Do I understand that you have extracted the flatpak?

I mean… yeah, that’s not going to work. It’s hard coded to use those paths because it’s meant to run in a sandboxed environment.

By “you” I meant “one”, referring to the game’s developer/integrator. Pardon.

dwaa? you’d have to try so hard to make a game fail if it isn’t on the root partition. having trouble conceptualizing it

I once played a game with another complete waste of bandwidth, and it was so much fun. Once there are enough players for meaningful ranking it will be amazing.

BAR is tight. It will be nice when there are a bunch of shitty players for me to play, few people are as bad as I am.

A small or underfunded community of white hats will not necessarily outperform obscurity.

“I want people to accept a bogus solution so this will all just go away.” Okay? But surely you can appreciate that people are not likely to be moved by your bad faith suggestions.

That’s exactly a security concern from a design point of view. Your desire to trivialize it doesn’t change its nature, access control is access control. That’s not what DNS is for and making it do that is going to cause everyone regret.

DNS for security? What could possibly go wrong…

I have never received spam on Signal.

A link to an image and a link to a video, but no link to a website…

The lack of self-awareness in this comment is depressing

A link to a video with no description or even a meaningful title. Bad _carmin!

I got it about a year ago and I’ve been playing it again recently. It’s okay.

I’m super frustrated that for some reason, Sid Meyer’s SimGolf doesn’t run on any emulation or modern hardware. It was just a friggin windows 95 game!! I have no idea what’s so special about it.

Space-click is such a nice feature. I stopped wishing I could edit queues once I found it.

I’m playing a skirmish at 0.1 resource production, pausing constantly, and it’s STILL pretty overwhemling. But fun and slick!

WOW. I just had a vision of my potential life for the next several years.

You can use your file server, your git server, your plex server, etc. when you’re not at home.

Oh, you mean the advantages of using somebody ELSE’S vpn?? They get money.

I keep hoping that one day Firaxis’s 2002 SimGolf will be supported. I tried Golftopia but it doesn’t quite scratch the itch.

LibreWolf (for example, among other security-conscious software packages) does it by default to reduce enabling of fingerprinting. The information is misused far more often than it is put to any of the user’s interests.

Stats like this one, but not this one specifically.

He does, and gaming on linux is an excellent resource we are fortunate to have. OTOH, GFY has now borne a grudge over this for months and makes a point of posting about it at every opportunity.

This link does not even generate any ad revenue (unless I cannot figure out how to turn off my ad blocking). It’s so petty.

Whatever apps and corporate synergy they might have, no commercial consumer OS meets my most basic use cases for operating a computer. The whole point of commercializing the OS was to take power away from users and artificially limit our options. It wasn’t even a secret, there was huge industry-shaping lawsuits about it. But people don’t give a fuck about that if they can’t run Fortnight…

I’m annoyed we didn’t all go with BSD, but this is nice. We got to hold on to some of our nice things for once.

So, this is embarrassing. Apparently up until this point, every time someone said, “monero,” what I heard was “Venmo”, and I just tuned out that pay pal bullshit every single time. Oops. I know better now, thanks.

People actually use bitcoin for critical use cases. It satisfies needs in their lives that don’t just have to do with crypto. Another vanity coin is not a substitute.

Really! I got started on Simutrans and had a lot of difficulty moving to oTTD. The straw that broke the camels back was having to lay down rail tile by tile instead of routing between two point.

I have thousands of hours in Urban Terror. I wish the jump mechanics could be enabled in other games. I have so many neurons dedicated to it.

Simutrans, surely.

Every couple of years I throw 40-80 hours into (eg) https://crawl.akrasiac.org:8443/#lobby

I was a total Rust junkie, I was playing 40 hours a week. Then they dropped support for the Linux client and wouldn’t let Proton users do EAC. I had to stop cold turkey. But I fucking did it, because fuck capital-driven operating systems designed to exploit me and my own computer against me.

I feel like this is just enabling Microsoft.

how precious

ur mom repasted my x-ps but it just made it worse

IDK, Unreal Engine runs on Linux, can export to Linux, and the Unreal Tournament games are released on Linux.

You are cherry picking. What about EVERYTHING ELSE?

That’s a public line. It’s BS. Sweeny has been actively trying to torpedo gaming on Linux for YEARS. I don’t know if it’s just “Steam is good for Valve so it’s bad for me”, or if it goes deeper than that, but it’s obvious in the last decade of behaviour.

I don’t need to understand that it’s an issue for you, but I want to understand why it’s an issue for you.
