Nobody has to pay for anything Lemmy or ActivityPub related because its FOSS.

That means Free Open Source Software.

As in, you can get and use the source code yourself without paying a single cent.

Just look at the current state of Skyrim modding.

Aside from some still holding to LE. There are the 1.5.97 SE users and the 1.6+ AE users. And there have been at least one or two more updates in the 1.6 line that also caused more issues and require their own dedicated builds of various mods.

Its fucked

I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.

A friend of mine has been looking to upgrade his gaming rig since its pretty old and low budget. Still even has Windows 7!

The build he’s looking at has Ubuntu. I’m excited to welcome him into the Linux community.

Certainly looks better than the average indie game. And before you come at me for saying that.

Indie is often touted as “better than AAA”. But in order for that to be the case, they need to at least offer something similar first. But most indie games are so far removed from even the average AAA game, that its basically apples and oranges.

AA, or mid-tier, is really where its at. Some of the best games in recent years have all been from the AA space. Even ones that launched rough like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk.

They are still leagues above the average indie game that most people here and “the site that shall not be named” tend to list off as their favourites.

So yes, Elden Ring indeed does have great graphics. Not the most cutting edge, but at least it looks like it belongs in the same generation as its competitors.

Funny thing is, most multiplayer blokes play at low settings anyways to maximize performance for some form of advantage.

For starters, it would need to have level streaming and a landscape system. The visual scripting system could use some work as well. It also needs a better GI solution. The stuff that currently exists is still a ways off from being production ready. Something like SVOGI so we can get some decent, voxel-based global illumination. I think that’s what they are trying for. But it still falls a bit short.

Only issue I have is its not quite close enough feature wise to replacing Unreal Engine for me.

Still impressed with how far Godot has come though. And currently using it for making non-game applications. Its actually quite good at that.

Awesome

Hoping I’ll find a good fps in this. Been looking for one for a while now. Most of them are basically fancy doom wads and quake clones. Might be able to find something of a more modern style.

I’m shitting in the shower.

Yes, from the book Ignition! by John Clark. Also quoted by Derek Lowe in an entry of his “Things I Won’t Work With” articles.

Chlorine Trifluoride is a better oxidizer than Oxygen itself. Hell, the germans in WW2 tried making self igniting flamethrowers with the stuff. But stopped because it was too nasty to work with.

At that point, they might as well just spray it directly on people. Screw using a fuel to ignite when the trifluoride is enough to set fire to literally anything. Even wet sand can be burnt by it.

For the main systems, sure. But non critical systems can pretty much run nearly anything.

Probably try a raspberry pi one. Custom built and with a custom OS. Not sure if there is a version of Lineage or Graphene that works on it, but that’s an option.
