Ah I've always used the free version, I did not realize there was a paid version.

What are ryujinx and Panda3ds doing differently? Or is it just a matter of Nintendo going after the most popular options?

An RPi with RetroPie :)

Ah alright. Yeah those are going to get pricier.

Are you talking about something you hook up to the TV? A raspberry pi is a great option but you need to provide your own games. It's just going to be the most flexible for playing whatever game you want. There are a couple distros for it that are easy to use once setup (retropi, recalbox). An RPi 3 or newer will do anything lighter than N64.

The best part is that this was added in response to people complaining about it not generating diverse enough people, so they made it randomly add different races to person requests that don't specify race.

For any one who finds it in the future - I just set a Steam launch with gamescope set to half my native resolution, fullscreen and enabled fsr. Games run at the weird 1128x752 and FSR makes it look even better but I get great performance.

Just wanted to report back that this worked perfectly.

[–] raptir@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

It's from Star Wars Episode 1.

I haven't watched that movie in years and watched it the other day with my son.

He's not even eating the cheeseburger, crap AI.

To be honest you run into issues with gas stations, too, and often need to look for the right one.

 

If you aren't familiar, it was Travis Baldtree's ARPG before he worked on Torchlight. You can recognize some of the concepts there like utility pets. It also has a cool loop that you "retire" your character to pass on bonuses to your new character - increased fame and being able to hand down an item that gets upgraded every time you do so.

I'm not saying it beats out Last Epoch or Grim Dawn, but it's a solid old-school dungeon romp.

 

I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don't know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is working.

So now I'm here pirating a show that should be available to me through a service I pay for. Gabe was right, piracy is a service problem.

I recently switched my server over to running Plex and Home Assistant in Docker. I like the ease of transfer (just move my compose file and one directory where I have stored all the configs and I'm set) as well as the simple permissions management to give access to directories.

I have only used Fedora briefly, but I am considering it instead of my usual openSUSE because it is "officially supported" for the Framework 13 I have on order. I saw the immutable versions and the idea seems cool though I don't really understand what new I would need to learn or really what benefits it would have.

Is the concept overkill for a single-user laptop?

 

A lot of them seem to be "free" with an optional subscription.

 

I was always a huge fan of the Guild Wars Mad King event. GW2 took it to the next level with a lot of fun activities.

What games have seasonal events that you enjoy?

 

I played a ton of Diablo when it first came out, but never really got into Hellfire. I set it up on devilutionx on my phone and I've been playing a warrior. I keep getting "block locked." I remember that being an issue in Diablo, but not at all to the extent I'm seeing here. As few as three enemies can keep me locked up to where I can't fight back.

Am I misremembering Diablo, or are things worse in Hellfire for Warriors?

 

Has anyone else been getting frequent error messages on lemdro.id the last couple days? I am using the standard web interface and keep seeing something to the effect of:

I was on Play Music/YouTube Music for years and ultimately switched to Spotify as I found that YTM didn't have accurate information about obscure artists. For some obscure bands I like it either had no information (and so playing radio of them would just play their own music, or unrelated music I like) or poor information (and would play music that wasn't really similar). It also became "over-personalized" - for example, on my wife's account it would only play power metal if I played Blind Guardian radio, but on my account it would play death metal and stuff that's somewhat related but not particularly.

Spotify has been better on the first front as they have a better database of music, but still has issues with the second. I'm also frustrated with the number of ads I still get despite paying - not audio ads, but popups and such for concerts, or recommended podcasts or whatever while browsing.

Any recommendations? I tried Deezer but found that they have pretty poor info about artists - with very dissimilar artists being noted as similar.

 

No one told me the new Tomb Mold was so good.

 

I'm thinking about buying the 16 as I want a new Linux-compatible laptop and I like the whole idea behind Framework. I do a little bit of gaming but honestly just what my Steam Deck is capable of, so I was planning on buying it without the GPU for the moment.

Looking at the two processor choices, they seem very similar on performance. I'm not sure I can justify the $200 price difference, especially with the hope of a future upgrade to a newer generation.

Any other thoughts?
