There are ratings in Discover on Linux. I have absolutely no idea where they are pulled from but that might be the right platform.

Definitely keep it simple for the first game. A Smash like was recommended in the other thread. I think that’s a fantastic idea. Start with a small roster of two characters and one stage and improve from there.

A smash type game would be great! Add characters from Tux Kart and from other open source projects. Maybe a paperclip and apple as well, as villains.

Knowing Roblox it will probably allow adults to send unfiltered lewd messages to children…

Da oben fliegt ein Reiher!
Von unten sieht man seine…

Ach ne, das ist ein Kranich!
Der hat ja sowas gar nich.

Suddenly the Angry Bird designs make more sense.

I back up all user data, for me that’s some folders in /var, all of /etc (don’t need everything, but it’s small enough), mysqldumps and pgsqldumps of my databases and the output of dpkg --get-selections. And the backup script itself.

Everything is rsynced to a server in another location.

I want to switch to Borg backup but haven’t found the time yet.

Gotta check if my GPU even supports CEC.

Plus, their equivalent of the AUR, the open build system, can actually be used to build packages for any system.

For the first time in forever I am playing multiple games at the same time.

Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos. I had that game as a kid but I don’t think I ever got any further than the first enemy. And it’s amazing! The whole game is dubbed. And it has four protagonists to choose from, each with their individual voice lines about basically any situation or item you come across. And all the NPC’s lines match them and they address you by name.

And the graphics are super beautiful. Pixel graphics but with great details and animations. Like when you get your spellbook you get a super elaborate T-1000-like animation of some droplets forming a scroll.

X-Wing via XWVM: The old X-Wing game with updated graphics and quality of life improvements. Just awesome! It’s still an alpha but basically plays like a beta. I have hardly any bugs, just occasional crashes, and none are game breaking. And supposedly they are already pretty far along with TIE Fighter compatibility. Can’t wait to play that. TIE Fighter TC is nice and all, but stuffing everything into the X-Wing Alliance engine feels pretty clunky while XWVM just works.

Cyberpunk 2077: My son bought it on sale and I wanted to try it as well, although I don’t really like cyberpunk. Too realistic. But the game is great. Plays like a combination of Deus Ex and GTA. I’d say it feels more like the original Deus Ex than the newer Deus Ex games. Maybe with slightly less open levels. But not much.

Limbo: The game is about to be delisted from GOG so I got it quickly. It’s chill to play which suits me well. Love it so far.

Yes, but that would involve choosing a password manager, setting up the password manager, learning how to use the password manager and remembering to use the password manager.

Obligatory reminder that defensive lawyers are an important part of the judiciary system to ensure that there is no doubt in a person’s guilt.

I’m reminded of when my boss asked me whether our entry test was too hard after getting several submissions that wouldn’t even run.

Sometimes prospective employees are just shit.

Doesn’t make it any less outrageous.

Light sabers follow a similar overall principle of ‘plasma bolt contained by some kind of coherence field’… but they use totally different internals to generate both the plasma and coherence field, and can seemingly just… do this nearly infinitely, never needing to ‘reload’, never running out of energy.

In the comics taking place tens of thousands of years before the movies the Jedi have to carry large energy cells with them. They are attached with long cables to the hilts.

They aren’t lasers, though. That’s just a colloquial term. Like how we call large language models AI.

You are what you eat.

Luckily it actually turns itself back on on the way down, thus slowing the descent.

Is there even a botanical definition of vegetables?

Rowling striking again with her TERF views that only integrated GPUs matter.
