Amusingly enough, the steam deck has made a lot of the state of this art get better. Usually if you mount the ISO and then tell Lutris to install it, it’ll work.

I still reserve the right to be astounded. One of my beta readers said I needed to add a disclaimer that this talk is satire, so I went through a few rounds to make the warning right. I guess we didn’t expect someone to get caught up in the title!

I’m astounded, I would have thought that putting an explanation that the article was satire would like…work. Should I have made it giant screaming red text?

Palworld. So much palworld.

No Man’s Sky, but they vastly redeemed themselves.

For the record, I’m pretty sure using Mullvad for XDCC is super overkill, but I wanted to have an excuse to break out userspace wireguard in a project and writing it all in Go made it so damn easy: https://github.com/Xe/x/commit/3d0647e946014516df33de0b18d2a16eec835bed

Generally when you download files over torrent through your ISP, you end up getting love letters from rightsholders. I personally use a homelab NAS as my seedbox and for my public tracker stuff (as well as anime downloads over XDCC) I use Mullvad. I don’t seed overly much on public trackers because of it, but my ratio on private trackers is sky high because ISPs won’t send love letters for private trackers.

If you have a hackable switch, dump your keys and demo it on your PC assuming it’s beefy enough. You’ll know if you like it within about an hour or two.

XC2 is a lot better than XCDE, XCDE really suffers from the era it came out of. XC2 was when Monolith really got their stride.

The hard part isn’t setting up an instance. The hard part is getting it well-federated. If it’s not well-federated then you’re going to be in a party on your own. If you have a fairly large follow list (about 3-5k) it may be better, but overall it’ll be a bad experience.

Yeah, i’m gonna axe my PS Plus account. It ain’t worth it. PS5 has no games.
