Veloren, it’s basically Hytale before Hytale

EDIT: It’s also open source

well that’s a disappointment

I thought it was Veloren

bazzite

and for anyone here using Linux (including Linux phones), an app called Frog does the same text extraction thing

quite funny for me to read this on a furiphone…

ironic, even

Fluxer and Element

reminds me of how way back in middle school i made a mmo-styled chat world in nothing but a shared google sheet. it lasted 2 weeks before the teachers had to ruin the fun for everyone (their excuse was that people typed slurs in it, but that’s bs because I would erase their edits and permanently ban them within minutes). i would also share obfuscated links to games and such on a hidden page, good times.

something something limitations encourage creativity

a tale as old as time

that first number singlehandedly helped me fix my mom’s phone. for context, 5g reception is quite mediocre where i live (especially if you’re on att, which my mom thankfully isn’t on). i went to network settings: no band toggle. i opened android’s advanced network settings menu: tried to gaslight me that this phone doesn’t have 4g (i know damn well it does). finally, that first number in your comment that opens HiddenMenu, showed an entry called “NR debug” or something like that. and there it was: “Disable NR”. her phone is so much faster now, but idk how long that will persist since some phones change this shit behind your back after like a week.

jellybean and gingerbread for me

and if you’re into a tracker-like workflow, renoise works really well on linux (assuming you can set up jack/pipewire properly or undo the horrror upon linux audio servers that is p*lseaudio. i feel this applies to most daws on linux)

i’m just dreaming of a good after effects clone (or port) for linux (preferably open source). left-angle autograph kicked the bucket, and pikimov is just a bit too limited. at least fusion360 can be streamed in a browser now, but freecad seems to be getting quite good as of lately.

i pretty much only use windows at school now for ae/cad work.

Mirror’s Edge. The ending scene in the game with the helicopter, I thought I was only halfway through, until I saw the credits roll in. I was like “WTF? THAT’S IT? THAT’S HOW IT ENDS??”

Then I played Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, which I think perfectly carries on from that horribly fumbled ending, but the gameplay just feels too overengineered to be enjoyable, they ruined the fighting mechanics, and the part that hurts me the most is that a majority of the original art direction was lost, it just feels like it was trying to blend in with all the Cyberpunk 2077 clones.

In both cases I’m sure it’s because of EA

i’d recommend aurora, it is from the same team that made bazzite, and is literally just bazzite but without the gaming apps preinstalled, focused more on average pc users

think steamos with all of it’s goodies (and more bazzite-exclusive features), but on a more standardised linux base so you can run it on any pc and handheld, not just the steam deck. bazzite is also just as unbreakable as steamos, since it is an immutable (read-only system files) os, and updates the same way as a phone does (downloads an update in the background, and uses it on next boot with a rollback option in the super rare event that it breaks something).

konqueror is all i ever needed
