Design requirements are too ambiguous.

It would be nice if it was possible to describe perfectly what a program is supposed to do.

Try to automate updates as much as possible so that new security bugs get fixed quickly.

I like flatpaks when they come from the developer. They are often more stable, up-to-date and complete than those from OS repositories.

What I don’t like about them is when I have to fight the permissions. They’re often too tight and make integration with the rest of the OS too hard.

Compile it yourself?

Now that I think about it, the marvellous thing about BG3 isn’t just the acting of the main characters but of the minor NPCs as well. It shows an unprecedented attention to detail and love and care.

I think the only “bad” acting I encountered in the game was that one kid who was apparently voiced by one of the staff’s kids. And that’s only because the model looked too old, for which I suspect that the kid chose their own model.

That’s actually pretty nice. Shows you early where you wouldn’t want to apply.

At least Silent Hill 2 was great as well. Lae’zel’s actress Devora Wilde actually did some mocap for it. She did some Maria and some of the monsters.

She’s streaming her own playthrough on Twitch. It’s hilarious and painful. BG3 was the first video game she’s ever played since the Sims back then.

But yeah, they really upped the game. And apparently they got Liv Tyler interested in doing games as well.

We’re really living through the time gaming is growing up.

That would be great. It would mean a ton of lost revenue and bad publicity for Denuvo.

It’s the integration into the Steam interface. So you could manage all your games through one interface.

It could have compatibility with everything in Steam, including achievements. But as long as it’s closed source I won’t touch it.

KDE Plasma has been getting so much more efficient with every release that you can almost recommend it for low-end systems.

Diablo and Diablo 2 (not Resurrected)

I think Diablo 2 even came with an extra disc specifically so you could give it to your friend to play via LAN. Then these fuckers removed the option in Resurrected even though they promised they wouldn’t.

StarCraft and the old Warcraft games work via LAN as well.

Quake, Doom, Unreal (Tournament), Half Life

So you’re saying I should register p5re.jp?

Super Mario World on the SNES. That game is just great. I love playing it every so often.

The Steam Deck literally is a PC. If for some inane reason you can’t get it to do what you want you can install Windows on it.

I think the only reason emulation is “worse” on it than on PC can be that a desktop PC has more power. Almost all emulators in general usage are open source and have Linux versions.

There are also no problems with running pirated Windows games. By now the only games that are problematic on Linux are multiplayer games with kernel level anti cheat that hasn’t been configured to work on Linux.

The Steam Deck is better than the Switch in almost every aspect. It just doesn’t come with detachable controllers. That’s it.

So if you want a portable console with detachable controllers buy a Switch. Otherwise there is no reason not to get a Deck.

Yeah, but by now I can’t even enjoy them without being reminded that they take place in the same universe as the rest. It just feels pointless.

I’ll rather keep my head canon in Legends the EU. Kyle Katarn stole the Death Star plans and Ben is Luke’s son.

I know enough people for whom that’s true.

I just have no interest in a Disney-ified KOTOR whatsoever.

Fast travel is a bit hidden in that game. You have to upgrade the boss’s tent to unlock it.
