I strongly disagree on their roguelite “bug” being something they need to drop.

Bastion didn’t land for me, so I didn’t play it, but Transistor would have shined as a roguelite. Its combat system is far too complex, and has potential for so much more, than what can be explored in one or two playthroughs.

The same goes for Cloudbank as a narrative setting.

Transistor, but with Hades’ gameplay loop and storytelling style would be insane. It already felt like a roguelite, but without a gameplay or narrative reason to go in for multiple runs.

Supergiant hasn’t cought a roguelite bug… They’ve found the perfect narrative and game format to match the gameplay systems and worlds they like to create.

Then Persona or Ni no Kuni shouldn’t qualify.

And then an update comes along and breaks compatibility. News stories about this are frequent.

A proton update? Just use the last version.

If you mean game update, this dev is targeting proton. As in their “linux support” will take the form of making sure they don’t break anything on their end.

I’m using a personal music library, built up and maintained over the years.

I host it using Jellyfin and access it using Symfonium on my phone. Performance is excellent.

That said, YT music seems to perform just as well, and is the only streaming service I’ve used on and off.

That would explain the difference in our experiences. I am a horror fan, so those aspect appealed to me greatly.

The game has “BT territories” to pass through which you had to sneak right through packs of BTs. I can totally imagine how that isn’t fun for someone who just wants the wanderlust experience.

Looking up Picard’s instructions… They recommend whipper, as others have done in the thread.

It can do the tagging for you, but it’s important to note that music CDs do not contain metadata.

All the rippers that exist, look up what the CD is online, based on stuff like number of tracks, their lengths, and order. iTunes was the ripping software everyone used back in the day, because Apple made and maintained the first extensive database that could be used to automatically tag ripped music.

Modern rippers typically rely on MusicBrainz (like Picard).

As such there is no 100% reliable auto-tagging ripper, because a disc might match more than one album, or not be in the database. Such cases will always require manual intervention.

I wasn’t referring to lemmy but the ActivityPub network overrall.

Even then, I consider lemmy “steady”.

I’m not going anywhere, nor do the other people posting seem to have any such plans… So the overrall usercount mostly shows up as a dip in voting volume as far as I can tell.

I feel like you must have said something dumb online, and gotten absolutely dogpiled for it, to draw this comic.

The stat that matters is MAU. That’s been a steady million for ages.

Accounts can spike or dive as people create bot-swarms or instances close up shop, or purge bots.

Ah. Beans.

These big companies don’t learn that fast.

The decisions to “invest” in these live service projects were made years ago, and execs are terminally allergic to pulling the plug on something once it’s a couple million deep.

They’re like cruise ships crashing into icebergs, except that once they set a course they aren’t set up to change it even if all the other ships start crashing and sinking.

I should catch up on this one. Such a cute slice of life with a sprinkle of fantasy.

What part got to you?

Played it with a friend and we had a blast bulding bridges, and especially ziplines, together with other players.

We got to a point where we essentially had the entire map covered by a zipline network.

The combat needed work, but we found ways to cheese our way through it.

Those get taken down on a regular basis. Not to mention the atrocious bitrates that is all they can manage.

Meanwhile, a high quality BluRay rip on my drive ain’t going anywhere.

You can’t seed properly.

“Why store anything? Just re-download it from someone who’s still storing it!”

You see the catch 22 here?

There should be a library type called “Home videos and photos” for that.

Huh? Like just sitting there?

Or is it running a heavy background task like trickplay generation? You can disable trickplay (scrobbling previews) if your system isn’t beefy enough to keep up with them.

I run video game servers on my system, and while stream transcodes used to interfere with them, even that was fixed my assigning JF and the games to run on separate CPU cores.

I think Bazzite is the closest to what people are hoping SteamOS on dekstop will be. Sane guardrails with extensive hardware support, and flatpak software installation pre-configured.

I’m an endeavour user myself.

Yes, eventually.

But you don’t really need to wait for Valve to get their things in order on how to support such a thing.

Because Bazzite is excellent. It’s based on the known good Fedora Silverblue, and brings in a bunch of improvements, as well as all the features unique to SteamOS.

And it works on Nvidia GPUs, with some caveats.
