Sure. Kinda like saying we're the same country today as we were before 9/11.

I'm not sure how the game engine can incorporate such fine detailed mechanics. It almost seems like it'll have to be reworked from the ground up, with only the assets being maintained.

I mean half life alyx's entire mechanics revolve around VR controls.

I've chomped all my kids. Cuteness aggression is a thing.

I was wondering why people were leaving the offices today ask solemn. Turned out the 2 floors above me were leased by firewalk. More room for the other gaming studio we're building out who was sub leasing them I guess.

My biggest gripe still is the planet that has an absolute embargo on it, ships stopping anyone from entering, a planet obliterated by the monsters, frozen over. You land, do the mission, and then right outside there's multiple POI with settlers just casually living, pirate bases just generically there. Like they couldn't even stop the POI's from spawning on the one planet that should have been abandoned.

Oh. Maybe I shouldn't share this but I never paid for a windows product. Even office when it went to 360 I stopped trying to pirate earlier versions and just switched to free open source office tools.

Windows 8 I think got authenticated when it went to 10 and I've just been riding that install. Still got my handy USB stick whenever I reinstall.

The shooter game is just a time killer for me. Dopamine memories from better times. The problem with using compatible apps is not all my friends will. Is datcord communicate directly with discord users? We already have a technologic dichotomy with half my friends on iPhone other on Android. Xbox vs Playstation vs pc gaming. It's tough to get people on the same page.

Oh OK. Makes sense. Hosted applications and side projects is like programming stuff? For non programmers do you use your Linux for anything else?

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

How and why do you have 3 operating systems. Across how many platforms?

Besides using it since Windows 95, I've done everything on it. Warez, making shady software work, learning the ins and outs to keep it my way.

I thought about switching since I've dabbled in dual boot before, but I just f don't want to be restarting my computer to keep switching between OS when one can do all I want with some baggage, and the other can do less without it.

Mainly for me it's compatibility. Discord, MW3, networking between my main PC and HTPC. Online gaming with friends. Full steam support.

It just works. Switching to Linux, finding a distro that will encompass what I do, running into problems, having to fix them, or worst case scenario finding out that I can't do the thing (mw3 or any game that has denuvo) without having to switch back to windows anyways in a dual boot I just don't see why having Linux to do anything that I'm already doing on windows is worth it. Why have dual boot. Removing the annoying windows baggage is just not enough for me to switch.

I just now switched from chrome to Firefox because they finally implemented the removal of anti ad extensions. It was an easy switch. The UI is a little different. But I hate nothing more than ads. Despise them. And paying to remove them isn't an option because it means I'm giving into the hostage situation.

If windows becomes unmanageable, I can't find ANY software to remove ads, even remove windows features that I can't live with, then I'll consider sacrificing the few things I can't do on Linux and move to Linux.

 

Sorry if this the wrong place, I couldn't find an HTPC, home theater, techsupport, or equivalent instance to ask.

The gist is I want to add a TV to my master bedroom for my wife to just browse the web, and for my kids to have something to watch in the mornings while my wife gets out of bed. I have a main pc in my theater room for gaming, and an HTPC on projector for movies and stuff. I don't want to get a roku or any mainstream smart device, but I'm OK with getting something like a raspberry pi (never done this) to have an air mouse hooked up to the TV so my wife can browse the web, open YouTube, Netflix, steam books, Spotify, as well as access my pc library of content for viewing. Not for gaming. Everything I'm finding online is people connecting their pc to their TV and it's always for gaming. I don't need large processing, just enough to watch things, while connecting to my home computers.

Thank you.
