This is fascinating!

Let me know when it does surgery on a grape 🍇

DVD readers often don’t let you read from DVDs until opened by a valid program… But stay unlocked after that.

What I’ve done is open in VLC, close immediately, then use dd to copy the contents of the disc to an ISO

Going Under is so much fun!

I’ve never been able to get it to launch on Linux (Ubuntu 23, 16 GB, AMD Ryzen)

“unciv” is a good FOSS Civ V clone! The gameplay is addicting and it runs on anything

“electron” would be one example of a particle species

I believe this is a Lara Croft reference

Sorry, wherever I saved this from had already cropped out the artist signature :(

Definitely No Man’s Sky

It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on

I would use some kind of CAD software to design a backplate, making sure to add things like physical supports with screwholes that match your motherboard’s mount points and vents at the right spots. You can get things like that 3-D printed, would be an inexpensive way to prototype it :)

Accessibility. People who can’t grab or use an XBOX controller with their hands need to use custom controllers, including things like foot pedals.

Just caught up on the whole thing + Pepsiphobia, thanks for sharing :)

Have some empathy. These aren’t oligarchs plotting a foreign war, these are everyday people (half the country!) being forced into poverty.

I sympathize with the large flaws in Lemmy that cause huge problems for moderators. I’d personally prefer to stay with it and continue to push the devs / community for upstream bugfixes (through PRs, open issues, or bug bounties), but I do understand if that becomes unmaintainable.

If the user experience on a new platform is similar I’d likely stay; if it does change significantly, I most likely would switch to actively use a different Lemmy instance.

I spend all day at work with a keyboard and mouse, so I try to use a controller for absolutely everything else

It still means they’re selling your info to advertisers

Set one mouse to left handed and another to right handed.

Rogue Legacy! You are a knight invading an evil wizard’s castle. When you die, your children take up your mantle and try again.

Dying means you get to try again with a descendant that has different quirks, like “being left-handed” or “dwarfism”

What would you describe as the main difference?
