I haven’t read the article, probably won’t, doesn’t really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don’t play as the shooter. I’m surprised others didn’t interpret the same way.

I’ve never heard of that type of action occurring anywhere else.

There were a couple of high profile cases in Canada a while back.

• David Milgaard
• Steven Truscott

As long as it continues to be sold on store shelves, it’s modern enough to count.

I can’t see the name Crash and not think of the 1996 movie with James Spader. Which is weird as fuck.

I haven’t tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here’s the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

I quite enjoyed the dungeon keeper games back in the day

IIRC Exanima itself was never meant to be the full open world RPG. It was always intended to be a smaller game to perfect some of the game mechanics for their ultimate goal of building that open world RPG. I have no idea if they still plan to build that other game or if they are working on it in parallel or have ditched it entirely.

Edit: The community seems to believe that the devs are still planning to make Sui Generis at any rate. Exanima has been in EA for 10 years or so now, and based on what I’m seeing online they are almost at their 1.0 release version, at which point they will divert their attention to to Sui Generis. Take with a pinch of salt, as this information comes from the r/exanima community on reddit.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn’t want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

Right, someone else does it too, so that obviously makes it OK right?

I had a similar problem with one of my displays going wibbly like that every time I rebooted during POST and system boot. Only going back to normal once X started.

When I checked my monitor’s display settings when it was wonky, I found that it had the refresh rate set to 14hz and really strange resolution. Turns out it was the display port cable. Replacing that fixed it right up.

Yeah, I definitely died a few times when I first started playing the game on release. And then tons of times after that too because the game is very unforgiving at the start (But gets better as you improve your skills).

Just an FYI though, those types of spoilers don’t work on Lemmy clients other than Sync. So your spoiler is just visible to anyone that is not using Sync. Sadly, Lemmy’s spoiler format isn’t supported by sync, so you’re screwed either way.

Well yes, ultimately that was the problem in the end. But they had 2 good releases under EA before that happened. Somewhere along the way EA went entirely to shit and Sim City was one of many casualties.

The series shit the bed with the online only bullshit with small maps, and then Cities Skyline came along shortly thereafter to steal their lunch.

Yeah, at the beginning of the game you’re complete ass at swordplay. You get better as you improve your skills and learn how to parry, but those are gated behind experience and training in the game.

I suspect you may have been running the wrong way. It’s an easy mistake to make. But that entire sequence can be challenging even after you get on a horse.

I just tried again now with JS enabled and my ad blocker enabled in Firefox, and it seems to be working ok now.

Whatever the reason, this appears to be fixed now.

Yes, as soon as I enabled JS I see the same behaviour. It seemed fine with JS disabled though, albeit with nothing showing in the sidebar.

Rofi is a good alternative to dmenu as well.

All the benefits of their Visual Studio add-in, Resharper, are built-in to Rider.

And it’s faster because they don’t have to work within the restrictions placed on VS plugins.
