I figure itll be in the bargain bin soon, so if whats there plays well enough I will give it a go. A shame it doesnt live up to expectations but it might still be fun to me.

So… Entertaining to someone like me who never played the original and has no expectations beyond playing as a vampire?

Indie is short for independent, as in, independent from outside support, specifically a publisher. Publishers frequently dictate how a developer does certain things as a result of wanting a return on their investment. The whole indie movement came from studios who wanted to do their own thing without a publisher squashing their ideas, and would therefore self publish.

There’s a huge misunderstanding that pervades the gaming industry where people associate small studios with being indie. They really aren’t. You can’t be indie if you depend on another entity to handle marketing, distribution, etc., who as a result has influence on your work. Being a small studio who uses 8 bit graphics or other stylistic devices doesn’t make a group indie, it just means they are trying to emulate being indie. “Indie publishers” know this is a marketing ploy that sells, and will therefore invest in and influence such projects.

This has been the real answer to every “how to do this thing that windows fucks up” article I’ve seen for years now. People need to start writing articles that start with “how to switch to linux” and leave the workaround as a last resort.

Trine 1 has co op. I played it 3 player

I liked it a lot. I like Elden Ring a whole lot more.

Its been years since being able to save files on my laptop hard drive for work. Its all onedrive. The company uses it as protection - if the laptop is stolen theres no proprietary data on the drive. It also ensures if my laptop breaks all my work is intact.

The autosave feature is also linked to allowing several people to work on documents simultaneously. This is probably related to forcing onedrive use. You can share links to the files, and being able to edit simultaneously is useful. If you turn off autosave like I tend to do sometimes then when others open the file at the same time you all end up with your own version and cant see what the others are doing.

At home I use linux. I got fed up ages ago with MS stealing my files.

For Stardew check your achievements and it will probably help to figure out what to do. If you made it to the island the room on the far west side has a checklist for getting “perfection” as well. When I finally got the movie theater I was also working on that checklist.

I bought the 8bitdo pro3 directly from their website. 30 day return policy, but you do pay shipping if its not faulty. To me its just slightly different to playstation controllers, so the shape and feel is fine. Controller has been working great. I may get another soon, looks like orange is back in stock.

Well thats interesting…

$349!

Nevermind

You can press, depress, re-press, unpress, and compress. Are they all different, are they the same? Hard to say but if you ever write a manual or procedure try to pick one and stick with it.

I just pick random shit. Pretty sure Steam thinks I’m 113 years old.

Admittedly this did backfire once when a company wanted my birthday to verify my ID to unlock an account. They were surprised I lied and I was surprised people don’t.

I remember trying to sign up for signal and stopped when it wanted my phone number. It’s no longer anonymous at that point. When I talk about it theres always people who come at me about it being secure and whats my attack vector? Well, its not secure. My vector is a desire to be anonymous, and clearly the anonymity this presents is a facade.

Also just to have voice navigation :/

I have to admit that growing up on windows made it really confusing this past week when I installed a new hard drive and had to add it to my steam library. I have to create a partition? And “mount” it? Using the terminal and commands??? Then after following tutorials for that I discovered Bazzite comes with a disk manager which makes it much easier.

I’m fairly new to Linux / Bazzite so I have limited advice, but if it used to work you could try rolling back to a prior version and see if that helps. Bit of a band aid solution but you will know if an update to Bazzite caused the issues or not.

I still play it once every few years. Love that game. Tons of secrets, dont look at any guides until you beat it, and have explored thoroughly.

I am glad to see articles like this. For too long I have seen articles saying “sick of this windows bullshit??” Only to find advice on workarounds in windows, or suggestions to use a console, or a fucking phone app. For too long Linux has been treated like the evil twin locked in the attic, never to be spoken of or acknowledged.

IT IS TIME! TIME TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE RELEASED THE LINUX AND IT WAS THE GOOD CHILD ALL ALONG! BART WAS THE EVIL ONE AFTER ALL! LET IT BE KNOWN!

Its funny this is news. I just assumed this would happen as soon as they announced implementation of AI and Recall. The real profit isn’t from AI, its all your personal data being harvested.
