And thus the year of Linux adoption has been pushed back another 4 decades.

I generally agree, but I will say, it’s damn hard to get back into games like this after time passes.

The most extreme example would be Super Mario Maker, where some custom levels need game knowledge from a wide array of the various games, so if you don’t know that in SM2 you can pickup snowballs, you might get stuck for a while.

A normal example would be like Vanquish, where if you take a break near the end of the game the sheer level of technical necessity the game requires can make it very difficult to get back into it.

But those are extreme examples. Another example would be something like Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros., where everyone has their sort of muscle memory with these games. I played Melee competitively and I came back to the game and it was like riding a bike, or a Souls game, while hard, is just one boss at a time and the game itself doesn’t have too much technical growth.

Software jobs, don’t usually have kids, money only spent on games and hobbies, which are limited.

I have mine set up in groups, per hard drive.

Documents is set up for projects. Downloads gets grouped every few months and turned into a backup downloads folder on the backup hard drive.

So it goes from C:/Downloads into H:/Backups/Downloads/Downloads-11-19-2024

Every other hard drive is mostly just games, so it’s set up by project and the Games with whichever launcher.

I don’t have many projects that go more than 6 folders deep, most would be 4 at most

The bag is stolen by the main villain while you are in the pocket dimension, and he eats it.

Game over. Lol

Such a tragedy. But honestly knowing what he did makes it worth it IRL

There’s just something off-putting about a text based forum getting video content.

As opposed to everyone else calling them bootlickers, I think there is likely a subset of people like this who are not considering piracy against the big corporations as unethical, but the “trickle down effect” of piracy towards smaller business/individuals.

For example, if you were to pirate Starfield, no one would really care. If you were to pirate something like BlackOps, most people wouldn’t care (and those that do are corporate bootlickers). However, what about pirating indie games, or music VST’s, or circumventing a patreon from someone with under 100 supporters?

There’s two camps when I see anti-piracy comments; the bootlickers, and those that have the idea that pirates pirate everything relentlessly. The fact of the matter is that piracy does not hurt big corporations, but we cannot say that is also true for small developers publishing their game on their own, and vocal anti-piracy, or rather artist-in-mind individuals, will let the world know that we should support independent artsits and not pirate.

Now, whether or not indie games are getting pirated is a whole different story. And really, what this comes down to is just having the opportunity to purchase in a way that supports the pirates ease of access.

Also, it completely ignores the ethical aspect of piracy which is why support a company that doesn’t have your interests at the forefront of its business practices. Which is a very similar reason to decide to not pirate – I enjoy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I would like to see more if it, I will pay Hulu and watch the show to tell them to make more IASIP.

If you like something, don’t pirate it if you want more of it. It’s actually very simple. If you do like it but can’t support it for personal reasons, don’t expect to get more of it.

Which of course, for the anti-piracy crowd is another sentence for, “you didn’t pay to watch it so they cancelled my favorite show!”

Tl;DR - A poor crossover between an individuals enjoyment of corporate content and an supporting independent artists living wage.

I was more talking about their mobile devices, the iPods, iPhones, iPads, I should have made that more clear.

Even so, that doesn’t change the fact that Apple does actively prohibits users from accessing files/folders within the system, computers included. For something as basic as the Library folder to be hidden is just a little ridiculous.

It’s not hating on Apple to call out ridiculous things, and none of this is facetious. Unless you are a developer of some kind, having this hidden away in some ways is good for users who might break things. It just happens to make it difficult for anyone else who wants to have control over their computer.

You may as well have asked this question in 2012 because it’s exactly the same as it was back then, except now there is iCloud. Which in some ways is impressive.

Folders are generic labels, Photos, Documents, Downloads, and within those there is folder structure, but I’ve never seen any Apple user actually utilize them beyond the most basic organizational functions (and even that is not common). Granted, my demographic for the past couple years has been the elderly, but before that I worked with kids and it was basically the same.

If you use Apple products, you don’t need folder structures because you can’t take files off your device easily, it basically has to go through some form of cloud upload, if not iCloud then Google Drive. And you don’t need folder structures for the same reason, cause why are you adding files to your device from somewhere that isn’t iCloud?

This is only like 95% facetious, it’s actually ridiculous how closed off Apple makes their products. By default when you make a spreadsheet with Apple’s software it exports as a .pages file, instead of the actually useful .xls. This is for every. Single. Program. Word files, PowerPoint files, I’m sure there’s even a PDF specific Apple file format.

Idk. I blame Apple, and Android hasn’t done much to really bolster the need for file folders (not a bad thing, just lack of opportunity for learning).

But Apple actively prohibits its user base from engaging with folders, and has been for well over a decade - plenty long enough for my (millennial) generation to phase it out and for the generations after to never need them in the first place. Plus, emails aren’t dependent on file paths, whereas systems file paths are completely necessary.

Why pay someone else to run a service that you’d have been paying Netflix for.

That’s how I feel about Usenet tbh. If you’re going to pay, actually pay to support the shows you’re watching. IMO.

Otherwise you build a server PC and set it up for the *arr suite, Radarr, Sonarr and the rest. It’s the cost of your internet and your electricity after the upfront cost of your server.

Bonus: you have it when your internet is down, since they’re downloaded to the hard drive.

I’m sorry for this insensitive joke, but MiiTomo was too good.

Color change, eh? Sounds like B+W makes displays more energy efficient, that should be significant!

Ahh so it’s still never been confirmed then. The Aether2x event and the Reddit third-party event happened relatively close together, so I never got closure.

Sad that the emulation community has such a prevalent amount of vocal people who go around expectantly harassing developers. Such a large part of the community seems so nice and wholesome, but there is a significant portion that is also extremely vile and consistently ruins it for the rest of us.

Edit: Oh, and thank you for responding.

Linux isn’t for you. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t really like using Linux all that much.

If you stick with it, pick one. Stick with it. Use its documentation, not online forums.

You can’t use online forums because CLI on how to do things varies from distro to distro. So a command for Ubuntu is useless somewhere else, most of the time.

That results in following guides and having it stop working part way through. You will never get anywhere like this. When you eventually do get somewhere, you’re going to take some time away, or you’re going to break something on accident. Then you’ll have to set it all up again and likely will have lost some data if you weren’t careful.

I built a server PC for Plex and a few other programs, after a number of years running various temporary projects, like Raspberry Pi servers I felt semi-confident. It was going for about 7 months and now it is stuck in a grub menu and if I am able to get into the desktop everything is fucked up anyway.

Tl;Dr, you are having issues because you went with the most complicated distros. Run some normal ones like Mint in Virtual Machines, get a feel for the process to install a program – 1) manually, 2) from the “Linux store” (package manager) 3) from GitHub.

Anything else is just asking for a frustration headache

Iirc - Duckstation dev is the same one who did Aether2x right?
