Quoting: Mountain ManI used my OG Steam Controller right up until the new one arrived on my doorstep, and I had no problem making the switch, although oddly enough, the original now feels oddly clunky in comparison.

I do have to bend my thumb a little more now, and yeah...I'm being whiny. :P

After playing some Boltgun with both flickstick and the trackpad, I'm starting to think that the gyro is even better in the SC2 than it is in the Steam Deck, which I thought was A+ class.

Quoting: Renzatic Gear

Quoting: Mountain ManPlayed all day with the Steam Controller. I can say it's the best controller I've ever used.

I just got mine. I decided to use the old Steam controller while waiting for the new one to arrive as a sort of last hurrah for it. Now, because of that, I've gotta get used to the lower trackpad positioning. I kinda screwed myself on that front.

Other than that, I'm liking it. It's great at Brotato!

Quoting: BumadarI can't really find how they got passed thr HDMI Forum licensing?

My guess: HDMI 2.2 will be the new "no license" situation. HDMI 2.1 has a data transfer rate of 4k @120Hz and some monitors already allow 4k @240Hz (which DisplayPort can handle btw). So there is a good argument for companies to implement HDMI 2.2 and pay for it (even if it is just for advertisement). I think they only want to get payed for the newest license. This way they allow older specs to be implemented, which strengthens their market position (better have it build in everywhere to be present everywhere than taking the last cents they can get).

Quoting: awfulsauceIt appears one of my worst fears when it comes to FOSS and AI is coming into fruition.

AI makes a lot of wannabe developers lazier because they don't try to understand what results they're getting from it and think that's the be all end all to solving the problem.

Quoting: CaldathrasHow does that work now? Do you have to play the games through the Luna service or are the codes/keys still independent of Amazon, as they were before?

There's a bunch of codes for GoG and some other services. No need to ever touch that luna stuff.

I swear, I forget that this is a thing that exists and is available the second I close their site, until I'm reminded of its existence by peoples on social networks :D

Quoting: tmtvllet's hope they make more than 20 controllers next batch

Actually it was 200! But 150 went to TikTokYouTube-‘reviewers'/influencers, 30 went to actual reviewers who know what they’re doing (Hi @Liam 👋🏻) and the rest got bought up by scalpers and their botnets.

I broke down and bought it.

Discount if you have the other 2 games.

(I saved a whopping 4 bucks)
:P

Quoting: tpauIt is incredible that this development still relies on files exchanged over e-mail.
Even worse is that these mailinglists are publicly archived with full names and e-mail-adresses.
Why not keep that to those that subscribed and not let harvesters access them?
Where are the gitlabs and githubs and modern infrastructure? ;)

If a process has been working for this long, why change it? Besides, emails are still a good way to leave paper trails in case anyone wants to go back to see what conversations have been going on during the development process. Using modern infrastructure doesn't guarantee that every conversation will be available forever because all of it can go away if no backup (or the backup got deleted) was done to preserve it in the event the repository or other modern tools ceased to exist.

That idea exists for decades and all times it was tried ended up in banning potential serious developers. I mean, just give a look how Reddit moderators do their job. We all heard about the horror stories of people getting banned for non harmful content if it just contains a minimum amount of critics to a topic. If I can ban you in the network, you are banned everywhere, not just on my project, even if I did not ban you for AI usage, I just need to tell you used AI.

Not even speaking about situations like Github writing "co-authored by Copilot" on non LLM PRs.

The mind behind this idea is great and I would support it, but the real world situation just shows that it harms more than it actually helps. The FOSS-community needs to think about a better solution.

Quoting: Jarmeroh man. GIVE THIS A TRY. It's got a very unique skill system I've never seen in any other arpg ever.

Someone in Steam Family is fan of such games and will buy it sooner or later. So I will gain gratis access to test it before buying. To me it is still a huge difference if something is isometric or third person.

It is indeed cool to have true offline singleplayer functions in Dragonkin. I also highly value "no planned game destruction".

Quoting: tmtvlThat's nice, let's hope they make more than 20 controllers next batch. Saltiness aside, I hope SC Controller gets support for the SC2, would be nice to be able to use it without Steam.

20 controllers 😂

Huh... never heard of it before. Guess it's time to dig out RTCW again. I think I still have the DVD version somewhere.

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: KrejsyLainenHow legacy are we talking? Nouveau is getting quite nice these days :)

The open source stuff is now focused on GTX 1600 and later (newer firmware). So not legacy.

When I used nouveau on any hardware years ago everything was superbroken.
In the last months I tried it on a 330m(old macbook), a 450, a 660, a quadro k600 and the mx550 in my laptop, on every card I had little to no issues (though nvk was broken on kepler), just a manual reclock with a oneliner and everything I tried just worked.
So much so that I just ignored the proprietary driver, on older cards the legacy proprietary driver is super finicky and there are so many problems, with nouveau everything including wayland worked.

I agree with @pb with the added that submissions could be used to increase social engineering attempt success rates. The code “looks right” and the AI verifier says it is “safe”. “I’ll merge it”. That on top of people “writing code” that they don’t understand in the first place.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need three-strike system for accounts contributing to open source projects. First slop submitted to any project = warning, second = red flag, third = ban from opening any pull requests. Project maintainers would be able to opt in/out to allowing these accounts to contribute to their projects. Of course I realise that it's trivial to create a new account, but the main motivation behind such contributions are building "reputation" and filling these green squares, so that system should act perfectly fine as a deterrent.

South Africa does too. UK does too. New Zeeland does too.

It's a honking good idea to add a few small guards to lower almost your entire population stress levels by a noticeably amount.

Do you know that https://github.com/iortcw/iortcw will be updated to support this new extension? Or is that project dead?

It's great that this decompilation project is able to make Twilight Princess work natively on PC and Nintendo doesn't have any legal means to sue or take down the project because they're not distributing any copyright material other than the tools to make it work, provided that you have your own copy of the game.

Wow, I played a _lot_ of RtCW back in the day. I even won this unique stein from a contest:

But because I played on PC, I never even knew there was a prologue...

Quoting: LoudTechieYour boss can't fire you any moment he likes, yet you still fear his power.
The same is true for politicians.

Actually, here in Canada, your boss CAN fire you any moment he likes. I know as I used to be a business owner and employer. There is a whole list of government-proscribed reasons why you cannot be fired (race, gender, theft without proof, layoff if he rehires, etc.) but your boss can still fire you without providing any reason at all.

Where politicians are concerned, unless they commit a crime, they are safe until the next election which gives them a safety net that relies on the voter's notoriously short memory. The party system doesn't help, because voters sometimes overlook individual foibles in favor of their preferred political party. So politicians have a lot less to fear from their "employers" (the voters).

Myself, where politicians are concerned, I don't have a short memory.

Okay, my boss can't fire me any moment he likes and I still fear his power(since firing someone after their introduction period, without a government whitelisted reason and proof is illegal).
That's crazy.

I don't know where you live but in most places your boss CAN fire you anytime they please

The only places I was able to find that don't have an approved cause requirement are the USA and Canada.

Australia requires approved reasons for firing, Brazil does too, South-Korea does, the entire EU and its candidate states do, Japan does, the DRC does, Mexico does, Russia does and China does(for non-slave or minority workers).
