My guess: The kids who used Discord for gaming grew up, and just went with the familiar thing when starting new communities and projects.

Also, Discord did heavy marketing early on, until it carved out a network effect. So here we are.

In most places, there's money in enforcement, and power in disenfranchisement.

I don't know what Thailand-specific motives might be in play here, if any.

In GloriousEggroll's wine-ge-custom builds, enabling Emulate Virtual Desktop in winecfg breaks the wine prefix, so that nothing (not even wineconfig) runs in that prefix any more. Anyone know more about this?

I would report it, but I'm not on Discord and that seems to be the only place where he accepts reports. Maybe someone can copy this post to him there?

Here's the output when trying to launch winecfg after enabling that setting on Wine-GE-Proton8-22:

There's some good background and explanation in this comment.

Federated is a form of decentralized.

The fact that not accepting health insurance helps keep prices low says volumes about the US healthcare system.

I started replacing my food storage containers with glass a few years ago. It's not only safer, but also nicer looking and easier to clean.

I didn't want my old plastic to go in the waste stream, so I use it for overflow dry goods, hardware storage, and household cleaning tasks.

It doesn't surprise me at all that people have become less willing to contribute to wikis, now that the likes of Fandom/Wikia and Fextralife are the dominant wiki hosts. Who wants to give away their free labour and time to profit corporations, and have their work mired in cesspools of obnoxious advertising, awkward javascript interfaces, and web tracking?

I think what we need are independent wiki hosts. For example, have a look at https://bg3.wiki/

Most of us over at [email protected] seem to agree that the author is either trolling or picked the wrong dump stat for an aspiring game critic.

I wrote a more detailed response over there.

Looks like Hans implemented a workaround in vkd3d-proton 2.10, using the open-source AMD vulkan driver on linux (RADV).

Device generated commands for compute

With NV_device_generated_commands_compute we can efficiently implement Starfield's use of ExecuteIndirect which hammers multi-dispatch COMPUTE + root parameter changes. Previously, we would rely on a very slow workaround.

NOTE: This feature is currently only enabled on RADV due to driver issues.

I don't imagine it will take long for this to make its way into a Proton experimental release. Folks with AMD graphics who are comfortable with linux might want to give it a try.

He focuses on the visual aspects of the game, which are indeed wonderful and contribute a lot to immersion, but to me, a host of other elements contribute at least as much to making this game stand above the rest. The writing, acting, world richness, player agency, variety of story possibilities, battle mechanics, and sound design, for example. There's so much to love that even with all the bugs, it's still a lot fun.

Please inform your niece that the patch has been applied and that the
lonely "s" need pine away no longer.

Thanks,

I suspect Valve is truly refurbishing these, rather than blindly reselling returned units with a refurb label (as we sometimes see from certain retailers). Good for them!

Portable, Windows-free gaming just got more affordable. I love it.
