Oh for sure, I get that. It’s not exactly something you can copyright. But when the entire art style heavily leverages stolen assets, that’s not a good look - I imagine they’re stuck redoing nearly everything from scratch just so they can be sure to remove anything that was stolen.
I have zero faith in anything Bungie does though until Pete Parsons bites the curb and the studio becomes developer-owned though so I’m sure something will slip through the cracks
The only game I actively played that didn’t work on Linux was destiny 2, and switching to cachyOS has really helped me kick that toxic game out for good.
I’m actually almost surprised they didn’t just pull it entirely after this. It’s not like it’s just one or two assets, the entire goddamn art style ripped off that artist.
Yeah I feel like v15 released a bit too early outside of preview builds. It’s a substantial improvement but doesn’t feel quite ready.
I’ve done exactly this with wg-easy so I can use my external VPN on my phone while still connecting to my home network without toggling VPNs.
My config here is for v14, you’ll want to pin the image version: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/discussions/1192#discussioncomment-12973135 Note there’s a small typo in the local network Down rule I added, I’m on mobile right now else I’d copy my current config instead that cleans it up a bit since this post.
In the same thread, someone posted a fantastic guide to get it working with v15. You’ll need to add an iptables rule for full LAN access if you want to enable that: https://blog.bktus.com/en/archives/2918/
V15 was giving me issues because it didn’t allow you to disable ipv6, but apparently the latest edge builds do. I haven’t tried that yet
I wouldn’t day D4 is a good game but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. I stopped playing right after VoH came out, and the direction that expansion was taking the game didn’t interest me, but it was a fun time overall. Not a very deep game though and endgame was basically non-existent since everything falls over at that point.
Honestly the collectathon genre as a whole doesn’t hold up much these days. A few modern games pull it off here and there, but going back and trying to play any of the classic Rare titles feels like a slog.
Loved all those games as a kid, and they did a ton to shape the industry, but they don’t really hold up.
I started with Shadowkeep and I got sucked in hard for 5 years. The first year or two I heard these sorts of negative comments here and there, mostly from long-term players, but didn’t think much of it.
Fast forward to this past year, and Revenant is what made me say fuck it and drop the game entirely. I was already sick of the state of the game, powercreep to hell and back, pvp in the dumpster, nonexistent loot, etc etc. But jesus that season was eye-opening. I uninstalled a day after Tomb of Elders launched.
I was also a major completionist - near max triumph score, never missed a day 1 raid from DSC onwards til unfortunate scheduling fucked our SE run, every GM soloed to that point, shit like that. Missing that one single season and a couple shitty little time-limited events was enough to feel like I’d fallen behind, and that was it. Booted up the game once since to check out Heresy, activity was the same shit as always, loot was dogshit, so I checked out right away.
And that’s just the gameplay gripes. Bungie as a studio is toxic as fuck in so many ways and I can never in good conscience support them again.
It took a few years but I finally understand what people were telling me way back when I started.
Even TF2 gave special cosmetics and stuff to existing players when it went F2P ages ago. It’s a standard practice at this point. I sunk 12k hours into D2 until I quit it for good this past fall, and looking back I swear I just notice more and more red flags like this that I hadn’t thought too much about.
I know the mobile browser space is just weird overall, especially Firefox forks, but it definitely stood out to me. Things that work totally fine in Librewolf out-of-the-box were totally busted, and most settings are inaccessible.
I’m still keeping an eye on it though, as Fennec leaves a lot to be desired, and using a chromium-based browser like Vanadium won’t do it for me because I rely so much on the cross-platform sync functions.
I’ve tried it a few times but tend to fall back to Fennec. While Librewolf on desktop is restrictive by design, it also still allows you tweak the settings to your liking (with some scolding). Ironfox felt much more locked down to me, and if a site was completely broken, I couldn’t do anything about it in the settings.
Nah, but personally I have no need to expose anything and would rather avoid the security headaches and such that come with it
Well a VPS or an exposed service, but I feel like the latter ends up somewhat defeating the purpose anyway.
When running locally (not exposed), it worked great until I tried to make the initial connection from mobile data - can’t establish a connection to headscale if it can’t reach it in the first place. Unless I’m mistaken, the headscale service needs to be publicly accessible in some way.
I decided to experiment a bit with Headscale when the wg-easy v15 update broke my chained VPN setup. Got it all set up with Headplane for a UI, worked amazingly, until I learned I was supposed to set it all up on a VPS instead and couldn’t actually access it if I wasn’t initially on my home network, oops.
I might play around with it again down the road with a cheap VPS, didn’t take long to get it going, but realistically my setup’s access is 95% me and 5% my wife so Wireguard works fine (reverted back to wg-easy v14 until v15 allows disabling ipv6 though, since that seemed to be what was causing the issues I’ve been seeing).
I’ve had mixed results doing this. Not really sure why
Setting a home server this year made me realize this. I had nothing but a synced google drive (which I’ve since migrated to a restic-backed nextcloud instance). Literally nothing else.
Now I have full regular snapshots of both my server and my desktop, routine backups to a cloud bucket, and a large external hard drive I manually back up my media library to once a month.
I still want to set up snapshots for my desktop. I do have restic backing up basically everything but cache folders and game installs right now, but if I need to do a full system restore that’s not going to cut it.
Juggling a lot at once right now.
Been working on platinums/100% for every single RGG game since Feb last year. Currently on Yakuza 2 (HD PS3 port since it actually has trophies but is entirely in Japanese lmao) and Kurohyou 1. Kurohyou 2 and Kenzan are the last games left after these.
Deltarune Ch 3 and 4 are gonna eat up a LOT of time this week and next
Sunk 20 hours into Nightreign, still haven’t beaten the first big boss because matchmaking is a nightmare. Might revisit this when some friends actually want to run it for once idk. Fun game but one bad teammate can fuck the whole run.
This one’s super annoying, I’m glad the tab thing actually fixes it for a bit because I was completely killing my browser every time before I learned about that.
Hope this fix goes live soon
Microsoft (and by extension id and Bethesda) are a priority target for the BDS boycotts against Israel
I remember when I first got my OLED it refused to connect to my router until I disabled the 160hz band. That seems to be fixed now, but I wonder if they reintroduced that bug or something in the beta at some point.
