Drummyralf,

If she used adobe suite for so many years, it would currently be agony to try and switch. It will take months, maybe even years to unlearn and relearn stuff properly.

Unless she only uses it for some simple cropping or something. Maybe you can add what kind of tools she actually uses?

Drummyralf,

So it’s eating its ancestor?

My Synology NAS has 512 MB of ram. She won’t be winning any races, but she’s a fine beauty. Hits NAS with a wrench

Weird. As a die-hard collectathon lover I thought the game was “ok”. I played it after all the patches. Some challenges were ridiculous and unfun, worlds felt empty and too big at times. Controls were okay. Still fun to explore the worlda and find challenges.

From the steampage:

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER – With an art and animations overhaul and enhanced performance and resolution, the favourite buddy duo has never looked or moved better.

NEW AND IMPROVED CHALLENGES – Improvements to existing in-game challenges and many entirely new challenges to discover and undertake!

NEW COLLECTIBLE CURRENCY – Capital B’s inept minions have dropped their hard-earned coins all over the place. Collect the official currency of the Hivory Towers to spend on video games’ most beloved sentient vending machine.

NAVIGATING THE WORLD – Now you can get lost in the game, not in the world! A brand-new world map and challenges tracker helps you know where you are and what needs to be done. Hooray!

VENDI HAS PLENTY TO OFFER – Tonics are back with all new flavours! With the option to equip multiple game-changing enhancements, you can truly customise your playstyle. And as if that wasn’t enough, Vendi has new lines of merchandise for the modern fashionable adventurer.

REVISED CONTROLS & CAMERA – A new tweaked move set allows you to combine moves more fluidly while the new camera controls makes framing the action a breeze.

A DREAMY ORCHESTRAL SOUNDTRACK – The original score from famed video game composers Grant Kirkhope (Banjo-Kazooie) and David Wise (Donkey Kong Country) returns but as a beautifully arranged orchestral score. Now seriously, clean out those ears

Especially like the addition of the map and the new collectable. We’ll see if the updated challenges get rid of/fix the terrible ones.

Drummyralf,

Just speculation on my part, but perhaps they are using a different engine. The original was made in Unity, this one looks like it was made in Unreal.

Drummyralf, (edited )

3D models aren’t tied to Unity, so all 3D models could probably easily be imported to Unreal.

Unity also has a 3D model exporter, so they could have used that to get all 3D models positions into Unreal within minutes.

E: still stuff like animations and game logic obviously take more time. Not trying to say that porting a whole game can be done in minutes, just the 3D Models.

Drummyralf,

Hmm, Verizon only? I don’t have it, I’m in Europe. Bought the phone without specific carrier.

So have you tried music production with Linux? Installing VSTs is exactly that: hours upon hours of banging your head against a wall with Wine.

There simply are usecases that don’t work out of the box with Linux that do on Windows because the companies don’t support Linux.

Drummyralf, (edited )

I think you vastly underestimate how many edgecases there actually are. Every one edge case might be a small userbase, but combined, all those small userbases make a significant userbase for whom Linux is less than ideal. And (just a hunch) on Lemmy, this % of users is actually larger than the population at large. Tech-savy people tend to use more obscure programs.

Some edgecases I happen to know(because I happen to fall into three edgecase groups!)

  • VR
  • adobe stuff
  • Many music plugins

Those are two creative edgecases. And I believe using your PC for creative work is actually quite a significant userbase.

And sometimes even IF a product is supposedly supported on Linux, it doesn’t work straight up. I recently tried to install Ubiquity’s Unify program on my Pop!OS, but nope, errors before even installing. Happened to need all kinds of weird dependencies that are outdated and are hard to install. Even when following Ubiquity’s install guide. On windows it just worked. Another edgecase, but it adds up.

So I disagree on your “majority” statement. Especially on Lemmy, I don’t believe that to be true at all.

But meh, maybe agree to disagree.

Drummyralf,

Yeah, thought this too. Identified a similair looking spider with an app once.

Big nope vibes.

Drummyralf,

Maybe we should have like a yearly event for this. Like a holiday. International Linux Year Day.

I know nothing about this subject, but my instinct would tell me that anc would actually be protective. If you phase out sound, it seizes ceases to exist, right? That is the whole point of it?

Again, pure instincts, don’t know shit myself.

Drummyralf,

Thanks for the heads up. Non-native, always willing to learn.

Drummyralf, (edited )

Well, typing and deleting lets me think thoroughly about where I stand in matters and what arguments I use. So in a way, it sometimes makes a difference for myself even if not posted.

Drummyralf, (edited )

I have the OG 46 mm (since its launch) and still charge it only about every 3 days.

Mostly use it to track steps, check time (obviously) and skip songs on my phone.

Drummyralf,

Does Lemmy have any sort of algorithm that puts more upvoted posts to the top and drown out downvoted posts? Or is it more based on replies?

Drummyralf,

One counterpoint I would have is that I believe most ads are paid per-click? I actively refuse to click on any internet ad anyway, might as well block it.

Drummyralf,

Any website that would have more of these type of retro pictures? Love that shit, looking how life was before my time.

Drummyralf,

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries.

Drummyralf,

The Sims 1 is great because they were basically rendered sprites.

Also most of the music on Sims 1 is just… some of the best music I’ve ever heard.

Drummyralf,

I like that RTFM can also stand for Read The Fucking Manpage.

Drummyralf,

How is the performance on a VM? I use Windows for VR and Musicproduction. Like 10%, 20% performance dip?

Drummyralf,

Yeah, I just upgrades my CPU, and even on my old one everything worked fine.

One more question though: why go the VM route instead of dualbooting? I guess mostly so you still have acces to all Linux stuff while using Windows?

Drummyralf,

I was like: “huh? But I’m using Boost right now!”

Drummyralf,

Any movie that is acting out one of my hobbys. I always appreciate it if the writers/producers actually took the time to research it. Stuff like:

-boardgame setups

-videogame gameplay

-musical instruments/singing being performed

I also always look in a carscene wether they are actually driving or if it’s a video/screen playing Basically I look a lot for clues behind the scenes with movies instead of enjoying the movie as is.
