Quoting: slaapliedjeMy sensibilities have always been that nudity is human nature and violence really isn't (or shouldn't be) yet in the USA we have silly laws like some states at least will require strippers to cover up their nipples if Alcohol is served. Like you can be 18 and go into a fully nude strip bar that doesn't serve booze, but you have to be 21 to go into a place that serves booze, but the strippers have to wear G-strings and pasties.

Just always seemed odd to me.

I had to read this twice and still have troubles to believe it. :unsure: :grin:

Quoting: monyarmMy project targets visual novels, including NSFW ones. I've discussed it with the devs on the Discord, and most of them are okay with upstreaming support for older SFW visual novels (Like Clannad or Kanon), but the NSFW ones (the porn/doujinshi games), and the relatively new-ish ones (like Persona), It was a no from the devs, infact one of them said that if a NSFW game was upstreamed they'd quit.

:-(

I'm surprised the support seems to be that game-specific. I was expecting more of an engine type of support, which then enables (maybe with some additional tweaks) several or even many games. So people could say this patch supports visual novel engine WhatEver, maybe mentioning some "safe" games, and leave the rest... in the dark.

Quoting: monyarmAnother worry I have, is how this is going to affect my fork (NovelVM), i originally began it based on ScummVM, then I switched to ResidualVM for the opengl support (and cause the game i'm working on has 3d). Now i'm going to have to switch back to ScummVM. And unlike last time, I have a lot more than 5 commits.

I guess you cannot bring them into upstream?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMore activity detected [External Link]...

It seems the Linux and Mac ports are close to be released.

When I saw there's a new post here, I expected to read that there's no activity anymore for months now and that they most probably have given up on it.

Quoting: fleskAurora: The Lost Medallion - a point and click adventure, which seems interesting, but I didn't achieve much before I got stuck. I wish there'd been a button to highlight hotspots, as I'm pretty sure I've missed something.

Thanks for pointing that one out!

Quoting: flesk(I wasted an entire day on the couch once, chasing perfect scores, which was of course before I got kids).

Those Good Old Times, when you could just sit on the sofa as long as you wanted... :D

Quoting: shorbergThere is also a similar issue within the Anglo-sphere, for instance with the common British word for a cigarette is a homonym [External Link] of a derogatory term for homosexuals in the USA.

Being curious, I translated the derogatory term to German, translated that to English to get a list and those back to German to find Eff Ay Gee. :)

Quoting: whizseI must admit, I chickened out and made a fresh install. Interestingly though, it there appears to be plans to make crossgrading an easier and supported upgrade path in Debian.

My install died some years later when I had an old entry in my X configuration file that nobody had ever tested again decades later. Still a bit sad, but I guess I would have missed improvements when I still had my 2000's system upgraded so many times. :D

Quoting: whizseRight, but can Windows do the i386 > amd64 transition? Debian can [External Link] :tongue:

(It's very much a work in progress, and not for the faint of heart, but it is possible.)

How I love having old stuff lurking somewhere on the disk. :D
I had my Debian up for some 10 years in 2010 and wanted to keep it, so this is how I've done it back then:

Quoting: aluminumgriffinNice, however I really wish they would keep mesa somewhat up to date without forcing one into a FrankenDebian, maybe start with yet another "distro sub-section" (akin to non-free) that is "gaming" with the note that it is a slight sacrifice of stability for the sake of more bleeding edge (would also be a good place to put things like fresh OBS).

(mesa in Debian/Stable is at 18.3.6 , the iris drivers (matters if you uses intel iGPU) became good quite a bit after that (in the 19.x series) - to make it all that much funnier debian stable ships with libdrm 2.4.97 (to build the 19.x mesa and later you need at least libdrm 2.4.100)
In Debian/Testing it is mesa 20.1.8 and libdrm 2.4.102 so it is a night-and-day difference in terms of performance you get in stable and testing)).

I'm surprised. For Nvidia, I get new enough drivers with buster-backports. It seems that's not the case with Mesa? Maybe too entangled with the rest of the system?

Quoting: kaimanThat said, back in 2002 Debian was the first major distribution to package and include the game I had been involved with, so it's not like they have been oblivious to this particular pastime until now.

Name it or it didn't happen! ;)
