Quoting: g000h

Quoting: AndrewDon't fucking use Epic, I had all sorts of games and skins and shit on Epic and there games. But I got hacked and there not FUCKING HELP! I lost everything, Stick with steam at least they will help. Linux will run Steam, Please stay away from Epic!

I feel your pain, but at the same time Epic practically forces you to use OTP (two-factor authentication) to login so I'm curious how you managed to get 'hacked' with this 2FA in place?

Also, hacking generally occurs because the user's PC is compromised, e.g. a Remote Access Trojan stealing your session login cookies, or like the recent CPU-Z exploit - Stealing Chrome Browser credentials after a person has installed malware-infected software.

Otp's get phished just as easily as passwords nowadays. Their only advantage is that they can protect against a simple "(educated) guess the password" attack.

Quoting: TcheyI'm stuck on my 2015 idea, having a hard time to see anything else.

... But all my already little support for the company is gone now.

Gentle reminder that the original company that made those decisions (uber entertainment inc./star theory games) hasn't been involved with planetary annihilation since 2018 and ended its existence in 2020 after its contract to develop kerbal 2 was cancelled.

EE-like zoom is now available in all games, just set “Zoom Lock” to 0 in the gem-*.ini file in your game folder.

Single most important feature added here, imo. One of those small quality of life things that make a huge difference.

Quoting: KuduzkehpanDidnt DORF Rts pixel art ? ...

Always gathered that it was pre-rendered. That allows them to get in those advanced lighting tricks in spite of the 2d assets.

Quoting: GustyGhostI've been playing Linux native games (Unity, no less) that I had bought ten years ago without any issue. What is there left to improve?

Apparently, the quality of unity's opengl and vulkan support.

Not sure if I am imagining things, but to me the dragon quest hd-2d games feel more like sprites plopped in 3d worlds rather than the pop-up 2d world aesthetics of octopath.

I'm all for making game development easier and accessible - but at what cost.

Chucking in a slopper does nothing to make development easier and accessible.

Quoting: BrokattGraham did say that while they felt Snap actually works "better than Flatpak in some ways"

Controversial opinion. I hope his mailbox is all right...

Jokes aside, I'm glad things are moving along for KDE Linux. It's not something I'm personally interested in, but I imagine it's great for KDE devs. Hopefully it's something one could recommend for those who are KDE curios (Kurious?). Maybe we'll even get to see some devices with it pre-installed in the future?

"In some ways" being the operative phrase here.

Snaps have had their chance to leave a good impression, and canonical messed that up by shoving them into ubuntu lts's when they weren't ready.

"At this time, we won't be able to comment publicly on our internal processes or tools. However, we’re aware of the conversations happening around this topic and the assumptions that can go with it."

Communications like that will work wonders on "assumptions", I am sure.

Hope it doesn't sour them from officially supporting linux distro's.

Guess that the lesson to be learned is that one shouldn't be too quick to jump on a new distro's bandwagon.

On a completely unrelated sidenote, I am hearing good things about opensuse tumbleweed on gpdwin devices.
