PieFed communicates with Lemmy. Same content, different platform. That’s one awesome thing about federation.
There is also mbin (fork of kbin), and Sublinks, which is API compatible with Lemmy so should be able to use Lemmy apps with it (from memory, this is what Beehaw are hoping to move to).
Oh I didn’t realise you could download the APK.
I got the email (a few days after registering) and it said the Android app was shipping soon. I see now you can download the APK from their help section.
Exactly. Not the over a million that it looks like at a glance.
The user count isn’t helpful anyway, active users is a much better measure.
That graph is so misleading. Makes it look like almost all the users disappeared but the Y axis only covers a small range at the top.
It said it was free to download and use but a convenience charge for getting it on Steam.
But like you, I’m also happy with Heroic, and there’s also Lutris.
I normally play games on quite a lag. I don’t have much free time, and there are lots of good games. I basically never buy games that aren’t 75% off or more.
But when I saw Baldur’s Gate 3 was on GOG, I bought it straight away, as it had great reviews, it’s full price seemed very reasonable, and if AAA publishers are putting recent games on GOG I want to support that.
I hope it’s not coming up soon as I haven’t made much progress!
It’s 1996 and we have plans for a new telescope game!
2021: finally launches
OK maybe the software industry already operates like NASA.
The Steam page just says Windows. ProtonDB has no reports.
However, there is a demo, so maybe someone can try it.
I do see Lemmy.world admins take quick action when it’s raised to then. However, Lemmy does not differentiate between community and admin reports, so using the normal report function may not be enough. Lemmy.world has a separate process for when an admin needs to be contacted.
I have seen that issues raised on Lemmy.blahaj.zone get raised directly from their admin to to lemmy.world admins, and then there is swift action. Another reason blahaj is a good instance for someone who is gender diverse, the admin doesn’t hesitate to go in to bat for their members
It’s worth noting that instances can defederate from other instances and also remove specific content even if it comes from users on other instances. Instances can also ban users on other instances from their instance.
Using an instance like lemmy.blahaj.zone is likely to be a very different (and much more supportive) experience, even if they are federated with the same instances, due to the ability for admins to curate.
Hmm I guess “cozy” games are a genre, but I kinda felt like they are games that make you feel cozy, fun without the stress. If a game sucks then I don’t know I’d consider it “cozy”.
I’ll put up with it but has their ever been a person who wanted the document to open as a modal window inside Teams where you can’t even go back to the chat of the person who sent it without closing it?
So you have to open in browser and then open the browser version in desktop.
I don’t really hate Teams but that really triggers me. Otherwise I feel like Teams and I have a lot in common (like the whole tried to do too much and so does nothing well thing).
Oh I hadn’t realised it had! I’ll have to make sure I update before I play again.
The release notes seem to cover lots of specific crashes, but I’d guess my issue is more generally that if it’s trying to shoe too much stuff on the screen (like a crowded city) then it crashes. I have turned the graphics settings right down and it happens less, but still happens at least once each time I play. I’m keen to check out that patch and see if it helps. Thanks for letting me know about it!
I don’t think anyone has been active in it for a while 😆. Would be a good place for it though as there are still lots of eyes on the room even if no one is chatting.
Queries, I do have some, but they’re ugly AF. lol. I should prob look into starting a Matrix room or admin community where we can share and improve each others’ utility scripts.
That’s pretty much the official Lemmy space’s Moderation tools room, right?
Two issues here: Issue one, BG3 itself crashes all the time. This most likely isn’t linux related, because it’s been rock solid up to Act 3 and everyone across all platforms complains about all the crashing in Act 3. Solution - quick save all the time.
Issue two, sometimes Steam Remote Play will disconnect from the game. The game continues to play on the remote PC but the connection is lost, and it won’t let me reconnect (which is something Steam normally lets you do, but this might be because it’s a non-steam game).
Your info on wifi networks to prevent the connection dropping has definitely been relevant and helpful!
Wow thanks for all the info!
Another thought of mine is that wireless devices can perform poorly if they are too close to the AP. (Like less than a meter)
Huh, I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’m pretty close! I’ll try moving it a bit further away.
Mesh networks can perform poorly for applications that are sensitive to latency and jitter. (Such as steam’s remote play)
Last night it was much more stable, I didn’t have any Steam dropouts (only the BG3 crashes which seem pretty common in Act 3 after having none until then, and I’m not the only one). But I do have the option to create a separate non-mesh network from the AP if I need to. If I have further trouble I’ll give that a go.
It’s possible that some of those are related. My assumption is that there’s interference from your own devices and the neighbours. But a mesh network isn’t an ideal environment.
When I changed the channel, the whole lot came with it, hence my assumption.
I have the ISP router and two AmpliFi mesh access points to provide the wifi. The ISP router also has a wifi network, this is the 2.4Ghz one for the IoT devices.
When I try to change the channel for the access points, I don’t get the option for channel 106. I only get the option for 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157, 161.
I also noticed that I had missed that there’s a little button in the wifi scanning app to toggle between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I noticed if I change the channel, a whole bunch of hidden networks come with it. I think this must be related to the mesh network, it’s a lot of networks though! 8 or 9 of them, two separate ones with the same network name (I presume the two access points), and the rest all marked as hidden.
In the app, what does the width of the bar represent? It says something like Wifi_Network 157 (155) and has a big flat top that seems to cover a range. Is that indicating that nearby channels can interfere with each other?
Pretty sure the user experience folk are screaming for a path to be built there but are getting ignored.
