What? Surely seeing something popping up on steam and buying it happens far more than someone spontaneously buying a game in a store when walking around town/ a mall.

Maybe I’m a recluse, but I can’t remember last time I went into a store that stocks a meaningful amount of games other than second hand shops. Are physical games really that large of a margin anymore?

Yes. Pedantically (as if this is a real language to begin with) it would be “Trick AND NOT Treat”.

One of my favorite Let’s Play games. I tried to play it myself for 5 minutes before hard noping out. I’ve become a bit braver since my teens, so maybe I should give it a shot myself some day.

But it’s amazing to see just how far you can push HL’s engine.

I’m not a massive fan of the lean mechanic. I haven’t played the game, but it usually just either slows down the game or it becomes an obligation to continuously wiggle back and forth. Maybe if something like csgo’s jump/duck penalty was in place to make repeated actions slow you down instead.

No you see some infinites are bigger than other. So light year is basically a larger infinity than millions. There’s a YouTube video about, look it up 👍

/s (you never know these days)

I don’t know what anti perspirants you’ve been using, but Rituals ones don’t stain or leave residue on any of my clothes.

Oh you’re right! That’s an embarrassing mistake to make. I never got the stealth suit from Old World Blues.

If I recall it’s from the “China invades Alska simulator” one. Can’t remember the name if it. Probably a good sign I need to go replay new Vegas!

Its the publisher. Caught me out at first as well :)

Yeah the issue is I wouldn’t want to compromise quality too much. But I might just start saving up now for whatever valve is cooking up next :) Another issue with using a quest is that you have to run the occulus app (when wired), eating up some of that sweet precious VRAM.

I got a Quest 3 that I use with a USB-c cable. Price is great but having to fiddle around with video compression settings on top of all other VR settings has proven to be a bit tedious. I’m still trying to figure out what pcvr headset to go for that won’t complete drain my bank account (there’s probably tons of used ones out there).

Glad to hear VR is possible and getting better on Linux though!

Oh what’s your Linux setup for VR? I thought it was very janky still? Once I get my storage server set up I was planing on moving fully to windows except for a small drive for VR titlea.

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant :D

Please correct my layman understanding if I’m wring here. But isn’t everything traveling in a straight line until an external force is applied. For example the earth orbiting the sun is traveling in a straight line in a curved apacetime. Also if you jump, the moment you leave the ground until you touch it again coming back down you were traveling in a straight line.

And then you realise your dumb endless ls-ing has pushed the command off the history list

Memory manipulation is very much hacking. Pretty much the form of computer hacking.

Thanks for asking, made me go look again. I had mixed up Lemmy.world owner Ruud and the creator of Lemmy itself and admin of lemmy.ml. Ruud seems chill, lemmy.ml less so.

There’s a bit of choice paralasys when joining Lemmy. Even if you know how the fediverse works you won’t have knowledge of the culture and relationships of different instances.

I joined Lemmy.world because it advertises itself as the vanilla flavour of the fediverse, so it makes it an easy pick for someone like me who didn’t quite understand how it all hangs together.

But I do agree with you, and I’m looking to migrate after some concerning things have come up about the lemmy.world owner.

Edit: confused the owner of lemmy.world and lemmy.ml.
