Silksong is the Bloodborne to Hollow Knight’s Dark Souls and I will not be elaborating

dead money really freaked me out. good dlc.

what you should do: delete that file and then listen to onlooker’s advice about using apt to install software when you can

what is happening: an arbitrary file you create to hold the contents of some data you streamed off the internet, for very good reason, is not automatically treated as an executable, partly because for all wget knows, it’s just a photograph or some text. to mark a file as executable, you need to run chmod +x /path/to/script/file to add to the file’s permissions. to learn more, and you should, please learn about file permissions and how those work on linux systems.

it’s a very long watch, but i recommend the recent people make games update documentary. there’s nothing left of disco elysium at za/um but the IP rights, and one asshole capitalist.

it’s a good day to have most of my favorites from them on physical media already.

i love this game so much. i have an ungodly amount of time in it and i’ve still never seen this dialogue before.

two important things here: they did quite a bit to masquerade as a secular action group and not a religious moralist group; it is actually quite unclear from anything i can find why exactly the payment processors caved so easily. its actual clients, itch.io and steam, dispute the claim that the listed games constitute illegal content. i’m not sure what exactly convinced them to side with this group. their website does not seem to lay out any particular action they’re inciting like mass call-ins to the company headquarters or something annoying like that.

my understanding is that this actually originates with an Australian christian group. their tactic consists of 1) targeting payment processors as a means of “going over the heads” of vendors so to speak and 2) start with content that most ordinary people would agree is objectionable (we’re talking real CW i don’t want to type that out stuff) and then 3) hope that lets you expand to much broader cultural censorship of much more popular media.

always papered over with “protecting kids” of course. these are the kinds of people that would say they’re performing the Holocaust on behalf of the kids.

is this a children’s card game?

no. yugioh is like that because of decades of strange and bad design decisions from Bandai-Namco. they don’t want to do keywords, so you have a wall of text. they don’t want to have a rotating standard, so they have a banlist that’s a mile long. there’s also several instances of them making cards that don’t actually work by the rules of the game. i like card games, i appreciate the different design decisions of the basic game of yu-gi-oh, but my god do the actual design decisions of cards themselves have flaws. it’s not a good game to pick up casually. just on the basis of card availability and price for meta decks, pokemon is by far the most accessible card game in paper right now.

jamie stewart’s interview with melonboy was quite good.

treatment of yamato online legitimately says a lot about a person

Stardew valley will run on a toaster

looking at the code for btop it appears to just grab this information about memory usage out of /proc/meminfo directly, which you can cat yourself to look at. so if it’s wrong, it seems likely that it’s wrong because meminfo is mistaken in some way.

admitting that is pretty embarassing

fitness is probably my favorite track off this. love the little clip at the end of the guy describing posing.

they say nonbinary genders don’t exist and then they do whatever this is

oh i’m stealing that, incredibly succinct.

playing skate 3 rn on emulated ps3, what a blast.

And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

moment

yeah, i appreciated how different it was. another great environmental detail showing the stark difference in their character.

my favorite detail of the game that i’ve seen basically no one talk about is that every single page of arthur’s journal is handwritten by someone, in a quite consistent and uncommon font. if you look carefully, you’ll notice that no appearance of any particular letter is ever quite the same.
