they’d be mad about the lack of shielding, which COULD result in noise from interference. it won’t, but audiophiles love ignoring real-world measurements in favor of theoretical ones.

yeah it’ll probably be easier to stylize a comparatively modern engine than it would be to deliver a modern feel with an old one.

thanks for the advice! ^^

this is a good theory!

i wanna make a slop farming simulator game on ue2 or some shit, but finding old dev resources is a unique challenge. maybe i’m just looking in the wrong places.

i swear as soon as they stopped releasing new unreal tournaments the engine itself started getting more bloated and unoptimized with every new version.

alright.

well you could be getting better performance on both! hahah

late reply but, i bought a deck on launch! stuff has gotten a lot easier, but you still need tweaks to get full performance.

at the very least you need to know how to use launch options and navigate protondb, which i have specifically been told is a bridge too far for some folks.

i think within the decade it may very well be truely plug and play. valve is doing some serious heavy lifting for gaming on linux.

launch tweaks, protonup-qt, decky plugins, the list goes on. there’s a number of things you need to understand before you can have a truely seamless experience on steamos in the same way you can on a bespoke console.

as much as i appreciate the convenience, it’s far from 1:1

sometimes you can do this just by existing and being a good friend! people can be weird.

yeah the flesh of your genits is some of the stretchiest stuff you have on you. it’s like one week of uncomfortable wanks when you’re a teenager and then you’re set for life.

that would make sense, right?

this you?

this is a lot of semantics over an absurdly minor point, comparatively

they’re terrified people might learn something from this.

idk if discord pushes server creation or if people are just real eager to moderate a space, but i cannot stand that seemingly every single one of my discord contacts has their own server with like 5-10 people, and that’s the only way they ever wanna chat.

like “yeah let’s play helldivers, pop in my discord so you can also listen to 3 people you don’t know who aren’t playing.”

maybe i’m just old.

yeah, but folks who are already bought into traditional social media aren’t making that same assessment.

why would anyone pay for streaming when you can get it all for free? i certainly don’t get it, but streaming services are wildly successful nonetheless.

when the workaround is changing a word vs signing up on and learning how to use a whole new website?

yes

after finding a keyboard that supports simultaneous double swiping, i CANNOT go back. i casually hit 100+ wpm on this fucken thing.
