Hell, Lutris can even set up the original 1989 Sim City for you. Seeing that game on modern display sizes and resolutions is quite something
Ah, PC Gaming Wiki, what a fantastic resource. Made realize how many games in my libraries are actually DRM-free
I'd love for some big regulatory body forcing them to word it better and more clearly.
Fair point, you have to check what makes the most sense for you. Good example would be stuff like 3D rendering, where modern hardware would be several times as fast as my current PC, while using the same amount of power, or even less
This is where the Heroic Games Launcher comes in, it only downloads the game itself, no Epic Games Launcher to be seen
I do like the mechanic though. Really forces you to adapt your playstyle. Some enemies are slow enough for it to not matter, and then with others it might actually be better to take some armor off, so you can dodge their attacks better.
Enotria: The Last Song, it's a soulslike set in colourful Italy, basically. Has some interesting mechanics for how builds and loadouts work.
Though I wasn't able to play through the entire demo because I'm starved for video memory
Yeah, I don't remember there being any pointers about equip load. On one hand it makes perfect sense, put heavy armor on and you're slower. But on the other hand, it's a video game, so many players wouldn't expect it and then spend hours trying to figure out why their controller rumbles when they roll
The first Dark Souls is pretty clunky compared to modern games though, to be fair
Yeah. And I bet most, if not all of them would've been a lot happier with that feature. It makes things so much easier, so much more flexible.
It's 2024 and GIMP will only now be getting the ability to do non-destructive editing through adjustment layers. It has been fine for many simple tasks, but for anything that's more complex than a Lemmy shitpost, it's been rough for that reason alone
It's definitely more convoluted, but uBlock Origin can also selectively block pretty much anything, really. That being said, whatever tool you use, blocking any third party stuff per default is always a good start, to see how well any given site can work without it. Tells you a lot already
I think it's fair to say that schoolwork just outpaces attention span and focus at some point. Many people do well in their first years, and the struggles often only manifest themselves when more and more subjects get added, each with higher workloads than before.
Makes a lot of sense, but some people just cling to the but you did so well in elementary school thing
I had one big problem with VLC, in that it could not figure out which of my monitors I wanted the video to run fullscreen on. That was infuriating to the point I switched to MPV, and I'm very happy with it
As much as I hate him, a large majority of the games that are given away on that platform are fully DRM-free, and that's pretty damn cool
One of those times where it sounded perfectly correct in my head, whoops
Alt text:
The image shows a still from the movie Inglorious Basterds, framing the character Hugo Stieglitz looking absolutely annoyed and fed up with the game of Who Am I? that is being played. His head is replaced with that of a goldfinch, which in Germany is commonly known as the Stieglitz, and he has a card on his forehead that says Marco Polo
I'm currently trying to get Transistor to run. EndeavourOS, Nvidia gpu, and I have the Windows version that was free on Epic that one time, so ideally I'd like to run it through Heroic.
According to PCGamingWiki, it can be run DRM-free with the -AUTH_LOGIN=unused launch option, so that's what I'd like to do.
EDIT: I want to be able to sideload the game files
Looking on ProtonDB, people mainly suggest setting the compability to Windows XP, and it seems to run best with Proton Experimental. One report mentions adding it to Steam to launch it there, but it's all the same for me:
Quick blackscreen with the game trying to launch, and then it crashes back to desktop.
Did anyone get it to run recently? Any other ideas I might've missed?
So you know how sometimes your brain remembers a post you saw and doesn't let you rest until you've found it again?
Well, a few days ago I looked through wlw/lesbian/sapphic memes, and there was this one cute drawing of a strong, tall woman in the first panel going sth like:
Hey, look what I can do!, as she crushes a watermelon with her thighs.
The other woman, seen in the next panel, just stands there, frozen in place, being all😳, with watermelon squirting in her face.
This image tickled my brain the right way, and I need it back🙈
Can you help me? I'm offering to put you between my strong thighs as a reward.

Jokes aside though, while I'm struggling to find therapists for an official diagnosis (which I need for hrt to happen) I unexpectedly got an appointment with an endocrinologist already.
While that won't get me anywhere in the foreseeable future, it's still nice to have this first talk, and get all the important things out of the way ahead of time.
So, what are some important infos I should give them?
- Medical history: Past illnesses and diagnoses, known allergies, medication I take
- My personal goals, what I wish to achieve
- How does my current day to day life look in terms of physical fitness and mental health
And what are some important questions I should ask them?
- Potential risks and side effects
- Does any of the info I gave them conflict with hrt
- What changes can I expect, and how quickly
- How often should I have follow-up appointments for which purpose, either twith them or with my GP
- Where do I go to freeze some of my genderfluid, in case I want to have biological children one day
- How would a change in calorie intake affect the changes hrt introduces (primarily in terms of fat gain)
- Are there any lifestyle changes I should make to ensure everything will go as smoothly as possible
- What support resources are available for further questions that may go beyond endocrinology expertise
Do any of you lovely ladies have anything to add? I want to make the most out of this first appointment even if it won't make the whole process go forward by much.
At least everything will be taken care of by the time I'm officially allowed to take E.
So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don't quite understand why.

But anyhow, you've probably found me because you've seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments
I'm open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix
