Yeah, I've already played a bit and love it. But then XWVM caught my attention. Now I gotta switch it up.

This is frickin' awesome! It doesn't feel like alpha software at all, more like a beta. The Linux version froze a few times for me but the Windows version through Proton is super stable so far. Only bug I had with that was that mouse input stopped working once so I couldn't click anything.

It looks gorgeous with the HD assets. But you also have the option of using the old graphics. It plays just how I remember it. Though I did rebind the gamepad bindings to be closer to the Squadrons settings. That's how I play X-Wing Alliance as well.

Heroic can support EA games and other launchers by basically doing the same thing Lutris does. You just install the launcher with Proton and use that.

Heroic is better than Lutris for Epic, GOG and Amazon because it doesn't need their respective launchers or installers. It basically downloads just the game files without any intermediary archive, installer or launcher. So game installation is much faster. Heroic also supports game updates and cloud saves.

Heroic accomplishes that by using open source command line clients for the respective shops. I really wish Lutris would do the same. Would make it much better.

What makes Lutris better is that it supports even more stores and launchers and even emulators. It also has Steam integration. So it can contain all your games. Unfortunately it does not display all your available games in one combined library view, which makes finding uninstalled games much harder. But supposedly they are working on getting a combined view. No idea what's taking them so long.

Lutris used to give you more tools to configure Wine and other helpers, but Heroic is quickly catching up.

Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker

Probably too cliché, but he's just the best villain, the best conflicted Jedi and he's got the best redemption arch.

Due to Long Covid I can only lay in bed and most games are too intense for me. So I actually do watch let's plays.

I really like Welonz. She has a really nice mix of indies and big titles, regularly tries out a great variety of games. She is very thorough and while she might not find all the secrets she will go out of her way to show alternate endings and stuff. And she has an interesting voice, so rumor has it that she is actually a ten year old boy.

I've seen language switchers with translated language names that were sorted by the English name. So "Deutsch" was sorted under G.

Are people really still using Unity? I feel like all cases should be covered by Godot and Unreal.

Ja, direkt nach Covid. Mir ging es einfach nicht besser. Und alles Mögliche was "normal" war hat mich wieder zurückgeworfen. Wurde dann schleichend immer schlimmer, bis ich nur noch im Bett liegen konnte.

Allerdings bin ich der festen Überzeugung, dass ich das auch schon vorher in milder Form hatte. Immer wenn ich Sport gemacht hatte bin ich krank geworden. Mein beschissener Hausarzt konnte damit nur nichts anfangen, da ja alle Bluttests und ähnliches nichts gezeigt hatten. Leider kannte ich ME damals noch gar nicht.

Das blöde ist halt, dass es noch keine allgemein verbreiteten Tests gibt. Bisher wird das durch Ausschluss diagnostiziert. Die Symptome können auch auf Probleme mit dem Pankreas hindeuten. Das ist das erste, was untersucht wird. Kannst du ja auch versuchen.

Ansonsten beobachte das weiter. Pacing ist die einzige bekannte erfolgreiche Behandlungsmethode. Also mehr Pausen als sonst einlegen. Mit etwas Glück bleibt es bei Muskelkater.

Now I know why my brother kept that floppy with a virus on it.

Perfekt für Väter, um eine Massage zu bekommen.

I once got a token for a shopping cart when I just wanted the shopping cart and give the other guy the 50 cents I suspected in there. He told me that he had gotten the token as a gift himself and that I should pass it on when the time has come.

A few years later I gave it to someone who didn't have any coins with them.

And now I remember a story that should be more important. A complete stranger paid for our engagement rings.

I wanted to propose to my girlfriend with a very special ring. One from a gumball machine. Gumball machines have become rare enough. One with rings was almost impossible to find. I'd always take different routes to and from work and stuff to watch out for one.

So one day I finally found one. With rings besides other toys. It took 20 cent coins but I didn't have a single one on me. But I spied a woman walking along on the other side of the road. I sprinted to her end explained my conundrum. She had three coins. I offered a euro in return but she refused.

The three coins netted me five balls from the machine. I think it was broken and I could have gotten them without any coins. Anyways, in the five balls were three rings. I chose the one with the most beautiful stone for her and one without a stone for myself. I posed the question as soon as I arrived home.

Is Bazzite on Plasma 6.4 already?

I have a strange bug on my Steam Deck with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and I would like to know if it happens on other handhelds/distributions as well.

In Plasma Wayland 6.4 fullscreen windows shift up about half a screen when using gamepad input. They become normal again when I use mouse input. Happens with games as well as in VLC.

Edit: Can't take a screenshot of it, so here's a photo:

The Original Star Wars (according to my wife) is back!

 

Been looking for this for years. And yesterday I went through some old backups and finally found it and got enough keywords to find it on YouTube as well.

Some of the old videos are saved as flash files. And VLC played most of them like a champ!
