Heads up: once in a blue moon it’s on “sale” for free on Epic Games.

(Ask me how I know.)

Ah, yes. I keep hearing more and more of people buying merchandise through TikTok among some other seemingly app-only interfaces.

I miss “old internet” :(

I bought a VR headset solely to play VTOL VR; worth it!

I often decide I don’t actually need what I was about to purchase when I run into this, and I close out the browser tab and move on.

…I guess in some weird way, the poor experience benefits me!

I was confused when I saw that it was discontinued. I bought several in 2015 and still have them.

I’m far more efficient with AI tools as a programmer. I love it! 🤷‍♂️

I was looking for this comment. This is it—not AI.

Do you succumb to the urge to stop the microwave a few seconds before it actually stops ? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I time it right so that I can run towards the microwave “in slow motion” and pretend I’m stopping a bomb from going off, 1 second before it blows. My kid loves it. 🤷‍♂️

Toyota? Buddy, that’s not a “pickup truck.” That’s a street legal war machine! A technical!!! 😎

Very positively surprised by how seamless the switch from Windows was in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

What games are you playing and what hardware are you running?

Linux has come a long way regarding the ability to easily play games made to run on Windows. It’s never been so easy and well performing. However, in my experience, it’s not quite “just works” yet. Yes, some Windows games will “just work,” but for now that’s still the exception to the rule in my experience.

I use Arch btw, with a i9-9900 and an Nvidia RTX 2070. I still have to tweak settings, research what others are tweaking, I have a few hours of research and tinkering invested into stopping up close jitters in VR(still unresolved), my graphic settings have to be lower than normal for decent performance and I do not enjoy the same frames I’ve enjoyed on Windows with this same machine.

I could probably get some better performance squeezed out of these games, but it’s going to cost me time and tinkering.

tl;dr I don’t think we’re in “just works” territory yet, but we’re getting closer and the progress over the recent years has been amazing. I can’t wait to be rid of Windows forever.

Beyond All Reason (The modern Total Annihilation you've always wanted.) (programming.dev)
 

https://www.beyondallreason.info/

Beyond All Reason is a free and open source RTS that looks exactly how a modern Total Annihilation should.

I grew up playing Total Annihilation as a kid, so it’s great to be able to enjoy it like this as an adult, decades later. Supreme Commander also gave me a lot of fun gameplay, but this feels exactly like classic Total Annihilation. I haven’t been able to put it down.

10/10, I had to spread the word. These developers have created something beautiful (and that’s a compliment to the original developers also!). Enjoy!

Voyager (a lemmy app) just hit 1.0 (github.com)
 

Voyager, aka ‘wefwef.app’, just hit 1.0

This is a project that makes me really interested in what I can do with a PWA.

(It’s an Apollo-esque (an iOS app for Reddit) progressive web app for Lemmy, and it kicks ass so far.)

OrbStack: a Docker Desktop alternative for MacOS (docs.orbstack.dev)
 

OrbStack is a fast, light, and simple way to run Docker containers and Linux machines on macOS. You can think of it as a supercharged WSL and Docker Desktop alternative, all in one easy-to-use app.

I just caught wind of this and have yet to try it. Does anyone here have any experience with OrbStack that they can speak to? 👀
