Sparky , to linux in I managed to get neofetch running on the library pc
@Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Let me know what other software you’d like to see running on this thing…

windlas ,

If you haven’t run Doom on it, are you really even trying?

I’ll try that next time :)

I don’t know how hard it would be to set up proton without any administrator rights, but it might be interesting to try and run crysis 3 on it too.

thingsiplay ,

You could try to use Proton GE, which you just download, unpack and execute the proton executable in it. There are a few variables to set, but no administrator rights is needed. I wrote a little script years ago, which got a bit semi-viral (if we can call it that, but to me it was xD): proton script You need to read and adapt the parts, but at least you can see how this works. There is also a fork, who made an advanced version of it. I have no idea if these scripts work without Steam. But that is left as an exercise to the reader.

BTW its not really recommended to play non Steam games or apps with proton (because it could messup something on your Steam installation, but that is probably irrelevant on the library PC), but it worked for me for regular Windows applications. I did not need to install WINE for that and just used my Proton from Steam back then. Today I have no need for it anymore and don’t know how well this works.

Chef_Boyardee , to asklemmy in What is an event that altered you in some way?

Nothing yet, unfortunately. I’ve been in trouble so many times. I never learn.

I’m almost afraid to type this, but I think it’s gonna take a serious incident to change me.

I’m not violent, I’m not a thief, I’m not a pervert. I refuse to hurt, or put anyone at risk of being hurt. I just make dumb decisions that affect me.

moistclump ,

Me too and got my diagnosis which at least put those incidents into perspective and gave me help that would actually make a difference instead of just trying to judge myself into “being better” or “normal”.

cashmaggot OP ,

Y, every piece I get of the puzzle better helps understand why I couldn't just be a "good little girl" so to speak. Nothing is written in a language I totally get and I am just trying my best to squiggle my way through life as a whole. One big thing I can say though, is that if you don't understand certain things you can always ask for further clarification. Write everything down that's important, because it could be gone in the blink of an eye. And don't let people take the reigns of your health. Advocate for yourself, and know that you're just one of a billion folks they see so your meet ups are way more important to you than them. Even if they're big old bleeding heart types (which is rare because it's pretty counter the skeptical analytical process necessary to work in the medical field).

cashmaggot OP ,

If you find that you're having trouble always making "dumb" decisions you might want to get yourself checked out for ADHD. Because I myself have it, and medicated and unmediated isn't a SEA of difference, but it does help. Likewise, someone I know also has it and really harmed themselves with their impulse control. They kept pushing it further and further - until like you said. They're also medicated now, and while they still need to push it (I think it's hardwired) - their level of what pushing it is has come down dramatically.

GTA IV for the first time. I’m liking it so far

lunsjentilanette ,

Absolutely loved that game. Was so stoked for its release (i watched one of the trailers oh so many times in anticipation) and got it at launch (not very patient of me…) and was not let down at all.

technomad , to nostupidquestions in US regional accents: Saul Goodman and Michael Scott

Yeah, I can understand the relation you’re making there. They both have that upward inflection. Higher pitch. I don’t know if their accents would be considered the same because of these qualities though.

palebluethought , to nostupidquestions in US regional accents: Saul Goodman and Michael Scott

I don’t think of either of them as having any specific regional accent at all. I think they just have somewhat similar voices and mannerisms

Ghost of Tsushima - Took a while to click, but now I’m really enjoying it. Pulling off some of the sword moves perfectly feels so satisfying. And it’s gorgeous to look at.

And also Dave the Diver. Very charming game and it keeps adding more and more layers to the gameplay. The gameplay loop is really fun so far.

stsquad ,

I really enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima when it premiered on the PS5. As you say the satisfaction of pulling off the sword moves is really nice. The story isn’t bad either and some of the fight bosses certainly keep you on your toes. I brought the DLC expansion the day it came out just so I could spend some more time slashing away ;-)

I was wanting to play something ‘Assassin’s Creed-y’ and this has really fit the bill! I like how easily you can be killed.

Should I play the DLC content after I’ve beaten the main game? It looks like I can go to the additional island whenever I want.

sleepybisexual , to piracy in What do ya'll think of camming (filming newly released films)?

Well, its the thought that counts I guess

Swedneck , to nostupidquestions in Why does the urge to go to the bathroom increase when we get home?
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

presumably you instinctively know that you’re in a wholly safe place and there is no excuse not to do it anymore. We’re really not made to suppress elimination for a long time like that, in nature the only reason not to get the business done is because you gotta walk away from camp or because you’re chased by a lion, and neither of those tend to take a long time…

we should really be glad we’re at all able to hold it in as long as we do

does Fallout:London count for patient gamers? Fallout 4 is old, but the mod itself is new. That mod has consumed all my gaming hours so far.

mcforest ,

I guess we play old games partially because we wait for mods to release? So we shouldn’t have to wait for the mods to be old?

simple ,

I’ve been wanting to try it, how is it? Is it closer to Fallout 4 or Fallout 3/New Vegas?

Malix ,
@Malix@sopuli.xyz avatar

it’s been multiple eternities since I’ve played 3 or NV. 4 I’ve played more recently, but that was … basically when the last dlc dropped? So… memory of those games not really the sharpest.

London is mechanically almost identical to 4 (duh? because mod, duh.). The parts of the main-story I’ve done has been great. I recall preferring side and dlc missions over main-plot in 4, but I was pretty into the main stuff (dlc or not) in NV.

some thoughts about it in no specific order:

  • I’m around 20 hours in, and it feels like I’ve only started. Plenty of map markers opened, but VERY little of actual land area explored.
  • there seems to be less emphasis on settlements, haven’t had a permanent residence (storage, bed) so far, been storing my junk in some friendly town crafting stations which don’t seem to de-spawn stored stuff (as tipped in the mod’s discord).
  • but settlements are apparently still a thing (not sure how I feel about it, they were the worst part in 4, imo) - haven’t aquired a settlement yet.
  • it’s bit more difficult than 4, ammo is a bit scarce and some enemies are ridiculously tanky, even at normal difficulty.
  • the early game can be a bit brutal, but eases off as you get levels (ref: at ~10-15h or so in, I was finally able to take enemies down with confidence)
  • The city is HUGE and dense (requires some more grunt from the computer than base-game), there’s things to do and see in every corner, a lot more buildings to enter.
  • “level design” is mostly great, but there have been places where the route forward/mission critical progression item was hidden by all the clutter and generally darker lighting.
  • the level design also contains surprisingly deep puddles here and there on the streets, and those build up radiation QUICKLY. Bodies of water in this game are dangerous.
  • Food and other non-stimpacks seem to be in quite a big role, at least in early game. IIRC fallout 3/nv/4 basically showered the player with stimpacks.
  • Voice acting is pretty good, if a bit hammy at times.

I recall enjoying all fallout games, some more than others. I mostly mod for convinience (eg. busywork, carryweight) so I’m not really playing the game(s) as intended. And this one is great… if a bit buggy here and there - but not any more so than actual Fallout games. :D

I totally recommend London, but it comes with an asterisk: the mod requires tweaking, and depending on your computer-skills it can be either “man, this is obvious” to “wtf am I doing”. Config-file editing and extra mods are required to get it actually working. Def recommending Mod Organizer 2 as well. Also, if your base fallout 4 (and dlc) are from steam, you need to downgrade from the “Next gen update”. I’m fairly sure there’s good step-by-step how-to’s to get it set up at this point.

but settlements are apparently still a thing

Bizarre choice lol, but everything else sounds good. Thanks for the rundown.
