Yeah, I get the feeling they might be underestimating the amount of work required. Especially if they want to use something like GDScript. Sure, it’s just a wee hobby project but I hope that people on Reddit and Lemmy don’t harass them about not doing things fast or well enough… Don’t really see it going anywhere beyond being a learning experience for the author.
I’m not a game dev, I’m a web dev. I’ve never made anything more complicated game-wise than 2d fishing animation games
Well… At least the dev is honest about it being just for fun… I’ll give it 2 months before it’s a dead project. There is literally no way someone that has zero gamedev experience can remake a multi-million dollar game.
I wouldn’t say in the works, this is one person who’s a web developer posting on Reddit about an idea. In the works usually tells me they’re already working on the project, not trying to find people to help start it. GL to them I guess.
There are a lot of open-source game projects that have started over the years. Some have turned into fully-completed games, but they are very few. And those generally are not asset-heavy, which I suspect a League of Legends-style game will be.
This could make it, but I wouldn’t be placing money on it.
I think if I were gonna try and do that, I’d aim for making the game playable with what amounts to just about placeholder assets.
The engine side is the easier part. You’ve got a number of people who have done engine reimplementations of a number of commercial games that can play the original game using the original game’s assets. But getting a game with original assets is hard.
Perhaps if you LoL players want to see it succeed you could come together and create a fund to pay an actual professional to make the assets for the game.
Sounds like reddit. They started banning blocks of VPN IPs after they locked down their API (presumably to prevent screen scraping). If you really want to visit, proton stealth protocol is able to get through sometimes, and old.reddit seems to get through all of the time.

Because the shaming tone is just infuriating. Yes, new people have problems with the system, shaming them by telling them their problems are “baffling” is tone-deaf.
Worse, if you have to shame people into using your system, it sends the message that Linux has serious problems that people need to be shamed into accepting. Shaming people into changing their behaviour basically never works by the way, outside of maybe a very insular village setting.
A better title might be, “Solutions to newcomers’s most common problems with Linux”, but the way it’s always phrased is, “Hey all the problems are going away and you’re frankly a teensy tiny brained baby if you’re not using Linux!” Like, maybe fuck off. Maybe show people that the community is capable of advertising itself with literally anything besides toxicity.
I have been on-board with the mission of Linux and hearing this “Hey the switch is actually easy!” gaslighting bullshit for 15 years now. I still haven’t managed to get rid of Windows 100%, and I honestly don’t want to ask for help from literally any Linux fanboy because they have proven themselves to be amongst the most rabidly condescending shits I’ve ever spoken to.
A better title might be, “Solutions to newcomers’s most common problems with Linux”
The video is about the results of a survey regarding the problems people are having using Linux. Only 10% of them described themselves as beginners. That would not be a good title.
I personally see zero condescending tone in it. The video doesn’t prove to be toxic like you described either.
IMO this just isn’t a good community for this, because nobody clicks on a 20 minute video to figure out what it has to do with “Linux Gaming”. Plus YT links are almost always downvoted anyways. I agree that the title isn’t the best, because it fails to convey what the video actually contains.
not gaming related, just generally “linux” related
ad at the top of the summary
potentially condescending tone (baffled at users having problems), but more importantly, it’s click-baity - better title: survey results about issues linux users have
I didn’t down-vote, but I didn’t click it or upvote it because I wasn’t sure if it was relevant or not and I’m not interested in watching a video to find out. I can absolutely understand downvotes though.
If the title is dubious, leave a note in the description as to why I should watch it. Mentioning tge survey would be a great place to start.
New processor, better, brighter display, 120Hz display refresh, thermal improvements in cooling of processor and voltage regulation system, color-coded expansion modules to match bezel, high monitor resolution to avoid fractional scaling, better webcam, new expansion module for SD card storage, option for keyboard with “Super”-labeled key rather than Windows key.
For small-medium businesses, can ship with Windows 11 and provides longer warranty, scaled up support staff.
Neither of my two wishlist items, 100Wh battery or triple mechanical trackpad buttons, though.
Is the 61 watt hour battery new vs the 55? I’m not expecting 100 wh in a small 13" laptop, but 61 is an improvement. I’d really like to see at least 70 (like the 14" MBP) in something that size.
There are quality of life changes, mainly in the building, but overall it’s still the same game. Graphically though, it’s far superior, especially in terms of lighting.
I got the original really cheap so I didn’t feel too bad paying for a new version. What does piss me off though is that while they promised “all existing DLC maps” from the original will be free, they’re already releasing new paid DLC including dinos that are only available if you pay, in a still-early-access game before all the existing maps are released.
So while I enjoy the game, I can’t recommend it out of principle, especially to anyone who already owns Survival Evolved.
