  • Alright, trying it. I don’t use Flatpak for anything else because of updating, but Steam updates itself anyway so that shouldn’t be a factor.

    EDIT: I forgot dependencies are a bit rough (almost 2GiB total) because sandboxing, so that might’ve been a bigger factor before

    Re-installing worked, so I am not sure what happened with the dependency solver (hopefully this doesn’t happen again soon). Though I am almost to the point Steam wouldn’t be such a big loss especially if I can still play a few DRM-free games already downloaded.


  • Undiagnosed (aside from TTT at home) EDS/POTS here (mild), I biked enough to notice a difference but I didn’t hit the point where it aligned with this post (maybe because I don’t really sweat, stress on my body changes the effect?). Even with inactivity, muscle loss is not an issue for me.

    Though the biggest issue with cycling for me is that I don’t really have (m)any destinations, distance makes most trips not viable for what they are (particularly factoring in return trip) or add complication when it comes to hours or weather. Daylight savings ending combined with shorter days ruined it for me, too.


  • Dependencies for Steam

    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

    :: installing lib32-libjpeg-turbo (3.0.4-2) breaks dependency 'lib32-libjpeg' required by lib32-mjpegtools
    

    But in all honesty, I just can’t be bothered to fix it.

    My general tactic is to wait until things get fixed… has worked for many years, no longer it seems. Before this I also got bit by an nVidia/systemd issue (won’t always wake from suspend) that I did try to fix and updates didn’t help either so instead I just shut my computer down now. EDIT: This seems fixed now, too

    It also does not help that I have 6mb/s internet (shared with other people) thus cannot really update frequently (and thus not auto-update). This isn’t even my original install either, the re-install didn’t help as long as I hoped.

    I probably need to switch to something else, but packaging/updating always seems flawed. I tried Tumbleweed a while back, but was quickly annoyed by patterns and did not like the suggested work-around.

    TL;DR: It me









  • Yeah, I feel like the remakes lost some charm specifically when it comes to rendering tech (vertex colors, losing Spyro’s skyboxes feels like a crime). Particularly with the new data bloat.

    Also with the examples I'm not sure I like the new sounds

    (faster/higher-pitch… and they sound re-done? If they’re the same are they just better at very low sample rate?), looked it up and people were saying they didn’t like the mixing (new is more muted/subtle).

    That, and it seems re-makes don’t really fix core issues (Medievil’s remake).

    I think the original tech/limits can be taken further aesthetically for a different workflow (very general/sparse use of textures), especially in the modern era. Still undecided on some artistic/technical choices, but I have much more here than I do in the ways of (low-scope) starting project ideas that I like.

    not-very-polished

    The entire scene is low-poly with colors defined using the mesh itself,  also the image is optimized for color to reduce data, resulting in dithering patterns. In a gray room with black and white triangle tiles, there are 6 badgers of various sizes standing and facing the viewer. Similarly, there are 5 eyes floating in the air one of which is not fully opaque. There is 1 banana on the floor.

    Yes, because of the over-the-top “personally traveled” bit… and it’d likely end with DMCA.

    Though looking at just one list of Nintendo’s mass takedown of free fan-games, it seems very likely* it directly resulted in many children being terribly upset (and maybe thinking they’ll be sued/jailed)… even if they made their own assets, just because they included a trademarked term in the title/description for something they just wanted to share with their friends. (I’m sure many did use assets, but we are likely talking about decades-old material here)

    So it’s not that big of a stretch, it’s just not guaranteed that we’d hear this much about it.

    *= judging by FNAF/sonic crossovers, content/spelling of titles, creepypasta stuff, and likely terrible art if you can still find more than a URL
