Is there some secret to running it? Almost every time the game just refuses to start if I add the launch option

Guacomelee should get more love, it’s a really stylish game and there is even coop if you want to play together with someone.

It can do “not giving money to Microsoft” at least, so just for that I’m curious

Like gamepass, but tooth

Only the Chinese emulation handhelds have such form factors now, too bad there are no games made specifically for such devices, so you just have old games and phone games

There was also a Babylon 5 mod for Free Space 2

It’s playable with a controller, seems like some things are much harder with it though, and the cursor is stuck at specific distance from you, but you can still have fun, I’ve played a few hours without a mouse and it was enjoyable

Check Ultimate Spider-man as well, although you can also try getting a PC version from abandonware sites and modding it for better experience. For me it felt like a better Spider-man 2, swinging is a bit different but style and story are unmatched.

Jak and Daxter are better played via OpenGoal - a modern open source engine implementation that runs natively on Steam Deck and includes fixes, graphics improvements, proper widescreen, etc.

Graphics don’t matter as much as the quality of interactions. I had to get used to my real life hands after playing Superhot VR for too long for example.

Makes you remember that your brain is piloting a meat mecha basically, and all the sensations of what is real come from different sensors around the body connected by electrical wires (nerves), and some parts constantly need calibration.

No, I think if something can be done to allow more people to enjoy the game, then it should not be considered a bad thing to do it. You can not make it accessible to everyone in the world, but if there are time and resources to add accessibility, it should not be neglected.

And I don’t agree with the use of artistic intent as an excuse to not include specific accessibility options: take closed captions for example, they are made to allow deaf and hard of hearing people enjoy the content even when they can’t hear the sound. A lot of media is built on sound being a cornerstone of the experience, and people who will use closed captions will have no notion of it, but does it mean that they should be excluded completely?

Just because people who use the accessibility options will not experience everything in a way the author intended does not mean they should not be experience it at all, and in this day no one really complains about game including captions or colourblind options, but anything that might affect difficulty is, for some reason, out of the question and is only subject to the artist’s vision of it.

Easy mode is not fake accessibility. Celeste has the correct idea in allowing players adjust the difficulty for accessibility purposes. Not everyone has the same reaction speed, same cognitive abilities, same eyesight. There are people who can only use one hand and that automatically makes reacting to attacks many times harder, should they be excluded from being able to enjoy the game because they are not physically capable enough for the boss fights? And boss fights are probably 5% of the game anyway!

Doesn’t llama.cpp have a -hf flag to download models from huggingface instead of doing it manually?

The question is not just the license, it’s the copyright notice at the top of each file that has information on who authored the file and when, retroarch removed the information and replaced with their own, you are not allowed to do this under gpl

Retroarch also uses his code illegally, they copied the code and removed his copyright info from it. That’s a big part of his beef.

I wish I lived somewhere with awesome vegan options like this…

Is it a norm for the government to just go on a paid vacation when an uncomfortable question arises?

AI at least has its uses and can do something (not always well, but it can be helpful 1/10 times). Blockchain mania was insane though.

It was like “Why don’t we incorporate a retina scanner into our TV remote”

Mint is better IMHO, it’s based on Ubuntu which is in turn based on Debian, but includes quality of life improvements and newer packages. Debian is nice for servers, but I would get something that is stable but still has faster updates for my desktop

I remember seeing a version of snake that runs on a car dashboard as an easter egg (like, literal dashboard, tiny screen where the gas milage is shown)
