Ulrich, do gaming w Why there are few native Linux games compared to Windows or even Mac?

Does the existence of Wine compatibility layer discourages the creation of native Linux games?

I’d be surprised if devs weren’t ignoring Linux games in favor of just using Proton. It greatly decreases the required time and effort.

LukeZaz,

This absolutely happens. Team Fortress 2 Classic dropped Linux support outright a few years ago in favor of Proton support since it’s easier on the devs to do, and even as an avid Linux user I don’t blame them.

Because in some cases developers cannot be bothered to click a single button to make it natively run on linux.

Kichae,

It’s not about compiling, it’s about testing and support. Each officially supported version needs to be tested - which means having yet another set of test systems sitting around - and supported by the support team. And not only is Linux a splintered market in its own right, making testing and support a significant operation, but there isn’t the same kind of single-point OS support that you get from Microsoft and Apple.

With 1tb nvme boot drive. I can generally re-get a game at any time, but i dont feel like redownloading just because the OS is fucked.

brisk,

With that set up you could install Ark twice!

ech,

Lol

levzzz,

I’ve already filled up around 1.5tb on my 2tb nvme ssd

ech,

Hah, yeah. I’m pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!

qarbone, (edited ) do games w Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread

I don’t understand why we let Civ get away with amputating gameplay from the end-of-lifecycle previous game to repackage as new DLC again? If they hit upon great ideas in an expansion, why is that not folded into the core product like most decent games do with sequels?

They started with a triangle for 6, slowly carved it down to a semi-smooth, functional circle, then turned around for 7 and said “how about a cube this time?” Stop reinventing the wheel and finish refining it.

Honestly, the development mirrors my playthroughs of 4Xs: start with something funky and a lil different, struggle to make it work, and then restart when I’m close to done.

Who else wishes there was more semi-attractive PC cases with an 5.25" bay? I have ripped many CDs and Blurays with my optical drive

@dRLY@lemmy.ml avatar

For real. Given how many of the “attractive” cases are becoming very modular/config swappable, It would be cool to see even an add-on option for them that allows changing the faceplate and mount points for a 5.24in bay. Not expecting to see all the “fish tank” cases do this, but some could make it work. Maybe ones that are wide dual chamber ones with metal plate space could have a vertical option.

LunarLoony, do games w Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?
@LunarLoony@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

This just reminds me of the mod situation for early versions of Minecraft. These days it’s as simple as pressing a button and dropping your mods into a folder, but back then it was a case of directly modifying the main Java file, removing specific bits, adding specific bits in specific places… not smooth at all

MITM0, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Can we not let “politics” infect this community please ?

That being said, Wolfenstein: the new colossus is the one I reccommend

Probius,

I don’t think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

What were Nazis then ??

Just pointing out something that, certain Communities should avoid political talk wholesale (Not that I would call those punks politically savvy)

There’s a community dedicated to that There’s a reason why you all came to Lemmy

Freefall,

Won’t anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol

FilthyHookerSpit,

I’m literally thinking of different ways to kill Nazis…in minecraft

Goodmorningsunshine,

Love me some interrobang

Probius,

Interrobangs always make it look like the text renderer is bugging out.

bstix,

The Nazi ideologi is a dictatorship. Dictatorships aren’t political. The word political in it’s most basic form means “making decisions in a group”. A dictatorship doesn’t do that. They do participate in democratic politics only because that is the existing system and they want to dismantle that.

“Fight the Nazis” could be a political statement, because it happens within a political system and urges the system to take action politically, but it is not a statement that picks a political side. Both extreme left and extreme right politics should be against Nazis, because Nazis want to destroy all politics, including both sides and everything in between.

So, sure, its a political statement, but it’s not a statement that can upset anyone politically.

The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.

MITM0, (edited )
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

So… you’re calling me a Nazi ? Now I get why people want to stay away from politics

While no one disagrees with hating on Nazis, Behaving like one won’t gain you any internet points

Most of us here on lemmy want to escape from all those “Political Hobbyists” infecting everything & talk about non-political stuff safely There’s an entire community dedicated to political talks

Katana314,

The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.

This was the key to his statement and I agree with him.

Video games need to generate acceptable targets. Aliens invading people’s homes, PMCs controlled by powerful men, thugs and looters looking to beat up whoever they find, etc.

But it’s ridiculous anyone would post “Hey! If aliens did come to our world to take control of our governments, they would be sorely offended by video games about killing them!” On one level because aliens don’t exist. On the other because if they were coming to take control of our governments, why would we want to protect or respect them?

Now, replace the little green men with discriminatory, media-controlling purveyors of hate speech. They exist. Everyone sane would rather they didn’t. That’s all.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Ok

bstix,

I said that Nazis are not political. I don’t care if and I didn’t state whether you are one or not, but you can’t argue that anti-nazi statements should be disallowed for being political, because Nazis are not within a political spectrum.

In set theory, Nazis are simply not in the set that the rule is describing.

Probius,

Here’s a Wikipedia article on the subject. Nazis still exist today (as neo-Nazis) and they desperately want hating them to be a matter of political opinion instead of a matter of humanity. Don’t give them that.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Ok

@mojofrododojo@lemmy.world avatar

All they can do is reply Ok while they downvote your valid opinion, because anything else they say will reveal how much it upsets them that people hate nazis and their supporters.

lolol

_cryptagion,

/whoooosh

Goodmorningsunshine,

Killing Nazis in a video game for fun shouldn’t be confused with “politics.” Doing the same in real life only is because they’re a political party.
