merthyr1831,

The opinion of what is and isnt “subjective” is up for a lot of debate even if you dont personally have a major stake in a videogame’s marketing campaign (such as the authors and enforcers of these contracts).

merthyr1831,

googled Sudachi, and its GPL 3 but:

  • Contributions aren’t allowed
  • Hosted on github (might be an issue tracker instead of the live repo tho)
  • Claims not to paywall features, before listing a bunch of features behind a paywall.

yeah that’s gonna go real swell for them

merthyr1831,

I guess if you like matrix thats cool, but I did just do a quick google and it looks like their clients and server backend are all open source (AGPL-3) and self-hostable so I wouldn’t say there’s much to distrust.

merthyr1831,

I’m still pretty solid with my Yuzu install so I’ve no need to move to Ryujinx for now, but assuming they avoid Ninty’s legal team I’ll likely pick up Ryujinx when I need a fresh steamOS install and/or Ryujinx surpasses Yuzu’s compatibility in a game I wanna play

merthyr1831,

I mean using matrix or any chat service is giving your data to someone else. What’s the distrust with revolt?

Looking at their git repos it seems pretty above board: multiple open source clients by community members, APGL license, docker images and backend repo all pretty accessible in one place.

No hate on Matrix of course, but theres a few people who seem to have the ick for Revolt and I wonder if Ive missed something.

merthyr1831,

The threads/forum feature on discord is just awful. Topics get buried and I think the general ethos of discord encourages people to just spam in the chat channels rather than wait in a forum for help.

merthyr1831,

try !privacy as I’m not 100% on this stuff

but basically:

some third party hosts let you sign up anonymously with an anonymous email etc.

Only ever connect to the server host via VPN

Get a domain with anonymous WHOIS protection

Stick it all behind a reverse proxy


Technically Nintendo or whoever could demand your proxy/host to stop doing business with your account, but they won’t have enough personal info to go beyond that and you can just rehost it under new info.

merthyr1831,

Fair enough, the federation of platforms like lemmy is a good protection against legal trolls for sure.

fuck jagex, give us ace of spades back you bastards

Knowing the average rimworld player i dont want to know

merthyr1831,

generally game studios do choose to begin their next game after releasing their previous game from open beta, yes.

merthyr1831,

It might be bad practice to dump 1.3GB of variable user data into the registry, though. Especially when there’s SQL servers and Nuget packages that can deal with that kind of data in a platform-agnostic way.

merthyr1831,

Seems like horrible dev practice to place save data of any kind in the Windows registry lmao. I get that it’s designed for storing user data in some respects but the registry is an old and fickle solution to setting global variables important for communication between processes and applications.

If you’re storing data that’s only ever needed by your own application, especially if it isn’t OS-related, you shouldn’t mess with the registry. Not only does it not have the performance you’d expect for most circumstances, but the registry has a real performance and stability impact even when outside of your app.

What’s worse, imo, is that this data is difficult to access for making backups, utilising cloud synchronization, and cross compatibility of your app.

Unity is a lot more borked than I thought, but KSP devs should probably be careful with what data serialisation APIs they mess with.

Merkava IIIB in wargame red dragon, that or the SU-27M. nightmare fuel

merthyr1831,

Humble Bundle does pretty much that from what I can tell. Surprised more games don’t come to the humble store
