Rando OnSteam

@moonshellnds Finally found your X! MDXWin was/is is my fav music player. I've spent the past couple years attempting to recreate it in C so eventually can get it running on classic mac - longterm goal (C89 so it compiles in old CodeWarrior). Lots more tweets to follow!

There's other odd things with Artix like in virtualbox you cant use the default audio you need to manually select "PulseAudio" for each VM.

Artix had issues but I solved them all. ALWAYS CHOOSE dkms. Proton took a while to debug as it didnt say what packages were causing it to crash. I put btop in a maximized konsole as my desktop bg and its neat. Maybe my setup helps someone pastes.io/gBHMnjAT

RetroGameCorps makes another steam controller video. He goes more into xinput and stuff, though he blames windows which I disagree with. Someday I'll use my old steam controller and see what rawinput codes it sends to confirm. youtube.com/watch?v=CqU20G…

@BrodieOnLinux Don't apologize for stuff that wasn't wrong. That site is hilarious though.. whoever wrote that site would not have survived on old slashdot and forums

This is the first and last time I'll be addressing this post, about a year ago some people started compiling a document of comments I made on Reddit from over 7 years ago and my old tumblr blog, the following thread I will address them brodie-robertson.pages.dev

@SerSquiggy @St1ka 8 is fantastic. Its only real flaw is level scaling (common trend at the time). Its part of the 6/7/8 trilogy so the same ideas apply.

@St1ka I finished Wizardy 6 and 7 but I heard 8 was a bit of a donkey ? 🤷‍♂️

4 janky RPGs that are flawed but also excellent once you get into them

On Artix i had to reinstall the nvidia driver because it didnt detect my monitor hz correctly and it had a "split cursor" where the upper left and lower right were different cursors. This is a very painful process because you have to do it without a DE running o_O

Working on getting Artix linux working. Really promising so far, but I've have to make a ton of tweaks. It booted into wayland by default and locked up, virtualbox couldnt load VMs (AGAIN - though i fixed that), nvidia wasnt installed correctly by default. Detects my 144hz disp

Mostly I was bummed that GhostBSD didn't go well. That one is really well setup - the GUI package manager is nice, the fish shell setup is great, it boots relatively fast. Sidenote: modprobe vboxdrv completely bricked the v7 kernel on openmandriva. That was a nightmare...

messages! Also it is hardloaded to use kvm, which you DONT WANT for older vms (not that that worked either)! The vbox kernel sources that come from dnf can't really be compiled for various reasons, and vbox from source has various issues like its libxml2 and gcc/clang conflict

VIRTUALBOX: I spent MANY hours trying to fix this. There are so many issues here - first off the app launches but can't launch any VMs due to the kernel driver (vboxdrv) not working. First instinct is to try to fix it but the driver locks up loading without printing any log

wanted to switch to a unix distro with xlibre/non-sysd as my daily driver. its not been going well :\ - GhostBSD: My fav in a VM, but on a real machine has issues: 1) It can't reliably connect to any of my usb keyboards. The LEDs on them flash constantly do its TRYING to

@xandrom_app @NearestCommit 2 things: 1) If (s)hes talking about OS linking (like say dwmapi in win32), always dynamically link. Static linking ties you to a specific OS version. 2) For your own code, dynamically link to components/plugins/[L]GPL.

@NearestCommit what is the correct answer then?

Former twitter employee btw

My X timeline was hyping this up but I guess people are just desperate for a game to play. What a letdown, and I expected nothing too. I played this game today and it was good (store.steampowered.com/app/2525190/Th…) though.

I played a bit of NTE... and the game is just bad outside of exploration. Enemies have that cheap coloring that PSO2NGS does, and they are way too spongy right in the prologue. It has a bad version of Ys's character swap system.

Character models just don't look great its got that underrendered look typical of Chinese gatchas. Counted 4+ currencies in shop PLUS real money. The worst part is it constantly takes control away from your character to slowly walk during the story. Bad English VA.

Great Steam Controller compatibility chart by Retro Game Corps. Should note that SISR is rather experimental still.

@AyakaMods Audio visualizer seems microphone only? Rather neat though!

@raysan5 They are all correct. snprintf returns the amount needed for the full string - NOT THE AMOUNT WRITTEN! and since it has no null char that's an undefined amount.

Why C compilers can't agree in how a standard C library function should works? ☹️ And better not to talk about strncpy()...
