Fedora here, been running Baldur’s Gate 3 no problem using proton. Even with a 2600.

No reason to go back to windows knowing I can run pretty much anything through steam.

Small communities are the best communities

In 10 years we went through a huge jump. Mass use of smart phones, new PoS systems, the internet has become overly censored, forest fires like we have never seen before, covid, powerful handhelds, AI… Things are exponential right now

On my steamdeck, plugged into a projector

I still vote we are some sort of experiment for aliens to observe, and have been under the microscope as they watched us evolve from primal creatures to the death of the world as we advance with our destructive technologies.

I just take mushrooms

60s James Bond had a dad bod.

I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.

Here me out

The only way Lemmy can remain this way, and be able to afford the rising cost of server upkeep is to rely on ad revenue generated by bots, generated on dead websites. Now ofcourse the people running the servers would need to also own these ad riddled websites.

The way it would work, is droves of AI get trained to surf the internet, click on click bait, look at ads, and simply simulate human foot traffic.

This money would then go towards server upkeep in the fediverse.

It’s kind of a loophole.

As long as the API remains public there will be add free Lemmy on the ads. But your right as long as people start coming out to these “malls” where there is no shopping to be had, the food is free, lots of chatter and there’s lots of seating. Eventually there is bound to be a catch, there’s lots of people hanging about, if I was the monopoly guy I would be figuring out how to get these people to spend money, especially the cost of keeping the mall open goes up.

I’m there there are greedy mo-fo’s watching. All it takes is someone with a nice big lump sum offer to the people that run the servers and that someone with revenue in their minds will sprinkle ads and premium features all throughout the instances.

Why can’t we just let the users decide what gets visibility vs what doesn’t?

I know it may be a stupid question. The problem with Reddit was it become to moderated to the point if you didn’t read the fine print your post would get removed.

I think users simply agree what is relevant to the community and what isn’t and will vote accordingly.

If the content is obviously NSFW take it down, and if they are spamming obviously ban them and remove the spam.

I really would hate to Lemmy become overmoderated.

The originals you can play on any old computer, can either get it free off the browser, you just need dosbox, or off the steamstore(installs dosbox for you), and then away you go. May want to use a controller.

The games are extremely glitchy, often at times unbearable to look at. The ambiance is where the beauty is at, as well as the clever puzzles and platforming. The level design is incredible.

Tomb Raider 1 - 3 and unfinished business are true videogame relics.

I was hoping it was going to be a remaster of the originals.

Now we need a new video platform.
