Love to see it

3.2% is like 5 million active users if Steam overall has 156 million active users, but they're likely higher than that

The 11th Hour {the five stages.}

  1. Shock: You finally figure out The 7th Guest, only to hear that its sequel, The 11th Hour is going to be released.
  2. Disbelief: This can't be true! You read the articles, memorize the reviews, & talk incessantly about The 11th Hour. Friends shun you.
  3. Resentment: They said it would be out, and you believed them. Where is it?! Why would they lie to you?!!
  4. Acceptance: It's out!!! Finally! It's everything they said it would be & more. Now, if you could just figure out what is behind the....
  5. Death.

You can stop grieving now. The 11th Hour has finally arrived. This PC CD-ROM game fuses incredible 3-D graphics and mind-numbing challenges with a full-length psychological thriller. It's also 12 times bigger and two CDs longer than its predecessor, The 7th Guest. So, is The 11th Hour really worth the wait? Well, we think it's totally killer.

Found my old pocket computer at my parents' house, and it still works!

You could choose between RAM vs storage lol, and of course the storage gets wiped when the batteries die

I'm sure it does, considering even my old busted laptop has hit the Steam hardware survey before, but it's not one of my primary gaming PCs.

Another way of saying this is Steam Machine is slower than about 44 million gaming PCs (30% x 147 MAU, a very conservative number since that's monthly and number of users instead of number of computers).

The fact that its GPU is slower than the 5 year old PS5's, and it only has 8GB VRAM, makes me question Steam Machine's longevity. And it apparently can't do FSR4 cause it's RDNA3.

It needs to be cheap.

Google Translate:

First of all, the ActivityPub system is not suited to something like Misskey, which flows at lightning speed.

It was originally designed to connect blogs, small-scale SNSs, and wikis.

How can it handle the TL hell where tens of thousands of requests fly in per second?

It's based on the idea that it would be nice if various small services could send each other updates, so it's quite costly.

People are so stubborn that they're still using Twitter lol. It'll be many years before anything overtakes Reddit, I just hope it's decentralized

I installed F-Droid and Aurora. I used F-Droid to install Jerboa, works great although it doesn't have a tablet-style layout so it's just a big phone app when I resize it lol. Discord also works well in the headset. I got a file manager so I can easily install APKs from the web too. Plex is great in the headset. KDE Connect is pretty cool for transferring files to the headset and checking the battery while the headset is charging.

I used Sidequest to install Dolphin XR (I can probably get this APK if anyone wants the raw file, I didn't see a way to download the file directly from Sidequest).

Trauma Center: Second Opinion is maybe the best VR game never made. It's a perfect fit. It's fun to replay operations to get a higher rank. I only came across one issue so far, the rotation of the controller doesn't seem to be emulated, so I can't do the operation where you need to rotate bone fragments into place. For now I'm just playing other operations, but if I need to do that one maybe I'll just transfer the save to my PC to do it. Worst case scenario, I can download the saves from speedrun.com and skip whatever operations I can't do.

I highly recommend the Trauma Center Wii games in VR, I wish Atlus would make a proper port. It would also play well with a mouse, but maybe it's more fun with the motion controls.

What other emulated games work well in VR? I've yet to try CitraVR or PPSSPP VR.

according to Google, Steam has 147 million monthly active users

3.05% of 147 million is about 4.48 million Linux Steam monthly users

[-] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 85 points 5 months ago

Is this the tipping point? There was another popular Youtuber who made a similar video recently, I forget who, but I could see videos like this bringing enough users to make Linux more than a drop in the bucket.

I actually loved the mechanics of this game, the gunplay and flying controls were so tight

I think you misunderstood, ada was suggesting using a different server than lemmy.world in order to spread out the load better

some examples:

https://discuss.online/

https://sh.itjust.works/

https://lemmy.ca/

https://sopuli.xyz/

https://lemmy.zip/

https://aussie.zone/

They're all still Lemmy, just different access points. If you want the "Old" UI, some have it built in like https://old.lemmy.ca/ and https://old.lemmy.zip/

yep, if you're a lemm.ee user then your Export button will be here: https://lemm.ee/settings

the bottom of the right column

Everyone thinks the moderation/admin features need to be improved. I'm curious which improvements people are really needing. Whenever I see big complaints about it (beehaw, lemmy.one) I never see any specifics. Link the filed Github issues for them otherwise the feature requests don't really exist, and I'd like to give them thumbs up reactions so they get prioritized more.

Once I saw Beehaw give an actual specific complaint, and it was fixed in a hotfix (v0.18.5) within a couple weeks. Of course Beehaw never updated to that version anyways.
