I’m a PC gamer that hates console gaming for good reasons.

First, what are the important differences between PC gaming and console gaming?

• PC gaming is more open, users have more freedom and control over their games which allows creative things like mods.
• PC gamers typically use a keyboard and mouse, while consoles use a gamepad.
• PC gamers have varying hardware, console hardware is mostly all the same.

Because of this, console games have become the “lowest common denominator” of video games. If you’re a developer, you target the console and then port to PC. Games are dumbed down, slowed down, and graphically reduced for the console audience and then PC gamers are invited to slurp from the same trough. Modern console gaming has brought us such innovations as quicktime events (playing simon-says with buttons is not gameplay), weapon wheels (not the worst thing tbh), and exclusive deals (paying the dev to NOT release on other platforms). The keyboard and mouse is really a superior way of controlling a game. You have more buttons that you can hit quickly and aiming with a mouse is quicker and more precise. A game like Starcraft might never have been made if consoles were as powerful and popular back then. There actually was a SNES port of Starcraft and people literally only play it as a joke, the controls are too clunky.

In conclusion, I hate console gaming because it made my PC gaming worse. Worse menus, worse controls, worse graphics, less creative freedom, worse gameplay. I should also mention that most of my criticisms are for shooter games. Platformers on consoles are great fun and get ported to PC mostly without these issues.

Divorce your wife, hit the gym, get a tan, do laundry. Please use a better post title next time.

Until he stops talking I’m drinking Mexican water :(

The fork is called UZDoom and it’s already in the AUR. I read the Slashdot story on this today, and there’s a little more going on here. AI code grosses people out, but the bigger issue is that it’s being used in a GPL3 project which kind of isn’t allowed. The lead dev was also being a bit of a twat and not cooperating with the community. Long live UZDoom!

I didn’t realize it was that old, where the fuck does time go?! Well hopefully this rumor is true and I can get some kickass gear soon :)

I have the OG Vive that I can’t get working in Linux (never installed Windows on my new computer so I’m honestly not sure if it’s a hardware issue). It detects the controller and headset positions, but won’t send video to the headset, everything else works.

I want to buy an Index, but Valve has been out of stock for a long time now. I searched the web and found a rumor that Valve is releasing new VR hardware in Q4 2025 in time for the holidays. I hope this is true and I can get something even better than the index :)

Post boot time too.

Bluetooth speakers might be a pain because you might have to manually connect them every time you wake your laptop from suspend.

Thanks for the link! Done!

Because it’s Free and reviewed by kernel maintainers, what do you mean?

Code is code. If it’s good Free code, I’ll use it. I also don’t like Microsoft and Facebook but I run their kernel code too.

I guess I’ll never know, because I don’t want to have an account and I also don’t want them to have any data of mine.

I went to the first page and it asked for a login :/

I appreciate this kind of straightforward honesty.

Good, hopefully someone will train an ai on them and offer me better porn!

pyautogui is scripting, but it’s dead simple. You really don’t have to learn python to use it, just copy and paste the examples and modify to your heart’s content.

Again?!

When?
