Corroded@leminal.spaceto SBC Gaming@lemmy.ml•My Retroid Pocket Flip 2 finally arrived!English1·2 months agothe screen hoopla shouldn’t have happened in the first place if they just ignore the 4:3 purists :P
What was the issue there?
Corroded@leminal.spaceto SBC Gaming@lemmy.ml•My Retroid Pocket Flip 2 finally arrived!English2·2 months agoMind doing a side shot? I’d be curious to see how thick they are compared to each other.
Also do the sticks and buttons touch the screen? I thought I heard that was an issue with some clamshell handhelds. Whoever the reviewer was I believe speculated it may ware down the screen protector.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Movies & TV@hexbear.net•The show is better - Westworld (1973) ReviewEnglish8·3 months agoAre the later seasons of Westworld worth watching? I stopped watching just as samurais entered the picture.
Also did you know there was a sequel called Futureworld and a TV show called Beyond Westworld?

The TV show is pretty trash. Not in a fun way. Wouldn’t recommend.
Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

Is there a chance that Arch says that so they don’t have to take on the responsibility of endorsing yay while also acknowledging its prevalence?
Like if Nintendo made a statement saying they recommend against third party mods or repairs that deal with joycon stick drift because they don’t want to be held accountable or contacted about issues consumers run into a result of them.
Paying close attention to news feeds is something I wish I did when I ran Manjaro.
Any reason you would recommend Slackware specifically?
I’ve watched a few Youtube videos on the history of it and the advantages of it but I don’t recall much. It seemed like a lot of people who had used Slackware a long time ago simply continuing to use Slackware and people using at as a learning tool because of how user involved it is.
Would you recommend people start with Slackware itself or a Slackware-based distro?
It does. It gives you this message
-> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.
I only ran Debian and Ubuntu based distros up until that point so I thought you always needed to install packages using sudo.
I am pretty sure I ignored the warning initially because the first couple packages I tried to install with sudo and yay worked.
This was a while ago.
It doesn’t hurt to have the LTS kernel installed as a backup option (assuming you use the standard kernel as your chosen default) in case you update to a newer kernel version and a driver here or there breaks.
I had a similar issue that was resolved by swapping to the LTS kernel. Learning about using a bootable Arch USB and chrooting into your install to make repairs would be a good thing for OP to know
Why paru specifically?
And the neofetch print out
I didn’t read the documentation so I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use sudo with yay.
-Ss can be added to pacman to search for packages. Pretty useful if you don’t want to DuckDuckGo them every time.
As for applications one neat one I don’t see recommended very often is xkill. You can use it to kill applications kind of like you would with the task manager in Windows. htop is probably a closer comparison to the task manager in general though.
There are a lot of Arch-based distros that are incredibly easy to install if you want a very easy setup process that doesn’t involve a lot of terminal work.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts about video game preservation?English1·6 months agoI think it’s going to get more and more challenging due to how many games are focused on online play. If co-op or multiplayer servers are shutdown a lot of the time it comes down to fans to recreate them.
I’d highly recommend checking out this PCGamingWiki page about GameSpy server replacements if you are into that kind of thing.
Even with these mods you still run into the issue of needing either players or bots and whether or not to archive all game altering updates.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts about video game preservation?English2·6 months agoI would say MagiPacks might be an even better example primarily because they deal with older games. They also operate along the GOG logic of ensuring games run on modern operating systems but they do it by bundling in commonly used fan patches.

What did you think of it?

Maybe something starting off on something like the MSX or Intellivision that was never remastered.
Do you find you switch back and forth between games quite often?
