  • Finally picked up the Brotato DLC. Despite the mixed reviews I find it a lot of fun.

    I also got Lonestar which is a space themed deck/bag and tableau builder roguelite. Enjoying it a lot so far. Probably won't have quite as much longevity as the best of the genre but I think it will be good for a few dozen hours.

    I also tried Undertale (currently at an all time low of $0.99) and Reventure but I didn't end up keeping those. They felt too clunky and I guess they are not really my jam.

  • To be fair I wouldn't want a Firefox monoculture either. I would like more usable open source browser engines not fewer. The problem with Chrome/Chromium is not that it exists but the way it is tangled up with monopolistic interests. Healthy competition and more user choice please.

  • My first WWW experience was trying Mosaic on a computer without an Internet connection. I knew what the Internet was, we had access through an X.25 PAD (kind of like a dial-up shell session, no direct TCP/IP) so I'd already used IRC, Usenet, FTP, Archie, Gopher etc. I also knew what hypertext was from various local help and document browser programs. So I figured out that Mosaic can display HTML documents but of course without Internet connectivity just showing some local demo pages didn't seem all that special. But I figured it out later on...

  • A nice aspect of survivor games on the deck is that you can play them single handed (for the most part). I like to clone the left stick onto the right one so I can play with either hand.

    Brotato is my current pick for this.

  • I haven't played the game yet but I am very curious what about it might have this effect. Is it story related or some gameplay element?

    I don't mind spoilers but maybe mark it up as such if needed in case others do.

  • On PC and Steamdeck Binding of Isaac and Brotato mostly, my most played comfort games. Looking to get started with Lonestar soon.

    On mobile I got back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. I've been paying classic roguelikes for a very long time. Never gotten very good at them but I still enjoy every run and inevitable death.

  • [ 5067.696] (II) Applying OutputClass "AMDgpu" to /dev/dri/card1

    Make sure that you actually have permission to that /dev/dri/card1 device. This may be arranged by udev or "video" group membership.

    Regarding AMD vs Nvidia, unless you need CUDA you probably made the right choice. This sounds like a config issue and you'd probably be dealing with the same thing with Nvidia too.

  • Make sure to check out Yucata.de too. They have about 200 games with some overlaps with BGA. The site UI takes some getting used to and matchmaking is not as well featured as BGA's but the in-game UI is actually very nice once you grok it and it has an excellent undo/replay/log system.

    Some of my Yucata favorites:

    • Bonfire
    • Carpe Diem
    • Cartographers (also on BGA)
    • Fields of Arle
    • Grand Austria Hotel
    • Lorenzo Il Magnifico
    • Mottainai
    • Mountain Goats (also on BGA)
    • Mystic Vale
    • Newton
    • Rajas of the Ganges
    • Rajas Dice
    • Red Cathedral
    • Renature
    • Taverns of Tiefenthal

    And I am currently practicing Skymines.

    • Termux (or equivalent) has always been the primary mobile phone use case for me. Access to my main computing platforms from my pocket.
    • Antennapod
    • Fedilab (Mastodon)
    • Fennec - Can't deal with the web without uBo and other extensions.
  • So, this is a more involved approach and it's not a Firefox add-on but I thought I'd mention it:

    https://fnordig.de/til/Machine-Translation/bergamot-subtitles.html

    You'd play the YT videos outside the browser using mpv in combination with yt-dlp and an mpv lua script would do the translation locally using the Bergamot engine (which happens to be Mozilla's translation engine). Could be adapted to use other engines too.

    Experience with sdl2-compat?

    When the newly released sdl3 is installed it offers to replace sdl2 with sdl2-compat which is a compatibility wrapper around sdl3. Any experience with this wrapper? Are you a happy user? Have you run into any breakage?

    A new tool to forward evdev input events between Linux hosts

    evfwd is a new tool for forwarding evdev input events from one Linux host to another, typically through an ssh connection.

    The reason I am posting this here is that my initial motivation for creating the tool was gaming related: I wanted to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and gamepad on my Steam Deck.

    The tool works by serializing /dev/input/... events on one hosts and then injecting them via /dev/uinput on another. You have to arrange the pipe between the two ends, typically using ssh:

     undefined
        
    evfwd /dev/input/somedevice | ssh somehost evfwd -s
    
    
      

    See the readme for more details.

    the replacement mod search for r/thingsforants is going great!

    According to an r/modcoord post this subreddit was another one where the admins wholesale removed the current mod team and now they are looking for replacements.
