    I used to agree with this statement, but I'm no longer that sure.

    I built a new PC a week ago, installed windows first then Linux. The idea was that I needed Windows for gaming.

    Thought I'd try proton + Steam, regardless, just to see how it stacks up.

    No performance difference. HDR works through gamescope. The window manager of the DE isn't insane and I can alt tab around my OS without problem.

    Pretty good stuff. Still have windows for work and Valorant, but otherwise I play all my games on Linux these days. The only part that's lacking, in my opinion, is hot plugging controllers. Annoying that that doesn't work.

    I agree that Pitchford is a dick, but I sincerely disagree about the art style comments: I don't think it's morally correct to "copyright" (or, reworded: claim exclusivity of) art styles, especially in this context.

    I think the two works are completely independent, and Gearbox being inspired by the short film is completely appropriate.

    Anything else would be no different (in my opinion) than cases like Roger Dean (the cover artist for Yes' early albums) suing James Cameron for the floating islands in Avatar.

    It's not stealing to be inspired by someone else.

    DHCP as in it's an ethernet connection to a residential router that provides the device with connectivity details.

    Normally this isn't considered as secure as a bad actor can cut the power or connecting cables (e.g. If you're using dsl) to kick your system offline.

    And, yeah, my old security system absolutely had an old 2G/EDGE modem to connect and send basic signals (as a fallback, in case of the above power cutting scenario). Was great.

    If you don't want to pre-order, don't. But don't just assume that the cancelation of a playtest means the game is broken.

    Announcing they've gone gold, two months prior to launch, is surely to assuage doubts that the game is being rushed or incomplete.

    It's the correct move, and shows that they believe in their product. Hopefully it isn't a deception.

    Genuinely hope this one turns out great, as I loved the first game.

    That's not what "going gold" means.

    Functionally, it means development has stopped because the dev team has deemed it complete enough for physical release builds.

    Nameless Puppet was definitely harder than Isshin, in my opinion.

    Isshin was tough but very fairly designed. Part of NP's moveset in Phase 2 is a bit gimmicky and hard to dodge/block, which is a bit of a pain.

    I think Isshin is easier only in that it's a better designed fight that rewards you more for learning his moves and tells.

    If a summon was available, I'd use it. My logic is that the designers gave me access to these tools, why not?

    Having said that, the Nameless Puppet is the only fight where you don't get the summon - so that's the one time the designers expect you to "git gud".

    Great fight, the hardest I've ever seen in a Souls-like, but technically fair. Just gotta learn those parry timings, yo.

  • linux Linux What email client are you guys using?
    Jump
  • derin derin 2 months ago 100%

    Aah, now I understand.

    There is no such setting that I'm immediately aware of - but I am automatically getting messages for my folders. So I'm assuming it's doing something in the background: most likely a periodic sync for the entire account.

    Definitely doesn't sound like the behavior you wanted, my bad. But, at least there are notifications on the folders once mail is received. 😅

    Edit: In the repo for their sync engine it explains:

    Mailspring uses a fairly basic syncing algorithm, which runs on two threads with two open connections to the mail server. Within each thread, work is performed synchronously.

    Background Worker: Periodically iterates over folders and (depending on the supported IMAP features) uses CONDSTORE / XYZRESYNC to check for mail or performs either a "local" or "deep" sync of part of the folder's UID space.

    Foreground Worker: Idles on the primary folder and wakes to syncs changes. Also wakes to perform other tasks, like fetching message bodies the user clicks.

    So the foreground worker only idles on the primary folder, but it does slowly iterate over all folders in the background.

    No settings have been added for this functionality (that I'm aware of).

    Edit 2: Went back and read your original comment; hadn't noticed the PR was yours. If that's the case then you're probably aware of how the sync works anyway. My bad if I've posted stuff you're already aware of.

    Fastmail.

    Can you choose which folders use real-time push vs which folders use polling?

    I'm afraid not. I'm pretty sure the entire account uses polling. I'll usually open the app and hit F5 to quickly poll for results, otherwise I'm waiting for the next sync.

    Having said that, the unread counter works fine for sub-folders:

    Edit: I was wrong, Mailspring uses the IMAP IDLE extension to wait for new mail delivery. Still doesn't stop me from spamming F5 when I'm waiting for new mail to arrive.

    While I grew up playing the original Crazy Taxi (in arcade machine form, no less), I'm certain it would fail if released with the same gameplay formula today.

    Some changes were necessary, for sure.

    Having said that, making it massively multiplayer with a persistent open world definitely seems like a step in the wrong direction.

    Something more akin to a modern roguelike with an expanding gameplay area and meaningful vehicle upgrades between runs probably would have been enough.

    But, having said that, I'm hoping the studio is able to make something great. I'm very-cautiously optimistic.

    As a player who's played 4U, GU, World, and Rise; I'm kind of okay with that loss. The hunting side of things was always very weak and unintuitive (to me).

    I think putting more emphasis on interactions with the world kind of help justify the existence of the open world - but more emphasis on finding and tracking monsters just seems like a step in a direction the teams - historically - haven't been the best at.

    This is just my opinion, though - shame to see a part you liked about the games being reduced.

    Hearing statements like these really makes me appreciate the two studio/tag team approach Capcom takes to developing MH games.

    I love that the portable/rise team is more focused on mechanics and systems, whereas the mainline team is more concerned with scale and simulation.

    The fact that they can learn from each other and include the other team's successful additions into their own mix really means each game is taking steps in the right direction.

    Turkish middle school, high school, and university exams are very serious.

    Basically everyone takes the same set of long exams (with a few additions you can add to your standard exam sets, for specialized schools) and when the results come out, you are compared to all other students in the nation.

    Like, think global leaderboards.

    The best universities will outright reject you if your ranking isn't high enough.

    It's very intense and cut-throat; so much so that - when I was a young'un growing up in Turkey - I just opted to try my hand at the SATs instead. Ended up going to school abroad.

    The SATs were so easy, compared to the exam prep we did in our Turkish classes, it almost felt like a joke. Though, college tuition costs definitely made sure I wasn't the one with the last laugh.
