AI does give more reasoning than a forum might, that’s true.

And to the end user who doesn’t know what they’re doing, the end result is the same or the AI one will get them “further”.

I say this because if you’re following forums, chances are you’re following guides, which means you don’t understand what it is you’re doing. Which is fine, I typically don’t either, which is why I have a harder time with Linux.

But realistically, following the guide of Stackoverflow will hit a hiccup and you will be stuck. Following AI, things might not work and need to be troubleshooted, but it will continue answering questions until the two of you put together something that sort of works.

Not because of AI, but because the person kept trying. AI only made it so they didn’t need to understand.

Passion project “dev”.

Mechanics first. Placeholder template for what you need for visuals. There’re also free assets for that if you want to avoid your own altogether.

Sound is a set all on its own, so I would save that for the near-mid to near-end point (before finishing touches). That is to say, don’t think about it for a while.

Others have said, but take it like a cake. One piece at a time ;)

What you don’t realize is that I did write up a response to the other one. Then I got distracted, the app closed, I lost my response and I moved on.

But sure, insult me more. Good discussion.

It’s really good. One of the only games where a pacifist run feels worth it, because the game design is done so well.

Play the game normally first though

You know, reasons why are a lot more engaging than just outright dismissal, but whatever I guess.

When the third party candidate admits that their campaign is solely to siphon away votes from Democrats? And the Republican alternative has actively stated Palestine should be wiped out by Israel?

Can’t vote Democrat because support of Israel. That means you also can’t support Republicans, because they support the full extent of the genocide even more. And that means you can’t support (most) 3rd party candidates, because the Green Party is primarily funded by Republican donors and, quote,

"Trump, has embraced Kennedy as an ally, has previously spoken fondly of both Stein and West.

“Cornel West, he’s one of my favorite candidates,” Trump said during a campaign rally in Philadelphia in June. “I like her also, Jill Stein, I like her very much. You know why? She takes 100% from them. He takes 100%.”

So that leaves us with… A candidate who at least is saying a 2 state solution, and one who told Israel to finish the job. Plus you know, all of the American focused policies, such as education.

With this in mind, and with how the events of 2016’s election turned out, you can understand why people are suspicious about 3rd party voting, right?

As opposed to… Supporting Trump, who has told Israel to finish the job? Who has no interest even feigning a possibility of a two state solution? The one who stopped aiding Ukraine in 2019? Who’s supporters have made trans and POC politicians step down because they wouldn’t stop receiving death threats after Trump was elected? Who singlehandedly dismantled the EPA to kill corporate regulations, the CDC resulting in the deaths of millions of Americans, and our education system by planting Betsy DeVoss, whose brother is Eric Prince founder of Blackwater?

Certainly helps!

Right, like I said I’ve seen the reasoning. It just seems like giving money to the very company you’re all trying to avoid, which in turn is just funding for Google to be more invasive.

I will never understand buying a google phone just to deGoogle it. why would you give them money.

I’ve seen the reasoning, I just …

No suggestion other than to listen to some Zorba!

That makes a lot of sense. Never came across him before, thanks for the info!

I saw a video about all this last night and it was really disheartening how many people are insulting people.

Edit: here’s a piped video link to the video. https://piped.video/watch?v=wdeto5kXd40&t=0

And YouTube for the comments https://youtu.be/wdeto5kXd40&t=0

The video itself wasn’t great, but it at least seems somewhat impartial. I was really tired and was having a hard time processing what his intentions were as he was going over everything. On top of that, reading the comments at the same time made it even more difficult, since so many are agreeing with the YouTuber but are being so hateful about it. The YouTuber doesn’t seem explicitly hateful, but like I said it isn’t great. Also, it seems inaccurate now given that the video came out so quickly and the way it was handled by Godot.

That is to say, I’m pretty sure his premise of the video is that Xanax was an official community manager. So again, really not great and yet the comments in support are just… Evil and cruel.

Color change, eh? Sounds like B+W makes displays more energy efficient, that should be significant!

Ahh so it’s still never been confirmed then. The Aether2x event and the Reddit third-party event happened relatively close together, so I never got closure.

Sad that the emulation community has such a prevalent amount of vocal people who go around expectantly harassing developers. Such a large part of the community seems so nice and wholesome, but there is a significant portion that is also extremely vile and consistently ruins it for the rest of us.

Edit: Oh, and thank you for responding.

Linux isn’t for you. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t really like using Linux all that much.

If you stick with it, pick one. Stick with it. Use its documentation, not online forums.

You can’t use online forums because CLI on how to do things varies from distro to distro. So a command for Ubuntu is useless somewhere else, most of the time.

That results in following guides and having it stop working part way through. You will never get anywhere like this. When you eventually do get somewhere, you’re going to take some time away, or you’re going to break something on accident. Then you’ll have to set it all up again and likely will have lost some data if you weren’t careful.

I built a server PC for Plex and a few other programs, after a number of years running various temporary projects, like Raspberry Pi servers I felt semi-confident. It was going for about 7 months and now it is stuck in a grub menu and if I am able to get into the desktop everything is fucked up anyway.

Tl;Dr, you are having issues because you went with the most complicated distros. Run some normal ones like Mint in Virtual Machines, get a feel for the process to install a program – 1) manually, 2) from the “Linux store” (package manager) 3) from GitHub.

Anything else is just asking for a frustration headache

Iirc - Duckstation dev is the same one who did Aether2x right?

I’m sure.its a bit of that too, but I do feel like the ultimate reason is still, “well why are you taking time off to do something that isn’t only benefitting you?”

basically the same mindset that created this culture is what developed compensation for our time, as opposed to just taking the loss for the day to do a good thing.

Damn right! Damn hell ass right!
