800x600 was perfectly fine on my (family computer) 1997* era ATi Rage Pro 8MB AGP (funnily enough, it was slightly slower than the PCI version) card for Half Life 1. 1024x768 too but less FPS. Quake 3 Arena ran better.

Fucks saaaake.

First off, Fitgirl repacks often fail to unpack properly on Linux through WINE/Proton. I prefer naked game folders compressed into an archive instead of a stupid setup.exe that’s just an over glorified 7z decompressor anyways behind the scenes. You posted this on .world instead of a piracy friendly community unfortunately so you’d have to DM me for linux friendly filesharing sources if you care to.

My non-Steam workflow is basically this. I use Faugus Launcher instead of Heroic: https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher but with the other comments here you’ll realise the same steps apply to any of this stuff. Lutris, Heroic, Faugus, whatever. Just different GUI.

Scenario 1: I find ready to go compressed game folder archive and avoid an annoying installer.

1. Extract archive, add game exe to Faugus Launcher.

2. Hit play. If it doesn’t work, try a different proton variant like GE. Proton-GE especially good for non-Steam indie or very old games. If it pops an error about C++ redist missing or whatever, right click the game in Faugus and run winetricks to install that to the prefix. If it still doesn’t work, look up on Protondb for launch argument fixes. If it still doesn’t work, cry myself to sleep. https://www.protondb.com/

Or:

Scenario 2: I can’t find anything without having to run a Windows setup program first.

1. Add setup exe to Faugus, rename prefix to what the game is called before clicking ok.

2. Hopefully install the game without setup hanging, thus wasting much time and bandwidth.

3. Go back to Faugus and right click the prefix I added earlier to run setup exe. Change path to installed game exe. Prefix doesn’t change, uses same folder the setup exe did.

4. Play game, refer to step 2 in previous scenario for troubleshooting.

There’s many studies, so here’s two:

tl;dr: the massively increased rate of rocket launches and re-entry satellite burn-ups is creating a significant amount of pollution that is probably damaging the Ozone layer.

Canada is still a piracy safe haven, I don’t use VPN. I get funni letters sometimes and laugh at them. Prosumer reseller ISP don’t give a dang. Penalty caps are so low that it’s basically malicious compliance at the Federal level, so nobody gets sued because there’s no money in it for the copyright trolls. Just have to avoid dealing directly with the telecom mafia: Rogers, Shaw, Telus.

Tbh I use direct download as a source more than torrents these days. There’s a lot of free hosts now that aren’t painful to use like in the past when you needed to pay a subscription to some company like Rapidshare to get anything done on sites like Warez-bb.

Yeah, even on modified official apk via Youtube Morphe. I just had to update to latest patch and working again.

Well not to worry, all these internet swarm satellites might cause another one.

It was nearby the hiking trail to Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh. Possibly “La Favorita Pizzeria” looking up the area now but this was in 2015.

We could say that it’s not that he’s on the spectrum. It’s that he is while also being evil, so it’s mixed with something else that’s anti social and unfortunate. I don’t know how much of it is by choice. He was a bad person even before becoming ultra rich. Insert “dumb fucks” quote here.

Since other people are posting haggis, then the fucking BANGER haggis pizza I had when I visited the U.K. More of a Scottish thing though, no?

More strictly then I suppose Fish’n Chips or a Cottage Pie. I has those too over there. Can’t say it’s noticeably different from the local Atlantic Canada themed joints all around me in a landlocked province 😅.

Yeah :( Grab a copy of the archive!

BurgerBaron, 5. hangs up

Is this just a port of the PS3 collection?

I expect low voter turnout. I’ll go vote even though it feels dirty that I even have to.

Figure out why you feel compelled to constantly look first because there’s a variety of reasons why we can be stuck in a rut. Mine was indoctrinated into me. 1990’s school and family taught me to feel shame for not keeping up with current events. My dad seemed to think it was his duty to watch cable news.

Your reason(s) could be different. I had to learn that disconnecting isn’t shameful and isn’t actually harmful. I’m a peasant with very minority progressive points of view in Alberta. I can’t really affect very much at all with knowledge not even through voting under a FPTP system. Nothing peaceful anyways and anything else is taboo still since things haven’t declined far enough yet. If my mood is particularly sour, I can disconnect entirely up until I have to make a potentially important decision. Then, I already know where to go looking to get caught up on relevant information immediately. You would too, I’m sure you’re well practiced.

I replaced corporate algorithms and content aggregators with RSS feeds for news. I replaced short form video content with nothing since I don’t think there’s a healthy form of it. I lost word of mouth information especially when it comes to entertainment and local activist information. That’s replaced with email newsletters. Took a lot of time to set up but I feel locally connected in a healthier way now.

I word filter Fediverse. Not always, just when I feel burn out. I can with this instance or I could use an app for Lemmy based instances lacking the feature. I have a separate browser extension called FilterBubble for platform agnostic filtering. Again, I toggle my lists on and off depending on my mood. I don’t sub to too many meme or news communities here, peace of mind. My RSS feeds are higher quality and match my tastes. I really don’t need to see anything posted by media owned by American billionaires or Post Media. Stuff like that.

The latest puzzle: what the viroids doin’ in our guts? Nobody knows, we are only just realised they are widespread and not exclusive to flowers or whatever Anton told me. Tiny simple RNA smudges that are too simple to even qualify as a virus.

I feel like they’re as close to abiogenesis as we’ll ever get, with these living fossils.

I don’t think the increase in death and maiming injuries bothers this voting base.

Paper route at 10 years old until I was 14 or so. I bought a PS2 and my first computer with that money.

Then I worked part time at a pizza joint until I was 19, just as a cook. I sometimes did opening shifts on weekends but not often. By Grade 11 / 17 years old I only attended high school until lunch break for my last two years there (I exploited a few specific classes, had 52 out of 100 credits in my first year alone) and then started work by noon and working until 7pm. A lot of my friends worked there too so they’d do 4pm - 7pm after school, just the supper rush.

If you think about it for 3 seconds the story falls apart yeah. That’s no fun. Door Dash would blacklist as soon as the ex complained.

But if nobody complained and the lemons are getting paid for, I wonder if anyone would try to stop you doing this 7.5 times a day and how long it’d take.

No, 7G only gets rid of the human superiority complex.
