Do you know what goes on behind the scenes?

How can someone claim to be a capitalist if they’re still eating every day?

I still find it funny that Steve Ballmer called Linux communism lmao

VRChat femboys be like

thats about what i thought itd be like lmao thanks for the reply

Sometimes reality really is stranger than fiction. Pavlov VR has a take on this city that my friend and I play on a lot. I always wondered how people travel here. Cool post

the overwhelmingly large majority of people want to use

you state this as fact yet my experience has been that people hate using windows for its UI on handhelds and only tolerate it because everything’s made for it. that’s not a shining point for windows, quite the opposite.

the steam deck surpassed a million devices sold - so while over 50% of people probably still want windows, i wouldn’t say its an “overwhelming” majority. tons of people clearly like valve’s take on linux even despite its limitations

For now

To be fair, the only reason Godot can’t port to consoles as easily as Unity is for licensing reasons. Console manufacturers don’t want their console build code released as open-source under MIT like Godot is, so that’s all relegated to third-party services/plugins

1. Yes, not a great as Unity but it’s still pretty good especially after they switched to Vulkan over OpenGL. VR performance still could use some work though.
2. Yes, PBR materials are fully supported. Actually one of the earlier things in 3D that was implemented, and then imoroved
3. Yes, now I don’t know if HAVOK has a Godot plugin but there is a Jolt physics plugin that’s designed to be plug-and-play, with a few exceptions (it doesn’t suppory soft bodies afaik)

social constructs aren’t totally fake, they’re made “real” by social reinforcement. for example, in the 1940/50s it was expected of women that they were “weak”, and many who went out of line (by speaking up to their husbands, protesting, etc) were punished by being beaten or worse. the feminist and trans rights movements seek to eliminate the old roles and stereotypes assigned to gender to get rid of the real-world retaliation towards those deemed inferior. in contrast, those who seek to reinforce the old ways continue these systems of abuse.

I have family who works in the railroad and I can assure you that the vast majority do not appreciate what he has done, paid sick days are only a fraction of what needed to change

i fuck with this

When I was looking to start learning game dev last year, the Unity CEO made the controversial remarks he did like a week into my journey and gave me a reason to switch lol

I think a boost is referring to the Mastodon kind, so basically a retweet

Good stuff, as the article mentions, California’s big population means its legislation typically has some effect nationwide too. But I can’t help feeling like there’s something I’m missing here, since Apple of all companies supported this bill. I wonder if they’re trying to get good PR after their notorious reputation, or is there a loophole somewhere?

it’s ridiculous how easy it is to use now once you get the basics down. im a bad artist in general, so i mostly use it for editing existing models, but i can also whip up a simple prototyping model pretty quick too. awesome stuff

Wouldn’t be a proper week without a leak on a War Thunder forum

I jumped to transphobia because of my personal experience with gender. Yes, misogyny is a better word. That’s not a mark on trans people though, I’m not the one attacking people’s identities here.

Definitely keep the original files intact/backup the files before doing anything, but theoretically, I think it should be possible. Likely, though, depending on the game (especially if it’s a game not made to be modded) there may be specific things like DLLs that look for a niche Windows component or driver that Proton can’t translate and won’t work.

That being said, Proton is open-source so there are old versions and forks that may work better, GE-Proton most famously. Also, if the game has built-in mod support or rely on a platform-agnostic runtime like Minecraft Java edition, those probably won’t be an issue anyway as the engine/language runtime should handle low-level stuff like that by itself
