I’m currently browsing through the top posts of the last month, trying to find the news that sparked the DOW over 50,000 memes. I’m now at ~300 upvotes and still nothing.

That’s exactly what a bot would say.

The release of the Gothic Remake in June. Hope I will be healthy enough to play.

Similar to how ReCAPTCHA was meant to train neural networks for image recognition the anti bot protocol is used to train an autist to find an efficient factorisation algorithm.

“Prove that you’re a bot by factorising this large number.”

I think this should default to off. Lemmy is heavy enough as it is. Caching images from unknown sources just puts additional unneeded strain on all your resources.

Apart from that when some dipshit decides to post CSAM again to another instance you could be liable if you get them on your server.

Much better to turn caching off instead of dealing with those problems.

Praying should be about as effective as the meth.

I remember just about every Kim not being very healthy. The jokes wrote themselves with Kim Jong-il.

Anybody know how it compares to ALVR?

I have Easy Effects with Advanced Auto Gain from https://github.com/JackHack96/EasyEffects-Presets running on my laptop. It’s been great in that regard.

Not too loud. Don’t want the suits to find out.

That’s because every time you run a new program with Proton on Steam it creates a new Wine-prefix (fake Windows drive). So when you run the installed battlenet.exe it creates a new Windows environment where Battle.net is not installed.

But the installer is using the environment where Battle.net is installed and apparently it has a function to run Battle.net when it detects that it’s already installed.

A mouse? For shooters?!?

I definitely still played Quake with keyboard only and having it automatically look up or down on ramps.

I think during playing Jedi Knight I started using the mouse and having the revolutionary idea of using the numpad for movement and the surrounding keys for important Force powers. Because that was so much better than using the arrow keys.

No idea when I switched to WASD.

Wow, really strange. On my instance it shows millions and edited 10 seconds after it was posted. Maybe something wrong with the federation.

You wrote million instead of billion.

*5 billion

If you don’t want to go the Heroic route (you really should go the Heroic route) you can

1. download the offline installer from GoG
2. add the installer as a none-Steam-game to Steam
3. select Proton for compatibility
4. run the installer
5. add the installed game’s exe to Steam as a none-Steam-game
6. select Proton for compatibility

Trouble with that method is that Steam always creates a new Wine prefix (a kind of fake Windows drive) every time you run a new none-Steam-game with Proton. They can pile up and take unnecessary space away. It also makes it harder to install dependencies or mods or add ons.

So yeah, Heroic is the way.

Damn you must have an enormous water bill.

I wouldn’t hold my breath.
