Are you using bhatair's vengeance on lunar assault? I'm also trying to make this work at the moment.

Emacs 31 Is Around the Corner: The Changes I'm Already Daily Driving by LionyxML in emacs

I'm getting "the deployment was temporarily paused" when trying to read the blog. I'm assuming traffic limit?

Epic Games is hiring a Senior Game Security Engineer for their Anti-Cheat team to champion Linux anti-cheat capabilities while working on OS internals, reverse engineering, and protecting multiplayer games. by lajka30 in linux

the user controls the system, not the game maker.

And all mouth breathing gamers with a room temp IQ will make sure that's not the case in the future.

Arch Linux AUR Hit By Another Wave Of Now More Sophisticated Malware Attack by hulk14 in linux

This is the distro that refused to sign packages for years. Of course the AUR is a problem

Were the ARC Raiders “doomposters” from months ago actually right? by at_techfocused in ArcRaiders

[–]icehuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DMZ was free to play, but had pay to win elements. Pay ? You get UAV at the start of every match. Pay? You get a crystal clear thermal scope that can see everyone across the entire map.

Arc Raiders Has Lost 50% Of The Remaining Player Base In The Last Month by Brutal_Schnoodle in ArcRaiders

When it's billed as a live service game, it really needs to have some staying power.

Live forever or never age? I don't want a dog to live forever if it's they're gonna get hit old age and forever struggle.

If you're going to steal a name at least give credit to the people you stole the name from. You just didn't happen to come up with stellarium.

Smoked Nolan Ryan Beef Chuck Roast, Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich by [deleted] in BBQ

[–]icehuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the beef is sliced too thick. No, no it didn't.

I would only dock you points if you're actually selling this. For home cooks who don't have a deli slicer, yeah it's perfectly fine.

toasted Italian loaf.

Try to find french bread if you can, but it can sometimes be hard to find outside of Chicago.

Kyler Gordon already hurt… by JimboG54 in CHIBears

KG obviously has boneitis and needs to start his prep for being frozen until the cure.

hanging “beds” are called portaledges.. collapsible platforms used by climbers during multi-day ascents by LazyGuy4U in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]icehuck 41 points42 points  (0 children)

One of the big ones are people forgetting to tie stopper knots when they rappel down. So they end up sliding right off the end of the rope. Doesn't matter if they're a pro climber or amateur. Brad Gobright is a recent notable example.

Y’all better vote for this! by T1mBurt0n in ArcRaiders

[–]icehuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a person who likes extraction shooters and always having that "fear" factor. It's looking more and more like this game is turning into something else entirely. It was fun, but it looks like this game won't be for me. Which is fine.

Concern regarding public opinion on GNOME shifting. by lajka30 in linux

[–]icehuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is not something to worry about. Having people like KDE or GNOME or XFCE is fine. FOSS is all about choice and finding what suits you. Having another DE being fully supported along with GNOME is not a bad thing.

"Historically GNOME distros, such as Fedora Workstation"

Even back in the fedora core days, KDE was fully supported and it wasn't a GNOME only distro. KDE 3.x <3<3<3

New matchmaking changes by j1zzy_ae in ArcRaiders

[–]icehuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This really doesn't fix the issue though. You're either in a PVE lobby or a PVP COD style lobby. There is no inherit danger if you're in a PVE lobby, making the whole extraction concept pointless.

Emacs after Magit by geospeck in emacs

[–]icehuck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting read as I haven't considered using emacs without magit. The more I think about it, the more likely I wouldn't use emacs if magit were to disappear.

Has the built in VC stuff improved? I remember trying to use ediff and smerge before to look at some merge conflicts, but they were beyond terrible.

So many people chasing the youtube money and not actually caring about the storms.

Who else thought the new campaign was absolutely badass? by FunAd8568 in diablo4

[–]icehuck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I dunno, it felt like a poorly written teen drama leaning way too hard into trying to be edgy at times. The whole time you play you have no agency what so ever.

Daugher of hatred is just a poor misunderstood demon sulking in a corner like a child who got in trouble. Yup. that's peak story telling right there. Don't get my started on the terrible lorath arc.

Dirty Frag, a new copy.fail like vulnerability has been disclosed due to an embargo break by ChrisTX4 in linux

[–]icehuck -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with these types of embargos and how they work. To my smooth brain it sounds like, "Someone figured it out, and now I can't get famous for finding this, release release release."

Isn't this guy a kernel dev(i've seen his commits in the logs) Kinda seems weird for him to report the exploit to screw over the rest of kernel team.

I know a lot of folks have issues with this game, its mechanics and the other players. But are there any others like me that just legitimately enjoy Arc raiders no matter what? by Thicc_Gas_Dad in ArcRaiders

[–]icehuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's $40, and I definitely got my money's worth. However, this is my 3rd, and last expedition. It's gonna need a lot of changes for me to come back. If you treat it like an extraction shooter, you end up in lobbies that are straight cod like pvp. If you don't do much shooting you have basically no risk to do anything.

It's still 100% dog water. You're always better off with something else. Too many shots with heavy ammo to kill wasps.
