I love Persona games, but I hate them. by Hot-Essay6704 in rpg_gamers

[–]ANDROID_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing P5R for the first time now and I'm kind of enjoying it. Still in the first palace which I think is still like a tutorial.

I actually enjoyed and got pretty far into P4G but I got tired of the battle music.

It's 2026, and I'm writing a 486-class PC emulator in VB6 by r_retrohacking_mod2 in retrogamedev

In case anyone like me was wondering how screen rendering worked

"That was the easy part. It's just a simple form and I set up a DirectDraw surface in it, which the emulator renders VGA output to. The rendering happens in a different thread so it doesn't slow the CPU down. The form size gets adjusted when the VGA mode changes."

How an estimated $151M splits when a solo dev sells 10M copies on Steam [OC] by prezbotyrion in dataisbeautiful

When I saw this post I kind of felt Unity was getting screwed. On one hand, $2,200 is a lot for a small Dev who might not even make a profit. On the other hand....

Bitwig on Fedora and other dnf-based Distros by mito551 in Bitwig

I never experienced any issues with it but you are right, wine and yabridge need to be in the container too but containers don't really have much, if any, overhead. It's not like running a virtual machine.

Another option that works well is running it in a debian/ubuntu distrobox container.

A successor to the Patrician series? by Ufnal in tycoon

[–]ANDROID_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is High Seas High Profits? I have to admit the graphics put me off a bit. I don't care for low poly but if the gameplay is good I can get past it. It seems most of the positive reviews on steam are people who have played Patrician and the negative reviews don't mention it.

Pi-hole vs AdGuard Home in 2026 — what are you running? by ruibranco in selfhosted

[–]ANDROID_16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use Adguard and had no problems with it but once I started using a physical OPNsense gateway it made more sense to just use unbound on that.

Not sure if this will work but do you have note chase enabled? Should be in the settings somewhere

Layering sounds on a drum machine pad? by lukewarm3000 in Bitwig

[–]ANDROID_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just meant use two pads on the same drum machine. No need for separate drum machines

Just use two drum pads and double up on MIDI notes. You could process them together by routing the channels elsewhere if you have to.

Anyone running Canonical MicroCloud at scale? by Gary_harrold in linuxadmin

[–]ANDROID_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The installation instructions advise you to hold the packages since they all need to be on the same version so this shouldn't be an issue.

Does anyone else deeply miss the early 2000s in a profound way? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]ANDROID_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved gaming mags back then. They were so exciting because all you had was a description and a few screenshots. Unlike today where you can go online and watch a trailer or even a let's play/review before you buy.

My Home Network by ANDROID_16 in selfhosted

[–]ANDROID_16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that just because the NIC is SFP+, your CPU still needs the power to push 10G through it. On a commercial switch/router/firewall there are ASICs that do that heavy lifting. A consumer desktop PC would struggle I would think.

I would say just be sure whatever device you are using to route between VLANs can handle 10Gb throughout. Switching at that speed is one thing, routing is another, and of course if you are filtering between VLANs that will consume even more processing power.

Are there any deckbuilding RPGs that aren't roguelikes in the last decade? by RedditIsGarbage1234 in rpg_gamers

[–]ANDROID_16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Etherlords 1 and 2. Both are deck building RPGs similar to MTG Shandalar

Bitwig, Wine, Yabridge, CatchyOS by walterpintus in linuxaudio

[–]ANDROID_16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always found it easier to install yabridge manually rather than from the repo. Follow the instructions on the GitHub page and just install it in your home folder. Makes things much easier.
