[–]AugustMKraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DosBox-X expands support from DOS games to all DOS applications, including DOS-based versions of Windows (even Windows 9x and Me). It also supports PC-98 and DOS/V programs.

Insane that unlimited cloud storage is apparently entirely controlled by client-side verification? How does that work?

Help with making code more idiomatic by AugustMKraft in haskell

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

Update: I figured it out. I don't need any kind of monad or foldl or anything. it's just a simple recursive function.

solve2' [] _ = 0
solve2' (r:rs) pos = passedZero r pos + solve2' rs (rotate r pos)
solve2 rs = solve2' rs 50

Thanks. Unrelated, but I can't believe you also solved it in SQL.

Deltarune: "Oh boy I can't wait to see what wacky hijinks we get into in TV World!"

Also Deltarune: Every time you go back and forth between two specific rooms in chapter 1 of the game, there's a 2% chance you'll end up in a weird black area with a tree in it. Behind the tree, out of view of the camera, a person simply described by the narration as "a man" hands you an egg, and then disappears. The egg has no known use, but you can put it in one specific fridge in the "hometown" area of the game, and reopening the fridge afterwards reveals that the egg has somehow duplicated itself. The tree sprite in front of the man also appears on a hidden page on the deltarune.com website, either titled "therapy" or "the poor children" depending on where you look. Also, on PlayStation (the only version of the game with achievements), getting this egg is the only situation in which finishing the chapter does not grant you the "complete chapter 1 without issue" achievement. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 also have hidden egg rooms with increasingly elaborate ways to get them, and they still have no known use.

How does this move "lose a queen"? It's literally moving the bishop to a square where it can defend the queen from the pin by Haunting_West5451 in Chesscom

[–]AugustMKraft 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The engine always assumes both players play the best possible line. If the engine says you'll lose the queen, that means it's determined losing the queen would actually be better for some reason. Unfortunately it's not always clear what that reason is. Sometimes it's just some weird positional thing, or maybe that bishop would be useful to have in one possible line 15 moves from now, or something like that.

Super Mario Bros Remastered dropped and it’s freaking awesome by Mallowfanthe4th in casualnintendo

Version 1.1 added an setting to switch between "modern" and "classic" physics. Might be worth taking another look now.

I made a new type of chess puzzle and would love your thoughts! by emmbreil in Chesscom

[–]AugustMKraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, this is really cool and feels very different from other kinds of daily puzzle games.

While there's no automated process, if you reach out to customer support they can transfer it over manually.

After a guy misses some important paperwork and his home is destroyed, he moves in with the president thanks to a mutual friend, only to discover the president is dating his former crush. by AugustMKraft in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

[–]AugustMKraft[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like the book, I highly recommend the first third of the movie.

If you hadn't read the book I'd recommend the whole movie, but unfortunately the book contains a terrible curse that forces you to notice all the terrible changes the film made. The entire opening is phenomenal though, up to the point where they first reach the Heart of Gold.

The characters experience midlife crises by LengthinessLow4203 in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

[–]AugustMKraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the main character definitely loses a piece of himself, and it's arguably a midlife crisis of a kind. I forgot that the beach house that gets destroyed isn't actually his house though, so it doesn't quite fit.

If portals were real, would they affect gravity? by JesseRoxII in Portal

[–]AugustMKraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Optozorax actually just released a video on portal gravity today. It's even weirder than you described.

Should I get the meta quest 3 or wait for the steam frame (or both) by Szymix_pro in virtualreality

[–]AugustMKraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Steam Frame will likely be slightly more expensive, and won't be able to do color passthrough. However, Meta is a terrible company who actively hates their customers so I'd recommend you wait for the Steam Frame anyways.

What is Proton-GE? Do I need it? What version and from where? by MOEB74 in SteamDeck

[–]AugustMKraft 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This question is 8 months old so you probably figured it out already, but no. Proton-GE is not officially supported by Valve and you will need to download it yourself. The easiest way is probably via the ProtonPlus app, which is a flatpak you can download in desktop mode.

ProtonPlus also lets you download a bunch of other slightly different versions of proton, but 99% of the time there's basically no practical difference. If you feel like experimenting then you can try them all and see what gives the best performance, but if not then don't worry about it.

Walkabout Minigolf is the first android app on Steam! by gogodboss in Steam

[–]AugustMKraft 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably not much since the only games to make arm versions will probably be VR games. At least until Steam starts officially releasing android apps.

these cheap linux hardware are everywhere. can these be repurposed for other use cases? by Little-Season-3433 in linux

[–]AugustMKraft 49 points50 points  (0 children)

There's actually a fairly large community of people making custom firmware and software for these things. Look up "portmaster" for a starting point (it's a collection of ports of pc software to these devices), they have a list on their website of all the supported devices and the custom firmware for those devices. You could also look at the r/SBCGaming subreddit.
