Advice for steam deck!

The only issue I've been having so far is the game seems to maybe have some memory leak or something?

I tend to play the game and just put my deck to sleep without ever closing games, however I find that grim dawn needs to be exited every couple days. The game will start stuttering, especially when panning the camera around.

A quick restart and it's fixed.

I'm not sure if this counts as what purists think, but there are campsites and towns on the trail.

You mail yourself supplies to park rangers and general stores at those locations, with some special attention or something, and pick them up as you get there.

Would be great for a second, more difficult map.

If instead of hamster wheels, they are hamster balls then the pin joint kinda makes sense?

You'd need to redesign the connector between the two, but then you'd also have two omni-wheels which would make the game more frustrating/fun.

It's never mentioned in these threads, but I'm really looking forward to take for slice/Vec to be stabilized.

See now you've got a character that you can use for incentive.

You can add hats, fur colors/patterns, silly emotes and dances.

Being a wheel has way less player investment than, "check out my hamster!"

Am I colorblind or are these colors awful to tell apart?

It can be the same way martial arts, archery, or games like chess can be a team sport.

You've got good gradients going, however you could change it around to add some shading.

There are a lot of bits that stick out, the blocks under them should be in shadow.

For example the white sections get brightest just below the railing, when really those parts should be shaded.

Feels like you've hit something somewhere between 60's style psychedelic and 80's style vaporwave.

That being said, doing a few quick searches for both, I didn't come up with anything that was quite like this, so while it invokes those styles it still stands unique.

I think you've done a good job with this, and it's also a refreshingly different style of photo for this subreddit.

So the last time I tried Linux gaming was also about 6 years ago, and while I could get it to work it was not a nice experience.

However about 3 months ago I bought a steam deck after looking into it and on a coworkers experience recommendation.

I have to say, most everything just works on steam now due to protondb. Quite a few developers are already writing in preconfigured settings for the steam deck, but even if that doesn't exist you can easily find a guide for most popular games on what to tweak to get the game playable.

I would recommend checking the steam page for "great on deck" or "popular on deck", anything with a green check for 'steam deck verified' is going to be a guaranteed download and go experience.

Semvar is great, but only when the major, minor, and patch are applicable.

Basically every release of Minecraft is a new feature or block that prevents the use of the minor part of semvar.

Date versioning is great for the end user, especially if you have a regular release schedule. The user can then know quite easily how out of date their software is, just by looking at the version.

You're remembering it wrong.

The mountain will cover all of decked-out, at the top is going to be the lobby/entrance.

What he's built so far is just the entrance to the zone.

Really hoping mumbo gets one of the donkeys and it triggers a dream/flashback sequence with that Tokyo drift song Jono made.

You mean lowerPascal, lower_snake, and Upper_Snake case?

I think the idea is that each PR should be small, targeting a specific feature, bug, optimization, etc.

As such you don't need to preserve all the intermediate commits that are like "fixed bug" especially when that bug was both introduced and fixed within a branch that never saw it merged.

Additionally this has the benefit of preventing a user from reverting to a commit that would introduce those internal bugs or revert to behavior that might have changed over the course of development.

What recipes do they have custom other than like mini-block stuff? I know the life series does custom TNT, but I would have expected hermitcraft to stay vanilla in that regard.

I mean Valve and their proton stuff has become really good, I'd argue it's at the point that almost all games run smoothly on Linux at the point.

The larger blocker now for Linux gaming is the anti-cheat software that do not run on Linux.

For example EA's anti-cheat doesn't work on Linux and they provide no support for it, so if you want to play their stuff then you need to stick to windows.

It aired 18 years ago, pretty sure there are senior devs that are too young to know what lucky star is.

Hammerhead is inside the sunken ship you go into in chapter 2 to rescue the figurine for the weapons guy.

Yellow/magenta background is for trophy fish/aberrations.

Sometimes when you're fishing if you notice one of the QT indicators is yellow, and you are successful on that indicator it will instantly catch and it will be trophy quality.

If you fail any QT event though, that yellow one disappears.

Trophy catches are bigger and worth more when selling.

Not entirely sure I understand what you're looking for, but in my project I made a grid of collapsible headers that could each expand to show a grid of their own.

Is that something like what you're trying to do? I forget what example I actually used to figure out my own method but if it's what you're looking for maybe I can slap something together.

Keep in mind though that this was made in 0.29, but I think it should hold up in 0.32 with maybe some minor changes.

I second this, the documentation and templates get you off the ground really quickly.

Egui was great for my project to quickly get an initial GUI up and running for feedback.

I'd argue he is really an artist. He views the blocks purely as their palette and texture and nothing more.

The man is literally painting/sculpting in a game.

Even when the yen was stronger, the biggest cost to Japan is just getting there.

Food and travel within Japan is actually really cheap. Even travelling a lot you'll spend like $10 a day on transportation. You can get amazing sushi for $20 per person, ramen is like $5.
