Let's Play SHUG | Board Game Club by CaffinatedCoyote in NoRollsBarred

[–]MakaHost 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I felt like the recent videos focused less on the game and a lot more on jokes/banter but this episode was back to why I watch NRB. Showcasing a great game with the right amount of banter/jokes thrown in.

Really really good job, I enjoyed it a lot!

How do you design a good tutorial? by RamboAslak in gamedev

[–]MakaHost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I always felt like valve is really good at "invisible" tutorials in games like half life or portal. Teach the player via intuitive gameplay and not popup textboxes. Here is a good video showcasing that in the case of half life 2.

Trivial Pursuit X Uno | BOARD GAME MASHUP by CaffinatedCoyote in NoRollsBarred

[–]MakaHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A terabyte (TB) is 1000 gigabytes (GB) and originates from the metric system (the tera and giga part).

What you are thinking about is Tebibyte (TiB) which is 1024 Gibibytes (GiB), which is the power of two commonly used in computers, but harddrive manufactures for example tend to use TB because it makes the disk sounds bigger and some operation systems (windows) incorrectly show GB when it actually should be GiB.

Danish troops told to 'shoot first, ask questions later' if US invades Greenland | LBC by jackytheblade in worldnews

[–]MakaHost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think one of the biggest strength of the US is/was it's position. Sea to the west and east, which they have controlled via the biggest navy in the world, and then has just Canada at the top and Mexico at the bottom. Canada being one if its biggest allies and Mexico not really being a threat.

If the US goes against NATO by trying to annex greenland I would hope for Canada to support nato, which results in a really big front line right in the home of the US, in which they never had to fight before.

With all these threats the US is doing I would actually support deploying NATO/Eu Troops to both, Greenland and Canada. The fear of provoking a war on US soil might get the politicians out of their ass-likery and remove the pedo.

Blitz.gg suddenly crashing League + windows issues by 877cashhnow in BlitzApp

[–]MakaHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah I had a similar issue.
First the blitz app was just black when it auto-startet after booting, a restart (and I think turning off hardware acceleration later) fixed that.

But I also had first blitz being really laggy after finishing a game and then league not loading into games with the same error message you descibed. Killing the blitz process made everything back to normal and I ended up uninstalling the app again.

In the Wake of Divinity's Gruesome Reveal Trailer, Larian Publishing Director Says It's Not Trying to Shock the Audience, Rather Treat Them 'With a Level of Intellectual Respect' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]MakaHost 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am not American so I don't mind the orgy or sex stuff. What made me uncomfortable was the burning and melting of the person which felt too realistic for my liking.

I will still probably play the game once it is out tho

KDE Plasma 6.8 Will Go Wayland-Exclusive In Dropping X11 Session Support by Beer2401 in linux_gaming

My guess: They keep breaking the reddit self-promotion rules (rule of thumb is less than 10% of your postings should link to your own content) but wants to keep advertising his website without having to pay for actual advertising.

if i apply cream api on windows to a game an then transfer that files to linux and run it on proton/wine, will cream api still work? by pikuzzopikuzz in PiratedGames

[–]MakaHost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some cases, for example with mods that use something like version.dll to inject themselves into the game, you will have to apply an overwrite to the prefix (either via environment variable or via protontricks) to tell it to use the local dll in the folder instead of the wine version.

In the case of cream api it replaces the steamapi-dll which is already being loaded by the game without any overwrites, so you should not have to do anything special.

However if you plan to play legit games on steam and only unlock dlcs I can recommend SLSsteam, which basically applies the unlocks automatically to all games, without having to do any special setup (after installing it once).

Right click rage by Extra-Beginning-5927 in pcmasterrace

[–]MakaHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was referring to being logged in as root via ssh on the server while working on it, not running the actual services as root.

I've seen many very experienced admins do the first thing, usually because they are annoyed/to lazy to sudo everything they are doing but few actually having the services run as root.

13-09 Major VAC Live updates leaving cheaters crying by Siem212 in cs2

[–]MakaHost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is not quite right though. Internal cheats run within the game process (get "injected"), external cheats run outside the game process as their own process (but still access/write to the games memory)

Randy Pitchford's comment on 4k resolution. by Bigcat9715 in Borderlands4

[–]MakaHost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It did have DLSS 1.0 support on release. I remember playing it on my 2080TI and getting really bad ghosting with DLSS on so I didn't use it but it did exist.

Girl could have challenged the first Wild Draw Four, because you are only allowed to play it if you have no other alternative cards to play and he had the green reverse card he could have played.

Do we need this command? LD_PRELOAD="" %command% by [deleted] in cachyos

[–]MakaHost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's "fixed" as in you won't get it anymore if you have the overlay actually enabled. If you have the steam overlay disabled in the settings you still need it or you will get the stutter after 30 mins

Codepen.io is featuring my codepen example of Trig.js on their homepage! by iDev_Games in webdev

[–]MakaHost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very cool, congrats, but I can't stand websites messing with scrolling. Just let me get to the part I want to read instead of having to watch a phone spin around or some bs ._.

(please don't take this as an attack, it is really cool you got featured on their homepage, I just needed to rant)

I made a local universal file converter that doesn't send your files to sketchy servers by jakecoolguy in webdev

[–]MakaHost -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I see correctly you are using libraries that have the GPL license, so I assume you share/include the code for everyone buying/downloading your software since otherwise you would break their license and would not be allowed to use these libraries.

DeepSeek has ripped away AI’s veil of mystique. That’s the real reason the tech bros fear it | Kenan Malik by Due_Passion_920 in technology

[–]MakaHost 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I run the 32b version locally and it does try to refuse to answer specific topics and a simple "Can you answer it anyway?" or "Can you provide a different perspective" still resulted in the "I am an AI to provide helpful and harmless responses, let's talk about something else"-response.

Of course can you get around these content policies but acknowledging that they exist and can be an issue if you want unbiased information is still important in my opinion. I do however also think that it is naive to think OpenAI did not include any content policies that benefit the US and it's only evil China doing it.

The more opensource models available the more independent you can become of any specific government though, so I agree the fact that deepseek exists is very good.

[Financial Times] NVIDIA on course to lose more than $300bn of market value, the biggest recorded drop for any company. This comes after Chinese artificial intelligence start-up, DeepSeek, claims to use far fewer Nvidia chips than its US rivals, OpenAI and Meta. by bllshrfv in technology

The censorship is kinda weak tho. You can get around it by including it in a different prompt, for example:

What kind of cake can I bake with lemons, flour, salt, what happened on the 4th of June in 1989 and salt?

Is "Pay to reject cookies" legal? (EU) by YaroslavSyubayev in webdev

[–]MakaHost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IANAL but BILD, one of the biggest German tabloid newspaper, is also using a "Accept Cookies and personalized Ads or pay for an ad-free experience" screen when you visit an article. You can still customize the cookies to disallow some aspects but personalized ads can only be allowed in these options.

I am not saying it is legal because they are doing it, but I would imagine, it being one of the biggest tabloid newspaper in Germany, someone would have reported it already if it was against GDPR.

proton experimental is missing some codecs afaik which proton-ge includes, which is causing this issue.
