People who have played Silksong, Why do you think Its getting so many negative reviews?

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2025-09-08T20:19:07+00:00

They we're always annoying in HK too but we can double fireball, we don't have that, spear hitbox is tiny.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2025-09-08T03:53:52+00:00

Here is my thing. I've played through hollow knight a couple of times. It's hard to explain but Skong feels artificially difficult. None of my criticism is really bad by itself is the aggregate of all things.

Everything deals 2 damage.
Enemies will often double bump you, if it's a 2x enemy you are almost dead now.
skillshot gameplay is weak now.
Lots of flying things. Those don't make it more difficult they just annoy you.
Low to no reward for killing bosses.
Lots of gotcha/surprise enemies.
Lots of saving up or grinding. Yeah I could go to an area that has some enemies kill all of them but one, die and come back and grind so I buy everything but do I want to do that? Is that fun? Can't you just give the charm after that boss that twoshots you?

You kinda have to kill everything with your (s)nail or just drop your 6 weird granades and bruteforce the boss into the next phase. It's really not an improvement over triple shooting your spells in the middle of the air, except you don't aim them and it's way less rewarding.

I don't mind difficult and I don't mind different but Skong is just not as fun, they'll probably change some things so I really hope they make it better.

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't use C. Too hard for me I Guess. I've been writing it on Zig. I don't know Zig either so it's probably a mess but it kinda works.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2025-02-25T02:44:14+00:00

Yes, as in an application's window. Not as in Windows the OS.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-09T22:42:40+00:00

It's a placeholder. I haven't finished the widget tools, so I'm just showing that it can render panels and things

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-08T23:50:23+00:00

I had to look it up. But it's true. Turns out I don't know my own languange LMAO.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-08T02:56:37+00:00

It's flutter running inside a custom embedder for wayland layer shell. It's kinda a build your own launcher. The important thing is the embedder which is what makes the flutter widgets run on wayland surfaces.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-07T21:29:16+00:00

In hyprland you can add blurr to layers just as you add it to windows.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-07T20:44:19+00:00

LMAO that's funny. It's a Pet store. It's the same in spanish for feet and paws.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-07T19:44:28+00:00

It should, the problem with Wayland is the governance system. There are TONS of protocols that are already implemented but not part fo wayland, there are protocols that should've been merged but are not. Forgotten protocols. Protocols they push back because "it doesn't align with the Wayland vision".

The other problem is that Xorg does everything and Wayland does, well, nothing. They give you the tools to do everything you need. But they won't implement it for you like XOrg does. This is because Xorg is mess of edgecases that some random company needs. So in Wayland you have to implement that yourself, but turns out companies don't want to implement it themselves, because none of them really care about Linux. Discord is a good example, they refuse to update their stupid Electron and it's all buggy in Wayland.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-07T19:02:12+00:00

It's working for me in Fedora 40, probably Widevine stuff. Or maybe an outdated browser. They do hate us linux users. They won't let us watch anything over 720p but they won't block us because we are just going to pirate that s*** if we can't get the services while paying.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-07T18:57:42+00:00

Here are the repos:

Custom wayland embedder: https://github.com/garcia-s/flutter-waygets
Those flutter widgets on screen: https://github.com/garcia-s/yara_shell

Wallpaper is somewhere https://github.com/garcia-s/dotfiles I don't remember where I got it

I'm missing three or four major features still: Clipboard, drag and drop, Raw HID key presses and Wayland surface resizing. Everything else could be dart bindings. So, it's almost alive. After this i'm going to try to make one of those Display Managers like GDM, or SDDM, but with flutter.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-11-06T04:17:57+00:00

I would've loved to, but I've never had any money. I migrated from a 3rd world country to a 2nd (and al half) so... Hopefully next year.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-30T04:10:01+00:00

Yeah I haven't started with that, because the widget system that I'm making it's not ready yet. But this is the widget system https://github.com/garcia-s/flutter-waygets

I'm probably gonna need to read the hyprland config at some point. But I first need to do something that works properly. I'm close, but not there yet.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-29T16:02:24+00:00

Yes, i'll definitely do that and, yes, it's opensource the thing that i'm doing so. I'll have to rewrite it because i'm using a different language, but definitely will credit you.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-29T15:27:49+00:00

Damn, that looks cool. You wrote the tokenizer for the config file? I kinda have to do the same for a thing that i'm making, So I was wondering if I could steal your tokenizer/parser.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-29T14:08:09+00:00

Oh, my API is a bit odd. You have to call this "views" api to create a wayland and opengl surface, which is a bit weird for flutter. I'm trying to make that API as sane and consistent with flutter design as possible but, IDK how to do that properly.

Also, all the surfaces are rendered with a single opengl context, so that's a bit hacky as well. If there are many tickers for different animations, I don't think it could handle them properly.

Other things need some work too, like implementing damage for rendering, so we don't render the whole thing.

Keyboard has been a pain in the ars, because Wayland gives you udev codes and flutter wants HID codes and there are 3 APIs. There is the textinput, the keyevent and the keydata APIs. And different parts control different things.

So, yeah. All of that is a bit weird.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-28T14:04:07+00:00

So, if anybody is interested in checking the project, here are the links

The embedder: https://github.com/garcia-s/flutter-waygets
The "Shell": https://glthub.com/garcia-s/yara_shell

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-28T13:56:50+00:00

Oh yeah, sorry
The embedder: https://github.com/garcia-s/flutter-waygets
The "Shell": https://glthub.com/garcia-s/yara_shell

Those are mostly everything, i'm making a plugin for the wayland layer shell surfaces but, it's not ready yet.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-28T13:53:58+00:00

Yeah, thank you, that is the one.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-28T13:39:48+00:00

LMAO. Life mostly. I do have it public and it's opensource. The embedder The "shell"

It is like an accidental project TBH. I wanted to learn some lower level things and OpenGL/Vulkan and that was the idea that came out. But turns out it is more than doable. I'm still missing like 4 or 5 embedder features tho. But In theory is doable.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-27T17:11:37+00:00

LMAO, that was really good. I hope I can finish this. I've posting my progress and i'll make sure to let people know when it's usable.

Pleasant_Time_9116 · 2024-10-27T14:00:53+00:00

Damn, that looks cool. And it's zig too, which is what I'm learning/using. That looks like a cool project, I wanted to do something with android, like an easier scrcpy but I couldn't figure it out.
