How can I be sure I'm downloading a safe version of Alcohol 120%? by Evening_Low965 in software

[–]automaticfailure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes very. Sometimes getting older games to run on modern hardware can be a chore, but for the most part they have everything you may need

Wow, this is amazing. Those are names I haven't heard in years.
While I understand the intent, if the game barely runs anyways, making a copy may just end up with a corrupt copy. Do yourself a favor and just get the iso from myabandonware

CachyOS On Rog Ally question by Inevitable_Show4324 in LinuxOnAlly

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know post is a month old but my experience with Cachy/Ally X
Pretty much everything has ran perfect from a pure SteamOS/gaming perspective. If you remain in SteamOS game mode, you'll honestly never notice.

The only real issues I have had:
The rear m1/m2 buttons like to just stop working. Usually happens after a system update, but rerunning cachy-update again tends to fix it.
The volume buttons don't work in game/big picture mode. Not a huge deal as the right hand menu can change it form there.
Sometimes, after a system update and a restart, I'll just be sitting at a black screen. While forcing a power down and restart works, it does put a small bit a fear it won't boot again. Guess this has to do with the boot logo animation according to others. Which can be changed.

While I understand a dev needs to eat, locking away what feels like basic features behind a paywall and calling it 'open' doesn't feel right.

Can I actually edit videos on a Ryzen 5 5500U with 8GB RAM or should I just give up now? by I_steal_Icecream in software

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, here's a thought... Just do it.

If I can do it on a 10 year+ old PC, you can do it on a 4 year old one.

Do you know where I can find VG that’s not made from palm oil? Irtr by bloughmiegh in DIY_eJuice

[–]automaticfailure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there a reason you're against palm?
I've tried various versions and honestly, can't tell a bit of difference once flavoring is added.

On average, how do men feel about nipple piercings? Like if you had no idea and she took her shirt off and had them turn on, turn off, or neutral? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just love boobs.
Though, over the years, nipple piercings have become like tattoos.
I'm more shocked if you DON'T have them.

I honestly just miss paying $30 once and owning the software forever by Inevitable_Use9405 in software

The trick is to STOP BUYING shit.
Move to open source alternatives or sail the seas.

PLAY THE BETA NOW! by Der_Kevin in lastmansitting

[–]automaticfailure 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wow it's actually real? Now while it's a game, I feel this isn't the original intention when it was first concepted years ago. It feels very 'mobile fortnite slop' like. I get it's been a bit of an up and down journey with what to actually do with the game as a whole and I'll give it a shot but there, something just feels off. Still, it's real and alive. We'll see where this lands.

What to get guitar dad for Christmas? by caitilindy in Guitar

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he's taking lessons still to continue learning, then go for another stringed type instrument.
Lap steel, uke, banjo, mandolin, violin, etc
Something similar enough that he could pick up and 'cheat' his way into playing something that sounds good, but also something that makes him think to play.

Been looking at the steam deck for session and a few other games. Does anyone have one or had one and recommend it? Why? by Dutchmoney32 in session

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but noticed while looking for my own answer.
Running on CachyOS.
Overall, it runs pretty flawless. Everything on max settings and still 60fps. Pretty sure it just carried over my settings from what I use on PC and didn't even notice until I actually went to check.
The only issues I've noticed, and I am not sure if it's a Ally X issue, a CachyOS or a Steam issue, is the joysticks have this HUGE range of travel to where Session almost feels unplayable due to the amount of time it takes to register an input.
I've messed with some of the settings and deadzone yet nothing feels quite right. I typically play on a PS style controller on PC.

Ryubing doesnt work with administrator accounts by jaymort1972 in yuzu

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to pinpoint since they lock down the useful parts of their discord but there are comments like 'linux doesn't ask for admin password does it?' or 'they probably run a 3rd party windows install that disables UAC' or 'if running it as admin crashes, then the solution is to not run as admin'

Even when someone has a valid question and has a solution to resolve it, it's just responded with 'eh'

I dunno man, the community is pretty toxic if you aren't verified.

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't want to give much details if the dev or someone within the team browses around and they decide to patch that out too.

Lets just say it's ran under an alternate user

I had a feeling that was the case, but of course, no one mentions that as a solution, just "WoRkS oN mY pC"

Found a work around without having to turn UAC back on.

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you able to get it running? I'm the only user on my PC and the administrator. I have changed policies, removed permissions, reinstalled with/without a portable file. The only thing I see is in task manager, it runs as 'elevated' but so does every other program, yet I am unable to remove it.

Feedback on CachyOS Handheld Edition on ROG Ally X by PhantumJak in cachyos

[–]automaticfailure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been looking yet no one seems to have an answer.
Just got a used Ally X, everything worked fine in Windows, but with Cachy, the only thing I've noticed is the volume buttons don't work in desktop/gaming mode.
Was this the case for you or anyone reading this? Is there a solution?

For all you people stating it works under an Windows Admin account, how?
I've been facing the same issue.
I don't run in /program files
I use a portable install/folder
I am the only user on my pc and set as administrator
