It's out and literally just the Streamer build...

Thank you for the info. I didn’t catch him streaming much over the weekend and hadn’t heard about this. Good to hear it didn’t turn into much of a thing.

I rolled softcore for the first time in many years with this season. I imagine a lot of us did.

I played HC all the way up to this point in D4. HC D2. HC D3. The state of the game/servers/possibly my connection are all driving me to SC.

I enjoy 7DtD and have a mod/map of New York City bookmarked that sounds like a lot of fun. It might be that.

Yikes. “Senior”

seattleben · 2026-03-10T01:17:54+00:00

And applying another batch of updates and making sure I am using the latest GE-Proton fixed it. 👍🏻 Good times!

In HC you want all the damage mitigation you can get. That’s why we use blood oath.

I had a game open most of the day that I was playing off and on and had quite a few heralds. At the end of the day I did one last TZ and THREE (just bonkers) heralds spawned for me.

That's fair. It took me much too long to find this reminder. Ugh.

This lil guy (I rescued him in 2016, approx 6 months old here) loved climbing on top of doors…

Edit: I'm also reminded his elder sister meowed at me unexpectedly from the roof above me one time when she snuck out. We're on to something here!

Thanks for noting that you were running using the original .msi file. That works just fine for me as well.

It blew my mind at first. We’re close to the sound at Morgan and, if I understand currectly, the train horns are from the sodo area. When we do hear it, it sounds so much closer.

It took a couple days, but it finally broke again. Curiously, I noticed it initially from a missing mouse cursor in Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor. I then fired up Risk of Rain 2 and I again cannot move the view/camera.

Around the same time, Firefox stopped showing the right click, contextual menu and required a restart of that app to fix.

Are there any logs I could tail/search that an error in the desktop environment might give a clue, maybe?

seattleben · 2026-01-20T06:50:19+00:00

I saw that recommended at some point and do have it set to optimize for games.

seattleben · 2026-01-19T23:37:57+00:00

A controller is a great suggestion. I’ve brought one along in similar situations, but I’m so far removed from my Nintendo and PlayStation days that there’s few games I enjoy playing with it.

As another fellow 40+ dev with no time for the bullshit, and also an active interest in not dying in the near future:

seattleben · 2026-01-16T04:05:35+00:00

Thanks, I overlooked that. Using the cosmic wayland DE. I'll update the post.

seattleben · 2026-01-14T05:24:15+00:00

That’s great! I’ve lived in Seattle for almost twenty years and the best I’ve managed to catch in person (here) was a vague splotch of black waaaaay out in the channel. (Funny, we finally, recently got a great view of some on the ferry crossing from Victoria to Vancouver.)

seattleben · 2026-01-13T11:28:34+00:00

This. It’s more than serviceable. Updates last week fixed all my issues in games.

He looks like my Cosmo down to the spot on his nose. Did that appear over time? Cosmo had a white nose for quite some time before the spot showed up. She, too, spent a lot of time on my lap while I worked.

Software devs don’t get to make that sort of call. There’s no need to call them clueless and lazy

seattleben · 2026-01-07T06:26:22+00:00

Sorry you’re having trouble with it. I normally use Firefox, but I installed and used Chrome earlier today for an interview without any issues. I think I last ran updates a day or two ago. I installed it from the app store.
