Haven’t run into this personally, but most of my gaming on Linux these days is on the Steam Deck without anything particularly interesting going on storage-wise.

It’d probably help with debugging if you add the distro you are using into the text of your post. Also, how are you launching the games? (Steam? Lutris? Heroic? Something else?)

For RE4 specifically, Steam has it listed as “Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: The Enigma Protector”, so you might be running into some shittiness from DRM on that one, perhaps?

If you’re running on Fedora or related distros, check your system logs to see if SELinux is complaining about anything. Sometimes the security features are overzealous.

Best of luck!

Haven’t played it personally, but discussions on VNDB suggest it’s an average to good nukige.

Those tiny guys are cute compared to this horror from Hawaii:

You gotta make sure to shake out your shoes before putting them on and check your sheets before getting in bed if you live around those guys…

Looking back through your history, that’s a post by a user local to your instance. You can see it because you’re on the same instance.

If I understand how federation works correctly, posts don’t go directly to the instance a community is on when they are made. They are created locally on your own instance, and then federate out if/when they can. Since you’re both on the same instance, you can see the post and interact with it, but the post and your comments are (presumably) stuck in a queue trying to federate to the now defunct instance. Since lemm.ee is gone, it can’t federate out, so other people don’t see the post/comment on their instance.

I think that’s what’s going on.

You put works like Mushoku Tensei, Steins;Gate 0, 5cm Per Second, Re:Zero in your Good to Great tiers. Frieren has some similar aspects and might land in a similar range for you. Seems a bit odd to reject it without even trying it just because it’s popular.

BlueSky uses AT Protocol which is similar to how you break things down: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_Protocol

I recently managed to get a physical copy of Evangelion. Most of the discs work, so I’m watching through the series now for the first time. The only disc that didn’t work when I tested them is the one that has something called “Evangelion:Death(True)2” and the End of Evangelion movie plus some bonus content – this is an AACS issue rather than physical damage so there’s hope that I can watch it eventually, just… not now.

I was told that the ending theme has been changed. The copy I have has an instrumental piano piece instead of the various “Fly Me To The Moon” versions on animethemes. It’s not clear to me what the title of the ending piece on my copy is, and the version on my discs isn’t listed there.

I was expecting some weird stuff from this show, naturally – the later parts of it are infamous for that, even though I don’t know exactly what I’ll encounter yet – but, even still, the casual presence of the penguin was a surprise.

Should be trivial to set up something like that if you’ve got parts you want to work with. Any desktop with an automatic background switcher should be able to cycle through images in a directory you specify on a timer. Set up your favorite remote access software (SSH, Samba, NFS …) and you’re done. If you want more control over the behavior, you could script up something custom with a little more effort – but it’s still not particularly hard to implement something like that.

Watch out for burn in on the screen if you’re leaving it on all the time.

Are you trying to write your own parsers for these formats or something like that? I don’t think I really get the issue you’re running into.

If you want to just display formatted text (esp. including HTML), you can use a browser (either as an embedded widget in a custom app, via an Electron app, or in a regular browser via an HTTP server) and generate the output on the fly. You don’t need to save the converted output if it’s fast enough to generate…

the contents of these tickets need to be encrypted at rest

If that’s the actual requirement – i.e encrypted at rest – then store the database on an encrypted volume instead of encrypting the messages themselves inside the DB. It will likely be more performant, and much, much easier to both implement and maintain while still providing good security.

Instances go down a lot – often permanently. e.g. kbin.social, lemm.ee, etc.

When an instance goes down, it takes out all the user accounts and communities on it, and it’s hit or miss if you can find copies of the posts on other instances.

Demons Roots is probably the best RPG Maker game I’ve played that was actually playable as an RPG. (So, not counting things like To The Moon which other people have already mentioned.)

I wasn’t a fan of most of the sexual content in Demons Roots, but taking the whole thing as basically a giant love letter to fucked up doujinshi stories – i.e. to unpolished indie writing with wild genre bending plot twists in addition to the hentai stuff – I can accept it for what it is. The game has that RPGMaker wabi-sabi; it’s not especially well-crafted software… but the combat was OK (unlike a lot of indie RPGs), the music was good – a mix of original and mostly well chosen asset packs (I still listen to some of it occasionally!), and, without getting into spoilers, it did a couple of very memorable things…

By “legacy” they probably mean that they work with the older process technologies, not that the fab itself is old:

The acquisition includes an existing 300 mm fab cleanroom of 300,000 square feet and will further position Micron to address growing global demand for memory solutions

In its May 2024 ’Hooray, we’re open!’ announcement, PSMC said it invested more than NT$300 billion (US$9.5 billion) on the facility, and that it had capacity to produce 50,000 12-inch wafers per month under 55, 40 and 28 nanometer technology nodes.

Those kinds of chips are still very useful for things like cars and washing machines and such where you don’t need bleeding edge chip tech.

Most games have trophies designed by some corporate drone and consist of a handful of trophies giving for completing the storyline and the rest for token actions that you’ll inevitably do while playing.

Those are basically just publicly accessible analytics for how far people typically get in a game.
