No kidding! I was just thinking this morning that my Mastodon feed has gone bonkers lately and it is getting harder to keep up! I suppose that is a good problem to have but I only follow a few tags. I am, however, enjoying Mastodon way more than I ever did twitter.

Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

I really enjoyed XVI. It is not without its problems but overall is a good addition to the series IMHO. I replayed XV as well after not caring for it on my first playthrough. I ended up really liking it the second time around. The story isn’t the best but the game shines in the personal interactions between the characters while you are wandering around and stuff. A lot of the story is really told indirectly through that and I came to appreciate it. Just my thoughts.

Can you tell me how the ! Commands work? Where do I put them? Search? I am on kbin if it matters.

I was so mad about AB….until Apollo came along

I still can't bring myself to delete it. It just sits there on my phone, all sad.

I have an LG that is a couple years old. Never connected it to the Internet and don’t intend to but have wondered about firmware updates for it. I am afraid of an update adding ads or something else I don’t want. What is your experience? Or is there a resource that details everything (and I mean everything) that the updates change?

Please forgive my ignorance. I don't see this in the app store, how do I get it? Would LOVE a decent app for kbin! (I am a reddit/Apollo refugee if it helps)

Witness was awesome!

[-] AWizard_ATrueStar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Fair. I really enjoyed it (as much as I played. Didn’t finish. Should) but I get what you are saying. To each theirs!

Right now I use pop_os. I bought a System76 laptop so it came with it. I like it because most things just work and I am lazy. Not the biggest gnome fan though. Previous to owning this laptop I tinkered with many distros but usually leaned towards lightweight DEs like xfce.

Hi all. I was hoping someone knew of some good resources on troubleshooting problems running games in Wine. How to identify a problem and steps to take when things don't work, or partially work.

For example I use Lutris to install/play my GOG games. One game, Temple of Elemental Evil, seems to be picky about running under one version of Wine or another. It seems to be happy running under lutris-GE-Proton7-43-x86_64, but crashes on startup on any other version of lutris-proton I have tried. It also won't work on the regular lutris, or fshack versions. So why this one in particular? I haven't done anything to it to make it stand out. But I don't understand enough to identify what is going on.

Or if a game simply won't run at all, I can look at the error logs and sometimes identify what is keeping it from running, but don't know what to do to fix it. For example Soulbringer opens an initial configuration window before launching the game, but when I click play, nothing happens and the error log says "PATCH.DLL" failed to initialize.

Was just hoping for a good resource to help me understand how to diagnose and fix these problems when they come up.

Thanks!
