Hell, Lutris can even set up the original 1989 Sim City for you. Seeing that game on modern display sizes and resolutions is quite something
So my fear of sharks has gotten better, and I don’t quite understand why.
Curious 🏳️⚧️
But anyhow, you’ve probably found me because you’ve seen one of my totally inconspicuous comments
I’m open to chat about these and other related things over on Matrix

Ah, PC Gaming Wiki, what a fantastic resource. Made realize how many games in my libraries are actually DRM-free
I’d love for some big regulatory body forcing them to word it better and more clearly.
This is where the Heroic Games Launcher comes in, it only downloads the game itself, no Epic Games Launcher to be seen
I do like the mechanic though. Really forces you to adapt your playstyle. Some enemies are slow enough for it to not matter, and then with others it might actually be better to take some armor off, so you can dodge their attacks better.
Yeah, I don’t remember there being any pointers about equip load. On one hand it makes perfect sense, put heavy armor on and you’re slower. But on the other hand, it’s a video game, so many players wouldn’t expect it and then spend hours trying to figure out why their controller rumbles when they roll
The first Dark Souls is pretty clunky compared to modern games though, to be fair
Yeah. And I bet most, if not all of them would’ve been a lot happier with that feature. It makes things so much easier, so much more flexible.
It’s 2024 and GIMP will only now be getting the ability to do non-destructive editing through adjustment layers. It has been fine for many simple tasks, but for anything that’s more complex than a Lemmy shitpost, it’s been rough for that reason alone
It’s definitely more convoluted, but uBlock Origin can also selectively block pretty much anything, really. That being said, whatever tool you use, blocking any third party stuff per default is always a good start, to see how well any given site can work without it. Tells you a lot already
I was wondering where that issue came from
I had one big problem with VLC, in that it could not figure out which of my monitors I wanted the video to run fullscreen on. That was infuriating to the point I switched to MPV, and I’m very happy with it
As much as I hate him, a large majority of the games that are given away on that platform are fully DRM-free, and that’s pretty damn cool
One of those times where it sounded perfectly correct in my head, whoops
Others have said all the important things, but I wanted to add that there are things that Android always tunnels through a VPN, like internet connectivity checks.
So even with Always-ON and Block Connections, this will still ignore a VPN
As far as I know, it’s all we have right now
I recently discovered Image Toolbox, it has the best editing capabilities of any FOSS Android app I’ve seen so far. That being said, if developing RAWs is something you need as well, I don’t think there exists anything besides Google’s Snapseed and Lightroom mobile.
As for taking pictures, I quite enjoy OpenCamera, but there’s not much else than that.
Like the other reply said, Lineage doesn’t do a whole lot in terms of degoogling. I quite enjoy DivestOS, it’s a project that takes Lineage as a base and strips out as much Google and proprietary code as possible.
In fact, it’s so Google-free that neither sandboxed Play Services nor MicroG are officially supported, though the latter can still be installed and used just fine, though with a few drawbacks.
Same as Lineage, it runs on more devices, but certain features like bootloader relocking depend on the phone.
