  • Current situation on FOSS Discord replacements?

    Jump

  • You can just search terms right within Element to find public "rooms" (like a Discord Server). There's rooms for all kinds of things. There are private rooms, too, but someone in the room would have to send you a link to it.

  • I love the Element client for Matrix. I use it with my friends and I have joined a lot of communities on there. It's Discord-like, but I personally find it much easier to navigate than Discord. It's free, open source, decentralized, you can self-host if that's your jam, it's got some solid security and usability features, call quality is great, and I've found it to be very stable and reliable. I'm a little biased because I personally don't like Discord, I find the UI clunky and unpleasant to use, but I love using Element. If you love Discord, you will find Element familiar, but you may or may not appreciate the differences.

  • Haha yeah, I was gonna say, if you've even been on the eshop once, "selective" is not the word you'd use to describe them.

  • I mean, she's straight up said she thinks that trans women are not women and that she believes being transgender is a mental illness. She said she'd rather go to jail than be forced to call trans people by their preferred pronouns (which is insane and not a real scenario that would happen, but still telling nonetheless lol). She's buddied up with some far-right extremists, one of which has likened being transgender to doing blackface and another that said trans men should be sterilized.

    I also don't agree with extremist takes on either side, but promotion of trans erasure and mocking/minimizing/invalidating a margininalized group that is frequently at risk of being targeted for violence are not victimless acts.

  • Rumor: XBox games could be coming to Nintendo consoles and PlayStation

    Jump

  • I think this is the answer. It seems like Microsoft is laying the foundation to go all-in on cloud gaming and/or gamepass. I think their ultimate goal is to dip out of the console wars altogether and be at the forefront of what they think could be the next frontier in gaming.

    Honestly, it's kinda smart. Idk if cloud gaming could really be the future (at least in the US) until we have better infrastructure and access to fast/reliable internet without data caps is more ubiquitous, but carving out a niche for themselves instead of locking horns with the competition is pretty clever. It's worked for Nintendo. Most PC and console gamers I know also own a Switch, in part because of the quality of the exclusives and in part because of the relatively accessible pricing of the console, but also because the Switch hardware offers a unique experience (well, it was a lot more unique pre-Steam Deck).

  • What site can I use to find if games will run on my computer?

    Jump

  • YouTube. I know it sounds goofy, but often you can search something like "Baldur's Gate 3 gtx 1060 6gb i7-4790K" (or whatever your specs are) and you will get tons of videos of people running it on their systems. If you happen to have common parts, you will not normally have trouble finding a benchmark for a rig very similar to yours for most games, but even with more niche hardware, you can usually find something helpful, even of it's just like a similar GPU or another laptop with the same chipset, or whatever your case may be.

    Beyond that, Steam's hardware requirements on the store pages of games and pcgamingwiki are great resources.

    I'd also say you can look on protondb--it's for Linux gamers, so the results may or may not be applicable if you have a Windows system, but in most cases, if there's a report that something runs well on Linux machine with the same hardware as you, it's going to be very similar on Windows. The other way isn't so applicable, though--just because something runs poorly on a Linux rig doesn't necessarily mean it will also run poorly on Windows, as the problem could be with the compatability layer and not the hardware.

    None of these are a perfectly elegant solution, but they are typically reliable enough.

    Jump

  • Sure. The premise is that blocks are falling and can't be allowed to reach a certain height. There is drama in knowing that, no matter what, it will eventually reach that height. You're given the tools to fend off the inevitable for as long as you can. There's conflict, resolution, and the plot details are determined both by the decisions you make and the order in which the game delivers the blocks to you. You are the protagonist, the computer is the antagonist. There's a beginning, middle, and end to every game. It's as reductive as stories get, but it's a story.
