Yeah; I also tried subbing in case that kicks off federation and searched a few titles to see if they ended up in random incorrectly as well (stuff like that happens sometimes with kbin). The magazine has seen a few microblogs mentioning the channel, and it clearly picked up the avatar/icon, description, etc. somehow, but doesn’t seem to be getting any videos as threads/posts and I couldn’t find any floating around disconnected either. I think kbin most likely doesn’t understand what PeerTube is publishing through AP, but there could always be federation weirdness or something.

Doesn’t seem to work right on kbin, unfortunately, although it does show up as a magazine: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

[coreutils-announce] coreutils-8.31 released [stable]

stat now prints file creation time when supported by the file system,
on GNU Linux systems with glibc >= 2.28 and kernel >= 4.11.

(found thanks to this blog post titled “File Creation Time in Linux”)

I don’t have a complete solution, but I do have some ideas:

• Have you tried hooking it up to an external monitor? Sometimes auto-config can help you recover from weird states if you plug in a different display.
• On my Deck, I can reach a terminal by using CTRL-ALT-F4 that is separate from the main desktop mode (CTRL-ALT-F1 switches back). Default user seems to be called “deck”. You may need to set a password to use sudo. I am not sure exactly how the desktop environment is set up on the Deck so I am not sure exactly what you need to change or where the files would be – maybe check under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d to see if anything is set to an insane value there?
• You might try sending Valve a support request
• As a last resort, you could try a factory reset. You’ll nuke everything else on it too though…

How does this relate to Summer in Mara? Are you expected to play SiM first? (Or is it better if you don’t play that first if you haven’t already?) Is this an independent story in the same setting?

Thanks for the suggestion. Seems to be in Early Access still. I’ll keep an eye out for when it’s done though!

Hmm… I’m pretty sure I started both of them way back when, but I don’t think I ever beat them. Dusting off the classics and seeing if I’m better suited to them now with the benefit of a few more years of experience is not a bad idea… Maybe I’ll give that a shot after I finish Hell Pie.

Thinking along those lines, there’s also Super Mario Sunshine, of course, for anyone else looking. (I definitely beat that one though!)

Thanks. I’ve already played Psychonauts (and Psychonauts 2!) but that’s a solid suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll take a look. Toilet humor isn’t my usual goto, but I can enjoy it from time to time; I mean, that boss from Conker’s Bad Fur Day – you know the one, if you ever played it – is among the most memorable encounters I’ve ever had in gaming…

Edit: I’m a few hours in now, and I’d say it’s kind of like the developers took Conker’s Bad Fur Day and A Hat in Time, ground both up with a meat grinder, shoved the mix in a pie tin, added a dash of Ford Cruller’s Secret Blend of Psitanium and Spices, and baked in the oven at 350 degrees until well done. I’m enjoying it so far. Fair warning to anyone else reading who is thinking of trying it that it’s much more tuned to Conker’s style of cartoon violence (with blood and gore) than to A Hat in Time’s.

Wow, that’s a heck of a lot cheaper than I expected. I mean, it’s still more than I’m willing to pay for it on my own, but it’s not the “haha no way could I ever buy one” level of impossible I was expecting. My boss probably wouldn’t bat an eye if I asked for one to stick in a workstation… Hmm.

OK, that’s fun and all, but how much does that crazy SSD cost? :p

I could really use another A Hat in Time, honestly. Not the Death Wish part – I’ve still got Dark Souls 3 just sitting there waiting for me when I’m ready for that… – but the chill, cutesy, fun main game part. Anyone got some recommendations?

I played it back in March 2012 after learning about it from a Let’s Play (thanks Toegoff, if you’re still out there, somewhere!). The comments recommended Katawa Shoujo, and, yeah, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole after that too…

I’ve been digging through a lot of old anime lately looking for amusing lines and striking images and so on to post to various kbin/lemmy communities, and I guess something tickled my memory of this game, so I dug it up out of a backup of my old hard disk and fired it up again to get this screenshot. This line is one of the things that’s stuck with me from it over the years.

This is the gag error message you sometimes get when you visit the 4chan parody in the VN called “don’t take it personally, babe, it just ain’t your story”.

• GLFW is intended to be built with cmake.
• After unzipping the source, make a build directory, and configure glfw3
• ^^ I like using ccmake to do this interactively, but you can also just pass flags to cmake if you know what they are
• You should build with GLFW_USE_WAYLAND and GLFW_USE_OSMESA turned off to get it to try to build against X11.
• You will probably also want to turn off GLFW_BUILD_DOCS, GLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES, GLFW_BUILD_TESTS
• You can adjust CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX if you don’t want to use the /usr/local default install path.
• After generating a Makefile, run make and make install
• glfw3 generates a pkg-config compatible .pc file as part of its build process that lists flags needed for compilation and linking against the library. Normally, you’d just call pkg-config --cflags --libs --static glfw3 to get this info as part of your own build process (in a Makefile, for example) or else require glfw3 as part of a cmake-based build, but you can read what’s generated in there if that program is not available to you for some reason. In case it’s helpful for comparison, what I get with a custom build of the static library version of glfw3 installed into /usr/local on a slightly old version of Ubuntu is output like -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lglfw -lrt -lm -ldl -lX11 -lpthread -lxcb -lXau -lXdmcp but you may need something different for your particular configuration.

Basically, something like this, probably, to do the compilation and get the flags to pass to g++:

wget 'https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/3.3.8/glfw-3.3.8.zip'
unzip glfw-3.3.8.zip
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D GLFW_BUILD_DOCS=OFF -D GLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -D GLFW_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -D GLFW_USE_OSMESA=OFF -D GLFW_USE_WAYLAND=OFF -D GLFW_VULKAN_STATIC=OFF ../glfw-3.3.8
make
make install

pkg-config --cflags --libs --static glfw3

If you want to just compile a single cpp file after building and install, you can do something like

g++ main.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs --static glfw3` -lGL

Try compiling GLFW from source against GLX instead of EGL. If glxinfo is talking to a software implementation running on your system, I’d expect GLFW built to use GLX would use the same implementation on your computer.

• You are running Wayland
• Your GLFW programs are using EGL, not GLX, to talk to your graphics drivers/hardware
• glxinfo is talking to a software implementation, not your hardware
• glxinfo’s output is irrelevant if you want to talk to your hardware with your current configuration; if you want to use the software implementation recompile GLFW targeting GLX and it should match that (but will be VERY slow).
• One of your old posts describes your GPU as: Intel GMA3100 (G31) – is this the same system you’re running on now? If so, that is ancient. It looks like that came out in 2007 – which predates the existence of OpenGL 3.0; so, getting 2.1 as the newest context available when talking to actual hardware is not surprising…

It’s preinstalled if you buy a Steam Deck – which by default runs a corporate backed (i.e. by Valve) Arch-derived distro called SteamOS. I bought one. If you hook it up like a regular computer (plug in mouse, keyboard, and external monitor with the dock) damned near everything I’ve tried has worked acceptably. Some games need a little fiddling around (e.g. installing video codecs or CJK language support or changing the proton version from the default setting to “experimental”) and I’ve run into bugs with full screen or the on screen keyboard a couple times, but I have yet to find a game I straight up could not play even if it was marked as unsupported. (I expect some games with obnoxious DRM/anti-cheat or that need ridiculously powerful cutting edge GPU specs probably wouldn’t work well though, but haven’t really tested the limits in that direction.)
