From a gamedev perspective it wouldn't make sense to call what was happening "classic". It was unintended behavior.

What would make more sense would be to make a setting to allow or disable the intermission sections of the race (they'd need to think of another name for them though because they call the wait time between races intermissions in the settings already). Allow players to keep or remove the long stretches.

Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.

Lol.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

You realize words still count right?

The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

I repeat the above.

Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

That reminds me of the old Maddox.xmission website

Its $100 extra, and that's after the artificial COVID inflation. But your point stands.

Hey this seems neat. Do you have any screenshots besides the configuration menu?

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's the thing though, there are alternatives now. They just take more discovery and setup time than most are used to.

If it's not insisting, it's demanding, which is worse.

There are many tools now that replace X11 behavior. If Wayland doesn't "do what they need", at this point there's a strong chance they have not put in any effort into making it work for them.

For desktop forwarding there's waypipe.

For tablet users, KDE (And probably gnome) have pretty good tablet support at this point.

For artists, KDE JUST got much better color calibration and HDR support.

For gamers, WINE now has an experimental Wayland-native mode, and barring that we have Gamescope to make it behave semi-native (so this one is more of a future-ish solution that you can use now).

Screen recording mostly just works with pipewire and almost everything supports it now including Discord.

Etc.

Those users can stick with the last version of KDE or GNOME that supports X11. They're insisting on using unmaintained software already, so it shouldn't be much of a leap to do the same with the DE.

It's really not fair to demand that people building your DE for free maintain two vastly different rendering stacks when they clearly don't want to.

You can say it in as many posts as you like, that doesn't make you right.

The Linux Ship of Theseus

  1. pick any distro and install it.

  2. Then, without installing another distro over the top of it, slowly convert it into another distro by replacing package managers, installed packages, and configurations.

System must be usable and fully native to the new distro (all old packages replaced with new ones).

No flatpaks, avoid snaps where physically possible, native packages only.

EDIT: Some clarification on some of the clever tools brought up here:

chroot, dd, debootstrap, and partition editors that allow you to install the new system in an empty container or blanket-overwrite the old system go against the spirit of this challenge.

These are very useful and valid tools under a normal context and I strongly recommend learning them.

You can use them if you prefer, but The ship of Theseus was replaced one board at a time. We are trying to avoid dropping a new ship in the harbor and tugging the old one out.

It may however be a good idea to use them to test out the target system in a safe environment as you perform the migration back in the real root, so you have a reference to go by.


Easy: pick two similar distros, such as Ubuntu and Debian or Manjaro and Arch and go from the base to the derivative.

Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.

Hard: Pick two disparate distros like Debian and Artix and go from one to the other.

Nightmare: Make a self-compiled distro your target.

 

I accidentally discovered that if you keep pushing the piano, a full song plays. A few notes at a time will play per click, and you can control the tempo.

Sometimes the ghost slams the piano on you, but I couldn't capture it here.

My wife died in the making of this video 😢

 

For those curious, it's the Sony Venice.

These cameras "retail" for around $60,000 in real life. Chances are you have to go through a vendor network and sign deals with real people in person or on a zoom call to be able to buy them, and you would probably be ordering more than one.

Price sourced here: https://ymcinema.com/2021/11/16/the-sony-venice-2-prices-have-been-revealed/

 

It's a German high fidelity audio equipment company called Schoeps.

Of course, the one in phas comes with the additional screen and such, which is not part of the kit.

They use XLR audio jacks, so you'd need a pretty solid professionals grade or enthusiast audio setup to be able to use it IRL.

I can't seem to find an actual price on them, and you have to go through "dealers" which means they're probably pretty expensive.

Edit: I found a conference demo showing it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDeD1NElIgk

It seems like they are about $3,000+. The neat part is that the dish is actually flexible.

I finally did it! (lemmy.world)

I know these posts are quite common in other Phasmophobia communities, but it feels like I finally beat the game. It only took about 10 hours of attempts across 2 nights.

The only things left for me to do are to prestige for the third time and then get insta-gibbed by a demon in less than a minute.

My only regret is dying at the last second on my Revenant attempt. Had the whole book filled out, and it would have been so cool to have a rev win! But alas, the deogen is tried and true. Rerolling for favorable objectives and a deo is the way to go.

 

Additionally, it appears that the code for the backend server is intended to be public as well, but just doesn't exist outside of a readme.md document in the main branch.

This is setting off sirens, particularly the lack of a license.

 

Those ghosts won't know what hit 'em.

 

Got this picture last night
