  • Aside from better server side detection, which is I agree is severely underdeveloped, I’d say that the next big step should be a much bigger reliance on reputation-based matchmaking, ideally across games. It would need to be built in a way that’s not abusable by devs or trolls and should be as privacy-respecting as much as possible (as in, not having to validate with your ID South-Korean style), which isn’t an easy task. Working properly however, it would keep honest players from seeing any cheaters at all with no client-side anticheat required at all, which would be nice.




  • Instead, I think Krita has a good chance of moving into photo editing with enough funding.

    As someone who doesn’t really do photo editing, one thing I never quite understood is what’s missing for that to be viable right now.

    For reference, the one time I had to edit a photo a few years ago, I just used Krita to move/remove a few objects and do some basic color grading. It didn’t feel like there was anything missing.

    Granted, I never used software like Photoshop either.





  • However, that was also my experience playing games like this back in the day

    Exactly my experience as well. It’s very reminiscent of that time when I was given a GBA emulator with a bunch of US and JP roms without any explanation. I didn’t know what an emulator is, or that there were game consoles other than the GBC. I didn’t knew my way around English either and Japanese looked like some sort of bug to me.

    There’s just something stumbling through a big library and slowly making inroads in your favorite titles.




  • That’s always been their plan, but it’s getting hit with Valve Time. My guess is that they won’t do it until all issues the major with NVIDIA GPUs have been fixed, as a public build that doesn’t run properly on a majority of machines wouldn’t go well. The latest driver is pretty good, but the Big Picture mode is still pretty much unusable.

    At the very least they’re currently trying to bring official support over to other handhelds, as they’ve already confirmed that they want to official support for the ROG Ally and pushed out a update to SteamOS for the controller support.




  • And you can even go a step further and configure it so all the ISOs go into a subdirectory. Then you can still use the USB for other stuff without it becoming a mess. Right now I have the following structure:

    ├ apps // Lots of portable apps, using the PortableApps systemdata // For copying files between devices
    ├ images // ISOs go here, separated into Linux, Windows and Utilities
    ├ installs // For apps that need to be installed
    ├ secure // Encrypted Veracrypt store
    └ ventoy // Ventoy config
    

    All that on a tiny USB on my keychain and super useful when you’re the IT person for the family.
