Most early disc consoles had nonstandard discs in some way. Even if they are readable with a standard drive I doubt MS will support it. (They’ve surprised me with this announcement though, so who knows)

Not sure if you’ve seen but Gears 2 got some sort of recomp/port about a week ago. I haven’t had a chance to play it too much yet but the tutorial with Carmine worked without a hitch. https://www.moddb.com/mods/gears-of-war-2-hollow

Games@lemmy.world•Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered - Announcement TrailerEnglish
4·2 months agoCool, I’ve been wanting to give the older hitmans another chance after loving WOA. I couldn’t really get past the controls when I tried them but this must be adding controller support for consoles.

Godot@programming.dev•I'm adding a random vector function to my plugin. Is range or min/max better?English
3·4 months agoI’m a fan of inclusive min, exclusive max for rng. It behaves consistently with decimal numbers in a readable way, for example int(0,100) can return 100 different integers. x<0 has a 0% chance of happening, x<50 is 50%, x<100 is 100%. If you swap with dec(0,100) you could now get 99.999 but x<50 is still exactly 50%
I do agree with amio on consistency and making sure each method added is worth the abstraction.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Wine 11.6 is an exciting release to make modding Windows games on Linux simplerEnglish
21·4 months agoIf this does mean
WINEDLLOVERRIDESwon’t be needed I’ll be very happy, it’s been very fiddly trying to get optiscaler working.
I’m sure they are, but but I think their effort is targeted at standalone headsets and won’t translate much to wired headsets.
Wireless headsets do have fewer issues on Linux, from what I’ve read. A lot of the stuff I’m missing like passthrough and boundaries are probably handled by the headset instead of the pc.
In my experience steamvr works but is unstable and has really bad performance compared to windows. (Constant stuttering even in lighter games like pistol whip) Motion smoothing doesn’t work and it feels like there’s some input delay which is not acceptable for vr.
I’ve switched over to monado via envision, which loses the steamvr overlay and is very unpolished. (no camera passthrough and no boundary display, though both seem in development) Games play correctly with reasonable performance, which is what matters.
I wouldn’t recommend linux vr in general right now, if a friend wanted to try my headset I’d probably boot my windows partition. (Original htc vive with a 9070xt, so no excuse for steamvr’s linux performance)

4·6 months agoHas anybody ever called tariffs his only or even primary playing card? I know Trump’s a big fan of them, but they have nothing to do with his election interference, free speech suppression, weaponized justice department, or directly putting federal money in his own pocket. Tariffs are how he’s raising prices and destroying the US’s international relationships and standing, but he has plenty of other options for that.

Games@lemmy.world•Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killedEnglish
4·1 year agoIMO it’s the opposite, what exists now is less than a server browser. I’d call it a custom games browser instead. Whichever one you pick will be on the official servers.
I agree it isn’t how the industry is now, but it isn’t going to improve if everyone just accepts it.
