Sounds like good times, indeed.

No. It was for a Star Wars roleplay but not a video game. It started life in the newsgroup de.rec.sf.starwars
Ah, ok, nice! Was that the old D6 version, or the newer D20 one?
and I played the role of Emperor.
You dark person you! 😜
Apologies for being off-topic, but the domain name, “swg-empire.de”, does the ‘swg’ part ‘Star Wars Galaxies’ by chance?
Point taken, but, nobody can tell the future (if they could, they’d be in Vegas doing two shows a night).
You make your “best guess” purchasing decisions at a single point in time.
Some games with this on the store page run natively on Linux. Not sure how it works, does the Linux version just not use the anticheat?
They may be a native Linux-supported game.
Otherwise, I know Easy Anti-Cheat is available on Steam for Linux, you install it just like if it’s its own game, then other games use it. I don’t know about any other anti-cheat software.
You can always check out protondb.com for info on a specific game.
As a Linux gamer, that uses Proton to play games, I’m sure glad they did.
Makes it easy to figure out if I should bother buying the game or not.
I can’t wait for Intel to step up their game and for AMD to reengage. We really need the competition.
Doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to summarize at the end of the day.
I take notes in-line as I go too. But having to stop and then write (well, type in a text editor) everything I was thinking about for the last X hours, when I’m super fatigued, can be problematic for me to do. At the point I quit, I’m not really thinking anymore, even just to summarize the day.
Generally speaking (NOT 100% of the time), that takes more time that you don’t have, as you’re outrunning fatigue. You can waste time writing down notes (which you’re supposed to do anyway in-line in the code as you go streamlined like), or you can solve the problem. Plus the quality of the notes you leave, if written up at the end when you’re ready to leave work, may not be good enough to help the next day. /shrug
But honestly, if that works for you, more power to ya! 🙂
I’ve had plenty of breakthroughs at 9PM, but most of those could have been gotten at 11AM the next day without neglecting my family.
You’re a better coder than I am/was then. Everytime, without fail, if I took that break at 9pm, left work, and came back the next day, I never solved that problem.
You come into the office the next day and you have more/new problems to solve on top of the one you were trying to solve the night before, and you have to try to get back ‘into the zone’ of the problem solving for that one single problem (especially when you’ve had to do a bunch of configurations to your IDE for the last-night problem being worked on), very problematic to do when the office is busy.
Speaking of, forgot to mention that point, but working late usually gives you a quieter office environment to work in. Its always why I would try to start work at 10am (or later) on any project I was one, give me an hour or three of "quiet’ at the end of the day to wrap up work uninterrupted.
After 5PM stop looking for a fix, start looking for a stopping point and write up some notes to review when you’re fresh again.
Hot Take Incomming…
No. My best successes were when I stayed on point and pushed through the fatigue and solved the problem. Taking a ‘go to bed and come back to the office fresh’ type of break would inevitably set me back, as I would have to pick up my train of thought again, to get back “into the zone” of the problem and solving it. Its another form of an interruption while you are trying to concentrate, and can interrupt an ‘Eureka!’ moment in problem solving.
It truly sucks having to work the extra hours, and if the project management is so bad that you’re doing it all the time, then you need to find other work, but sometimes, ‘sticking it out’ is the solution to the problem, finishing what you started.
Having said that, if I’ve pushed through the fatigue multiple times in multiple hours, so that its super hard to push again, THEN that would be the point where I walk away from the problem for the evening. Its not an either/or thing, but its definately stick around and try to solve longer than the advice I’m replying to would suggest.
One last thing. The above advice was given by someone who spent most of their career self-employeed and working an hourly rate. You’re expected to solve the problems others can’t because you’re getting paid more, and your time is compensated accordingly to the amount of work you are putting in. If you are a salaried employee, especially one who is low paid, I would then advise you to consider other things than strict professionalism, like QoL issues vs compensation gained, etc.
m also not sure how it works with the licenses of the instance it’s posted on, and the instances that federate with, store and reproduce the content.
My understanding is a license would stays with the content, no matter where the content is replicated. I also declare that my content is licensed in my user account description as well.
As far as the labeling goes, I normally have it say a little more than what I did in my last comment. I’ll apply it at the end of this comment, so you can see what I normally use.
But if you go back through my personal comment history, about nine and a half months or so, you’ll see that there’s been a large quantity conversation about this licensing link, so having just recently returned to Lemmy I was trying to shorten it down, figuring just the actual license information itself was enough of the declaration.
Wanting to talk to other human beings and only getting responses from AI/LLMs is horrible, and a detriment the humanity solving its problems (which may be the point).
Also, this is my new signature line, so thanks.
You’re welcome. I appreciate you helping out with normalizing signature lines.
Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.
Personally I suggest Fedora with KDE.
It has a great update cadence time frame, and good hardware support (indirectly backed by IBM). And games really well in Steam/Proton.
That’ll get you the most Windows like experience on Linux, for an average user who doesn’t like to tinker much and just wants it to work out of the box.
Just make sure to accept third party libraries / apps when you first install. It’s a single checkbox that you click.
They’re really not that obnoxious. The folks getting their panties in wads about it are either fools, or astroturfers. You do you chief, and I for one support this. Folks get overly triggered about all sorts of stupid little shit, don’t let them get you down. Someday soon a bunch of us will probably wish we did something like what you’re doing.
Appreciate the kind words.
Yeah I’m still calming down from having to do battle with this Lemmy user, but I plan on keep adding the license to my comments, as at this point it just feels like the right thing to do.
I might change the wording though to how you worded it, seems more intuitive for people to understand, than listing the actual Creative Commons license code/name.
Just block the negative people and move on 🤷 The license text ain’t hurting nobody and anybody triggered enough to insult or mock you about it ain’t worth reading anyway.
I agree, but I’ve been told they’re very obnoxious, and I’m a fool to believe in them, and get a lot of harsh language and arguments about using it.
I keep having to remind people it’s just a link in a comment, but it really triggers some people for some reason.
Nice, somebody else is licensing their comments! 🙌
Have you taken a lot of crap over doing so? The last three days for me have been kind of rough. 😋
More than just a good read, that’s one of the project/programming Ten Commandments.
Can’t tell you how many times over the decades I’ve had to argue with project managers about that.
