A launcher is still unnecessary here. The menu of the game is as much a launcher as game assets and mods do not need to be loaded at the menu, and the menu can be designed to serve this function with immersive design instead of hostile design.
Most launchers exist to inject web content so they can advertise to you without needing you to update the launcher.
I just stopped buying games from studios that do this.
He made Canada hate him. That puts him up there.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”?
1·26 days agoFrom 2006 onward I was a Gnome 2 fanboy and you could not convince me to use KDE.
Fast forward to Gnome Shell, and KDE Plasma; You couldn’t get me to touch Gnome. I love love love Plasma so much.
Uh, false. So called “serving” class jobs (wait staff, hotel maids and a few others) have a lower minimum wage in many of the provinces. In Quebec, their sales for their shifts are even tracked an proactively taxed for the expected tips they should receive. Which is why you get stink eye from servers in Quebec, they get taxed on expected tip output even if they don’t get tipped.
I see they have removed the “service” terms held over from slave nomenclature and now call it a “minimum tipped wage”.

Pro Tip is not Pro Working.
Pro living wage, pro profit sharing, pro median income for CEOs… These are pro-working views.
Tip economy is part of the very class war problem we find ourselves in.

Sticky things clog. Jam when it gets stuck somewhere thickens as it dries into a rubbery mess.
Hence the concept of something being “jammed” becoming synonymous with clogged, blocked, disrupted.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] How well does playing your Steam Deck docked work for you?
3·2 months agoI often play docked, but when I do I am usually playing something with high graphics demand (FFVII Rebirth) where I flip to desktop mode and use the Steam Link app to connect to my PC. If you are looking to play a really high end game via streaming, I recommended not using the SteamOS streaming and rather using the SteamLink app. Performance and controller detection work much better.
For local games I’m playing stuff more like Moonstone Island, Planet Crafter, etc and it works great. I like the ability to slap on some extra peripherals. I attach a small USB keyboard for games that occasionally need it, and a mouse, but I generally play with the PS5 controller I have.
My one beef is Smart TVs like my Samsung playing poorly with their stupid “smart device detection”… And it some times takes some playing around to get the video to connect properly (sound comes through)… A problem absent from my “dumb” Westinghouse TV/DVD combo LCDs i grabbed. So YMMV on connectivity if you have a less than well built Smart TV.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking to build a K8s cluster, what are your strategies for finding affordable hardware?English
2·2 months agoZimaboards do not need RAM. They include it (do not confuse it with the Zimablade).
I just use the default hardware with the Zimaboards. Zimaboard 832s for the masters and nodes, and I recently added a couple of Zimaboard 2s for larger nodes as those have 16gb.
I like the boards, they perform well and the intel cpus in them have internal GPUs so for light transcoding or GPU loads they can be leveraged without need for GPU cards. After trying several other x86 based options, Zimaboards are my preferred option.

3·2 months agoI used Zimaboards. They are affordable and all you need if you couple the cluster with a TrueNAS Scale box and setup Democratic CSI.
