How does one break into this industry? I recently started playing the video game Not For Broadcast and have fallen in love. I’m sure it’s a very romanticized and simplified experience but I’ve been having a blast at perfecting the “art.”

Very cool coincidence to see this on the front page right after a sesh with the game.

What are some existing authoring systems that exist for this sort of thing? I know Ren’Py exists for visual novels

Wow, the fact that they remained undetected for so long and used wget for data exfiltration..

Hopefully security posture has increased since

Interested in this too, as well as how it compares to the Framework

Received this exact text, word for word with the same suspicious phishing link, from my own number, a few hours ago.

The Dan Case is absolutely gorgeous. What hardware are you running in yours?

I’d love to get a setup like this going with a 30x series card, but I’m not sure how difficult getting one at listing price is these days.

This sounds really nice… I’m now quite keen on looking into ultrawides.

Oops, you’re right. 150% is what I have set, typo on my end!

This is what I have been looking into for a portable gaming setup.

My framework setup already has so much raw power in terms of RAM and CPU. A solid GPU is the next step :-) Would do a GPU pass through setup with virtio/QEMU and a Linux host… if only eGPU setups weren’t so damned expensive! And that’s not even factoring in the sheer lack of availability of 30x series cards.

Anecdotal personal experience:

I’m on PopOS running Wayland with fractional scaling to 200%. It looks fantastic imo and have only had some issues with Guake terminal when plugged in to an external monitor, which I believe may be a Guake-Wayland-specific bug.

+1 for alacritty.

However now that I don’t daily drive mac as much, I’ve defaulted back to iTerm 2 for when I do happen to be doing something on my mac. The default configuration is quite good out of the box. All I really need to do post-install is get my beloved zsh + ohmyzsh plug-ins and I’m good to go :-)

And also my tmux dot files ;)

Daily drove mac for 5-7 years after a childhood of tinkering with Linux installs (no professional development) and falling in love with an AwesomeWM setup with custom keybinds.

After getting into professional dev during / after high school I ended up using Divvy for an OSX window manager. It wasn’t fantastic, but I could set up custom keybinds and it was “reminiscent” of those tiling WMs I found so much love for as a pre-adolescent.

I recently (2ish years ago) switched from mac to a Debian then eventually Pop OS setup for my daily driver development environment. While not as robust as a custom arch setup with a tiling WM like awesome, Mutter is quite good and everything PopOS offers out of the box has been fantastic. Perhaps one of these days I will find the time to dive back into arch and configure a _truly_ efficient and customized workstation / dev env :-)

It’s interesting to see all of these alternative, perhaps even _better_ / more robust / more FOSS friendly mac WMs being listed here. I’m keen on giving them a try whenever I end up back on a mac workstation, but I cannot deny that my Divvy lifetime license has served me incredibly well for years, with support through many big OS upgrades.

This is brilliant.

I remember coming across these a few years ago, and the recommended starting game Bandit was way out of my depth.

Now, several years later, I was able to blaze through Bandit in no time at all! And, learn some really cool and nifty tricks and techniques I had only read of/seen in passing previously :D

Excited to tackle the next one.

EDIT: It was also pretty fun to come across artifacts of other players when working in /tmp/ :-)

This was my immediate thought as well. Oh Ross, if only you closed that damn laptop lid (and didn't incriminate yourself blatantly on stack overflow)

This is very cool to see. When I discovered and subsequently purchased my framework back in October I had an idea for a homebrewed, 3D printed expansion card, where plugging it in/activating it immediately executes dban (or some other, better alternative).

Or you could always just carry an enormously strong electromagnet on you :-)

Very keen on picking one of these up purely for the novelty, price isn't too bad. Although I think the demographic who would and could actually benefit from a failsafe for having their laptop physically yanked away from them is quite small.
