Is it just me, or is GTA III just goddamned trash? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I never liked missions in any of the GTA games I've played (haven't played 4 and 5). Even as a kid I hated doing those missions. Don't think Vice City is much better in this respect than 3.

Can somebody help me launch The Rage (2001)? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Appreciate the help.

I doubt it's the second thing because for an obscure game like this that at some point became free, most uploads on the internet are probably the same. But I will try a different one if the first option doesn't work out.

Speaking of it, could you provide a more specific instruction or a proper package name for me to install? Because I tried searching for "multilib" and "32-bit libraries" and I doubt any of the ones I found were what I need, but I can't tell it all looks pretty confusing.

Can somebody help me launch The Rage (2001)? (www.myabandonware.com)
 

This is my childhood game and I can't make it work on Linux. The menu starts fine and the character selection screen as well, but once I select a character, it crashes. I tried running it with different renderers and different Wine/Proton versions, and it's always the same result.

I enabled output debugging in Lutris. Here's the result: Link

And this is my system info: Link

Please help!

Nothing was off-limits for retro game ads in c/[email protected]

I'd rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it's silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

The weird thing is, as a guy, I never even paid attention to the sexualized stuff in games. To me these are like two different brain activities. So, as far as I'm concerned, there was never any point in this kind of marketing. I've never in my life purchased a game because it featured sexy ladies.

Is there a website that can suggest you artists based on similar personality? in c/[email protected]

The moods and themes are pretty cool categorizations. I should give it a try. Thanks!

This doesn't really work for me, because it mostly just shows me artists in the same genre, most of which I'm already aware of and don't care about. I'm really more looking for music that conveys similar meaning/concepts. The genre is less relevant here.

That is a great idea, I should try it, thanks

Is there a website that can suggest you artists based on similar personality? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been having trouble finding new favorite musical artists. Having been disappointed in many of my childhood favorites, there's only a few artists I genuinely binge. I think I have this problem where I need to relate to what the artist says in most of their songs. It's a sort of parasocial relationship, because the more songs of theirs I relate to, the more likely I am to enjoy their new songs.

So I was thinking, it would be cool if there was a website that asks you questions about yourself, and then based the information we have on music artists online, it finds the closest match. For example, it asks personal questions like "did you grow up poor?" or "what is your political ideology?", etc. And say you answer "yes" and "communist", and then it finds you an artist who also grew up poor and is a communist. I feel like this would allow for finding more relatable music.

I have a feeling such a website doesn't exist, but I just wanted to put my idea out. However, if you know anything even similar to this, let me know.

The native population had been wiped out by the malware of their own creation. Only the Linux users survived, but turned blind because they stare at their monitors and don't go out much.

Year of Linux on the Desktop in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (5 children)

As a former lifelong Windows user (from 2002 to 2019), I honestly don't get why people continue using Windows in the future. It doesn't make sense to me. They're cracking down on liberties, increasing system requirements, and old software and games are gradually becoming less compatible. And people seem to be starting to realize that other options are becoming gradually more attractive, because Windows is now hovering below 70% while just ten years ago it was at over 90%. Meanwhile Mac has grown from 7% to 20%, and Linux is at an unprecedented 3%, and that's not counting ChromeOS, which is slightly higher.

The mistakes Microsoft is doing can prove fatal. Because I think for most people, once they embrace Linux, even if Windows improves, they won't wanna go back.

Help me identify a philosopher (lemmy.world)
 

One time I read a quote by a philosopher. I'm not sure if he was strictly Daoist, but at the very least Daoism-adjacent. IIRC correctly he wasn't one of those academic types, and more an ascetic sage type.

Anyway, I don't remember the exact quote, but the crux of it was that the Dao has no intention. It said something like "if the Dao had intention, it would only be like a shepherd". This shepherd analogy is the only specificity of this quote that I can remember. If you know who it was, please let me know.

Can somebody help me fix the sound in Robocop (2003) please? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm on Linux Mint 21.2, though I've tried installing this game on another Debian-based distro with the same results.

So, the game launches and everything seems to be perfectly in order, except there's no sound.

Files in the game folder are .wav and seem to work perfectly when I launch them with Audacious.

There is no information online, it seems like I'm the first person trying to launch this game on Linux.

Here's the log:

Help me run Pro Rally 2001 (it's very easy) (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey everyone.

So, the problem is that in order to launch Pro Rally 2001, you first need to launch the RallySetup.exe, so that the game would create a config file called ed3.ini. But I use Linux and am trying to run this game with Wine. And Wine seemingly can run the main executable, but not RallySetup.exe.

So, what I need is for someone who uses Windows to just install that game and then sned me that file ed3.ini. I don't think I can tell you where to download the game, but it's basically abandonware, so many websites have it.

So anyway, if you helped me, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Unfortunately, the game still doesn't work at the moment. I suppose I'll have to just run a virtual machine for it. But I wouldn't know if I didn't try.
