This makes sense to me. I tried to run Unity and UE5 once on Linux. Fuck it’s annoying to even get the SDK running. Valve’s games are perfect on Linux and run like a dream, I wish more games were like that, but it has to start at the tooling level.

That would be really cool and probably solve all the problems
If it was misconfigured, why do all other apps and Proton have sound with no issue? Do you remember what you changed?
I’ll just use proton tbh lol. I try and avoid deep dives on my PC, I don’t have the energy or time anymore to do that. Unless I really care about it, like getting my DAW setup with JACK and multi MIDI loops, but you only have to do that once rather than per game
Good idea, I did that. Also I just tried Caves of Qud, which apparently has a Linux build. No sound 😂 yet another strike
I just checked and mine was already disabled. I am on Wayland though so maybe that also causes issues with older Linux games
What setting was that? For it to live in your BIOS/UEFI of all things ia also bizarre… Unless you mean the secure boot / trusted drivers stuff, which I disabled yonks ago.
I have the same thing (Long Description)
It’s just really quiet I guess, but it’s normal to me. I only first thought about it as being different when someone told me their inner voice was being mean to them and wouldn’t shut up, which just completely baffled me. It led to my discovery that others actually really do have voices in their head, it’s not a metaphor or mental illness like I previously thought from TV.
I think it’s fundamentally similar to everyone else’s experience though. If I relax my brain, it will cycle through thoughts and memories as a train of thought, but there’s no sound or visuals. To me I just get the emotions and the concept. Using the famous apple example, I remember the experience of holding and eating an apple, the taste, smell, texture, shape, weight, physics, geometry, the emotions of eating it, it’s all there, but I feel it rather than see it.
Benefits
I’m really good at programming, maths, physics, science, that kind of thing, because I can “feel” the rules and intuitively solve things without even thinking about it logically. I tend to notice things other people miss just because they feel out of place, with almost nothing to go on. An example would be if I’m given an error message, I don’t even have to debug to find the problem, because it feels like the bug is over there in that function. I’m usually correct, but I can’t explain how I got there, which made school… difficult haha.
Sometimes I like to just sit down and close my eyes, and think about the concept of nothing, and just have a completely blank mind for a while. It’s really relaxing and restful, and it feels like time goes by 10x faster. It’s probably some kind of meditation but I don’t know the names of stuff like that. I’ve been told I’m very patient and calm.
Downsides
I’m extremely bad at learning second-hand. Either by reading or being shown or talked to. The only way I can ever learn anything is if I experience it first-hand, which made university… difficult haha. Jump in completely unprepared and fuck up kind of learner.
Visual descriptions in books are boring to me for obvious reasons. I skip those parts completely and only read the social and action parts. Poetry makes no sense at all to me, except haikus and rhymes. I get lost very frequently, and I struggle with visual logic puzzles. I struggle to remember the name of colours and distinguish them, but I have no colour blindness at all.
I’m extremely bad at explaining and describing things to other people, and also struggle to understand others’ explanations. When people are talking to me in a conversation, I don’t remember the exact words they said, only the emotional gist and meaning. When I’m talking to someone, I can’t really plan ahead what I’m going to say, and I can’t remember what I’ve already said, so if I’m interrupted at all I have to start again like a broken NPC in a video game. People get really frustrated with me, but I can’t really blame them lol
Drawing pictures is extremely challenging, I have to do it “mathematically” by ratio. Like ok the hair goes down 60% of their face, the curvature of their jaw it’s like almost straight, and angles more aggressively about half way to mildly curved then their chin comes out of nowhere at 80% to the bottom… I have no talent at all for drawing, it’s crazy hard for me, but I still do it anyway for fun. People are like just practice and you’ll improve! There’s no amount practice to replace something that’s completely missing haha
Anyway, proud of you if you actually read all that wild ride
5·vor 1 TagYeah by default the A.I. will write some really weird stuff… I remember once I had to write to my ex’s lawyers, and it was weirdly aggressive. It reminded me of the script from a Phoenix Wright game, making baseless accusations just to offend them or something, inventing new laws that they were in breach of… I’m like ok let’s just delete all that haha no way do I want that read out loud in court. But the rest of it had decent bones, it used the lawyer-y words that I always forget about
Imagine if your gaze lingers slightly too long on a packet of Tim Tams, but you’re trying to be good, and you have a conversation with your partner about how hard it is to kick sugar. Then later you start getting aggressively advertised to, TimTams everywhere on massive discount, because Meta knows your weakness now. But not just with chocolate, with everything in your life, exploited as ruthlessly as possible, and also you paid a premium for that privilege.
I get A.I. to rewrite some emails to be “more professional” because I’m not good at corpo speak, then I dial it back 20%. I used to just write emails normally but I got in trouble for that. Now I can remotely trick people into thinking I’m neurotypical. It’s the only helpful use case I’ve found in my life. Ideally I’d be allowed to write emails in the same natural tone I wrote this comment, but we don’t live in an ideal world unfortunately
Ah I misinterpreted it then, apologies
1·vor 1 TagI had this exact problem with games like Doom Eternal. Even in easy mode, I really struggled with that game because I only could play one mission per week or two. So I’m rolling into the final boss battle having forgotten how to use the chainsaw or the grenades or flamethrower, and I just get my ass kicked. I spend 45 minutes dying and relearning the game, 15 minutes playing, and then I have to stop again.
Thankfully in that game you can just use cheats like infinite lives, but many games have no cheats or easy mode. I still have no idea how I got to the final boss in Bloodborne and Sekiro, I think I just cheesed the A.I. lol
I shouldn’t have to do that to play a game. You can’t say “gaming on Linux is accessible and easy now”, and then tell people to static link their dependencies into an executable. That’s a hack job patch, not a solution.
Yeah but squinting at a pdf on your monitor pales in comparison to whipping out the glossy colour print instruction booklet. I remember playing Morrowind and it came with an actual map. It was so much fun I forgot the game itself had that feature. More games should come with maps, man. Where’s my BOTW map?
Oh yes that’s right, you awakened a traumatic repressed memory where I keep all my games on a secondary SSD and because I installed either snap or flatpak (can’t remember), it just shit itself and failed to work properly. Took me ages to figure that out.
It would be nice if there was actually good native Linux games. Imagine how buttery smooth they would run. Valve games one of the reasons they’re so enjoyable is they run perfectly on Linux, chef’s kiss. But they made the steam deck so it would be silly if they didn’t
I kind of feel like MM2 is designed around playing multiplayer with people next to you rather than on the other side of the planet
I don’t get noticeable FPS hits or graphical issues with Proton. In fact, in many cases Proton actually outperforms Windows in FPS.
I don’t think many people are willing to mess with that symlink stuff to be honest, I know I’d only do it if I had a really good reason to. But I’m not a Linux expert, I don’t really understand that kind of stuff and would probably fuck up my game or system if I tried. I know enough to read and mostly comprehend commands that I’m copy pasting into terminal
This joke makes me feel uncomfortable
Sorry the only 3d game I ever made was a Doom clone, and it was pretty bad lol. I don’t really know what a voxel even is, I kind of just do things by feel haha.
I I’ll definitely try out Godot, I kind of just gave up on making any games when I switched to Linux about 7 years ago. It’ll be cool if it works
