@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty 90% of the lack of viruses is because people use package managers or install from source

*a little less* is also *an little* understatement, especially if you include software like bloatware, adware, or spyware as viruses

The filemanager in windows is weird. There's no easy way to fork it like using tabs, it doesn't update when files change automatically, I can't drag and drop from an open instance to a "pick a file" prompt, I can't customise the thumbnailers or really any part of it, it stalls the computer turning off and every time I restart it insists on opening the windows I had open

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty But it's not harder, it's just different and better

There is *no* solution to that other than to just be windows again, what's the point?

~ is not harder than %userprofile%, / is not harder than \\, / for root is not harder than C:\\, and then there are straight up improvements, any char except for / and \0 is allowed, no magic chars or filenames you can't have, there's also virtually no magic junk files like Thumbs.db, its universally UTF-8, I get sent zip files from my uncle and the names are corrupted and that happens between windows users, we have every FS that windows supports plus almost every single one it doesnt, we can mount anything anywhere so my ~/Niðurhal is actually a seperate drive, no D:\\ shenanigans, it just works, formatted USB drives don't have a 4gb filelimit and FILES ARE ACTUALLY CASE SENSITIVE

Last time I had windows legitimatly installed it borked itself during an update too. I've since installed a pirated Russian version that gets no updates with bloatware removed and classic shell preinstalled and it's fine

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I know, so I'm having trouble with what you think is wrong with them

Any of theses. These three are direct features that are a very uppfront improvement over windows

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Whatðs wrong with the FS? Every graphical FM has simple ways to manage permissions. Package managers are one of the best features, wdym? "apt install firefox" "pacman -S firefox", if a normie can use notepad they can use this, otherwise get the GUI for that PM

@samuraikid The blue circle looks bigger because it's brighter, doesn't it? This looks like an optical thing more than anything. Nobody raised their hand for the red one so people are clearly actually perceiving a difference

@xianc78 >Having your logic advance statically per frame isn't a good idea

Specifically, either you told monogame the exact framerate it should have or you're relying on undefined behaviour. It might play at 2x or 0.5x speed on someone elses system with 30hz or 120hz screens

If you do manually specify it then it's wasting resources or is artificially laggy, plus possible artifacts like screen tear

>player.x = player.x + (player.velocity * player.speed * dt * speed)

Well, rather you'd have something like

local speed = 1
function mono.update(dt)
dt = dt * speed
player:update(dt)
enemies:update(dt)
...
end

So, you're either using a system where it's really easy to add slowmotion or you have a bad system (prolly, I'm making assumptions)

@xianc78 I would also recommend that you do actually take the time to add a camera offset because slight camera smoothing adds a lot of juice to the game

You have scrolling levels, yeah? So you should already have a camera. An offset and a increment to get close to the "goal" location on the player relative to how far away the camera is from the goal is only a couple lines but adds a lot. Then for shake you randomise it, hints in video #2

@xianc78 Are you not managing changes in the game relative to a dt? Having your logic advance statically per frame isn't a good idea

Monogame should be giving you something like an update(dt) callback that gives you the deltatime (time since last frame, rendering + vsync)

All you have to do for slow motion is to have a multiplier for it

player.x = player.x + (player.velocity * player.speed * dt * speed)

@furgar I wouldn't just listen to a SCREENSHOT where the PERSON can't even type COHERENTLY

Cancer eats chitin? What? Only birds eat insects?

>Fungi eats chitin
Fungi is made from chitin. Mushrooms are not unhealthy

I don't think a single thing here is true. What on earth is METAMORPHIC steroids?

@enigmatico @retard It was a problem with PopOS but they've fixed it and its hard to blame them since Steam is closed source and made of decades of old code, lots of it 32-bit libs and requires effort when Valve only officially supports Ubuntu

@Xeraser @Tadano @hikari How does it serve you when you payed for a rental copy you're not even allowed to change?

How convenient something is depends on how well fine tuned it is for you exactly. Windows isn't designed to be changed. It's a black box for consumers. It's not yours

On Linux everything is modular and transparent and becomes so so much more comfy and convenient if you invest a bit into it. My machine is exactly the way I want it, I understand how it works, I can change anything I want, everything is open-source and MINE, no renting, no property of Microsoft, it's MY computer, it's MY software, it serves ME

@Mr_NutterButter I'm not sure you've seen enough midgets

I can tell you right now, I have 0 (ZERO) sexual attraction to this

@Halo That's gonna suck for anyone already learning Russian
