@PurpCat @tadano People have been making Source engine games/mods that are graphically comparable to HL2 for years. Most games that share the same engine also share base character models, even if they are made by different companies, so at least part of the artist work is already done.

@binkle I don't know if it's just Zuckerberg seizing the opportunity after Elon Musk shot himself in the foot or it's an attempt at reputation repair. Facebook most likely started off as a DARPA project (look up LifeLog), so it's important to them that Facebook stays relevant no matter what.

@binkle A few days ago, Zuckerberg said that Meta would be pro-free speech (whether or not it's true is up in the air) and the few Mastodon instances that haven't blocked threads are now blocking it.

@bonifartius Stux is the biggest virtue signalling admin on the entire fediverse.

>Avoid capitalists spaces. You have no right to free speech on private spaces
<"Capitalist" space suddenly claims to be pro-freespeech
>DEFEDERATE FROM THREADS!!! Instances that allow anti-LGBT rhetoric have no place in our "public space"

Imagine this being the reason to finally block Threads, instead of concerns about EEE. Not like Cuckerberg is actually going to allow freezepeach anyway.

>It's not about accuracy, it's about the "aesthetic"

Yeah, but I'd argue that the texture warping was part of the aesthetic.

@PurpCat @tadano You can't accurately replicate PS1 graphics without disabling floating-point calculations during the rendering process. Personally, I think it's easier to replicate N64 graphics (just blur the textures) or Sega Saturn graphics (use quads instead of tris).

OpenMandriva seems to be ever better than I thought. In addition to being anti-woke, they try to make their distro independent to Big Tech as possible. They even ship Ungoogle Chromium as the default browser. This might be my go-to recommendation for Linux distros, but I need to try it for myself.

My only beef with it is that the download page seems to be confusing, and I'm not sure about using clang instead of GCC.
