There are some moderation actions you can do from a different instance, I’m not sure which ones don’t work or if they’ve all been fixed

You should create an account on a different instance and appoint yourself as moderator, at least for times when you don’t want to get on VPN, like using an app on your phone

For Deus Ex, try Zero Rando, it has a brightness boost option that works differently

It does mean he’s far above the average person (which isn’t saying much, the average person probably has less than an hour of firearms training, and maybe a few hours of martial arts training at most)

So if he had a gun you’d likely be in trouble.

Lol, you’re not wrong

So, if a lot of your viewers think your channel is good enough to donate to, ad money basically becomes an afterthought.

I don’t think this is realistic, most people will not open their wallets, especially since they can’t just go around paying a monthly subscription to everyone they watch. Even if their Patreon earnings were higher, I doubt their YouTube earnings would be insignificant.

Dead Meat starts at $1 per month not $5, they have 23,300 paid members. But their YouTube looks like it gets millions of views per month (you don’t only get views on new videos like you suggested, but old videos can get lots of views too as you build up a back catalog). And this is a channel that I found by doing a Google search for most successful YouTube Patreons.

Wow their YouTube has 2.97 billion views

Lemmy has that too (depending which app/frontend you use)

Doesn’t PieFed already do this?

Is this the tipping point? There was another popular Youtuber who made a similar video recently, I forget who, but I could see videos like this bringing enough users to make Linux more than a drop in the bucket.

I don’t think it’s a complete list, but also there’s no way to filter by which ones have the ActivityPub plugin

there’s a plugin for it

There’s been a pivot away from “classic” speedruns games over the last few years - I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year, but it seems like the games that kicked off the speedrun scene are often overlooked these days.

I definitely always want 80s/90s games in GDQ lol, but I’m old so what do I know, I can still enjoy newer games sometimes

Like the 2016 Doom onwards, the runs are technically outstanding, but there’s a lot of walking on invisible geometry with collision detection, or random tricks like railboosting in Doom that seems to break a game.

but the glitchless/etc runs of those Doom games on high difficulty are amazing, Doom Eternal is so fast it’s basically a single-player e-sport

Any runs you’re looking forward to?

Castlevania games, Resident Evil games, Titanfall 2, Doom Dark Ages, Halo Reach (4 player co-op!), Mario Maker relay race, Mario 3, and of course the Silly Games block

But usually my favorite runs are the ones I don’t expect

Vulkan devices that lack the required feature support to run DXVK will no longer be listed as DXGI / D3D9 adapters. This may fix crashes in case an outdated graphics driver or an unsupported integrated GPU are present on the system.

This sounds good, I think laptop users sometimes ran into this issue in Deus Ex Randomizer, since we pack in DXVK for Windows users (we check if they have Vulkan support first) to improve compatibility and performance. It’s also a good way to automatically set a frame rate limit for the game, because our installer automatically creates the dxvk.conf file.

DXVK has been really amazing for Deus Ex on Windows (and obviously Linux too)

The name change definitely confused some people, but keep at it!

oh I guess that’s only confusing for Lemmy users since Lemmy has a different sorting method that is called “Active” lol

I believe Lemmy has rate limits for requests by default, so it’s not as easy to brute force a password as you suggest. But something like this is always a good feature for additional security.

I think forcing the user to reset their password because someone is trying to guess their password probably doesn’t make sense unless they got it right. It would be annoying if a troll did this to your account.
