Finally managed to properly install Caesar III under #Linux, to run under the open source re-implementation of the gaming engine, #Augustus. It wasn't as straightforward under Linux due to case sensitivity on files, and a special tool to unarchive shielded .cab files, but it worked at the end thanks to the wiki. Bear in mind, the game requires the original artwork from 1998 (easily found online).

Since migrating between storage devices is my new hobby, apparently, I now moved my /home directory back onto my SSDs in RAID1. The four HDDs in RAID10 are now my games drive. Nice and fast again. All devices are 1 TB.
What's cool about RAID10 is that it can be converted to RAID0 in place. So when I out of game space and I don't care about keeping the install directories safe (mods, etc.), I can just double my capacity. Neat!

A tough night and disappointing result on the streets of Chicago. We made a couple mistakes, but the biggest of the bunch came in the final stage while running in 2nd. Misjudged the entry into turn 2 and slapped the wall, causing significant suspension damage.
Tearing up race cars is not how we want to show off our Shark Allies paint scheme. Hoping to turn our performance back around for the remaining races in July.

Download the #Linux binary file, and put it under a local folder (e.g. uncompress it under ~/Applications/). Then edit its /config/simuconf.tab to uncomment and change the option singleuser_install to 1. This will save all downloaded paks & save data on its own folder, instead of your home folder.

Just started playing Graveyard Keeper and it's interesting but it seems really grindy. Hopefully it starts picking up a bit as I play. I'm also wondering if I should get any of the DLC now or wait a bit. The DLC is on pretty good sale right now on Steam so that might be something good to pick up.
It sounds silly, but is there an app where you can plan which games you want to play on which days?
My house is literally overflowing with consoles, but most of the time I don't feel like playing anything, and when I do, I spend more time deciding which game to choose
Does anyone know more about the Linux scheduler? Like, how does it behave when some tasks are pinned to certain cores while others are not? Does other tasks natually tend to stay away from those "reserved" cores?
I would appreciate any resources on this topic. It's interesting.

I always wondered why my 3900X with 64 MB of cache performs so much worse than a 5700X3D with 96 MB of cache. It's only ⅓ more cache, after all.
Well, `lstopo` had the answer. The cache is split into 4 chunks (CCXs), so a single thread only really has 16 MB of cache available.
I actually managed to gain a few FPS through isolating a group of cores that share an L3 cache by manually setting CPU affinity.

The month of June was super exciting for all of us at Jennifer Ann’s Group. We had the opportunity to teach one of the courses presented to Project TIDAL participants.
Project TIDAL is an NIH funded study that focuses on trauma-informed data science for abuse prevention in the lives of women- with a focus on pregnancy and postpartum.
The digital games from our Gaming Against Violence program were used to show the value and impact behind what we do, and how thinking outside the box is vital when working towards violence prevention!
Our trauma informed, non-violent games help teach people of all ages about healthy relationships, warning signs, and preventative factors to help stop intimate partner violence.
I’m honored, as a mother and part JAG, to have been a small piece of this wonderful study! 🤍✨💜

I would say that the 20 years of #gaming has continued the same style.
'Take Unmetal' is a #retro game made in 2021. This can be said because it reflects a style modern games don't tend to use. But many AAA games today play close enough to the games 20 years ago, we can't state these new games to be retro.
Maybe if Xbox had new controller designs like Nintendo we would have a different story.
Or another example. I wouldn't call Fallout 3 retro, except there has been a shift in PC gaming to be more controller friendly, so there is a style to controls and gameplay which you don't find today.

I have nearly exhausted this playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 on PC (which yeah, def superior to the PS5, super happy I have a PC capable of running it well now lol).
I have seen nearly all the endings, including one of the Phantom Liberty ones (I went with Songbird), save for the "hidden" ending (which I looked up after seeing the rest, and I dunno that I want to play through the game again to set that one up. .. yet)
Fittingly, there are no "good" endings in Night City.
Currently running down all the NCPD Scanner missions, as that's about all I have left to do that I want to actually bother doing. Much as I very much enjoy this game, I've now put another 160 hours into it (prob 170 when I get done with the Scanners) so it's about time to move on. IIRC, I dropped about the same amount of hours in game on the PS5, heh.

After another playthrough as Belgium, I have to say it's one of the easiest nations to play in Victoria 3.
You start way ahead, not having to rush railways, or colonisation, or any of the other "must have" technologies.
Belgium is both physically, and politically, well places to take advantage of Prussia, Austria, France, and England, even if you get screwed via the Conference of London; get your relations high enough, and most of Europe will follow you into a war against The Netherlands.
You're well positioned to start colonising Africa early, and if you can punch through to Sokoto (I went via Oyo), you'll have a ready Colonial Administration state with nearly £50m GDP. This is a game changer mid-game.
By late game you can start working on Afghan/Pakistan states like Makran, Kandahar, and Kabul, which will prop up your industry to carry you through to WWI.
The release dates for Insomniac’s upcoming games have been leaked:
🔹Venom game in 2026 instead of 2025
🔹Wolverine game in 2027 instead of 2026
🔹Spider-Man 3 game in 2029 instead of 2028
This means a full one-year delay for each project, likely due to the data leak that caused numerous issues and required redevelopment of the studio’s games.

My #youtube channel, formerly known as BlindlyCoding, is now named ViewpointUnseen. This allows me to broaden the content on that channel to include a lot more different types of content, from tutorials for the #blind from a #blindness perspective, tech reviews from that same perspective, #gaming streams as well as reaction content when I find sufficient things to react to.
I think there's a lot of value I can offer to the world at large with stuff that's currently locked inside my head and having a bit more time during the work week allows me to spend more time on #contentCreation. Screen reader tutorials? Hacking streams? Videogames? Reviewing pieces of tech and supplying #accessibility recommendations to users AND developers/creators? Yes, all of that and more. Stay tuned!
I’m honestly disgusted seeing people rally to preserve old games but not lift a finger to sign a single trans rights petition. If you can take the time and energy to fight for saving pixels, you can definitely sign a petition to protect real lives. It’s pathetic and frankly makes me want to puke.
Don’t tell me you care about trans rights if you won’t back it up with action. Supporting trans rights isn’t harder than supporting game preservation, it just requires the same commitment and care. If you can click “save game,” you can click “sign petition.” It’s that simple.

Guess I'll give some unasked for Rimworld advice.
Minefields! Best things. Deal with most attacks without much effort. Tame some Boomalopes and milk 'em for fuel. Secondary to this is a good mortar position inside the base. Mortars will clean up most things mines don't.
Plan for volcanic and toxic atmosphere events. Indoor barn well provisioned with hay. Slaughter down your herds and ride out the down time. Hydroponic farms also a must to keep food levels up (and they're just faster and make sense).
Research-race for ground penetrating scanners and fabrication benches. Endless supply of metals and components.
Mechas aren't that good for defence, but they're great for sweeping floors, carrying shit and maintaining the hydro farms. Just plan for eliminating the toxic waste. EZ-mode way is unlock shuttles from becoming noble and just dump that shit 'elsewhere', but wastepack atomisers are good also (just annoying to get components for).
Genetically altered slaves are awesome. Create a virus they can pass on to each other that nerfs aggression while turning them into healthy, furry (no clothing needed), brain fried, happy ... slaves.
Highly consider a techno-humanist religion. Comes with tons of benefits like faster research, love of bionics and demands for age-reversal. Follow the precepts and it'll deliver immortal, bionic pawns that are very hard to kill.
Don't overdo vampires - or Sanguophages or whatever they're called. A few are awesome, and great for key roles like leaders and mecha peeps, but too many will create a blood demand that's hard to keep up with. (Creating a slave like virus just for the blood cows can help here.) Vamps are also great to extract genes from to create an immortality virus for the rest of the colony pawns.
Oh, and play Rimworld on no-save mode! It's not a game to be won. It's a story generator. Take the hits, enjoy the conflict and self-generating plot.
Hell, some of the best playthroughs I've had came from taking the 'land on a planet alone and naked with nothing' option.
Sure, it usually ended in misery. But that's kinda the point. 😊
