My children enjoy playing, but both of their accounts were suddenly banned (or deleted?) today and we don’t know why.

I sent an appeal but I have two sad kiddos. I don’t play and I’m not familiar with how it works, but I’d appreciate any insight on this or suggestions about how to get it working again. #gaming

I love watching all these 'live services' games come out and then fall flat on their faces. Like, its so obviously a bunch of investors saw the success of those types of games 3 years ago, invested in a bunch of studios, forced them to make that kind of game without understanding the market, and now those games have been coming out and are falling flat on their faces.

Contraversial opinion here, but video games are too big and storage is too expensive.

Discord goes full enshittification - wo geht die Reise nun hin?

Persönlich konnte ich noch nie nachvollziehen, weshalb Discord unter Spieler:innen ein so gutes Standing hat, dass es für Multiplayer, Entwickler:innen-Feedback und Frühstücksgespräche zur Nutzung noch selbstverständlicher ist, als WhatsApp für Muttis Kaffeeklatsch: Permanente Freemium-Abo-Bettelei, Client-Zwang (was waren das bei ICQ noch Debatten, ob nun Miranda oder Trillian der heiße shit ist), keine PWA. Mit der jüngsten Ankündigung, nach automatisierter Account-Analyse ab März Konten einzuschränken, scheint sich der Wind nun aber zu drehen: Wurde beschwichtigt, dass die Verifizierung per Ausweis oder Videoanalyse ohnehin nur wenige trifft, welche als (in DE) U16 eingeschätzt werden, meldet PC Gamer, dass man zumindest vereinzelt in UK schon einmal Peter Thiels Persona-Analyse kosten wird. Dass - ebenfalls für März - der Börsengang erwartet wird, dürften wohl nur noch die Naivsten als Zufall betrachten. Und was da auf die Community noch zukommt, wenn die Shareholder:innen quartalsweise ihr Glück einfordern, vermag man sich kaum auszumalen.

Die gute Laune ist jedenfalls vorbei. Stellt sich die Frage: Wo geht eure Reise hin? Schaue ich mich in verschiedenen Gruppen um, erlebe ich wie üblich jene Gruppe als die lauteste, welche mit Verweis auf ihre Instagram-Konten der Überzeugung ist, dass es mit dem drölfzigste Dienst, der nun auch ihre Daten auswertet, Unsinn wäre, bei Discord zur Abwechslung mal aus Überzeugung Konsequenzen zu ziehen und sich zu verabschieden. In der PARTEI habe ich bereits vorgeschlagen, einen discordfreien Freitag einzuführen, an dem allen Usern der genutzten "Server" das Schreibrecht mit Verweis auf weniger abstoßende Alternativen jeweils für 24 Stunden entzogen wird. Sanfter Entzug sozusagen. Einig ist man sich unter jenen, die genug von Discord haben, aber nicht einmal, wo es hingehen soll.

• Team Früher war alles besser möchte #TeamSpeak entstauben. Das habe ich damals tatsächlich noch seltener als heute Discord genutzt, sodass ich mir kaum ein Urteil bilden möchte. Alles, was ich damit verbinde, ist eine UI, die sich schwer nach 90-er Jahre anfühlte.
• Zu Matrix/Element habe ich über die Jahre immer wieder die Kritik einer Discordisierung der Entwicklung vernommen. Schon daher erscheint mir der Wechsel naheliegend - zugleich ist die Kritik am Dienst von Admins und User:innen (Tracking in Element als gefühlt offizieller Client, Update-Probleme, Serverschließungen, fehlende Nutzer:innenfreundlichkeit der Oberfläche u.v.m.) gerade im Fediverse über die Jahre kaum zu überlesen. Als Gelegenheitsnutzer konnte ich diese nie 100%-ig nachvollziehen, wenngleich das Onboarding, wie bei Mastodon, für nicht-technikaffine sicherlich halbwegs ein Graus bleibt. Nur: Das empfand ich bei Discord als wesentlich schlimmer - und dort kam noch die Abo-Werbung zu dem Erlebnis dazu.
• Bei PieFed wirbt man aktuell für einen Umstieg auf den eigenen, Lemmy-ähnlichen Dienst im Fediverse. Gerade für Supportanfragen konnte ich nie nachvollziehen, weshalb man dazu ausgerechnet eine Chat-Plattform nutzt, wo sich identische/ähnliche Anfragen massiv häufen. Der Tod der Foren ist mir ein Graus, nur sehe ich in der Rückkehr keine Lösung für die Multiplayer-"Server" bei Discord.
• Fluxer preist sich auf der Website gefühlt als 1:1-Alternative für enttäuschte Discord-User an. Open Source, Selfhosting von Instanzen inklusive Umzugsmöglichkeit. Nur wird das Ding eben von einer schwedischen AB (~GmbH) betrieben und wirbt eifrig für "Visionary"- und "Plutonium"-Abos. Stellt sich mir die Frage: Auch wenn ich für solche Dienste verstehe, dass da einiges an Geld für den Betrieb rumkommen muss - hätte man hier, wie bei ActivityPub im Fediverse, im Zweifel tatsächlich die Möglichkeit, sich komplett von den Gründer:innen abzuwenden und den Dienst mit einem Fork oder Alternativdienst weiter zu nutzen, ohne auf die Erreichbarkeit alter Kontakte zu verzichten, oder ist das so eine pseudo-offene Geschichte wie bei Signal, die zwar jeder selber hosten könnte, dann aber komplett vom Rest der Userbasis abgeschnitten wäre? Ich lese viel von Interesse, aber wenig Erfahrungsberichte zu dem Dienst.

Oder habt ihr noch einen ganz anderen Ausweg im Blick? Seid mit der Entwicklung selbst einverstanden?

The whole "Focus, M" parody thing has been fascinating. One, because it was so true in how it really got to the heart of modern AAA games. But also, it has revealed an interesting feature of the gamer psyche; the "I have a deeper understanding of this than you" complex.

Naturally, this meme has spawned lots of riffs where the AAA-ify other games. And no matter how spot on they are, someone will inevitably comment: "People really didn't understand 'Focus, M', huh?"

I have decided to microblog my journey installing #LinuxMint, this time. I don't feel that it gets enough attention for how dead simple it usually is.

This morning I needed Valve's Steam to set up my game library, and I needed to install my favorite password manager.

To install Steam, I had to search for it in the 'Software Manager' and click install, and then enter my password.

To install my Password manager, I visited the download page and was offered a choice of .Deb or .rpm file.

I happen to know the RPM wouldn't have done anything on Mint, so I downloaded the .deb and then double-clicked on it. It needed some additional packages, so I had to enter my password a second time and press 'Ok'.

As a die hard command line user, this is still how I setup Linux. Even in terms of keypress count, this was just easy.

But...stay tuned and I'll probably share some zany command line stuff that I still do to setup my environment just the way I like it. Solutions that I wrote for myself aren't in the software manager (yet), after all.

I have to state that there are still multi button gaming mice available, where you can assign different functions to them, including scroll wheels, in both Open Source Operating Systems and Closed Source.
In your case you would disable the scroll wheel. However I have the feeling that's not what you're looking for.

You don't want a scroll wheel at all.

That means that it is an ergonomic preference

Are my assumptions true?

So, I'm a sucker for sales, especially sales for things I like.

I've been waiting for one of the F/A-18 models to go on sale in War Thunder. One did, and I think I got the best.

The CF-188, Canada's version of the F/A-18 went on sale, and I bought it.

Why is it so awesome? It's got everything the American F/A-18 has, except the false cockpit. Canada, being weird as shit (love you for it), stuck a false cockpit on the underside (barely visible in the image) to fool anyone wanting to dogfight it.

It truly is a CF-188, not an F/A-18
