Yeah the issue is the tools. They’re what I have a hard time with in the VMs. I have no idea why

AlexWIWA, to linux in Based KDE 🗿

It can but it’s already a headache to get the tools running, and adding in the VM layer can add more headaches.

Usually the compatibility patches make the games work in the VM, but the map editors and modding tools had a lot of issues last time I tried.

The tooling around those games was incredibly barbones so there are probably a lot of hacks going on that the VM wasn’t properly stimulating.

The simple solution here is to just move on and play a game that isn’t old enough to drink, lol.

How do I do thing that I do every day, but in this language I’m using today

Modding is definitely a nightmare though. One day I’m writing the latest python. The next I’m looking at some C library that was published half a decade before I was born and is for some reason deep in the bowels of the game engine I’m modding

I don’t think you understand how zealous C&C fans are. Some of us have entire XP machines with CRT monitors just to play the game in its purest form. We’re about as culty as Linux.

But it’s also not just one program, it’s all the c&c games, their map editors, mod loaders, and any modding tools. World builder is just an example.

I still have to look up basic things even when I’m doing that, sadly.

Things like “how do I reverse an array?” Will always be in my Google history because I can’t remember “.reverse” exists.

Could I reimplement “.reverse” or just read the docs for an array? Yes. Will I? Never.

Because I need Windows to run old C&C games. Get Generals world builder working on Linux and I’ll delete my dual boot

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

For sure no disrespect to star trek fans. I’ve just never watched it. I don’t want to block the people I just want to filter out the memes I don’t understand.

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

That’s fair. Hadn’t considered that

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Blinded?

But yes absolutely. I vividly remember the first time I saw that menu at a friend’s house. Actual core memory for me

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

My biggest issue is I always forget my good shit posts by the time I have time to post. Getting old sucks

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Nope, I just don’t want the place overrun by people who are mostly just around to flame and insult.

Pick up moderating a few large subreddits and you’ll see what I mean. Even on a small sub like /r/Infiniti, I’ve seen a massive increase in people just being pricks, especially after a cross post. Smaller user base makes it less likely.

Like I said in another post, I don’t like using the word normie because it’s not actually descriptive of the behavior I’m talking about, but it’s the word the thread is using.

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Your grandstanding is cringe. This is a forum, not a political movement. If you want normie content then go back to Reddit. When I want normie content I’ll use TikTok.

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Typical down vote and smarmy useless comments. Feels like you want to go back home.

AlexWIWA, to memes in Why? Are we not doing enough?

Gotta appeal to advertisers that want the normie eye balls.

I hate using the word normie, because these people truthfully haven’t done anything wrong. It’s the advertisers that follow them around like vampires that are the issue.
