I love little computing victories like this that are only possible when source code is available. Not a programmer either, but I once modified the source for, and compiled the xinput driver to add support for my controller. It only needed an entry in the device list to work properly

fuck showing a victorian child mountain dew and fortnite. if you put a visual novel or game like baby steps in front of your average gamer they'd puke and shit their pants

unwilling to engage with games as art, something they often claim games are. convinced that there's a theoretical "perfect" level of design that we are slowly moving towards by sanding off all the edges and there's "no reason" to go back and do things "the bad way"

to be clear - i still moved to linux as my daily driver well over a year ago. nobara at first. once i realized everything that made it special just came from cachyos, moved to cachyos

i have a windows install i still maintain "just in case", i even got secure boot working. don't really use it tho

i could learn famistudio or furnace in place of famitracker. i'm told FL studio works well in wine - at least until you get to using third party plugins. sounds alright until you want to use kontakt or any other big name vst. art heads stuck with adobe can choose...krita?

some programs exist for this stuff. davinci resolve is on linux. kdenlive exists as a somewhat simpler option. audio work i'm a bit more familiar with and...yeah, the proprietary stuff i depended on in windows doesn't work well in wine. forget about it completely if you use adobe software, too.

I've seen some Gamers say the AI shit in COD isn't a big deal because it's just some banners 'you're barely going to see'. It made me wonder what % of the game has to be obviously wretched slop before they'd care. Given that they're already using the mtx defense...
