How big is gaming in linux?

Linux gaming is growing a lot, especially in the last couple of years. You can play almost any windows game on Linux, the biggest hang-up right now is anti-cheat. Most anti-cheat made for windows will not like being emulated on Linux, and even if it works a lot of time you will run the risk of being banned.

So bigger multiplayer games, mainly AAA titles, are still lagging behind.

'No kill' meat, grown from animal cells, is now approved for sale in the U.S.

As someone who works in a dairy manufacturing facility, you really aren't making sense.

You're describing fairly straightforward industrial processes.

There is bacterial growth in every single food manufacturing facility in the world. It's unavoidable.

That's why there is constant, and I mean constant cleaning. Stainless steel or silicon are used for any surfaces that the product touches, there is a TON of QA testing done specifically for allergens and bacteria. All factories are held to regulatory standards, I can't imagine this operation would be any less safe and compliant.

Should Lemmy have Karma?

We do have a reputation system, but it is being changed. Personally, I think a points system for posts will bring us right back to what Reddit was.

You should post for the sake of engaging with the community you are posting to, but many accounts were repost bots because of the karma system.

Be careful when dual booting. I've had to manually rebuild my partition tables way too many times because Windows doesn't like to play nice. That was dual booting from the same disk though so ymmv with a dedicated nvme.

Lies of P feels fantastic

The Invincible looks really good, and seems to have a compelling story, but the execution is off. You basically click on things in the world, get some dialogue with your handler, then move on to more things to click.

Sometimes the dialogue runs really long, and you are prevented from taking most actions while it goes on. I ended up sitting still for multiple long periods and it just completely took me out of it. Could be a good book.

I'm okay with a walking simulator, but I'm not a fan of a standing simulator. There was way too much sitting and listening to keep me interested.

I loved firewatch, and I didn't get that feeling from it. It could just stand to be a little bit more interactive. It's very pretty though, I love the art and the design and the setting.

I mean, you can move, sure. The parts I'm thinking of are in the first rover you come across, and the 2nd transporter. As well as the bushes, when you learn more about those.

You can walk around a smallish confined area, and you are locked out of other interactions until the dialogue ends. It's probably not as big of an experience killer in the full game, but it really turned me off in the demo.

Anybody all caught up on From?

I really like the pace of each story thread. They do a good job of making the characters actually do things in a way that you would expect the character to do them as well. If that makes sense.

I think we got a lot more answers this season than I even anticipated, but I'm left with just as many questions and that excites me.
