I would disagree. IMO there is even less benefit in building a community of trust, talking about not using AI with that community,then the moment the launch crunch happens go all in on AI and lie about it.

Did you read the next sentence, where they did neither, and are now just lying about their AI use, and seem to have doubled down on it?

A lot of devs are already lying about AI usage, because the AI disclosure kills engagement even without a filter.
A random example is Soul’s Remnant, cute little indie MMO - right before launch they added several major features, and 20+ languages. When questioned about it, they admitted on their discord to using AI translations… And said they would take down the translations rather than use AI disclosures.
Within 3 weeks they had 10 updates with mile-long patch notes as a team of 2, and they never took put the AI translations or added a disclosure.

And MPC is Windows?

Now that is the arch of the self hosted streaming community.

No, Lutris, Faugus Launcher, Bottles, Heroic all use their own custom “boot the launcher then the game” commands, and no, they don’t let you change that. This is not even considering steam games in the equation.
I don’t know what other tools than “make my own bash script” are available for easy non-steam library management, but if you know one that isn’t vibe-coded garbage, I would be happy to try it!
LSD, shrooms, weed can DEFINITELY permanently fuck you up in large doses. I wasn’t referencing sane recreational amounts, I meant amounts only an idiot would consume.
For those that are intrigued/confused, there is no actual whipped cream being made, inhaling compressed NO2 is just an easy way to get a quick, very temporary high (generally called ‘whippets’.
This does fuck you up long term, especially higher doses, just like every other drug on the market.

Honestly, my biggest issue with gaming on linux is that every damn launcher copies steam’s format - I want a (non vibe-coded) launcher that just makes a desktop file with a proper icon, and has a launch command.
I dont want the launcher to insert itself into the command, I want it to build the command I would use myself if I decided to delete the launcher.
Not sure why that’s so hard, its not like the launcher is actually needed for a game to launch.
I remember playing thief:deadly shadows as a kid (early teens?), and thinking it was OK… Until I got to the creepy ass zombies, at which point I noped out and never touched a thief game again.

That isn’t ‘coming back’. Thats ‘we have the rights to the name,so let’s launch a new program with the same name to get free clout and easy money’.
Yeah it will, if you have even a single reference to a wildcard, preferably as one of your first entries in your caddyfile.

You can literally get a wildcard cert by putting in the following entry, before any other routing logic:
*.domain.tld {
respond "Wildcard Bitch!"
}
2 different versions of outlook that don’t work for some reason.
Fuck new outlook btw
So you would be fine with trying out a game, only to find an undisclosed AI had mangled your native language, and that there were UI issues caused by untested localisation code?
