“npm install” in particular is getting me.

JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice ChatEnglish33·1 month agoI don’t see the game getting either of those things.
Duos, you can already do, you just have to take on a rando as a third. They could scale the difficulty down for 2 players, sure, but Elden Ring’s mutiplayer scaling is notoriously terrible, in part because no amount of scaling can account for the lost potential for splitting aggro, in a game where splitting aggro is king.
Voice chat is something that FromSoft has INTENTIONALLY never included in any prior game, despite there being co-op in all of them. Making players coordinate with each other with very limited communication tools is one of FromSoft’s signature design choices. The fast pace of this game compared to prior games makes the lack of communication tools hurt a lot more, for sure, but it’s still very much playable. Anyone who dislikes this design choice is absolutely free to, but it’s not gonna change.

I’ll also note that Coffee Stain is based in Sweden, where all the things that make them great (I.E. the way devs are treated, which lets them thrive and make great shit) isn’t about to change.
So, I think it’s worth tempering the pessimism a bit, for now. We’ll have to see how it plays out.
JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Embracer to spin off Coffee Stain Group – remaining business to be renamed Fellowship EntertainmentEnglish1·1 month agoWhat makes you say that? Do you say “everything else” to mean all the studios that aren’t splitting off along with Coffee Stain? From what’s here, I don’t see why Coffee Stain is in any different boat than everyone else underneath “Coffee Stain Group”.
JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English1·2 months agoI’ll take another look, but I didn’t see any such setting when I was trying to diagnose. And I haven’t changed any Plex settings since the last time we had an internet outage and it worked properly, just a month or two ago.
JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English362·2 months agoI recently discovered that Plex no longer works over local network, if you lose internet service. A) you can’t login without internet access. B) even if you’re already logged in, apps do not find and recognize your local server without internet access. So, yeah, Plex is already there.

JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Texas Democrats Help Pass Bill Letting Fetuses Count for the HOV LaneEnglish138·2 months agoThis isn’t just a horrifically-misleading headline, it’s straight-up false.
The bill originally was written to directly establish personhood of a fetus, but Democrats got an amendment in that keeps the “pregnant mothers get to use the carpool lane” part, without the language that establishes personhood for a fetus. They literally called the Republicans’ bluff on “this bill is about supporting mothers”, by making that specific. This caused one Republican to retract his vote, because the amendment “guts the pro-life purpose of the bill”.

JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Programming@programming.dev•Courses for SIMPLE, website-orientated, javascript developmentEnglish1·2 months agoHonestly, if you’re having trouble finding stuff for vanilla JS, I’d recommend looking at jQuery. Not that you should USE jQuery, necessarily, but the library is basically a giant wrapper around all the native JS APIs, so the approach to building stuff is essentially the same: it all focuses on tracking and manipulation of DOM elements.
I do vanilla JS (actually TypeScript) dev at work, daily, and that was my big takeaway from spearheding our team’s migration from jQuery to vanilla TypeScript: I honestly don’t know what benefit jQuery provides, over vanilla, because all the most-common jQuery APIs that we were using have a 1:1 native equivalent.
We do also use 2 third-party libraries alongside vanilla, so I’l mention those: require.js and rx.js. Require you probably don’t need, with modern JS having bundling and module support built-in but we still use it for legacy reasons. But rx.js is a huge recommend, for me. Reactive programming is the IDEAL way to build GUIs, in my opinion.
JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•What have been the games whose writing really got into you?English4·2 months agoBlue Prince sure feels like it counts, our whole family is hooked, and has been playing it every day for about 2 weeks now. Even well after rolling credits.
In a similar vein, I’d have to say Hollow Knight and Outer Wilds. Together with Blue Prince, they all have a storytelling strategy of “you have to put some effort into getting the story out of it”, but the effort makes every new discovery or revelation feel super rewarding.
Celeste is the one that comes to mind for a more traditional story that REALLY hit.
Persona 5 comes to mind, too. I was ENGROSSED in that story for months. Even if it went off the rails a couple times.
I’m also gonna shout-out Tales of Symphonia. That game was formative for me.
Wouldn’t be the one where Lrrr and Nd’Nd break up for s bit, woul it?

I’ve tried a few times in the past to find a frontend for postgres that I liked, and was never able to. Will have to give this a try.
JakenVeina@lemm.eeto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Just a few role models to watch you sleepEnglish4·3 months agoHe was much less vocal in the past, back when SpaceX and Tesla were getting big. He barely HAD any amount of public persona, so people just associated him with the cool tech that the companies were doing. That was also before he started taking direct control over technical decisions, so the tech they were outti g out was actually pretty cool.
Something around… like 8 years ago?.. made him lose his good sense for keeping his mouth shut. Obvious bet would be the ketamine.
JakenVeina@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do I use HTTPS on a private LAN without self-signed certs?English72·3 months agoThe most straightforward thing to do, on a private LAN, is to make all your own certs, from a custom root cert, and then manually install that cert as “trusted” on each machine. If none of the machines on this network need to accessed from outside the LAN, then you’re golden.

I’ll believe it when I’m playing it.
Fun fact: Roko’s basilisk is not from QC. It’s a thought experiment about AI that predates the comic character by about 6 years. The character’s just named after it.
