Title. Game otherwise works great. Windows-using friends say it works for them. Networking is also normal on computer.

I initially thought it could be anticheat related so I disabled mangohud and made sure Easy AntiCheat was launching etc.

But no cigar, the game loads and errors out like in the pic. :

It seems to do so immediately, too, like it's not even trying to connect?

Tried it on my Deck too, same error.

Do not have a Windows PC to try it on, but it's really confusing me, because it ran perfectly until today. :P

My younger friends all talk about this Jerma person like he's some kind of mythical entity. An eldritch being that cannot be explained for any attempt at explanation inevitably fails.

I am confused. From what I could gather he's like... A streamer? Content creator?

Way back in the day, every game had its logic tied to its framerate -- As anyone who's ever tried to run an eighties PC game on a nineties PC only to see it run at 20x speed and completely unplayable can tell you.

But in the modern day this is less common. Generally the game keeps chugging along at the same pace, no matter how fast or slow the frames are being presented (unless, of course, everything is bogged down so hard that even the game logic is struggling)

And yet, you'll still find a few. Any fan of Dark Souls who played on PC back when Prepare to Die edition first came to PC will remember how unlocking the framerate could cause collision bugs and send you into the void. And I recently watched a video of a gent who massively overclocked a Nintendo Switch OLED and got Tears of the Kingdom to run at 60FPS... Except everything was, indeed, running in fast-forward, rather than just being smoother.

This makes me wonder -- Is there some unseen advantage to keeping game logic and framerate tied together? Perhaps something that only really shows on weaker hardware? Or is it just devs going "well the hardware we're targeting won't really go over this speed, and we don't really give a fuck about anything else" and not bothering to implement it?

Just an insane event from the annals of my country's history.

Youtube Channel SaveAFox, previously a channel about like, a fox sanctuary that showed cute footage of the foxes to get more donors, got hacked today.

It is now full of videos claiming to be from SpaceX and Elon Musk's ugly mug.

Thing is

It's not the first channel I've seen being hacked, nor is it the first to get that exact type of content spammed into it. Linus Tech Tips got hacked some time back (honestly I don't remember how long ago, but I was already on Lemmy, so it was within the past year and change) and it had that exact type of stuff before LMG took it back.

And there was another random channel that I saw suffer the same fate some months before LTT.

My question is -- Why Elon Musk? Why SpaceX/Tesla? Is Musk himself paying people to build zombie farms for him? I wouldn't put it past him but at the same time he has the funds to not need that kind of tactic -- He could astroturf by more "legit-looking" means.

Is it just because people who like Musk are more likely to fall for scams?

Idk, found myself wondering that.

I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.

I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.

The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.

Pokémon's too easy to be fun anymore, but Nuzlockes don't work for me for a number of reasons. So I figured I'd play one of those romhacks that redesigns trainer teams -- That way I could play the game normally but also would have to use my brain.

Any base game will do, although I'm not too fond of Gen4 because of how slow Gen4 pokémon games tend to be (gen5 is the prettiest, ofc)
