  • Is there a good transportation game that actually simulates traffic as well as factorio does trains?

    Jump

  • I love engineering games like that but I don't believe any game will check all the boxes you want.

    Like others here I vouch for Satisfactory Trucks and especially the Railways. You can go quite deep there if you want. Drones do the clipping and are bit too easy so skip them.

    While not what you exactly wished I'd say give Transport Tycoon or rather OpenTTD a go. While not as pedantic with traffic as you hope you will have a blast of a time doing beautifully orchestrated trains, airports, ferries and trucks/busses and optimizing the routes from resources to consumers.

    And to reiterate. I don't believe a game exists that matches most of your wishes. I hope it will eventually!

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

    Jump

  • I used to selfhost Nexcloud in OVH (or rather Owncloud back then) but I tire of the update cycle and now I'm just paying for Hetzner for their Storage Box or whatever their Nextcloud product is called. I love selfhosting and don't mind doing it at work but for some reason Nextcloud was annoying enough for me to switch paying to someone else to update it.

  • 1000 games of Freecell down. What now?

    Jump

  • Buy Freecell Quest when it's on sale. It took me 60 hours to completely beat it and I had a blast with it.

  • Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?

    Jump

  • I knew someone would mention joe! It was the first editor I was taught.

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

    Jump

  • No. It's never shut down. I suspend it when I'm not using it but never shut down.

    I used to keep everything running and only turn off the screens but I changed my habit and there was a minor monthly electricity bill decrease that was worth it.

  • My thoughts shopping around for a wiki solution

    Jump

  • I did the same search some six years ago for our company and ended up with MediaWiki. We had two requirements: ACL and Ease of Use for non-technical people.

    Both of the above are missing in the plain MediaWiki but extensions helped out. There were few different ACL extensions and I can't remember which one I picked. Ultimately now we have the secret access controlled side of the wiki and the internal "public" side where everyone can access.

    VisualEditor was a key extension. It's a rich text editor with minimal fuzz for MediaWiki. Users never have to deal with the MediaWiki markup which is a must for non-technical users.

  • Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up?

    Jump

  • None of my wishlist games were under 10€ so I skipped all of the deals there. Instead I bought (or put to the cart as I wanna sleep over my decisions) lots of DLCs to Total War Warhammers, Powerwash Simulator and other games I already own and like to play.

    One new game I want to purchase is the Case of the Golden Idol which looks really interesting

  • (SOLVED) Where did all my space go?

    Jump

  • I had the exact same problem on one of my virtual boxes. The problem baffled me for two years and I just added more space to the box a few times to fight it as I couldn't solve the issue. It wasn't the inodes, deleted but open files or anything common like that.

    The problem was my mounts. I had occasionally failing mounts combined with crontabs that accessed and wrote data to those mounts. Do you know what happens when you accidentally wrote let's say 200gb data to /mnt/a and then later mount a drive over that mount point? It magically 'disappears' as you'd exclude that mount from the calculations.

    Might be you don't have anything mounted and none of the above is useful to you. But this solved my issue and it's quite curious and silly. Just set up mount points to not be writeable and problem went away.

  • Is it so hard to get Nvidia GPUs working with Linux?

    Jump

  • I used Linux Mint and GTX 2070 for over a half a year without any major problems. Installation was incredibly easy as there was a dialog box asking to install drivers and everything just worked. I have 4 monitor setup even.

    Ultimately I switched to AMD (last week) because of the tiny problems that I experienced but mostly because I wanted to support AMD and could reason for an GPU upgrade.

  • Who else love the Steam Deck?

    Jump

  • This year I made a 'promise' to play the top 20 NES games as when I was a child/teen I never managed to beat any of those.

    Steam Deck is such a boon that I can play my nostalgia games one hour before when I go to bed instead of doom scrolling reddit or whatever.

    And I have actually beaten smb 1 and ninja gaiden (with save states) and megaman 2 without any saves and I feel so good!

  • [Help] How stable are Decky Loader and its plugins in 2025 ?

    Jump

  • I have to be bit against decky. Out of the five steam deck crashes I've had past year all of them were because of decky frontend. At least that was what the crash report said and it had also option of disabling decky until next reboot. So my experience was decky crash -> no decky&happy -> system upgrade -> decky crash -> no decky &happy -> system upgrade... rinse & repeat

    I'm not a decky (or steam deck) power user and last I checked the uninstall was not trivial so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I wish I never installed decky.

  • Anubis enabled / Anubis otettu käyttöön

    Jump

  • Voyager toimii taas. Hurraa! Kiitos korjauksesta ja kiva että opit seikkailusta :)

  • Sorry, but which of these distros is right for me?

    Jump

  • One of the things you could do as a new Linux user is to try out some support questions with your favorite search engine. Try 'catchyos my headset mic is not working' or 'nobara how do I change my background wallpaper every 15 minutes' or '

    <distro name>

    <real problem you've had the past 2 years>'.

    This approach will give you an realistic view how much support you will have when you're dealing with an actual problem.

  • US-EU trade deal is a ‘dark day’ for Europe, says French PM

    Jump

  • I keep hearing this 15% tariff from EU to US. What's EUs counter tariff to from US to EU. 15%? 10%? 0%? Wtf.

  • [Solved] I can't get lotro to work on Opensuse Tumbleweed

    Jump

  • I'm running lotro via Lutris happily on Mint. Your case sounds like a permission problem somewhere as the launcher works.

    This is farfetched I know but try a nuclear option and use another distro to install lotro via Lutris to a shared mount and then mount & run it from there in your distro.

  • I'm going against the grain and say I love watching someone else play the game they're good at. And I will provoke a bit and say it's the same as watching someone pro playing football versus playing it yourself.

    I cannot play horror games at all but I will consume every and all playthroughs of known good horror games. Then again I would never watch someone play crpg or mmo, the games I'm actually good at.

    I just love to see some high level rocket league game play or trackmania or Fortnite or a Elden Ring challenge run versus playing myself those games. I have limited time but want to experience many games and I feel watching them is almost as good as playing them without actually spending thousands of hours getting good.

  • Steam Deck / Gaming News #8

    Jump

  • The Balatro Timeline — LocalThunk Blog

    Jump

  • Awesome read. I bought the game few weeks ago and the tutorial was a huge letdown. I'm glad I took time and played the game instead of trying to understand the tutorial which made the game look so complicated and confusing. I hope they remake it someday and summarize it instead of overexplaining.

    Been playing for ten hours now and hoping to win with each deck. So much fun!
