u/NotScrollsApparently

I dont mind all those posts of solo devs promoting their game here, but I do wish they were flaired properly.

Kinda tired of going into a thread that has an engaging title for a general discussion only to realize it's about someone's game they are making

I recently exported a large amount of exchanged pictures with a contact, wanting to back them up. Their name has the date and time, but their metadata is all showing "created"/"modified" as the day of the export, not the date when the picture was taken.

Is there any way to align those so the pictures have the correct date, for the purpose of getting sorted correctly among other pictures?

I remote into my work PC over LAN, through the router, and I've been using Remmina so far. It works fine for everything except in some calls, I get a big audio delay that makes it basically unusable. I think it's only the audio because video in calls seems to arrive on time, or at least before the audio.

I tried reducing the quality but it didn't really help. The mouse cursor, clicking around on the windows machine etc. is responsive, it's just the audio. Back when I was on a windows-to-windows remote connection, everything worked great even on highest quality setting.

This is on fedora silverblue, latest updates installed. Can anyone give me an idea of what could be the issue? thanks

Hi all, I've recently switched to fedora silverblue and im trying to use the built in podman instead of docker for my existing aspire .net project.

However, I am getting the > Container runtime not installedContainer runtime could not be found. See https://aka.ms/aspire/containers for more details on supported container runtimes error

I did what the linked guide says and set ASPIRE_CONTAINER_RUNTIME to "podman" (echo $ASPIRE_CONTAINER_RUNTIME prints "podman" ) but it still doesn't work

Podman otherwise works fine, I've used it successfully to run some other docker (podman) compose files

edit: after googling / trying random shit/ asking ai i eventually came to the conclusion that it's something to do with the flatpak rider installation because building and running the project from the terminal works, it's only an issue with all both podman, npm and node when debugging from the IDE. leaving this for future info ig

Mandataory items like the repair wrench, dismantling tool and such have listed weight, does this contribute to total carry capacity? I do feel like my extra weight is already 30% full even with a mostly empty inventory (got almost 60kg / 200 even with just some cables in my inv).

If so, that kinda sucks since you can't choose to not bring them along?

I only played the OG AK for a few hours, I randomly decided to install it on my phone when bored the other day, but it was instantly so much more appealing and interesting than the system we have in Endfield:

The map layout matters more and is more of a puzzle than what we have in EF.

There is a larger variety in maps and which turrets you have to use instead of just using the highest dps one most often. The choice between operators (turrets) is more meaningful and their roles and synergy matter.

Maps also often have different environmental effects that you can use to your advantage at the right time.

Due to having to track operator HP and their special abilities, it is more interactive than just sitting back and watching turrets do their work.

You get to adjust the strategy during the mission instead of gambling it all on your initial setup being correct

The top down grid map is just more readable and easier to build on and control defenses than the 3rd person perspective of EF.

I could probably go on, I am also probably wrong in some of these not mattering that much in the OG lategame either (and missing some other ones that appear), but for a first impression - I am just flabbergasted that in EF they abandoned all those good decisions they made in the past and went with a brand new approach that is just inferior in every way IMHO.

TL;DR: I tried the original arknights mobile game and I really like the tower defense gameplay in it, much more than the base defense in endfield

I wanted to try self hosted Pangolin on my VPS and then connect some local resources and expose them through it, kinda like cloudflare tunnels but without the restrictions on various media. I followed the installation guide but when I start up the docker compose, i got the error:

Error response from daemon: failed to set up container networking: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint gerbil (~): Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated

My first thought it that I'm doing something wrong because I already have caddy installed on that VPS that i use for reverse proxy. I dont have a lot of familiarity with these services beyond the basics of they do however so I could use some help - can I (or even better, should I) use Pangolin alongside Caddy or should I only have one of them? Before i go and just start changing ports randomly

I'm also not sure if/why I need LetsEncrypt if i already am secured behind Caddy which creates secure certificates for https?

It's been going on for a while now, the logs just show

Manually logging to the website works fine. Bazarr is updated to latest version. I never had an opensubtitles.org account. Any ideas?

Do (strategy/simulation) games have a separate pure-code simulation layer underneath the game and then the unit behavior, position, animations are based on that, or is every unit a self contained object with a script and they decide what to do "themselves"?

How does this work with off screen simulation, like enemy units that are currently in the fog of war or maybe even on a different map layer? Are they still fully simulated and present in the scene (just off screen), or are they just stats and numbers until they get close enough to player's viewscreen?

It seems most guides start with the 2nd approach and put entity behaviors and animations on the entity itself, presumably because it is simpler and works on smaller scales, but I have a feeling that this is not really efficient or scaleable when it comes to larger simulation or strategy games. I am wondering if anyone here has experience of this or a resource to link that I could read / watch.

If it matters I'm mostly thinking in engines like unity or godot, not sure if it changes much elsewhere
