Project zomboid had to start again after flat got burgled and laptop gone. Offsite backups are key for theft and fire. Version control is the easiest and cheapest way.

Someone always knows someone that drinks, smokes and eats crap and lives until mid 90s. Doesn't mean it's good health advice.

Beware anecdotal evidence.

I have no idea. It's quite subjective.

You can install packages and remove them and it resolves dependencies, just using different commands...

It's a strategy, it requires planning and thinking. Comparing to FPS is crazy. Pick up gun and shoot.

HoMM3 is quite simple. Get towns and upgrade them. Make monsters. Kill. Most stuff you can learn and figure out as you play. It was the first game of that type I played. I'm not great at it, but that's more because it's hard to master, but you can still play a reasonable game.

It's worth persisting as its one of the best games made and people still play it decades later.

I think WINE recommend an up to date distro due to rapidly changing stuff needing up to date software and kernel. I think Debian wouldn't be great for that. I'd personally recommend OpenSuse. Rolling, up to date and great with KDE. Good luck.

[–] SurvivalMariner@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I would second up to date distros for the same reasons. I think the WINE guys suggested as much. I'd personally go OpenSuse as it's rolling, up to date, solid and great for KDE.

I'm content with the current textures, but I'm sure people will see this here if they like those MC textures.

The devs run it on lemmy.ml for a while and said it was ok to update. You cannot blame lemm.ee for trusting that. These things are complex and things get missed. You'd probably know that if you contributed to open source, rather than consume and complain when it isn't perfect. Keep leeching elsewhere.

Thanks for the update and information. You really set an example for communication and level headedness in decision making. Thanks for providing this space for us.

They wouldn't take it on ContentDB, as for it to go there, the creator would have to either have permission to use those assets and distribute them such as with an open source texture pack. MineClone2 assets were originally based of Pixel Perfection texture pack which is a TP made for Minecraft with an open source licence. It has since had original art added into it.

MineClone2 is a FOSS game built on a FOSS engine (Minetest) so legitimate. MineClone2 is made up of lots mods by lots of devs and has been developed for years.

and https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=29437

have some discussion on this. Do you have vsync enabled because it could cap framerate. It's probably likely a Minetest engine problem but there could be some debate on how to configure it better.

Commenter so angry it isn't targeting all men, they have to make the point in comments.

At least we're getting to a point where generalisation is decreasing.
