That’s the HD remaster that came out like 10 years ago. They most certainly did not make that on windows 98.

eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Programming@programming.dev•I feel like I should know this but seems like no5·5 months agoi second the comment that you need to consider why you want to do this. You generally need a pretty good reason to split your codebase into multiple languages.
As far as actually doing it, you have a ton of different options, some of which have been mentioned here. Some i can think of off the top of my head:
- create a library (dll or so file or the like)
- set up a web server and use communication protocols (either web socket or rest API or the like)
- use a 3rd party communication/messaging framework like MQ or kafka or something
- create your own method of communication. Something like reading and writing to a file on disk, or a database and acting on the information plopped in
basically every approach is going to require you to come up with some sort of API that the two work together through, though, an API in the generic sense is basically a shared contract two disconnected pieces of code use to communicate.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•FF7 Rebirth: Valve Messes Up with The Verified Rating Again2·5 months agosame. Ive played it for about ~10 hours on the steam deck so far, and i have my FPS counter turned on at all times; never seen it dip below 40, and i dont think ive touched any settings. On an original steam deck, not an OLED, though
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•I got an old game working through WINE that wouldn't work through Windows' compatibility mode6·6 months agowindows can still play castle of the winds? i play it all the time. In fact, i just booted it up again a moment ago to make sure it didnt break recently or something. I dont remember ever having any issues playing it, and ive played it off and on for decades. In fact, googling real quick, it looks like my abandonware even has a “easy installer” for it.
eerongal@ttrpg.networktoLemmy Support@lemmy.ml•I've never banned a user but have tens of banned users on my instance... What's going on?28·6 months agoIf a user is banned on their home instance, that ban is federated out to all instances. If a user is banned on a remote instance, they’re just banned locally on that instance, and their account remains active for all other instances.
They’re likely some remote users who have interacted enough with your instance to be federated over, and then banned on their home instance.
They were ripping off both their users and anyone using affiliate links (including the content creators who promoted them)
During checkout, when you clicked the “find coupon” button in honey (which it prompted you to do on screen during checkout), it would strip out any affiliate link and add their own. So if you clicked on a product from a review, they would strip out the referral link from the YouTube video or website that sent you and indicate they sent you instead and get the commission.
In addition, they were working with online retailers and basically extorting them. They said that if retailers paid them a fee, they got to pick the discount code that was used during checkout. So if there was a 20% coupon and a 5% coupon, stores could pay them to ignore the 20%.
This, in turn, was basically faking out their users, thinking they were giving them the “best deal” like they claimed to.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey?24·9 months agoYou’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.
Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.
Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.

eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Games@lemmy.world•Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its usersEnglish6·9 months agoyeah, its hard to predict what will happen to it, especially after gabe steps down or dies, but depending on how much of the company is broadly owned by employees vs individuals, it can help to shield it from bad decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact numbers. If gabe + mike own 51+% then it could potentially lead to overriding employee will in a bad decision for money (either through their actions or through inheritance like you say). Or the employees could just collectively make a bad decision too.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Games@lemmy.world•Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its usersEnglish68·9 months agoAFAIK, most of valve’s stock is held by employees, not private investors. It’s usually a pretty hard sell of “make the company you work at shittier to make more money”, especially since most of the employees probably know gabe personally (valve has less than 400 employees) and likely approve of his leadership.
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto Technology@lemmy.world•Why are people seemingly against AI chatbots aiding in writing code?English1917·10 months agoFWIW, at this point, that study would be horribly outdated. It was done in 2022, which means it probably took place in early 2022 or 2021. The models used for coding have come a long way since then, the study would essentially have to be redone on current models to see if that’s still the case.
The people’s perceptions have probably not changed, but if the code is actually insecure would need to be reassessed
That was changed a while back, the current restrictions are you can only have as many people playing any given game as you have copies in your current sharing library
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much0·11 months agoin 3e, the tarrasque had regeneration, and couldnt die from negative HP. So the idea of building a town that “farmed” an unconscious tarrasque for its meat/bones/whatever was a popular thought experiment for a setting back in the day. IIRC there was also someone who took the idea and published it as an actual book at some point too (which honestly felt kinda scummy to me, since it was basically a big community project/collaboration)
eerongal@ttrpg.networkto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much0·11 months agoi can also confirm that the tarrasque was pretty universally clowned on for being easy in 3.5e. That discussion is basically what drove the whole “town built around the tarrasque” idea on the wizard forums and enworld. That said, it’s probably not as bad as the 5e tarrasque by comparison

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They’re purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

eerongal@ttrpg.networkto News@lemmy.world•IRS makes free tax return program permanent and is asking all states to join in 20258·1 year agoIt still blows my mind how she could defend turning down federal funding for free lunches for school children. Like, the federal dollars were already allocated, turning it down does nothing but route that money elsewhere for the same purpose, why not help starving children in your state?!

Yeah, but its still using rebuilt HD assets which make it look way better than the original game its based off of.
