It is a good game, from the four ratings I would align myself with the 77% from Steam.

My biggest critic so far, 12h in, would be that the language they use and the way they speak is way to modern for a fantasy game for my liking. It often makes it a bit hard to immerse into the game for me when they use 21th century words or concepts or mannerisms.

Maybe because that person uses systemd everywhere else and just doesn’t want the overhead of maintaining two different init systems.

Systemd has config options for automatic restart of crashed services. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd.service.html#Restart=

It may be possible to compile Fallout 2 CE https://github.com/alexbatalov/fallout2-ce for XBOX and install it in developer mode, that would be the best chance. Don’t ask me how, but most likely it will not be an easy project.

It is “systemctl poweroff” nowadays you fool 😜

My home server does all my network related stuff (including DNS and DHCP) turning it off would be a very bad idea due to this.

I don’t have a UPS, but it is relatively high on my list.

The “modern” way would use systemd to implement the mounting, either on a system or a user level. Using fstab can be problematic when the drive is missing or otherwise not available during boot.

Not sure what KDE uses exactly for auto mounting.

My oldest running system is a Commodore 64C with a 1541-2 floppy drive but that is for years only a nice accessories on my wall, because my MiSTer Multisystem completely replaced that (and my Amiga 500 and my SNES and all other retro consoles I own) in every way.

Sounds complicated and like a lot of potential legal trouble, have it done by their own staff seems easier.

There are not much good commercial emulator projects, and open source emulators are not easy to license due to the nature of the open source licences (often GPL 2 or 3) used.

Sorry then, English is not my native tongue so most likely it got lost in internal translation.

I would not say everyone but everyone in power is incompetent and dumb.

The normal employee who just hast to do as told can only do as told and if that means that all the good features and functionalities are out of scope then that it is. It has nothing to do with the competence or intelligence of the employee

FOSS developers have no cost reporting, no meetings with C level and stakeholders, no shareholders, no release plans, no schedules. What they have is passion.

They just created what they want to create, they have a deep personal agenda to make something they want to use for themselves and that has to have therefore the polish and quality they want to have it to have.

The corporate developers wanted to make a good product too I am very sure, but if the higher ups say that it has to be released by a fixed date then there is not much that the developers can do about it.

So yes, the company has no real excuses, besides money.

Creating a good emulator takes a lot of time and money, and that I think is the true reason why.

What they have released is a MVP, a minimum viable product, it checks all the boxes for a releaseable thing and that’s what the higher ups, the product leads and other finance stakeholders want to hear.

Additional features or proper scaling? Yeah, nice we put that on the list for MVP+, for sure! When will that come? Nobody knows and we have no development time to work on it because now with the release the focus was shifted to the next project, but it is on the list and we will come back to it.

I have heard that so often in so many projects I was part of, as a grunt with no power, and for nearly all of them I still wait for the MVP+ time to ever happen.

I quite often recommend the atomic flavors of Fedora to people and have it set up for a few people (my mother for example). I think atomic distributions are perfect for tech unsavory people, because they can’t really damage anything and it mimics/reproduces lots of the things they are already used from their phones.
