Massive update to Caves of Qud brings fully native gamepad and Steam Deck support

  • Me too. I was honestly shocked at how well it played all things considered. Definitely worth trying if you've played a lot on PC and would like to play on the deck. I was skeptical but played for 4 hours last night.

    Lenovo Legion Go - Can it Linux?

  • Great resource thanks for sharing. I have been chomping at the bit for some information about the Linux experience on this device.

    "I'm sick and tired of people saying that we put out 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we've put out 12 albums that sound exactly the same.“ — Angus Young

  • Heh. I didn't know this was a common criticism of AC/DC.

    It's definitely not unfounded but, the alternative is not always better. A good counter example is a band like Kings of Leon, who kind of split their fans along different album lines. Not saying there's anything wrong with that either, but I love AC/DC and am not upset that they have a pretty consistent identity across their albums.

    What's your favorite Linux distro?

  • Void Linux. Can't say enough good things about it. Feels like arch but more minimal in the base install and less of a hassle than gentoo.

    Sci-fantasy roguelike Caves Of Qud is getting a full release in 2024, after 15 years of development

  • Wow really looking forward to this. CoQ is certainly one of the best roguelikes released in recent memory.

    My 'sensible use' excuse for owning a Deck: running the music software I know since 10 years old :D

  • I live renoise but feel like no keyboard is a non starter for me. How's the experience using just the deck controller?

    How do you manage your dotfiles?

  • Git and symbolic links still.

    Ive heard good things about GNU Stow.

  • I'll agree the emacs on ramp is widely regarded as a barrier to entry on CL. I've heard good things about the Alive plug-in for vs code though. Also stuff like emacs4cl and portacle in theory make it easier, but I don't disagree.

    With that said, using an editor built on a lisp to work on lisp as its advantages if you can get over that initial hurdle.

    ...

  • Common Lisp!

    It can be a little esoteric if you don't have experience with the paradigms, but I've never used a language that felt more free.

    On SBCL you have typing support, CLOS provides an OO interface, and it lends itself well to functional style programming (despite not having a type system as powerful as say Haskell). Additionally, the ecosystem is quite stable and mature, any library of functionality you might need is likely available.

    Are almost all mobile games bad?

  • Highly recommend Dawncaster if you like Slay The Spire / deck builders. I think I paid $6 for it and I've probably played 40 hours or so. Just an honest to goodness straight up good game that happens to be on mobile.

    No gache/gems/freemium nonsense/etc.
