aaagh, too broke to read the news! Thanks for the archive link.

The truth is the US doesn't care about minorities. Not saying that China does either. Nobody does. All minority cultures will die out in a century or so 🥲 🫠 🙃

Appreciate the help.

I doubt it's the second thing because for an obscure game like this that at some point became free, most uploads on the internet are probably the same. But I will try a different one if the first option doesn't work out.

Speaking of it, could you provide a more specific instruction or a proper package name for me to install? Because I tried searching for "multilib" and "32-bit libraries" and I doubt any of the ones I found were what I need, but I can't tell it all looks pretty confusing.

 

This is my childhood game and I can't make it work on Linux. The menu starts fine and the character selection screen as well, but once I select a character, it crashes. I tried running it with different renderers and different Wine/Proton versions, and it's always the same result.

I enabled output debugging in Lutris. Here's the result: Link

And this is my system info: Link

Please help!

So? It also includes Simplified Hanzi which only has relation to the People's Republic of China and Singapore.

Oracle Bone, Bronze, Seal, Traditional and Simplified Hanzi are all Chinese. Only Kanji is Japanese and only by proxy, so this meme is like 70% Chinese and 30% Japanese. You would know that if you learned Japanese.

Thanks, this is very exhaustive, just what I needed!

There was this popular web comic about video games and geeky shit, and it was mostly funny. Then one day they made this one comic strip about miscarriage called "Loss". It became a meme because most people found it super pretentious for a funny little webcomic to suddenly do this kinda heavy drama with no dialogue like it's some arthouse film.

as someone learning Chinese, this is top-tier meme

 

The first time I came across the usage of this phrase was in the movie Hellraiser, and I had no idea this was a common saying. Clearly though, there must be a double meaning there in the movie that I couldn't fully grasp without knowing the more colloquial meaning.

The description on Wikipedia is unfortunately not enough for me, I would like to see examples. And it's very hard to find those because Google gives me mostly links to religious websites.

I'd rather we stop sexualizing characters altogether. If anything, it's silly and makes it more difficult to take them seriously.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The weird thing is, as a guy, I never even paid attention to the sexualized stuff in games. To me these are like two different brain activities. So, as far as I'm concerned, there was never any point in this kind of marketing. I've never in my life purchased a game because it featured sexy ladies.

 

I've been having trouble finding new favorite musical artists. Having been disappointed in many of my childhood favorites, there's only a few artists I genuinely binge. I think I have this problem where I need to relate to what the artist says in most of their songs. It's a sort of parasocial relationship, because the more songs of theirs I relate to, the more likely I am to enjoy their new songs.

So I was thinking, it would be cool if there was a website that asks you questions about yourself, and then based the information we have on music artists online, it finds the closest match. For example, it asks personal questions like "did you grow up poor?" or "what is your political ideology?", etc. And say you answer "yes" and "communist", and then it finds you an artist who also grew up poor and is a communist. I feel like this would allow for finding more relatable music.

I have a feeling such a website doesn't exist, but I just wanted to put my idea out. However, if you know anything even similar to this, let me know.

 

The native population had been wiped out by the malware of their own creation. Only the Linux users survived, but turned blind because they stare at their monitors and don't go out much.

 

One time I read a quote by a philosopher. I'm not sure if he was strictly Daoist, but at the very least Daoism-adjacent. IIRC correctly he wasn't one of those academic types, and more an ascetic sage type.

Anyway, I don't remember the exact quote, but the crux of it was that the Dao has no intention. It said something like "if the Dao had intention, it would only be like a shepherd". This shepherd analogy is the only specificity of this quote that I can remember. If you know who it was, please let me know.

 

I'm on Linux Mint 21.2, though I've tried installing this game on another Debian-based distro with the same results.

So, the game launches and everything seems to be perfectly in order, except there's no sound.

Files in the game folder are .wav and seem to work perfectly when I launch them with Audacious.

There is no information online, it seems like I'm the first person trying to launch this game on Linux.

Here's the log:

I tried posting this on Reddit and got no help. I was hoping here people might be more responsive.

Hey everyone.

So, the problem is that in order to launch Pro Rally 2001, you first need to launch the RallySetup.exe, so that the game would create a config file called ed3.ini. But I use Linux and am trying to run this game with Wine. And Wine seemingly can run the main executable, but not RallySetup.exe.

So, what I need is for someone who uses Windows to just install that game and then sned me that file ed3.ini. I don't think I can tell you where to download the game, but it's basically abandonware, so many websites have it.

So anyway, if you helped me, I'd be very grateful.

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Unfortunately, the game still doesn't work at the moment. I suppose I'll have to just run a virtual machine for it. But I wouldn't know if I didn't try.
