Shh, don't let them hear!

Yes.  My disk based copy of Diablo 2 + LOD + 1.13b patch + manually copied D2xmusic.mpq  totally works in exagear.

Instructions are convoluted--

1) Copy the contents of each of the 4 cdroms into folders in your downloads folder, the copy in the 1.13b updater.
2) start exagear and run explorer on the container
3) run winecfg, and add drive paths to each of those folders, and set type to cdrom
4) Install the full game, enter cd key
5) install the expansion, enter cd key
6) install the update
7) copy d2xmusic.mpq from the expansion disk folder into the diablo 2 folder created in the c drive.
cleanup-- remove drive letters, delete stuff in the downloads folder.

I got it to work. Diablo 2 really pushes my phone to its limits, to the point that audio playing in other apps starts to stutter.

Does Exagear use the GPU at all? It just seems that GPU operations in Exagear are handled by the CPU.

Wanted to play D&D tonight at a game store, it's my last night in town and my last chance to hang out with my best friend before I go away for another long treatment.

Turns out, tonight is the night for uber veterans with multi-year campaigns. Weekends are noob nights.

I think so, but not sure.  You can set the renderer to either direct3d or ddraw with the video setup program (for Diablo II at least.)  Not sure if the wine install for exagear does opengl acceleration or not.


I think you might be interested to know that my test with heretic II did bear fruit; I need to figure out how to get a no-cd patch working, since the game demands the CD in the drive to start the campaign, but the game itself totally loads to the menu. It might interest you since Heretic II is based on the WinQuake engine.

I might do an experiment with the windows version of mesaGL in the thing. See if that gets me an OpenGL implementation.

EDIT

Just tested winquake.  Totally works with the software renderer.  There is something wrong with exagear's opengl implementation or something, every GL app I have tried fails to get a gl renderer started. That includes glquake in the package-- but even with software rendering, it plays quite nice at 800x600 on my S5.   Needs a mouse for sure, unless you intend to use a bluetooth gamepad.

Richard Morgan, the writer of the transhumanist story Altered Carbon is also apparently a transphobe?

I'm curious about the court case and its details to see just what's actually being discussed here. Because sex in a biological sense definitely is a thing, and it shouldn't be considered transphobic to acknowledge such... You can be born a woman and still be male-sexed, that's just the kooky way that things work.

I feel like, as with any sex/gender kerfuffle, there are probably a lot of people talking directly past one another.

til I learned the acronym terf.

Today I am a little more saddened about humanity and people's insistence that because they are right, everyone else must be wrong.

Reading some of the comments, it sounds like the conversation started with a discussion of a law allowing companies to take benefits away or fire people if they're trans. I can kind of guess where the disagreement was there.

Yeah. The people who are offended by it are probably upset by the "feminist" part of the acronym.

Damnation poppycock flip damn damn damn

Urrrgh.

Why am I me, eh?

[Egan_BW]

"I don't want to be this kind of animal any more"?

[TD1]

My previous post was made without perusing those which came before. It fits a bit too well, hah.

I've done a social stupid.
Repeatedly.
Over a period of weeks.

[scriver]

I would like to know more.

[TD1]

Hello, scriver. My name is More. I hear you wish to make my acquaintence?

There's not much more to say. A series of mistakes and stupidities on my part which resulted in me torpedo-ing an all-but-certain relationship until the gal in question took up a different fella.

The thing is that we got on really, really well - but she's into getting drunk and I'm not. This led to me dithering and self doubting until "certain to respond yes if asked" has, within the past day or so, become "unlikely".

The worst bit is that I'm still not sure if this is good. There were some deep differences in character as well as deep similarities.

[hector13]

There is a point when you have to stop considering and analyzing and just get on with it, man.

Differences don’t necessarily lead to conflict, assuming both parties are good at communicating.

You can try to salvage things, assuming you haven’t messed things up that bad, or you can move on and find someone better (or worse!) and do whatever historians do with people in the present.

[TD1]

I had come to that conclusion.

I over-analysed the hell out of everything. Most people would simply do and work it out. It's why loads of people have bad relationships. It's also why people have relationships.

Edit: on the plus side, I've learned a lot from it. I also no longer think I'm unattractive. There've been four girls at work already who've definitely been after me. Who knew, eh?
