According to the docs, there should be a lemmy-ui folder that was created by the Ansible install. Within that folder, the app is set up to search for an extra_themes folder by default.

For native installation (without Docker), themes are loaded by lemmy-ui from ./extra_themes folder. A different path can be specified with LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER environment variable.

Digging into the docker-compose.yml file used by the Ansible playbook, it looks like this is where extra themes directory is mapped into the lemmy-ui service.

I think my favorite use of Star Citizen has been from folks like PolarityDnb who use it to create backdrops for ambient electronica compositions.

I’m using Gitea and it’s been wonderful.

• I run it as a Windows service - I know I know, I should containerize it 😄
• Using SQLite as the DB; I’ve always been a fan of filesystem DBs
• Not exposed outside my LAN since I just Parsec home when abroad

Like a fission reaction between cope, capitalism and hypetrain grease. Compels me though 🤔

Absolutely no way Star Citizen isn’t a massive scam. I mean, people can be incompetent, but

over $580 million

…seems like it has to be some kind of upper limit of incompetence?

Does this basically come down to “Twitter doesn’t want to spend the compute to fingerprint media uploads?”

I know that’s been a massive cost sink for YouTube with their Content ID technology, and I don’t imagine Elbow is in a hurry to burn even more money at the moment.

Can’t wait to try this during tax season next year

I know this isn’t right but now I wanna play Hunt Showdown

For me, I enjoyed D4 as a nice campaign. Played through a few times, once with my partner and another solo.

D4 pros: Impeccable game feel, moment to moment combat, graphics and even some nice storytelling. Enjoy the QoL features for alts and the myriad of endgame loops; Helltides are a lot of fun.

D4 cons: Dungeons are boring to me. Builds that feel fun and powerful are limited to 0-2 per class; a big letdown. Weird network / instance lag which stands out among the otherwise polished aesthetic. Middling open world re: exploration to reward ratio.

PoE pros: Deeeeeep. Hardcore. Aspirational? Still haven’t cleared the campaign despite getting closer each league. Lots of builds and skill variety.

PoE cons: Feels like the oldest baguette ever to exist. Wildly stiff gameplay. Ugh its such shit compared to D4. Like DMC vs Skyrim level of difference. Disparate, cheap feeling UI and tacked on storytelling. Exudes HardXCore__Statzz.xls energy and feels practically impossible to navigate a viable build without a guide.

In the end I think Grim Dawn outplays both D4 and PoE. Check it out if you love ARPGs

I’m curious about this kind of thing from an engine and console architecture perspective. Any gamedevs able to shed some light?

I work in the industry, but not directly on low-level engine implementation details. Personally, my gut thinking is that the Creation Engine is falling behind in terms of modern asset streaming techniques.

Similarly, I wonder if a lack of strong virtualized geometry / just-in-time LOD generation tech could be a huge bottleneck?

From what I understand, efforts like Nanite in UE5 were an enormous engineering investment for Epic, and unless Bethesda has a massive engine team of their own (they don’t), they simply won’t be able to benefit from an in-house equivalent in tech.

Ultimately, I do think the lack of innovation in the Creation Engine is due to internal technical targets being established as “30FPS is good enough”, with frame times below 33ms being viewed as “for those PC gamers with power to spare.”

In an imaginary world where I’ve poured over Bethesda’s engine source for days, I wonder if I might discover that:

• Asset formats and/or orchestration code used for asset streaming in the Creation Engine are not optimized to a degree where scene graphs can be effectively culled based on camera frustum or player proximity without noticeable dips in frame-time. It simply takes too long to pause actor simulations or too long to stream assets back into memory and reintroduce objects to the scene graph

• Virtualized geometry or other magical low-overhead auto-LOD solutions aren’t in place. As far as I understand it, efforts like Nanite in UE5 were an enormous engineering investment for Epic, and unless Bethesda has a massive engine team of their own (they don’t), they simply won’t be able to benefit from an in-house equivalent in tech

A few LAN Minecraft instances for my wife and I, a personal Git server, Plex, SMB file share, and a few Docker containers on a MINISFORUM UM690 Mini PC. Been very happy with that little machine!
