Well that flew right over your head

That was a joke making fun of both people who get upset about those kinds of things and people who identify as odd shit to appear to be attention whores and/or are into the shaming people "woke" culture.

Ahh. I'm an aspie, so I'm particularly bad at recognizing jokes when there are no non-verbal cues. (Friends in one of the channels I hang out on had a running joke that I'm a robot.)

rip. Guess that's what I get for taking things too seriously sometimes

I'm pretty sure the terms dude, guys, and bro (and in some cases man) are more-or-less considered to be gender/pronoun-agnostic these days.

I don't know about dude or bro, but I grew up understanding "guys" to follow the same rules as French plurals and that was back in the '90s. (ie. you use the masculine plural for all-male or mixed-gender groupings, and the feminine plural for all-female groupings.)

I guess I'm old fashioned, what other kinds of developers are out there lately?

I'm highlighting that part of the port is done by a tool, the tool is not human. Standard sort of language

[Wychmire]

Woah there buddy, don't assume we're all guys here. I'm a non-gender ghost that identifies as a taco.

Haha, sorry, just insert a gender of your choosing there.

Splitting hairs is part of my profession! Especially if it comes down to the choice of words.



Guys, don't get me wrong here, even a non-native Linux game is better than no Linux game at all. I don't question this. It is just a matter of the correct phrasing to me here where I would reserve the term "native" for anything without using performance-decreasing tricks.

They use a tool to convert large parts of the source and then compile it as native, likely after optimisation by a human developer. You're splitting hairs pretty hard there buddy

Meh. I sort of agree with the last part of the first reply in that thread:

This is how I feel about it. I don't really care what the game does, so long as it works.

I must say, I kinda predicted this when I saw a lot of work on wine conformance a few weeks back with his DXVK stuff. Seemed like he was making an effort for wine and dxvk to live closer together, I assumed he would be a good person to do work on VKD3D after the previously developer Józef Kucia had sadly died in an accident.
