To be honest, I did not really think we will get to this point when a privacy-teacher YouTube channel would upload content about Roblox lmao
roblox has a lot of pedophiles, that’s kind of similar I think
The video about the Roblox lawsuit
Roblox will not work. The developers are actively preventing it from working in Linux. Those other games should. If you don’t mind to tinker a bit to make sure they’re set up properly, then your son should be able to just launch them from Bottles or Lutris or whatever you set up as a games launcher. I don’t know about Sims. I have a pirated copy of Sims 3 working just fine though.
It’s a small comfort that even Twitter is giving this take the reception it deserves. It’s kind of wholesome. People coming together to tell the guy who built a child-exploiting, underaged-gambling “game” for kids to get fucked brings a tear to my eye. Founding Roblox isn’t exactly building the interstate highway system, creating antibiotics, or inventing the telephone, John. And look where it’s gotten us. Drunk on arrogance and the suffering of millions You made Roblox in order to monetize children’s naivety. We’re not giving you the nuclear codes for shit Because you’re a bunch of sociopaths with a Messiah complex You build a giant ad platform and called it innovation. You’re modern day carnival barkers. Go fuck yourself
My 11 year old brother had been using PopOS for a while. Unfortunately Roblox recently intentionally broke Wine support and I had to put Windows on his computer.
Not them, but I think I’ve got a bead on it, assuming you treat it as a general concept and not a trademark: It’s basically the Platonic ideal of a game lobby. Kinda like what Miiverse was supposed to be, or Ready Player One. They were both after my time but I think maybe kinda like Club Penguin or Roblox? Like an overworld with a custom avatar that you can socialize in and sync into other apps or games together. It does seem basically inevitable, fast forward gaming 10 years and I’d be surprised if something like that wasn’t the norm.
Roblox removed wine support for linux so its either emulating the android version or running a vm with gpu passthru
Roblox is a pure abyss devoid of humanity and I wish them just the worst. Also I belive 100% that everything you wrote is the truth, but I also believe in adding some sources when the matter is of such a significance
“Roblox has rebranded itself as an “experience” creation tool to keep the game out of the legal battle between Apple and Epic.” "Roblox’s player-created games used to be found under the games tab, now they’re under the ‘discover’ tab and are called experiences. Every copy of the word ‘game’ has been deleted off the Roblox website and app, with the notable exception of the discover page’s url: roblox.com/games. " Roblox recently changed the “Games” title to “Experiences”. Does it bother you? How do you feel right now about it?
This is the best summary I could come up with: A few days ago on their developer forum, one of their staff members replied (you have to be signed in to read) noting “shoutout to the Grapejuice community - this one is for you”. The staff member also included a screenshot of Roblox running on Manjaro Linux: That same staff member did also note that "There will be an official announcement regarding unofficial support for Wine. If you really want to try it out, again I wouldn’t suggest so (really just wait until it hits stable Roblox), but it is possible if you use Vinegar linked above. You will need to switch it over to the zcanary update branch and use Vulkan, which you can do via this in terminal: After that you’ll be able to just login on the website, and run games or use the Vinegar Roblox App it gives you. The original article contains 306 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 54%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I feel this is likely assisted by the fact that they have been extremely hostile to the Linux user-base. While the people that used linux as a whole were a minority, a good portion of them were devs. There is a reason that roblox studio kept wine support where the main client blocked it, they didn’t want to isolate their map devs from the platform. However as it turns out, it’s hard to create maps on an OS that you can’t actually test your creations on, which is why the innovation as a whole for their maps have stagnated in the last few years. Less people willing to make maps for a platform that is super in your face with cash grab moments, while also being inconvenienced by artificial restrictions placed by a Dev team who still has the mentality that Linux = Hax0rs
Same. I know it matters to a lot of younger players though, my son’s game requirements to consider getting a steam deck are beamNG and Roblox support.
