Classic openGL software rendering… kids these days dont know what they’re missing

Oh damn, that’s a good one! i never got to watch a battle in total war with max number of troops

Thanks. It wasnt a proton issue. The game runs OK randomly if the rockstar launcher signs in properly. Otherwise it just stalls and the rockstar launcher throws an error saying the game is already running

Thanks for the reminder. That was on my wishlist for a while. Totally forgot

RDR2 was one of the first things i tried to replay, but i was having weird problems with rockstar launcher (maybe only a problem on linux)

i’m playing gtaV enhanced maxed out. Looks great

Shadow of TR, great suggestion. I’ll grab it on sale

Metro and stalker are great suggestions, but i’m really not into horror (i like to sleep at night)

It’s always saudi in philadelphia

i’ve been using android since 2007… and the home screen paradigm for me has always been a customizable dock at the bottom with an app drawer button in the middle, and multiple home screens with whatever widgets you want…

i’ve tried almost all the suggestions for a nova replacement and almost all of them break my workflow i’ve used for almost 20 years. it’s very frustrating. it seems like the latest launchers fall into two camps…
“minimalist”, no widgets, have to search everything with keyboard
“modern”, takes a lot of cues from iOS on the home screen

that’s the problem with finding a “nova replacement”… almost everyone’s “nova” is completely different from each other… does anyone have a suggestion for a launcher that carries on the old school android layout, but also FOSS? (GO launcher still maintains the old-school paradigm, but not FOSS)

GPU hasnt been profitable to mine for many years now.

People just keep parroting anti-crypto talking points for years without actually knowing what’a going on

To be clear, 99% of the crypto space is a scam. But to blame them for GPU shortages and high prices is just misinformation

The good people don’t become billionaires in the first place

You have extra money to name a hospital wing after yourself? Should have been taxed appropriately in the first place so that the hospital didnt need to sell naming rights just to fill a funding gap…

You have extra money to donate to your family charity? Should have been paid as appropriate wages to your workers instead of accumulating in your personal net worth…

All billionaire philanthropy is a failure of policy that allowed them to unjustly accumulate those billions through exploting others, thereby creating most of the problems that they “solve” through their philanthropy later in life

I have it on physical CD!!

I assume some devs don’t disclose

I have tiny trump hands, so ergonomically not the best controller for me

But i still love my steam controller.

Yeah, just like OP, i just wanted to go to school, explore the castle, and skip class once on a while

Instead, a lot of the game is just running around murdering goblins. And my character is a total psycho… Just gleefully wiping people out with UNFORGIVABLE CURSES, WTF… using a curse is enough to land you in azkaban. Yet my character is just openly firing these curses off with impunity and the game seemingly doesnt give you any feedback that this is wrong, nor any deterrents. (Maybe there are some consequences later?? I put the game down for a while because the constant combat was too much for me)

Also, kidnapping animals, and putting them in your zoo so that you can harvest magical materials from them. How is that any better than the poachers???

Kids are going to have a warped sense of morality after playing this game

Should have done the voices in italian with subtitles

Does this apply to the in-kernel linux driver?

Got back into crusader kings 3. Reformed the old basque religion. Trying not to piss off the catholics and muslims that now surround me.

What about speedtree???

I went looking for a developer mistake and epic Linus rant, but…

Tl;dr: it was Linus’ own mistake. He simply forgot to “cut the release”.

When you say “unrecoverable” do you mean the graphical desktop didnt load? Or you couldnt even log in to the terminal?

A lot of newbies assume that not getting to a graphical session means the OS is dead and nuke it and start over. When in a lot of cases, you can just switch to the command line and troubleshoot or roll back the broken drivers

Just for future reference if you try linux again

Wait… Are they the good guys now?

Day 1 kcd2 has been pretty good.

Only 1 bug so far forced me to save/exit. But no crash to desktop or anything game breaking so far (knock on wood)

The sudden, abrupt ending…

Pretty sure curl is the actual winner here

I used to think vram wasnt a big deal, but my 10G 3080 is already useless for some newer games, namely indiana jones

Not literally unplayable, but severely hamstrung, which is not OK for a high end card thats only 2 gen old (soon to be 3 gen, i guess)

Not one mention of fairphone? Not fully modular but it definitely ticks all the boxes for repairability and sustainability

Wait, so everything since 22nm has been just marketing hype?

There’s a whole documentary about reclaiming pepe called “feels good man”

The more we discourage people from using pepe because WP and shitheads, the more they win.

Wow thanks. That sounds amazing!

Will definitely give it a try asap

Steam has been so easy since proton, i honestly never learned to use lutris. I think i played with it once and gave up, but this was 6 years ago at this point. Maybe its easier to use now

If we could somehow merge steam’s linux support, with GOG’s dedication to DRM-free preservation of games

I really tried to support GOG for a long time, but steam was much easier when i went 100% linux

riscv is the future.

I’ve bought and paid for every civ game since civ3…

I even paid for civ4 twice. Boxed CD and on steam… And now you’re going to treat me like a criminal with shitty DRM??? Welp, i guess i’m not buying Civ7, Sid…

No more turns…

Well thats kind of the point of my statement about “it’s 2024”

I understand game AI is a complex problem. But it seems like we havent made any progress since civ3… And we’re right in the middle of an AI hype cycle… Can we not use AI for something useful like games? Instead of just making deepfakes, disinformation, and firing workers?

It’s 2024… Please fix the AI…

Biggest weakness in every civ game is the shitty AI that requires massive cheating, and terrible diplomacy (constantly making ridiculous demands, then getting mad and denouncing you if you dont hand over the goods)

So… Nvidia’s been basically 100% focused on AI and intel and AMD havent been able to take market share??

Cheaper, faster, better… Pick 2

I"ve been playing this in early access for a while now…

Based on the current state of the game, october seems a bit rushed

They have a lot of bugs to fix, and a lot of optimization to do to get the fps up to where it needs to be.

Been playing since civ2…

I sank so much of my life into civ4 and civ5…

I couldnt get into civ6… Probably under 20hr of play time

I hope civ7 has something special that will get me back to that “one more turn” feeling…

Could it be my poor forecasting and management causing problems?

No, it’s the workers who are lazy…

Exactly. Cant apply for a mortgage if you have an unstable income. Cant plan for having a family without stable income

All the things we take for granted, we just expect journalists not to have because we are all entitled to their work for free
