That’s literally the game the sim community has been begging for for ages now. What a shame.

Nobara’s not going anywhere regardless of how this goes down. At least on Nobara you won’t have to worry about your distro going tits up any time soon.

Nobara is likely the best candidate for you. https://nobaraproject.org/

Bitburner is pretty cool too.

Yeah man, all of this except for the balls part. Shit’s a bit too much for me bro and I was there in the 90’s. You do you though, I guess. 🤷

The day is coming, my friend. I’m in the same boat. I have to admit that its because I’ve been too lazy to sort things out on Linux for my Fanatec gear.

All my time is dedicated to home studio recording lately so I haven’t played games in weeks anyway.

Gamers, Windows is an AI-polluted cesspool and NVIDIA is actively abandoning you for AI.

Switch to Linux, sell your NVIDIA card and buy an AMD card instead and enjoy home computing and gaming again.

I think when people refer to"arcade" it conjures up visions of the 80s and 90s of being present in an arcade and pumping quarters into machines.

I think if you’re gonna talk about modern arcade style games you should probably make that clear.

Arcade games are meant to turnover “plays” as quickly as possible to make the most profit in a given time. This logic doesn’t really apply well here.

Good deals that deliver fun.

If that’s what you’re buying in a single month, I’d hate to know how much you’re buying in a year.

The sad truth is that you’re spending this money but you’re never going to have the time to enjoy more than the upper crust of what all these games have to offer. You might dive deep on a handful of them, but you’re just lighting the rest of that money on fire and likely condemning a lot of good games to the digital equivalent of rotting on a shelf.

Unless this is some roundabout way of supporting dev teams this screams unfettered consumerism to me.

I’m not trying to offend you I promise. This is just very odd to me. I don’t even think I’ve played 200 games in my life and I’ve spent a fuckload of time immersed in games of all kinds for ~30 years.

I think you’re misunderstanding the concept of priority.

Sounds to me like you’re not considering that they likely have a massive list of priorities to address and a flashlight attachment is simply not even close to the top of the list.

Nothing exists in a vacuum.

Downvoting posts in different languages makes no sense. Just move along. No need to suppress languages here.

Why is this being downvoted? Its a well reasoned and written review.

Or you just let players get their face smashed in by a high level enemy when they trespass somewhere they shouldn’t so they learn that they’re not ready to face that challenge yet. You also craft a world that gently guides them in a viable direction to level up to meet that challenge, ideally with multiple options to pursue.

Man, that’s so sad. HLD is my favourite game of all time so I’m heartbroken to hear Heart Machine is struggling with Breaker.

Where did you hear about the issues? I’m curious to know.

I run GrapheneOS on my phone and reject all biometrics on principle not because I have anything to hide.

Try Cogmind, Caves of Qud or Dwarf Fortress maybe?

Nice. I’m on Nobara for about a year and a half now. Love it. The community is amazingly helpful.

If that’s the case then that’s fine. It gives gamers agency over how they experience the games they pay for.

Yeah, but requiring payment for a mod is the modder’s decision for AC. For AC EVO, I’m concerned Kunos is going to make that their decision.

That price is insane when the Miyoo Mini+ is under $100 CAD.

Art Of Rally!

If you ever want to try a privacy respecting alternative, look up FUTO Keyboard and their voice-to-text service.

This is an opportunity where if you’d used your brain you’d have come to a different conclusion.

Imagine trying to moderate that shit?

Honestly, AI companies should be focusing on making AI into a good moderation tool so that human eyes don’t need to be the filter for the heinous shit people post on the internet.

Thanks for the context. I did read the article after I posted my comment. My order of operations is backwards and needs to be fixed lol

Ok, I was very confused for a moment there.

Are you actually arguing in favor of not testing gameplay changes and instead relying on vibes to make the decision for you?

Does this game support thousands of players on a single server? EVE deals with that via “time dilation” which slows processes to a crawl so the servers can handle the load.

Why would the devs want to shut it down? I don’t get it.

Why did you feel the need to be a dick about it? Just block and move along.

DLSS can’t possibly look better than no upscaling. I don’t care how good the fucking AI slop machine is at generating fake frames. Upscaling in my head is synonymous with AI slop.

I played GTA IV mostly because the mechanics were fucking awesome. The driving was incredible for an open world game like that. Euphoria was dope.

The first seconds of the GTA V gameplay trailers hinted that they neutered the driving. Then they announced the driving was ported from a Midnight Club game and that was the last nail in the coffin for me.

Tried the game once at a friend’s house and the gameplay feel was so shit I never played it again. I knew I’d always be distracted by it.

GTA IV had a superficial story? I certainly did not feel that way about that game. Niko is the best protagonist they’ve ever had; a great protagonist in general.

Long gone? I still have my original discs!

Linux is the future of gaming as well as the future of gaming’s past.

Whew. Some of you seem to be taking this like a personal attack and it’s kinda funny, tbh.

If you don’t like my use case or my suggestion, you can disregard it and move along.

I don’t live in a world where I need to min/max performance. All I want is for the games I play to look good enough to not distract me from the content. I don’t think I’ve ever used raytracing in my life. I don’t even overclock my shit or use any boost options on my hardware. All I care about is maxing put the lifespan of the hardware I buy and having fun with the games I play. Nothing else matters.

Buying games on deep cut sales years after the fact and enjoying excellent performance on a reasonably modern card is what I aim for. If that’s not for you, that’s fine. I don’t give two shits about modern games because half of the AAA releases are slop these days and you need to spend stupid amounts of money to have the hardware to make them look even remotely good on release. There are few exceptions to this.

So I won’t be made to feel bad about recommending that folks ditch Nvidia for AMD and live a couple years behind the curve. It works for me, it works for my friends, and it will work for some of you that read this.

I use AMD now because I migrated from Win to Linux last year.

I didn’t play The Witcher 3 until 2022. I had a Radeon HD 4890 until 2022 when I bought my first and last Nvidia card, a 2060. The 2060 could run it well enough that I never had to care about the gfx settings.

Because I switched to Linux and enjoyed it so much, I purchased a more modern card this time around to future-proof my PC. I got a 7800XT. I’m hoping I can get at least 6-7 years out of it before upgrading.
