I use the Decky plugin, and paid for GOG support, but they have their work cut out for them in convincing me to pay for this. Running Heroic isn’t that much of a hassle.


I tried it a month or two ago, and it just didn’t work very well. If other Linux users are looking for a mod manager, I’ve been happy with Limo.


I realize that, but I find it a worthless stat because the numbers are more easily massaged, which is of course partly the point. A different measurement, which paints a less flattering picture, is concurrent players on Steam. I realize that the game will pull players from other places, but comparing it to other games in the same situation doesn’t render favorable results; something which Ubisoft would prefer you didn’t know, as is evident by their asking Valve to obfuscate these statistics in the past.


I’m part of the “I don’t think this game is doing nearly as well as Ubisoft needs it to” “brigade,” but thank you very much for slinging baseless accusations.



Journalists in general have lost an unbelievable amount of credibility, and games bloggers are the bottom of the barrel.


I got excited for a second until I realized it’s a remaster. Yeah, I don’t really care at that point.


I’m not personally running Bazzite, but before I switched to an AMD card, Nvidia worked just fine for me. Bazzite being more streamlined and gaming-specific, I can only imagine it would do perfectly well running Nvidia.


Can’t say that I’ve ever had this issue. Usually mod authors will tell you where to install them, or package the files in a folder structure such that there is no thinking involved.


Unless it’s picked up by someone who exposes it to a large audience of people who care about the issue, but would otherwise be unaware of it, I don’t see it making it. It got off to strong start, but momentum has predictably fallen off.


Until they reach a threshold of consecutive disappointing results, and EA lays off the entire studio.


They shouldn’t hold any credibility in the first place, I’m just some faceless username. I already saw the video, that’s what my opinion is based on. I say his hand’s angle and movement are quite different from a heil, but if you want to disagree, that’s fine as well.


It’s not hard at all, you choose what you allow to take root in your mind. Additionally, I disagree that that’s what he did; his motion was not an actual heil, and I feel that labeling it as such without better evidence continues the unfortunate trend of dilution powerful words. I don’t think a conversation on this topic will yield anything meaningful, so I’m not going to elaborate further, but I wanted to present an opposing opinion.


Do your mental health a favor and stop devoting attention to this.


I seriously doubt that ASUS put any focus on making it user serviceable either. I really want a Deck, but I’m waiting for refurbished units to be back in stock because the price difference is just too big to justify a brand new unit.



It’s not weird that he’s in the industry, but the way they presented him during the award show could be seen as disingenuous, so of course it’s going to be. Of course he probably is a nice guy, just trying to help people; it’s the more likely scenario. As far as TGA addressing the issue, they very deliberately avoided the topic last year and faced backlash for it, but this time around I haven’t seen any criticism of them being hypocritical with regards to this.


It struck me as odd that they didn’t mention his position, and placed focus on him being a small YouTuber, and being presented before millions of viewers, of course there are going to be people who latch on to something like that. If the messages he provided screenshots of are representative of the worst he’s received, I think he would have been better off not bringing attention to bad behavior, and just letting people forget.


Ciri being a witcher is already going outside of existing lore, and it seems very unnecessary; she’s powerful enough in her own right, and shouldn’t need to be swapped 1:1 for Geralt.


Let me assure you, if you’re not actually an EU citizen, signing would be a decidedly bad idea. All that would accomplish is pumped numbers that will be disregarded in the end, so it can only serve to hurt the campaign.


I’ll likely be upgrading Q1-ish, 1080ti is getting real long in the tooth. Remains to be seen whether I’ll be getting an RX 7900 XTX or something as yet unannounced.


FF7 Remake. I tried a “demo” and have been waiting for a sale. It’s still more than I’d like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.


There usually aren’t many complaints of something being woke if the product is actually good. I think the main takeaway is that nobody wants to be lectured, and told they are wrong for having a different opinion, and amateurish writing can easily come across as preachy or being a self-insert.



I don’t see this as refuting the previous point because those who don’t know nor care about Denuvo probably wouldn’t be pirating the game regardless. Pirates and entrenched enthusiasts are the ones in the know, so the real question is how many pirates actually purchase games they otherwise wouldn’t versus enthusiasts who refrain because of its inclusion.


True, but even through Steam, you’re still dealing with Ubi’s launcher and Denuvo, so it’s just adding another layer on top.



Kubuntu crapped out on me after updating, so I tried a few other distros. Bazzite refused to install, but OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has made a really good first impression.


You should not be getting promotional emails if you opt out, so something is wrong with your account/settings specifically. Contact them or filter your emails.


Hell yeah. I went with Kubuntu because I figured it would be easy for a beginner to troubleshoot eventual issues, given the amount of asked-and-answered Ubuntu queries online.


If you’re coming from Windows, something that runs KDE Plasma will feel very familiar.



I said not much trouble, not no trouble, but that being said, zero times. Issues I’ve encountered have not been related to getting a game running.


Maybe you’re going for more esoteric titles, or maybe some with invasive anti-cheat software, but just to add another, opposing point, I haven’t had much trouble since switching to Kubuntu.


Not released on Steam, it doesn’t release until December 10.


Inaccuracies, both historical and caused by a general lack of research. Stolen assets that they have no right to use, some of which could be considered culturally insensitive. Differences in the English and Japanese “apology” letter which make it seem like they’re disregarding the Japanese, or attempting to turn the rest of the world against them. General lack of polish.


You can buy third party joycons that make it a lot more comfortable. The originals are tiny and make my hands hurt.


7 Remake is currently 50% off on Steam, which means it’s about the price I would accept when not on sale. Square only needs to cut another 25% or so and they’ll make a customer of me.


I believe I read that, in other for them to consider a game successful, it has to generate more profits than if they had just invested all funds spent on the project.


I really doubt they’ve got an IP lock in place; just set up a Family and invite your siblings and in-laws.

Edit: tried it with a buddy, and it is in fact IP locked; he was unable to join until I set up a VPN for him to connect through. After initial setup, you don’t need the same IP address.
