Oblivion Remaster: I loved Skyrim, but this game felt not as fun as Skyrim to me. Not sure what it was. Maybe it’s just nostalgia for Skyrim and I don’t have the patience for those kinds of games anymore.

Hollow Knight: The platforming always felt clunky and the constantly having to Google shit to figure out where I’m supposed to go next without spending 4 hours backtracking turned me off. I much prefer the Ori games to Hollow Knight.

I also was not a fan of Hollow Knight. My biggest problem was the constant backtracking and not knowing where to go to progress the story. And the platforming always felt…wrong. It felt like your character would go between having and not having lead tied to their shoes. It didn’t feel fluid.

If you want a great platformer in a similar vein to Hollow Knight that has a beautiful art style, snappy controls, and punchy gameplay, check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

Same here. I have an AM4 board with a 5800X that cost $110 and a 9060XT I got for $10 above MSRP. I was complaining I couldn’t get it at MSRP back then, but now I’m not complaining anymore.

Something tells me I won’t be upgrading for a while.

I am very interested in this, but the fact they’re “slow rolling” actual pod racing is…an odd choice. Everybody universally liked Episode 1 Racer. Why are they not focusing primarily on pod racing, with other types of vehicles also there?

Seems weird that it’s the other way around and makes me think this is another Star Wars Squadrons, which is a game I was extremely excited about, but the controls sucked on and EA botched.

If you like the style of gameplay, it is nothing like it’s original launch state.

Lol what the actual fuck is this game. I’m interested, but also slightly disturbed 😂

It has voice and video. It’s more a messaging app than something like a Discord alternative. It is secure SMS-like experience with audio and video calls.

I use it a lot and donate to Signal. It’s awesome.

I started to get really nervous reading the beginning of the headline, expecting some litigation thing. Glad I was wrong and it’s just a wonderful update blog.

I’m in agreement. I find whitespace tabulation stupid. I just don’t understand why people would want a thing they can’t see to be the part that delineates your code.

Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?

I know speculation is fun, but until we know the price officially, all of this is moot. Wait until next year when they announce actual pricing and judge it then for its value.

I, personally, don’t think it’ll be a successful product if it isn’t less than $800. They don’t have to have it cost console prices, but it does need to be at least somewhat within spitting distance. If the price is the cost of an Xbox or Playstation plus, say…a year of their online service subscription, I think that could be marketable.

If it’s closer to a grand, it’ll be a flop like the first Steam Machines.

Nice idea to make Xbox and PC one platform, but given how badly the ROG Xbox handheld was implemented (since you can’t play Xbox games on this “Xbox”), good luck with that.

There are plenty of ARM on PC examples and there will always be an alternative option that is open there. It’s too entrenched.

We need to free mobile devices with functional distros like mobian/postmarketos that are fully functional.

Which Batman game is this from?

EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.

Devices don’t “need breaks”. This problem is indicative of a memory leak, which means they coded something shitty.

Sure, playing for 7 hours straight is excessive, but this shouldn’t happen.

Both are valid commands.

adb install is for individual apk files.

adb sideload is for compressed zip files to load images and system files that usually include apps.

But yes, I did conflate the two and forgot the command syntax.

Either way, I don’t fully understand the hate for the word “sideload”. I don’t find it has a negative implication, but I can see how some other people might.

Installing apps from Aurora, F-Droid, etc. are not “sideloading”, though, and that does bug me how people conflate the two like the Play Store is the only valid way of installing apps on your phone. If you’re installing them from within an environment on your phone, it shouldn’t be called that. Only when you’re loading apps from a PC via adb should it be called “sideloading”.

I mean… That command is “adb sideload”

Can’t. Too busy blocking side loading.

Why not stream it from Steam Link or via Game Pass?

They stopped providing DeviceTree files for Pixel phones, so building Android 16 requires reverse engineering now. They only provided stuff for the generic system images, so building the Linux Kernel for third party ROMs is now much harder.

This post made me buy and play the game through. I did my first playthrough in about 4 hours and… Wow … My brain is going to be contemplating the story for a while. Incredible. Just incredible.

Given that it didn’t exist yet, more like an Undertale rip off

No it’s not. It’s sad.

I second this, although some of the bosses can be quite a challenge.

…uh…cool…

What a joke. Development for 10 years and you just cancel it like a fart in the wind. I’d be utterly ashamed at that kind of mismanagement.

This. You have to install the Windows version with Proton, sadly. They stopped support for the native Linux build.

It was a streamed app you could get from web sites and stuff. It was stupid and made little sense.

And failing, apparently

Sonic Origins used the same engine and basically was like “people seem to like classic Sonic games. Let’s make Sonic Mania themed in Genesis era games”.

And yet…they STILL fucked it up. Not as badly as they usually do, mind you, but still.

There is no “objective” when talking about subjective terms.

My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2

It’s always interesting seeing the different experiences people have. I have way less problems on Linux with games than I do on Windows. Mostly because every time I would boot into Windows, I’d have to spend 15-20 minutes on a good day installing patches for games and Windows Updates.

I made the jump two years ago. I started with a 512GB SATA SSD with Windows and then my main drive on Linux.

There aren’t any games I play regularly that don’t “just work” on Linux, but I also get that can depend on the person. I hope you can get there one day.

Until then…maybe dual boot?

And I’ll continue to not buy them and support indie developers instead.

Cheers mate

If you want to run VR on Linux with your Quest headset, WiVRn works absolutely flawlessly. Been running VR with my Quest 2 for a while with it.

Not sure if jailbreaks exist for the Quest 3, but I’ve considered jailbreaking my Quest 2 in order to run it without a Meta account.

You installed KDE on Mint? Why not just install Debian with KDE?

Start with something simple like Linux Mint. You can run it in a VM, if you want to “try before you buy (in)”.
