I’ve been running pop_OS! on my Razer Blade for a few years with no issues. They install Nvidia drivers by default and also have power profiles that support hybrid graphics out of the box.

On my desktop gaming PC (with an APU and NVIDIA 10-series GPU), I’ve tried EndeavorOS and Garuda but I haven’t been able to get waking up from sleep to work on either, it crashes my graphical session everytime

Shadows’ EULA also includes a provision that allows the game to monitor your PC’s RAM to ensure you’re not running any unauthorized programs like macros, cheats, or hacks, a well-intentioned clause that nonetheless feels a touch out of place in a single-player game

Why the fuck would I allow Ubisoft to monitor my RAM while playing a SINGLE-PLAYER GAME. They just want to datamine my PC or something?

This could be bad news indeed. Sony has at least been releasing their exclusive titles on PC recently, so even if they go through with the acquisition we might still get future FromSoft games on PC (hopefully) but the tidbit about their anime and manga holdings is also troubling.

BRAT

Watching Mercy rez the entire team really brings me back lmao

Ooh finally. Maybe they’ve changed that since nvcleaninstall is a thing

Damn. I was hoping to get it on launch on PC so I could split my time playing in my gaming rig and my Steam Deck. Sounds like that’s not gonna work out

This actually looks great

Exactly this; for a video game developer to claim otherwise is incomprehensible, and likely is just doublespeak to mask something

I’ve never used spatial audio in a CoD game - does it really give that much of an advantage in multiplayer? I doubt it but idk

Idk the first one runs great

Lmao nice. Hopefully it doesn’t require Microsoft. Would love to play this on Steam Deck with my friends

Seems like a no brainer to me! Glad this is getting implemented

Thanks, that’s what I was wondering

Pic looks a bit like Rami Malek

I agree, if they like survival games like Minecraft and Terraria, I too would recommend Valheim and The Forest/SOTF

I just heard about this game for the first time in the last week. It looks like if I want to play it I’ll have to buy this guy’s patreon to download and emulate it on my PC?

Yeah this was more or less Ray Kruzweil’s take all the way back in 2005.

Totally. The OG Xbox one was released November 2013, so this is only 11 years later. While 11 years may seem like a long time, of course we can still play games on pretty much any console that came before it so long as they are still in working order. Especially annoying considering an Xbox is very similar to a PC.

I’ve wanted to replay Oblivion for ~12 years, but originally held off once I heard that Skyblivion was in the works. Should I just stop waiting and play modded Oblivion? Are there enough QoL, hires texture, and other mods to get close enough?

Yeah I’m not a pro at tricky platformers but I was able to get all the missions done without adjusting difficulty or using assists. What people don’t realize is when you die you resume immediately where you left off so you never have to backtrack or replay levels. If you don’t get frustrated banging your head against the wall, it is actually pretty easy.

If you can get it working somehow, I would definitely recommend playing it! Earlier this year I played through 95% of the game on my Steam Deck (using Vulkan) then switched to my gaming desktop for the final few bits where I needed keyboard and mouse to get the job done. It’s easily one my favorite games ever now.

Has it been confirmed that wirebugs will return in Wilds?

I uninstalled the Google News app bc otherwise I’m sure it’d send me notifications for articles about bosses and lore

Yup:

“Bethesda and Todd Howard announced Elder Scrolls 6 when they did because of fan demand, or in the words of Skyrim’s lead designer Bruce Nesmith, because ‘the pitchforks and torches were out.’” Source

Elder Scrolls VI exits pre-production, development begins (August 2023)

Agree. I’ve had one MSI motherboard and it didn’t last long. I’ve had two ASUS motherboards and neither ever had any problems. Ofc I wouldn’t buy another now that this story came out though

Yeah this is maybe his best video yet!

My brother used to be able to get like 2,000,000 points with Mac at Tokyo Megaplex. That course was the best for tricks!

Totally! My Plex server uses a 10th Gen i7 for exactly that reason. I just switched to an AM5 CPU for my main gaming rig though, and it is awesome! Only minor gripe is that it doesn’t have Thunderbolt (doesn’t affect me on that PC though)

My Samsung S21 has a feature called “Protect Battery” which limits the battery to only 85% so you never fully charge it to 100% and thus conserve the battery more. Since I can still get a full day of battery with only 85% (topping it off when using wired Android Auto in my car) this has worked well for me. Not sure how accurate it is, but Accubattery reports my battery health is still at 92% after 3 years

Yeah team balance felt way off, also the tankiness of characters really killed it for me. It taking like 3+ melees to finish off an opponent was infuriating

Since scalpers would buy out all the stores and stuff, many people such as myself initially turned to discord channels for tracking new shipments to different retailers. I would check it a few times a day, checking Best Buy branches’ online inventories. Eventually Sony made a system where you could register with your PlayStation account for a slot ordering from the next available shipment.

I am currently still using my S21 which I debloated as much as possible without flashing a different ROM on it (I don’t want to potentially break Knox). I’ve always preferred Samsung’s hardware and I prefer the smaller size to the Pixels which have gotten so big now. I still think my next phone will be a Pixel so I can use grapheneOS on it, especially now that you can use Android Auto in Graphene now. But the bulkiness of pixels really does turn me off to them. I am not a fan of their huge camera bar bumps either.

It wouldn’t surprise me if someone does use the software training program that goes with it to program its bottom rgb strip to color-suggest the highlighted segments on Pornhub videos.

Can someone help me remember the name of a certain game? I heard about it in an LTT video. Apparently it’s a really cheap 8(+?)-player Steam game that is a sort of magic/wizard free-for-all game that’s lots of fun with little strategy. I’ve been racking my brain trying to remember the name of it.

Same here: it is my first Diablo game and I am loving it! 80+ hours in and now I’m just grinding levels to try and get to lvl 100 and to get fully kitted out in my first character. It’s been so cool to grind levels on my Steam Deck OLED while watching TV on the couch.

I tried The Finals a couple days ago and was not enthused about a few aspects of the game: characters are bullet sponges and also take way too many melees to kill, and it’s still early in its development so my friends and I encountered several game breaking bugs like clipping through the floor and my friend got stuck facing a certain direction and had to DC to fix it (he even tried switching controllers to confirm it was the game’s fault). Fortunately glitches can be fixed and my other gripes can get fixed with balance changes. Also it is super annoying that when switching weapons/tools you have to press a button to confirm the switch which feels quite clunky. Overall, the game shows some promise.

Depending on the game though the online scene may have died out by the time the game is discounted.

Woohoo-ing*

Confirmed laggy for me running Fennec on Android 13 on my S21.

I’ve encountered this laggy scrolling on other websites as well since switching to FF ~4 months ago.
