Yeah not sure that one holds up. I’m happily on Linux now, but permissions are something that often creep up and I need to sudo often.

Grrroooossss, noooo I liked you Square Enix in spite of everything else.

Good lord that is bad.

Wouldn’t you be playing Sierra games from the 90s in ScummVM whether you were on Linux or Windows anyway?

Gabe’s deification has always been disturbing to me. There are no good billionaires.

Gross.

Do you have specific examples of games that didn’t work for you?

This was a genuine concern to me before my switch. I game a lot and this was a main thing keeping me back.

I eventually decided, well I’ll at least dual boot and can just switch to Windows if I want to play a game there.

But that kinda turned out to be a pain in the ass. Things like Bluetooth devices would need to be switched each time (I know there are ways around this, don’t @ me), and more.

So… I just stopped using Windows to avoid that annoyance. And it turns out I don’t miss the games I could only play on Windows that much, because I haven’t booted into Windows in months. I’m fact I’m not really sure why I still have the partition.

Tl:dr just do it.

Ah, but then how will I use Microsoft Teams?

That is kind of wild to me because Souls game are some of the most free-form action games I know. You can often tackle areas in an order of your choice, use a build of your choice, even kill NPCs if you so please.

Already played Cairn demo a while ago but it’s the one game I’m probably looking forward to the most right now.

Class traitor? Seriously? Come on man.

Playing Hades 2 on desktop, Hollow Knight on deck, and Anno 117 is coming out in a month… Not to mention the five other games I added to my backlog this year and haven’t touched yet.

I will be skipping this sale, methinks.

I play games of many varieties, and didn’t care for AC Origins either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really wanted to like this game. I wanted to so bad. I can acknowledge many of its pros, and I can understand why many people like it.

But everything is so. Fucking. Slow. And every mission is “hold A to ride your horse for a long time and then do a small amount of actual action, if you’re lucky”.

Yo this looks really cool.

I don’t think I’d actually say it’s my favourite, but the opening cinematic/menu song for Dragon’s Dogma is pretty nostalgic for me. And kinda became a meme in the games hardcore community fanbase.

This may be the most technically disastrous launch since Cyberpunk.

But my guy, you provided context which shows that Borderlands 4 does run like shit on a 4090 in a lab environment.

Borderlands 3 on highest settings with a 4090, a worse cpu, at 1440p ran at 210 average fps.

You telling me that Borderlands 4 looks good enough compared to 3 to explain a 143 fps drop?

That doesn’t really seem to contradict the other person’s claim that much? In fact like your said if just a few other things are running on that person’s pc and eating some resources, their claim seems super believable in the context of what you just said so I’m not sure what your point is.

A reviewer/tester is going to be benchmarking in a best case scenario environment. Real people using their real computers will be experiencing a huge variety of other environments. Different temps, hardware settings, programs running, etc. None of that context excuses the performance, and makes that person’s performance claim believable.

Holy fuck that is so much worse than I realized it was. What a joke.

I’ve seen multiple people report they have to reboot after an hour or two or play because it has memory leak issues.

Holy shit you get 80 fps with frame gen on with a 4090? What resolution?

This is awesome to hear! I may spin it up this weekend just to check it out.

Masterpiece.

Well that’s not a combination I ever thought I’d see.

That’s wildly unfair. Even the games within those franchises are often wildly different from each other and many are widely considered hallmarks in game design. Plus, Nintendo doesn’t make Pokémon.

this was one of those rare examples where we can all come together to objectively declare these characters a train wreck.

I don’t think you know what objective means.

It was a pretty high profile release in the gaming world. Not like “primetime TV ad spot” high profile, but within gaming circles it was big news.

I will, respectfully, still disagree with that assertion. Just because Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, and the like are on their umpteenth entry, does not mean that no more unique and novel games are being made.

Neither quality nor diversity are objective measures, and I’d certainly disagree with you that they didn’t improve.

Still working my way through Crosscode.

Spoilers are better when you can see what you’d be spoiling before you click on it, for the record.

Doubt it. Not with the money they take in.

I was talking about the mechanics.

don’t enjoy the battle royale game style.

I’m genuinely confused about what you want. Have you played Titanfall 2?

Wreckfest is stupid fun but more arcade than realism.

This initiative does not seek to be retroactive.

Gamers rise up

Never even heard of it.
