I'll enjoy it for like a month and then something awful will happen and I'll say well this is pretty terrible. This month my PC just stopped waking up from sleep. No response from keyboard, mouse inputs. Tried various different devices to wake the PC up, nada. Only returns on reboot. Arch btw
In an interview with PC Gamer, Kiciński and managing director Maciej Gołębiewski were asked whether GOG had plans to focus more on Linux going forward, given a growth in pro-Linux and anti-Windows sentiment among some PC players. ...
So... Is this a good thing? Bad thing? Gut reaction says that probably not the greatest for GOG, being detached from a huge publisher like CD Projekt probably isn't great for a niche marketplace. In their faqs it states that GOG had a strong year financially but they would of course bill it that way. The question about why the ...
It's not pointless, just knowing they're working on a divinity sequel is exciting to me. Claiming the game looks amazing or some variation of is wrong though.
Currently pulling my hair out with Tactics Ogre: Reborn. Got kind of fed up with the changes from the older games so halfway through I decided to blitz through the game and avoid anything optional; currently at the last few fights before the final boss and am feeling very afraid I'm going to get stuck at the end...
Lol I feel you. I did just manage to beat the game yesterday without too much headache so hopefully you can too. As long as you can keep clearing battles without a ton of restarts I think you'll be ok. Just make sure to have a lot of mana restoration items haha
Glad to hear that it should work, gives me some hope at least. The Thor is an android based handheld but yeah it should support higher framerates easy. Double checked all settings so it should just work. What I didn't try is turning off game recording, will give that a go. Thanks!
Yeah it might be the same issue but not sure if it'll be applicable. The OP mentions he's running windows 11 so idk if the issue is the same. Unfortunately as far as I can tell remote play was just broken last time I tried it on arch hence when I'm trying sunshine. And Apollo doesn't support Linux yet which is a bummer because I guess it's better than sunshine?
I haven't monitored system resources yet because the games I was testing I knew wouldn't stress the system (Hades or something) and it worked perfectly on my windows build. I'll try checking it out now though just to see.
What would you suggest for checking the network? Are you talking about like actual RFI or like a packet sniffer kind of thing?
Ah I see. This is my first Linux install so wasn't aware I could just build it and run it. When googling people were just saying it wasn't available on the AUR so I thought it was just a no go. I'll try seeing if I can get something else to run
Well, I got steam remote play working and was able to get it working flawlessly. Ran Avalon Tainted Grail (relatively demanding game) at 120ish on both the local machine and streamed to my remote device. So it should just be something with Sunshine. Do you think I should just uninstall Sunshine and make a build of Apollo and see how that goes? I dug through Sunshine's settings again and not seeing anything screaming out to me saying it's wrong. Unfortunately I'm away from my PC right now so can't get logs but I can post those later once I'm home.
Well if I can get it fixed I'll let you know haha. Theoretically it should be possible, I just streamed some games at 120FPS on steam remote play flawlessly. So now just need to get it working on sunshine. Check back in a week or so haha
So I think maybe that was it. I found this reddit thread and that nvenc cuda message seemed to mirror my logs. I uninstalled the AUR sunshine and just ran that guy's wget/pacman commands and streaming just worked, 1080p 120FPS. Thanks for your help!
Whaaa? I was just in Seattle, $13 for a chicken burrito and chips with salsa. I think chipotle is still the best deal in fast food, buying the two cheeseburger meal at McDonald's is basically the same price and way less healthy.
AYN recently got in touch with me, asking if I'd like to review the AYN Thor in an article, and...naturally I said 'yes'. I've been super excited, seeing that there's a new boom in DS retro handhelds, hoping that this might mean a viable alternative to the older genuine Nintendo hardware. ...
No HDMI port but does support video over its USB c connector and full support for multiple controllers. Most handhelds that start around probably $150 and are android based will most likely have this functionality as well.

You ever have issues with sites not accepting your email? I tried to claim some free games on epic, made an account with my email provider (not Gmail), but I would keep getting errors saying some shit like please enter a real address or something. I don't have issues with every site but it's a pain when it doesn't work.
Fujoshi (腐女子) is the Japanese word for what you're mentioning, which I'm sure is not what they're using China. I can offer no further insight than that.

This one has really surprised me. I'm not sure when this became so widespread, I guess because of tiktok? I feel like almost every channel I watch the advertiser unfriendly words are censored or are substituted with unalived or something. Pretty unfortunate.
Almost 14 thousand games released this year on steam. You could say malware is 100x more likely than the 4 publicly known instances you mention and that's still not even 3% of games released. Steam is responsible but I don't know how you expect them to get that down 0% besides manually reviewing game code line by line, which would probably destroy the platform. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good
Lmao well I don't know what you want. If you want your PC to be secure, don't use the Internet. You can't expect every piece of software you come across to be perfectly vetted. In an ideal world sure everything would be foss and peer reviewed but that sure as hell ain't the world we live in.
Seriously, people saying that about pepe here reminds me of conservatives saying video games are the problem. It's like come on, I don't think the 19 year old woman streaming stardew valley on twitch to 12 people and posting okayge in chat even knows what a 4chan is lol
I have no doubt it's incredibly easy to dox someone from upvotes alone. Maybe not on lemmy because interactions are just a lot more infrequent, but on reddit if you upvote posts about Omaha Nebraska, retro game collecting, Subaru wrx, and e bikes, you really narrow down your choice of people. If you just had one other bit of information about the user, like just a general photo or where they went to high school you could definitely nail someone down.
I really do hate this part of the Lemmyverse and wish it was all obfuscated. That with it being impossible to delete your posts really limits how much I want to interact with the site.
Really hope they move the clans to the base game. I never buy games at launch but if I'm interested enough will at the first sale. This one will heavily rely on reviews though lol
In theory that sounds good but I don't really get how it'd work. I mean what if you just lived four hours away so your commute there and back was just your eight hours? That's obviously ridiculous so what's the cut off? Like an hour? How does that affect breaks and lunch if you do live an hour away so you're only working six hours? Or is it just like a premium pay, like you earn 10% of your salary on your way in?
I mean if I was a miner and instead of working in the mines I could just drive for 8 hours that sounds a little more doable. In any case, what if I just get a job somewhere and then move? As much as people on lemmy hate driving I'm sure there's someone out there who likes it.
Interesting. Where I work we have field techs as well but I guess it's a little different. Everyone's issued their own truck, the truck just lives at the office. So you'd drive to the office, pick up your truck, and then start earning windshield time. In any case, I do wonder what it'd look like for like a retail worker or something.

I've used it for a while. It's good enough but you can tell it's still early days for the site. It'll sync your achievements and playtime with steam and gog so that's cool but then it'll lag a bit maneuvering around the site and remind you that the products not fully done. They also offer a premium subscription where you can get early access to features and other promotions but I haven't ever really felt the need to get that. Honestly my biggest hangup is that they're just newer; if the site dies then I'm concerned with all of my tracking just going poof one day since I write little journal entries for them to remind me how I felt about certain games. Overall it's fine, but maybe check out some others first.
Are you talking about an automatic curated suggestion list like how steam does? I don't think there's really anything like that. The site does have a community created lists section where people can create categories and add games to them while explaining their thoughts on it a little bit, like this.
As per title, if you had to switch away from Spotify ASAP, what streaming service would you go with? Ideally something around the same price range, meaning the change won't incur in extra expenses.

I have YouTube music and... It's pretty awful. Ytmusic will sync your liked YouTube videos with your liked music playlist. So I'll shuffle my playlist and get this or like a 10 minute music video where half of it is just people talking.
They'll just continue their focus on large western/Asian markets, it's not like they need every country to be successful. They've been conditioned to just buy whatever AAA is put out
