Only if you like smudges due to upscaling and TAA.

Not like their saliva would have any of it anyway /s

Funnily enough I recently had to disable ipv4 in a game because of connection issues.

Let's plays can be okay for new games, but I'd look into emulating something on your phone. If you crave the pc experience (which I totally get), you can probably get an old laptop for very cheap, slap linux on it and have fun.

I don't get why people hate on this. Do all the useless nick-nacks actually add something to their lives?

If this is all you need, what's the problem?

I've been trying to learn russian but it's been hard. I mostly know how to read Cyrillic and a few words and phrases. Everything else has been pretty difficult to make it stick in my head.

FMV game, I wouldn't count on it.

A lot more people are phone only than computer preferred.

The few games I've played that had a native linux version either were too light to make a difference (FTL) or actually ran worse (paradox games), which is a shame.

But you NEED the green and expensive GPU, otherwise you are missing out!!!!

Don't do that. It can be a huge headache if any problems come up and you need to prove you are, well, you.

Freespace is a bigger game with more ships and is more military focused. This game is more about being a mercenary/freelancer with very good voice acting and the world feels fleshed out. It's also super easy, comparatively.

 

Got Tachyon: The Fringe from GOG recently. I loved this game when I was a kid, and you know what? The game is still lots of fun! The graphics are still alright and it ran out of the box on Linux. My X52 even works with it!

I miss this era of short but sweet games.

 

I was looking at the protondb for Battlefield V and it has a gold medal despite the fact that it has been literally unplayable (the game won't even start) fpr 6 months now.

Are medals impossible to lose? Or do they run on some sort of manual verification? Is there some way to request a game to have it's grade changed.

For reference, the change in this case was the addition of EA Anti-cheat, which breaks linux compatibility and borked a considerable number of games, even older ones.

 

Runescape Valheim is a weird pitch but I guess it looks ok

 

There was a recent update allowing for more options for viewing votes, which I believe has broken the app in this regard. When logging in from other instances tgat don't have these changes yet, it works as expected.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but I looked around and couldn't find a better place, nor anyone talking about this.

I currently can neither see upvotes and downvotes, nor vote.

Edit: I logged in my PC and they are there. I think it's something with Sync, sorry for the confusion!

 

Maybe you haven't been convinced by a good enough argument. Maybe you just don't want to admit you are wrong. Or maybe the chaos is the objective, but what are you knowingly on the wrong side of?

In my case: I don't think any games are obliged to offer an easy mode. If developers want to tailor a specific experience, they don't have to dilute it with easier or harder modes that aren't actually interesting and/or anything more than poorly done numbers adjustments. BUT I also know that for the people that need and want them, it helps a LOT. But I can't really accept making the game worse so that some people get to play it. They wouldn't actually be playing the same game after all...

 

I did it. For a few years now I've wanted to make the jump but lazyness and a bit of worry that my main game wouldn't work very well kept me from it.

Then some effing windows update caused ridiculous stuttering on games (or maybe it was a auto-update of some other hidden thing, I couldn't figure it out) so I decided that if I needed a system wipe, might as well as try gaming on linux.

Honestly? Much easier than I expected. Install Steam, turn two options on and 90% of your library is ready to go. I had to tinker with getting freesync to work (ended up just switching to wayland, which just worked) but other than the plugins I use for my main game requiring a bit of more work, smooth as butter really.

So yeah, if you are a lazy gamer like I am, next time you do a system wipe or get a new computer, try installing linux first. Don't even bother Dual booting it, if you don't like it just reinstall (setup your usb drive with ventoy and the images you want to try out.)

 

Your favorite movie, series, or anything else really that you can't find a community here (or maybe it just doesn't exist)

 

One big project or multiple smallers ones? What do you think?

 

Let's say I'm from instance A and use a community from instance B. Let's say another user of instance C, that's not federated with A but is with B, post in B. Can I see that post?
