It's a fantastic option at this point. I've been a GeForce Now user since 15 or 16 (whenever they launched the ShieldTV beta) and it's.... ok? You can still run it on deck as well of there's any concern.

Worth considering he could also use GeForce now while saving for a Steam Deck. Used ones go on sale for under $300 pretty frequently.

This is peak gamer. I am in awe.

What are some valid criticisms of Lemmy do you hear from people who tried out the platform? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Have you tried being more in to US Politics, Linux and Privacy? I've found several very vibrant communities for those here.

Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I like the idea of pronouncing it hook-ai-rs just for the implications on Ubers becoming u-bears.

"U-bears for hook-ai-rs" makes me chuckle. It's just the right amount of churches up.

Better than the 100% propaganda being spewed by Musk and his fluffers on X.

Fuck corpo social media. Arch, btw

Whatever happened to racing games in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

There is also The Crew, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon as well as Gran Turismo to mention a few more that I have played. Plus a whole slew of hardcore F1 titles, Nascar titles and the Trackmania series.

There might be something in there that catches your attention. Could just be a case of these not surfacing in your algorithm to get noticed.

How quickly can you write up a proposal? We can have GPT get us a mockup of the ui by tomorrow and be ready for production by Friday...

Did I say all of that correctly?

I can't believe my sleep addled brain read this as "e-scorts" like it was some new gaming thing.

This new FPS is so good, it's almost unfair that it's free: A '1v1 me bro' simulator with 70 maps and no microtransactions that feels like the sickest Counter-Strike: Source mod of 2007 in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Straftat since it's not in the title.

Please, for the the love of all that is good, let me block things without having to open the post. in c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

This is a fantastic request. I, unfortunately, do not need any type of daddy in my life at this time and it's rather difficult to block them in all without going to the post or community.

My wife and I had and interesting pandemic that required a lot of travel unfortunately.

We gamed almost exclusively on Stadia while doing so and it was near flawless. I know it's meme for Google to kill things but man did that one really sting.

GeForce Now, PS Whatever and Xbox Cloud all aren't there when it comes to how immediate Stadia felt. I'll forever be bummed that they didn't hold out for a few more years until mainstream adoption.

Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty (www.nme.com)

Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can "journalists" even entertain reporting on this?

Honestly I'm just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they're not for scrub casuals like themselves.

What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev's have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I'm just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?

Hi all,

Is there a conf change I can make to bypass local address filtering with ProtonVPN on Linux? When I attempt to access NFS and SMB shares on LAN they fail to connect with Proton active.

Thanks!
