I’ve been hearing good things about it, makes me wanna try it.
Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn’t properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends. Made way too many Fedi accounts

This laptop does have a dedicated GPU and was quite decent for the time. It was my only gaming machine for quite some years. Now I want to keep it alive with Linux for other general uses or work. Said dedicated GPU has been the source of many issues even when it still was under issues. The setup of Intel i5 with integrated graphics + an AMD Radeon GPU is uh… shaky under most driver circumstances and applications never know which of the two to use (usually defaulting to the wrong one)
I’ve been running Wayland to “get used to” the newer technology, and I don’t think that in itself has much impact on performance… Even if I do turn off the effects on KDE, I still feel like it’s doing way way more than I need or want it to do, and it does have a very noticeable impact on the speed things happen. Slightly slower than Cinnamon was, although both are also still way faster than it’s last Windows install… lol
Right now the main “problem” I have is that KDE is handling a few things I want it to handle, and that there’s a lot of applications I installed alongside it that I’d have to remove to swap fully to another DE. Almost makes me think it’d be easier to do another clean Arch install, but that took me almost a week to fully set up. (as I’d start to find the things that I hadn’t yet configured or installed gradually)
I did like the Openbox part of LXQt. Might re-install that.
Fuck. This is me with music production about a month ago. I produced exactly 5 seconds of music trying to learn it after several days of endlessly learning about it.
What about Grim Dawn?
They’ve been doing snaps for a few years already so it already seems like they’re keeping up with this bullshit (in fact they’re putting more and more stuff there) It’s already the reason people stopped recommending Ubuntu to new users and instead go for Mint or Pop!OS
It’s amazing that it’s still the best rally sim to this day. This game is old enough to drink in the States.
welp, guess I’m keeping this thread open for tomorrow morning when I get to fixing this. Hopefully by then things will be more fixed upstream…
Why am I not surprised.
Always online even in singleplayer is already a non-starter, but other than that (people literally not being able to play the game on release due to congested login servers) the driving is subpar, the city map looks nice but is empty like a ghost town, the driving is subpar, the soundtrack is terrible, the radio inserts sound AI generated, and progression seems bad too.
Oh, and apparently this was the best they could do after several delays of over a year. I hear the entire dev team went on strike against their publisher immediately after release too. And to think they also trashed their last WRC title for this, too. Just an absolute drawn out shitshow.
You sure it isn’t the finance and management guys leaving at 4pm and earlier while developers are expected to work past hours and even at home?
And then when I say allbillionaires should be put into flaming woodchippers feet first I’m the one that’s out of line.
Thanks for taking that L for the industry again, Peter.
also, get flashbanged by the extremely bright white logo screen on a dark game at night
Eh, it’s annoying but it wasn’t even a very good wad. If you want to play it, you can just download it off the internet and play it on another free sourceport.
Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry and Dragon Age: full of insipid, unnecessary microtransactions ranging from regular consumable items, to cosmetics that were usually just included with the game normally. God I love Capcom’s games but I hate them as a company.
Although I grew up with Playstation controllers in my hands, ever since I tried an XBox 360 controller I never went back. I’ve been using XBone controllers on my PC for years now, and I just love the ergonomics of them in my hand, the clicky D-pad, the rounded buttons. I’ve always hated the PS dpad, it hurts my thumb. Now, I probably won’t keep buying “original” XBox controllers, but anything with that shape and feels that comfortable in my hand, will be my choice.
I really want to get one of those.
Sony REALLY wanted this to be the next big thing, the next Overwatch. Except even Overwatch itself failed at being the “next Overwatch” so this is hilarious.
Alright, thanks for that. I’ll take a closer look later today when I’m at the PC, but the plan today is to try out different minimal environments to see what I like. And this time I actually remembered to make a Timeshift snapshot ahead of time (my latest one was like a couple of weeks ago)
