WTF

Am I in a some weird parallel universe of something..

When on earth did that happen????


Am so behind on well everything by the looks of it!

It happened just last month, apparently. Loosing billions in brand value in the process, of course...

I am actually quite impressed looking at how far Nixxes have gone since Project Snowblind. Their first PC ports were not that popular and honestly were kind of buggy, but they improved a lot with Deus Ex and now they have a great reputation. Them fixing things up for Linux gamers is all the more impressive!

I don't usually get excited but this looks pretty amazing.

I'll try to hold my hype. If this turns out to be half what I think it could be I'll be a very happy player.

This brings a big smile to my face. There's a long game being played here, pushed by Valve, and this sort of thing is where it all begins.

Awesome. I just fired up Quake2RTX for the first time the other day and I'm getting a solid 25FPS on my RX6800XT at 4K.

Thanks Ian Murdock (RIP) and the Debian developer community. Debian is my preferred distro too, and I've been using it for a long time (more than 2 decades). Reminds me I should probably make a donation to show my appreciation.

Just today (without knowing about the 30 year's anniversary) I upgraded virtually all my home systems, including two dist-upgrades from Debian 11 (bullseye) to Debian 12 (bookworm).

Four Raspberry Pi, three Laptops, two small form factor PCs, two desktop PCs, and 1 mobile phone running Droidian (basically Debian on mobile).

True. But my frustration level on the user "reviews" prevail in all its glory. ;)

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: EhvisNice! That was a big nuisance.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderFor example...... Look at WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship.....
It works great now at least on my system..... But 2 and 3 years ago it didnt seem to work at all...... And those now out of date borked reports seem to still weigh the overall rating down to "Silver".........

Applies the other way around as well. Some games update and stop working and reports of previous versions keep the rating high long after the time it started to fail. A reduced weight for older reports or older proton versions would definitely help.

A "trend" rating could be helpful.

It does have that, with a squiggly arrow on the rating at times. Needs to be made clearer though.

I can't comment about the rest of them but JOURNEY TO THE SAVAGE PLANET is an absolute kick ass game, and plays great on the steam deck. I highly recommend.

Great gameplay and interesting first person shooter/puzzler with a silly story line with fantastic voice acting.

Quoting: ahoneybunThe music is in the trailer is amazing as well! I'm looking forward to this one!

/me wishlists and puts away some funds

You can join playtest via steam page of tempest rising.

Very playable. runs out of the box in manjaro linux
proton-ge 8.11
wayland

Game
however its good game it feels just red alert 3 with modified sage2.0 engine, classic C&C rts game with Nato vs Warsow even some units are copy from modern armies. (juggernaut units from Russia) (abraham tanks from USA)
easly fills the gap of cnc games on linux.

Seems to run fine though i did cap frame rate as 3400 fps in the menu was taking the *****

Only thing you do need Proton-GE as default it just crashes part way through the campaign start.


Is there likely to be a native version @Liam do you know?

Also when did you get a 5800x and a 6800xt? Could have sworn you was Intel/Nvidia
Guess I've missed more than I thought !

Quoting: BeamboomProblem is, 95% of the user "reviews" of the game don't even touch upon how the actual game is as it stands today. They go fully meta and leave a thumb down.

That's user "reviews" in a nutshell. Whiner valley.

I don't f'ing CARE what was originally promised or how the first game was or whatever. I want a good game to play, and don't want idealism and fanatism dictating if I should like something or not.

Well in this case, it's not like you have to spend money to find out.

Coincidentally I just updated from Bullseye (Debian 11) to Bookworm (12) two day ago. 🙂 Been using Debian since 2015 at this point (my first, and so far only, distro hop [from Linux Mint Debian Edition 😆]).

I find Linux distributions are great for when I need lots of names, like nicknaming Pokémon.

Quoting: 14

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: 14Save yourself the headache and use a single partition layout next time. The benefits of multiple partitions on the same disk are not worth it.

I don't mess with much, but I do very much like to keep a separate /home partition.

What are you gaining from that? When you copy to a new drive, do you do it at block level or something? Are you using different mount options? Different filesystem? I'm curious why you like it very much, enough to have to manage a synthetic size limitation.

Mostly for reinstalls and similar shenanigans. I'm not a tinkerer; if something goes wrong (which, it's been a while, but my habits were formed in the bad old days) my calculation is a reinstall is very likely to be faster than fucking around until I get the right fix (after reverting several wrong ones). And sometimes with Mint just "installing the new version, wiping the old" can work better than doing an upgrade.

As I say, this habit was established in like the 2000s. Probably less of an issue these days, but since it's a habit that has served me well but has never to my knowledge caused me any trouble, I think some upside versus zero downside is pretty worth it. There's always enough disk space that giving / more than it really needs doesn't take up much.
