Cue guitar riff

I read that it doesn’t work now, and you’re using lutris.

Have you tried Heroic (appimage) and Proton-GE?

Also, the expansion (phantom liberty) has DRM, so you won’t be able to run it from GOG just yet (there are workarounds like installing gog galaxy on wine, or using comet). First try to get ray tracing running without the expansion

Wow, this is great! Thanks!

Both games are awesome! I’ll add them

Including the one with the sisters?

Really good, played it when it came out. That phosphorus scene with the bodies of the victims stuck with me forever

Played both Human Revolution and Mankind divided. Incredible games, shame that the second one was cut before the story finished 🙁

I should play them again. I played 1 and Infinite only. Bioshock 2 felt like a cash grab at the time. Is it worth it?

First one. The second one… I’ve read it’s more of a vengeance story in the first half, and then you play the same story from the other side, making you see how awful revenge is.

Does it have scenes like the one with the giraffes?

Played them both! Awesome games, and glados is an awesome character!

I absolutely loved FFXIV, it was one of the reasons I played XVI. Yoshi-P, Zoken, and Koji Fox are awesome.

I bought an oled monitor, and returned it.

1. HDR is not enabled in mainstream kernel, and requires to hack and compile a custom kernel (6.2)
2. Even if you compile the kernel, the session you might be using doesn’t support it. I think only a gamescope session does.
3. If HDR is not your concern, the know that OLED monitors don’t work with 3 pixels, but more in different configurations. LG are WOLED (RWBG, 4 in a non standard distribution), while Samsung uses a triangle!. What this means is that fonts will be displayed awfully because they’re programmed to be displayed in RGB configurations.
   1. LG presents artifacts on the left and right side of the fonts because of RWBG config.
   2. Samsung presents artifacts on top and bottom because of the triangle.
   3. This happens both in windows and Linux. Something to do with freetype.

So yeah, I think no platform is ready for oled monitors just yet (maybe macOS?). I switched to a cheaper LED gaming monitor.

In my experience this happened with a game called Rochard. It’s no longer for sale, but I can download it from Steam whenever I want.

As someone who didn’t have enough money to get a color monitor, I can tell you colors have almost nothing to do with dopamine generation. I played a lot of games in B&W and even used mspaint! Printed my beloved drawings in a dot matrix printer…

I think you mean to reduce distractions, not colors…

I guess you’re right. Maybe endeavour has something along those lines.

The usual pacman -Syu

I think you're right. For the average desktop user, it's more about being able to use the software they need, without a terminal.

I think that desktop in linux has advanced a lot in the last few years, and now I'm running my games on a KDE desktop, too! But I keep having to go to the terminal to do stuff I took for granted on other systems, like OS security updates.

Customization doesn’t break as often, and you opt out of features already built in, rather than installing third party extensions that might bug out with every update.

You feel like you can change KDE to your workflow, rather than feel the DE force you into a specific way of working.

Please pick a rolling distro with KDE Plasma. I would recommend Endeavour OS.

A rolling distro is the most similar thing to keeping a Windows installation in terms of updates if you don't change the big version. You get constant updates, sure, but it's also really more compatible because software is not frozen until the next OS release.

In contrast, a standard release distro is more akin to macOS. You install the OS, but every X (6? 9? 12?) months, you must upgrade to the next big thing. This presents 2 problems IMHO: you have to wait that long for updates you might need, and the upgrade might break a lot of things.

And KDE is a Desktop Environment. This is the look and feel of the desktop. In my experience, I tried Gnome, Cinnamon, and XFCE, thinking they might be more aligned with the FOSS philosophy. Then I tried KDE because I bought a Steam Deck, and I immediatly loved it and haven't looked back. It's that good.

Started using Kona Ike dice it’s what came by default with KDE. Tried kitty, alacritty, foot (I think that was the name, on Wayland) and iterm2 on Mac… and came back to konsole in KDE and terminal.app in Mac.

Truth is I just need a simple terminal. Kitty and Alacritty and other terminals continuously had me in that’s-not-the-right-way, configuring terminal colors through ssh, or tmux compatability (kitty even says that you shouldn’t use tmux, and screen splitting should be done at the terminal, not in the server).

At the end of the day, I use whatever is installed where I work. So far, all “default” terminals seem to be enough.
