There are 30,000 exclusives on steam.

There's a huge difference between paying a publisher to only publish on your platform and publishers picking their distribution platform themselves. Valve pays 0 dollars for publishers to be exclusive to Steam.

No, not really. Sony, Microsoft, Stadia, and most storefronts have exclusives with benefits.

I never said any of them are any better, just because it's industry standard doesn't make it good. If you pay publishers to release games exclusively on your platform and you are not actively funding development you are anti-competitive in my eyes. (Also Stadia doesn't exist anymore)

Overall, you should be made at the studios that accept the offer instead of Epic.

I am mad at both and I do not support either.

Epic is just trying to fund indie teams

If only that were true I would be less mad. Most of the time they try to snatch up games that are already finished or were already planning to release on Steam/GOG. Sometimes they even pull games from other stores (Rocket League and Fall Guys) after they released or just before they release (Metro). That's not the practices of someone who wants to compete but someone who wants to get into the market by force without actively doing anything good for the industry.

Not "bad" but disappointing: No Man's Sky. There's a lot to be liked here but as someone who has played Elite Dangerous everything is just so incredibly dumbed down.

Fighting is trivially easy, just hold S, shoot and grab a snack while doing it.

There's absolutely no consequences for anything. It doesn't matter how much fuel I have because I can just find new fuel anywhere or teleport somewhere completely different. Doesn't matter where I log out because the game will just throw me to the same system as my coop partner anyway.

Doesn't matter if the authorities want me, just fly into a station and all is forgotten. Got contraband? Just tell them to get lost and fly away casually. No bounty on my head, no nothing.

Don't get me wrong, Elite is definitely way too hardcore for casual play but at the same time the only thing No Man's Sky has done is make me want to play Elite again.

Epic really hasn't done anything bad.

You don't consider bribing game publishers to only release on their platform instead of actually competing bad?

I don't mind if they fund development and then release only on their platform. I do mind of they snatch up games that could have seen a broader release, if they weren't so lazy and actually developed a store worth using.

Not sure if it's supported on x86 but CoreELEC has had support for HDR on most modern ARM chips for a while now.

I use a Odroid N2+ as HTPC and play 4k HDR content with no issues.

Downloads are here: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/releases

You have to expand the "Assets" button under the text and download one of the two "Win" versions.

Here's a direct link: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/releases/download/Tip/FreeCAD-Link-Tip-Win-x86_64-py3.11-20231102.7z

If your vacuum supports it, Valetudo is fantastic. https://valetudo.cloud/

ssh-keygen now defaults to ed25519 so you don't have to do ssh-keygen -t ed25519 anymore. The default since 2014 is for key exchange when connecting.

Extreme stuttering in Yuzu. It reads 60fps but it is absolutely not. Using the AUR version, since the Flatpak can’t load my roms folder from my NAS. (Before you assume the network drive is the issue, know that it is over a 10g SFP+ on an NVMe on the NAS. No problems in Windows.)

I don't have an Nvidia GPU but give the pineappleEA builds a try. It contains all the changes in the current early access build as well.

As for running the Flatpak, you have to whitelist the folder your NAS folder is mounted on. Best way to do that is by installing Flatseal. Just search for yuzu, scroll down to Filesystem and add the folder where your games are contained in Other files.

Check out Btrfs Assistant. It does what Timeshift does with a similar UI but works with any subvolume layout.

GDQuest always does nice videos for every major release: https://youtu.be/wHXJPaj6988

I tried it on a 6900 XT recently and generation time was well under half a second.

Results are not as good as with SDXL but for the time it needs it's very impressive.

Did you try time-loop games yet? Outer Wilds is fantastic. Majora's Mask, The Forgotten City and The Sexy Brutale are also pretty cool.

You could try booting KDE neon Unstable in a VM on the same machine. If you can still reproduce it I'm sure the KDE devs would appreciate a bug report.

Plasma 5 has been rock solid for me on real hardware.

I run CoreELEC/LibreELEC on all my streaming devices. It only runs Kodi but since Kodi has tons of addons it is fairly easy to customize. Kodi also plays pretty much any codec in existence and has support for various remotes.

If you're planning to play 4k content you will want something with a little bit more power than a Raspberry Pi 4. For Dolby Vision you need one of the few supported devices.

You can also run a obfs4 bridge, it's an unlisted relay that only serves as entry node. If greatly helps out users in censored countries.

Thanks, will keep this in mind when I test some games on the new Steam Deck.

Thanks for the detailed response, both DLCs are like 12 bucks now so I added them to cart. :)

I never tried disabling the overlay but allowing tearing does not do much. Should get my Steam Deck OLED this week so I can test there.

Are the DLC any good? I wanted to do more ripping and tearing but the ratings on Steam are pretty bad.

The kind of person that wants to play Elden Ring on the go but can't because the input lag is too damn high.
