  • May be a group of bugs, I'm still struggling with it on my 6700 XT.

  • Got excited thinking they had finally fixed the rendering bug that causes the UI to slow to a crawl on desktop GPUs on Linux, but no.

  • What a coincidence, I was just at a Megalopolis watch party last night haha. There were like two dozen of us hatewatching it. True kino.

  • God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won't give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. "This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad" instead of understanding that maybe there's a reason it's built that way.

  • I always like to say the fruits of FOSS labour are the common heritage of mankind. It belongs to all of us as a public good, created and maintained by selfless workers. (Nevermind the fact that most FOSS projects are based out of Europe anyways).

  • My shortlist is probably WipEout Pulse (I love how that entire series feels like a game made out of electronic music, the same way Doom is made out of metal), WipEout 2048 (for the same reason, but I played it even more), Forza Motorsport 2 (cuz it had a huge influence on my taste at a very young age), and then maybe Gran Turismo 5?

  • I really haven't understood the reactions I've seen to the game. To me it's a really tight, interwoven, streamlined action-RPG that checks so many boxes for me that other games haven't tried to touch for years. 9/10 from me personally. It's been wild seeing the incredibly lukewarm reaction everywhere else.

  • I'm in love with it, it feels like it was made just for me. Like a combo of Skyrim and Fable II. Not everyone feels the same though.

  • I'm jealous, that sounds like a very nice unit. Unfortunately it's hard for me to trust used portable machines like that one if I can't verify they work beforehand. I'm sure it sounds much better than the newer units though.

  • I did this with a Pi Zero once. It's a fun project if you have the aptitude for it.

  • Yeah this isn't a bad idea. Especially if you get one that supports MP3 files on a CD, you can have several hours of material on one CD-R.

    I wrote a little blog post about my experiences trying a variety of different alternatives to just streaming music like most people do. Using players that support physical formats has been a very fun way to expand my music taste in unexpected ways.

  • Womp womp.

    As a sidenote, I'm very impressed by how much Avowed is reminding me of some of my favourite memories playing Fable I and II back in the day. It feels like the same sort of action RPG, with the blending of swords, bows/guns, and magic. Certainly an unexpected treat, given the more obvious Skyrim comparisons that game has been getting.

  • I think it's very interesting to note that mainstream consoles like the Switch or PS5 have massive ad campaigns behind them, expensive television spots, and a constant churn of new exclusives that they're using to keep themselves in the conversation. The Steam Deck certainly had an ad campaign, but it feels impressive to me that they managed to make those numbers happen mostly just through throwing up an announcement on the Steam front page and then having it review well once it found its way into critics' hands.

  • I think they're fantastic. Ghosts is probably my favourite song from them.

  • I'm genuinely kinda obsessed with it right now. Feel like they made a special one just for me. A perfect mix of my two childhood RPG favourites: Skyrim and Fable II.

  • You don't need a study to tell you that, GothamChess makes tons of content off of ChatGPT playing chess and outright spawning rooks over and over

  • They're desperate to manufacture consent against their competition
