A popular streamer Lirik revisited the game 4 months ago and it was completely chocked-to-the-brim with bugs. Like literally every few minutes there was a bug, including several immediately when he began the game.

Gambling for JPEGs on a screen that cannot be resold and will be taken from you at a moments notice. This is a billion-dollar industry btw. God people are stupid.

Ever hear of “Chase Two Rabbits, Catch None”? Reminds me of George R. R. Martin talking about writing the last two ASOIAF books at the same time. Just… finish your fucking product please.

Games are the only software I purchase these days

Is there anything stopping something like connecting your credit card to GNOME Software Manager and then putting a big fat “donate” button next to the “install” button? I imagine there are legal considerations.

Games have actually gotten cheaper over time adjusted for inflation even as production costs have risen, it’s crazy. A NES game in today’s money would be around $160.

This is just CS:GO finally evolving from the CoD brown-tinged visuals of 2007-2013

All you do is update your current system, change your repo sources to whatever branch you want, then do a full-upgrade. For branches there is stable, testing, and unstable (called sid). They don’t recommend you use sid for everyday use, things can be buggy (currently sid is on GNOME 44 at any rate). Instructions

Counter Strike has been the same game for 23 years, basically every new game is an “update”. Porting the game to Source 2 is the single biggest thing that has happened to Counter Strike since 2004 when they moved from GoldSrc, so might as well brand it as a new game.

Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn’t even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn’t let you know beforehand.

Obviously that’s a stigma Capcom is trying to break through. Most phones/tablets these days are even more powerful than a Switch, yet people pay $60 for games on the Switch but not on phones?

…why would it cost less? It’s $60 everywhere else.

I’ve tried upscaling with ESRGAN as well and it has similar problems. It messes with the original textures too much. For example, it made carpet look like a solid surface. Skin looks too smooth and shiny. That kind of thing.

I hate how AI upscaling looks and I really don’t get why everyone seems to be gaga over it. In addition to the artifacts and other weirdness it can introduce, it just looks generally like someone smeared vaseline over the picture to me.

going into a menu on windows to change some settings once is a bridge too fucking far

“Once”. Yeah right.

I’ve had a lot of issues with archinstall in the past as well, doesn’t surprise me that it wouldn’t set your network clock correctly

How would the game give you any more information than it already does without worsening gameplay? Like sure, you can make the boss’ moves slower and more telegraphed. Put in Atreus to tell you the Boss’ weakness or something while you fight him. I’m personally not a fan of that.

If you want to play the game as a glass cannon DPS machine, you can do that with the right parts. But there’s nothing stopping you from actually reading boss patterns and dodging them. The only boss this doesn’t apply to is the first one, and I suspect it will get nerfed because of how many people are complaining about it. Some damage is unavoidable but it’s minor, every big attack is dodgable and even accompanied by a loud warning sound. I don’t think it’s unfair.

If anybody is so clueless about Linux that they need to take a quiz like this, they should probably just use something easy like Mint or Ubuntu.

Flatpak doesn’t run the latest stuff typically. Like I’m on Mesa 23.1.4 on Flatpak and 23.1.6 on Fedora. Probably newer than what Ubuntu has though.
