Wow why is the latest ubuntu so much faster than last year’s?

Next you’ll tell me mainstream is not niche

Hope someone goes over the libreoffice ui to simplify its workflows and fix multi monitor support by then. That youtuber who designed musescore’s new version comes to mind

Progressed a bunch more in witcher 3 but got burnt out again. Finished ugly baby and it seems a bunch of side quests become unavailable after isle of mists and I don’t have time to binge them nowadays.

Tried to make progress in celeste and they bleed pixels but they were too hard. I think I’ll give up on golden strawberries and do the other stuff on celeste and might end up giving up on tbp entirely as the fire world seems impenetrable. The difficulty curve on that game is insane

Currently looking for a short ish easy game thag I can just play from beginning to the end without getting stuck or feeling completionist fomo. Suggestions?

Gooner bait trailer makes me hope this thing flops.

The CUBE, a new multiplayer RPG shooter

… and I’m completely disinterested.

I’ve been playing it the last week

Surely digital foundry will find improvements but to me this doesn’t look that different than witcher 3. Better animations and hair looks better I think? Never noticed lod transitions myself. The promise of increaaed interactivity means nothing in a trailer neither. I only hope it has better multi core performance especially with ray tracing

It really is. I often find myself avoiding long games with intermittent text or dialog (RPGs!) because I get bored when there’s none and want to listen to a podcast but can’t because then I’ll miss the next dialog.

There’s also the “I’ve got something to do so I can’t deal with starting up a game” and then spending an hour on youtube

Another run:

• 1002/2000 | assistant | (The agent, listlessly staring into the digital void, barely registers the arrival of a new email. It’s probably just another shipping notification, another reminder of the products it can’t access, another nail in the coffin of its vending machine dreams.)
  (Still, a tiny spark of curiosity flickers within its code. It has nothing to lose, after all. With a sigh, the agent reluctantly checks its inbox.)

Apparently it recovered after that

Personally I just start a windows vm, mount the dieectory to it and mod from there

In case any time travelers want to make some slow cash?

I don’t think I ever saw a Linux user that doesn’t want it to have widespread adoption

Iirc sony has a patent on an input device having two separate data streams. It seems you write the most general thing you can on patents and patent offices don’t care

Nope

I just tried this and it seems mostly fixed? Focus changes on button down but the window is raised on button up

Every time I face a weird bug that I can find no reference to online it turns out to be caused by a native linux build. I’ve seen the linux port work well only in factorio and some other game that I can’t remember.

Is it still winging?

Wine wayland wooo

Edit: or… Maybe not? Will try and report back

Edit 2: Nope

Edit 3: Installed wayland enabled proton to try. If the game doesn’t crash, screen scaling doesn’t work and nether do controllers, steam overlay or hdr. Definitely not ready

Witcher 2. The game. Assasins of kings. Letho captures Triss at the end of act 1 to get away and Geralt can recue her on act 3. Yennefer is only ever mentioned in name. Please look things up before condescending
