DX12 games suffer a pretty hefty performance penalty on NVIDIA videocards. It's getting better with the new drivers and recent fixes in Proton, but for now if you own NVIDIA - it's usually on par or below Windows performance, for the more recent games. Still acceptable in my case tho

I'm still in my first timeline, but I have already

  • built a Torment Nexus
  • rescued some cats and dogs, keeping one as a pet
  • built a liquid metal flying wyrm which seems to inspire a new religion around it
  • accidentally built a building that kidnaps people and cans them for food
  • accidentally gifted consciousness to 5 raccoons

Can highly recommend

Does it get to occupy it for pouring their money into finally making gaming on Linux viable?

I hate Denuvo as much as the next guy but it's literally Steam Deck Verified

Yeah, I simplified it to keep it at ELI5 level, but you're right

It does so at the cost of latency. It does not actually predict the next frame, it renders two full frames and then interpolates one frame between them. So it looks smoother but your input also takes that much longer to be displayed on the screen

The games are great, if only he could, like, not open his mouth...

There's ntfs3 and ntfs-3g, both have their own problems. I wonder if the new one will make it possible to run fsck scans

I'm playing Archolos, which is a free fan-made game on the Gothic 2 engine (you still need to own Gothic 2 tho). It's like 60 hours long and I'm only 12 hours in and just got into the city. The quality is pretty incredible for a fan-made game, I think I'll be playing through it for the next 2 months at the very least

One of my cherished memories is when a friend of mine came over, smoked a blunt, watched the first 15 minutes of me playing Inside and then promptly fell asleep, after which I proceeded to spend the next 3-4 hours beating the game to completion in one sitting with his snoring in the background.
