You’re right, kinda threw out that comment before leaving the the house.

edit: My brain somehow completely glossed over Steam Frame not Steam Machine. I haven’t actually thought about VR in years. my bad.

You basically just got a bigger more expensive Steam Link at that point. Which the original one should still work?

Just note unlike the other souls game enemies in 2 can permanently despawn after killing them multiple times.

The workaround is you can join the Company of Champions back in Majula, It’s the Alter up a hill to the right of the path that takes you to Heide’s Tower. It’s make enemies always respawn at the cost of them doing 50% more damage. Luckily the hand creatures are weak to fire and the puddles of oil they hide in can be lit up using fire arrows or bombs.

Started playing Split/Second on the PSP after I couldn’t get the main PC version to work fully with my controller.

Also Typing of the Dead Overkill since I just got a new keyboard it seemed like the perfect time to play it.

Mobile games usually aren’t controllable with a keyboard and mouse. Being able to run them doesn’t do much good if you can’t control them.

Most Android emulators allow you to bind keys to click or drag on certain regions of the screen.

I tried a few mobile exclusive FPS games through an emulators many years ago and I managed to get the controls feeling pretty close to playing a native PC game.

If it’s a pure Linux phone then apps would be installed through the command line and could be easily auto updated via a script.

So if you don’t install a terminal emulator on the phone itself and only access the command line through something like SSH. You wouldn’t have to worry about an app store at all ideally?

Depends if Valve also require disclosure if “frame-generation” was used in the benchmark.

Very easy to claim a game runs at 4K 60fps when it’s actually 720p 30fps with blurry up-scaled frames in-between.

I stopped being a fan of Mutahar a while back…but am I really the only person who noted the uploaded date?

I’ve been fucking around with Artix in a VM trying both Runit and S6.

Having never successfully installed Arch manually before, it was easier than I thought to get a desktop up and running…getting Pipewire to work on the other hand…still working on it. >.>

Honestly think the official installation guide needs some updating. I had to go off and find other community written guides to get certain things working. And small issues like the linux-firmware package downloading Nvidia drivers on my full AMD system.

I’m still dedicated to switching from Endeavour even though that distro has been very good to me. Their official statement on the matter didn’t inspire confidence, more just shifted the blame to FOSS as a whole. No words on plans to protect users or fork/switch away from mainline SystemD when push comes to shove.

It fixed the lag spikes I experienced playing some of the older Call of Duty titles so it’s overall been a huge upgrade for me.

As a newer Linux user I didn’t really give a shit about SystemD until recent news and just learning Poettering’s whole attitude towards Linux in general.

Was going to wait for EndeavourOS to give a statement on age verification, but if it’s going to be implemented as deep as the init system anyway. I should just try Artix so I don’t have the worry at all.

It’s interesting to look at mobile games nowadays realizing that smartphones have been more powerful than 7th gen consoles for more than a decade now.

Great…

So how’s Heroic for playing older PC games installed from discs?

I would say I would never spend that much, but then I remember my £1000 Desktop I mainly use for playing old games…

No clue, Think it’s one of those ‘Worked well enough in the past’ things they just never bothered to re-work.

I personally wish they would update it to be more globally accurate but it’s Valve so.

It’s due to how Valve conducts these surveys. Rather than pulling from the entire user pool at once, they rotate between different chunks of the userbase every month.

You’ll notice this if you look at the system language stats, The Chinese speaking population jumps and falls by a rather large percent every month.

This also could explain why Windows 10 had another jump in users this month, From what I hear internet cafes are still a popular way to game in China. and I doubt many of these places have updated all their machines to Windows 11 yet.

Barely counts as retro but I have a friend who’s had the in-game ringtone from Saints Row the Third as their real life ringtone for over a decade now.

Always funny when someone new hears it for the first time and asks about it.

I heard way back when that overclocking mice wasn’t too unheard of around some competitive Quake players. But this was when mice were still mainly using 100 to 250hz polling rate.

Think most big brand mice and certainly any half decent gaming mouse will be 1000hz nowadays. But people will always want bigger and faster which you see now with some 4000/8000hz peripherals popping up.
