I've got 90% play time on Linux, 7% on Steamdeck, and 4% on windows from testing my friends graphics cards for defects and some ACE anti-cheat games my friends wanted to tryout. Wish Steam would tell me how may hours I played for each game so I could compare to my PlayStation numbers. For PC I have Smite 2 a 34%, Monster Hunter Wilds at 19% (158 hours on steam, 128hr in save file), 6% Deadlock, 4% Borderlands, 3% Marvel Rivals. My Steamdeck numbers are skewed since I only really used it 2 weeks this years for real the rest is just me seeing how things worked on it not playing so I'll just put the only 2 games i played for real on it Baldur's Gate 3 about 80% and Terminull about 20%. And for PlayStation I had Stellar blade at 66% with 142 hours, Clair Obscur at 33% with 72 hours, Final Fantasy VII Remake 1% 2.5 hours I didn't include the games I effectively used as Screen savers.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: doragasuAnother verified game that shouldn't...

Have you tested it with this update?

I loaded my friends copy from family share visuals are muddy by default but now seem to have lumen lighting enable unlike before so the game looks how it should. You can change the upscale used to choose your preferred look. Still stuck at 30 fps that's weird since it says not locked at 30 anymore in patch notes. Maybe because I have Bazzite on my deck? Maybe later enemies drop fps more my PC save is only after you meet up with lune.

I finished Clair Obscur last week I really enjoyed the entire game. I did accidentally over level for ACT 3 and defeated the final boss before they had a turn. I tried going though the end game content but it takes so much focus and I had been playing the game for a week straight I'm just tired and worn out so I've stopped for now.

While visiting my sister for thanksgiving I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 on my SteamDeck since the game had font scaling so I could play it on the TV. I really just want to be with Shadowheart I have no clue why I just want her. Playing as a Mage Elf and just talk my way though most things but sometimes I talk and I get roped in to something else.

Back to now 3 days ago I was talking with my friend and we started talking about tony hawk pro skater do to a video he saw I talked about how I wanted to replay American wasteland but don't since you could only play as a male in the story mode and while looking around we found reTHAWed and I have been playing it since. No female in story still but the modding is fun textures are just PNGs and 2 added classic mode campaigns that I'm going though. They also have a linux updater. I hope they can get a female protag in at some point, supposedly they have a VA for the role but they need to redo every cut scene do to model differences.

Had to set up a computer with Pop!_OS for a science center is October. They needed AR sandbox and system76 had instructions and everything setup for it but even tho the doc says Pop!_OS 22.04 or newer the software isn't in the 24.04 repo. I just when and installed 22.04 since the computer will be setup and never touched again.

Just wish I didn't have to research everything since they where the ones that wanted a to have a topography exhibit all they knew is they needed a computer and kinect. I Should say the only reason I was involved is because my aunt runs the place, so my dad was asked to get the computer since she knows nothing about computers. They original just asked for a computer with linux so we installed linux mint since they didn't specify and that's what my dad default to for people asking for linux. Then they said they couldn't figure out how to install the kinect drivers so they asked for windows. So I installed windows 11 with the kinect drivers (Fun fact the kinect driver doesn't with memory protection enabled). Then they wanted me to show everything working for them. I show up and nothing new has happened they did nothing and surprise the software needed doesn't exist on windows just one project a dad made for their kid that i couldn't get working. So I just took the computer back home and installed Pop!_OS now i just have to wait for them to finish the exhibit,

Uh sorry for the rant the whole thing just annoys me I'm just realizing this is similar to when my mom is asked for constantly changing goal from non programmers at her job.

Quoting: Cyril@Stella Is the reason, by any chance, is that they won't accept players modding their game? 2 DRM is indeed awful, first time I hear about Capcom Protector it seems.

You can still mod the game but adding DLC content will get you banned. I've modded the game in the past to buy any item so I could complete event armor sets, So I can have longer hair for my character and try the decompressed textures to improve frame times. Tho I don't get why decompressed textures are so unstable under linux one launch it no issue the next launch suddenly it thinks the texture is corrupt. That doesn't happen on Windows.

From my understanding they did make it harder to mod their games after a naked Chung Li mod was show live at a tournament.

I knew this was a thing of duplicating files for HDD as I remember that was one selling point not needing it or at least a talking point of the PS5 and Xbox Series Consoles but damn that's the biggest I've seen I just assumed in my head that it was all the different texture qualities since the PS5 version is 40gb at least that's what it says you need I don't own it on PS5 and also PC versions of games can be bigger since the consoles have custom decompression hardware. But damn that's a lot of duplication only cross gen games I own on my PS5 Pro for perspective Control PS5 version is 27gb PS4 is 39gb, Haven PS5 4gb PS4 6gb, Soul Hacker 2 PS5 16gb PS4 24gb, but 154gb to 23gb!!?!?!??!? and how is it smaller then the PS5 version unless the PlayStation store is wrong.

I wonder how many of these other games with massive file sizes have duplicate data

I know Final Fantasy XIII can be shrunk in about half there is English and Japanese Video Cut scenes so deleting the language you don't use saves about 30gb of space. The game was designed with the PS3 50gb bluray discs in mind is why the Xbox 360 version is 3 discs. I don't know any others with duplicate data you can remove. Also just checked my PS3 disc only english huh didn't notice that before so PC is 57gb with both and PS3 is 40gb with only english damn they compressed the videos.

I've been using this mouse and its predecessors since I was 14. Can't remember the name of the first one but the left click died so I went to a G pro same shape just new look and sensor so no need to calibrate it then I spilled orange fanta on it and the left and right click got stuck, then got another one this time updated with the hero sensor. That one some how the rubber on the scroll wheel expanded and locked up the wheel still used it like that since I was still using windows so I could just middle click to scroll. I was very mad when they announced a wireless version of the G pro and it has an entirely different shape then the wired version but a bit later they released the G305 and I got one for my laptop for college. I lost the mouse so I got another some how lost the receiver to that one so I just have a mouse and receiver I can't pair together in my drawer. I don't remember when I got the G305 I use on my computer I still use my G Pro wired as a spare mouse and I at some point cut the rubber on the scroll wheel so I could use it. If Logitech ever stops making this mouse shape I'm screwed.

I have tried a Razer DeathAdder before I got my first G pro wired and hated the ever living shit out of it that shape and you had to have their software running on the computer to get full resolution of the sensor if not it had the worst resolution ever you could see it jumping pixels on a 1080p screen. So that turned away from ever thinking of Razer mice.

I'm always skeptical of the Apex Legends claim because the player base was dropping at the same time during that time like some of it was people leaving.

I've been having to stop myself from playing more Stellar Blade I love the game too much and was playing it for like half the summer so I've been playing Clair Obscur and a bit of Final Fantasy VII Remake on my PS5 Pro. Over this year I've found out that I play my games more on my PS5 Pro, I think I just like to play games on my TV more then my Computer monitor.

On my computer I've been playing Borderlands 4 with my friends. I really like the movement in the game, but the game likes to not register bullet hits so you can wasted an entire magazine into someone and nothing happens, and some gun manufactures just feel awful now mainly Maliwan. I've been trying to get my friends to play Monster Hunter Wilds again since the Final Fantasy cross over is here and everyone wants to do it but they just keep pushing back when we play. Started playing Smite 2 with my one friend some more after like 1 month or 2 of not playing do to lack of god variety for me but Eset being added to the game makes me want to play again having something new since the last new/ported god I play came out 8 months ago.

Back to the PS5 Clair Obscur is really fun I love the combat every fight feels like you always have a shot no matter how hard it is as long as you can keep up. Tho that does make me play the game a bit less then I like because of how much I have to focus to win fights. The music is really good. My friend hates that (Story Spoiler)

Spoiler, click me

Gustave Died and is just like I don't care about this story anymore I want Gustave.

One fight took me 2 hours because I had to keep up perfect parries for 10 or more minutes for each attempt. According to PlayStation I'm about 57% done so still have a bit to go, looking forward to see what will happen. I've only played 2 hours of Final Fantasy VII Remake but I'm liking. It being an Unreal Engine 4 Game feel similar to Stellar Blade to me in terms of how the character looks makes the game feel familiar/safe to me. Don't really have anything else to say about it yet, just that I guess it show my addiction to Stellar Blade.

I just want to talk about Stellar Blade now. I don't exactly know why I'm so addicted to it. Its the first game I've done a new game+, I've almost 100% the game something I haven't done since I was like 12, I have over 150 Hours in it and I want to keep playing more even tho its pretty linear. I love all the characters, Eve gaining confidence though out the story, D1G-g2r is so cute love how he wants to find out why he has sentience. The Sound track is so good I would just sit and listen to it at camp or running around the desert and wastelands. The space elevator section has such a grand feel climbing all the way into space with the music backing up that feeling perfectly. Hyper tubes are really fun to surf down wish there were more of them. The Nikke DLC stages are really fun wish there was more then 5, makes me want to play Nikke just to get more like it but then I remember its a mobile game and don't want to deal with mobile game mechanics. Uh I wish I was good at writing I'm missing so much stuff but can't figure out how to write it down.
