Quoting: AussieEeveeyou realize both Xorg and PA were "the future" at some point right :tongue:Quoting: Liam DaweThat's what calling it the future means. It means that "This will be the standard going forward".Quoting: AussieEeveeHonestly, I am not a fan of when people say something is "the future". Especially in the Linux space, where choice is key.No one is taking choice away, I really don't get why you would even remotely think that. Use whatever you want.
Personally, I will keep using Xorg and Pulseaudio.

had never heard about pipewire, thanks for this I'm going to try it.
EDIT: was unbelievably simple to switch on Arch; there's an Arch wiki page for it (ofc). I seem to have the same bug as Liam in Helvum, where some outputs are obscured in the graph
EDIT2: nevermind I switched back to PA. PW giving me popping noises when starting/stopping audio, despite both the hardware parameters set to disable powersaving and disabling the pipewire suspend modules in their config... maybe I'll try PW with my next computer.

I love watching the brothers' developer videos, they both just seem like such laid back and chill guys.

the game is really good actually, like many of you I had it sitting in my backlog for quite a while before trying it. Fair warning it's brutally difficult (at least for the first few hours, which is as far in as I am). That or I made some poor character class choices:neutral:

this does seem like a good deal, but these days I find it hard to read anything past "humble bundle"

Water still wet, bachelors still single, and GOG still totally indifferent to us.

Quoting: Breizhquoting this because it's too good to only see twice in this thread. Agree with the general sentiment of most of y'all above me.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPAfter my Thrustmaster stick broke, I tried to play the game once with mouse & keyboard, but... it's just not the same. Kinda works, but you really miss all those buttons on/around the stick.kind of amazing how many problems HOTAS systems have relative to how expensive they are.. I had a Saitek x52 for Elite Dangerous and it had countless problems with not a ton of use.
And it wasn't even a cheap one - still broke after not even two years and no usage outside of X4.
Now I'm extremely hesitant to buy a new one as it would still be pretty much the only game (well, that and Elite: Dangerous) I'd use it with.
