I mean, it's ugly as sin, so if I bought one I'd have to buy a proper case as well...

...but I so want a Sys76 with an AMD GPU.

Game streaming will never be worthwhile, the video compression just ruins everything.

Announcement: we're releasing an open source PC!

Clarification: well it's technically not completely open source...

...Gee, who could've seen that one coming? Almost like that has happened before.

So chances of MS actually buying Obsidian are like... what, ~3%?

All I want is to have the immersive docking mechanics from X2 again, I really missed those in X3. All the other stuff doesn't matter too much for me, I'll just do delivery runs until I can afford my own freighter. I just love piloting a huge ship and letting the computer deal with shooting down any pirates I run across.

Quoting: lqe5433Wine is only working with X.org, and X.org will be replaced with Wayland really soon, so I don't see the point of this. Games should use SDL2 on Linux, or Wine needs to use Wayland.

Wayland is the main reason I keep a close eye on native releases. As soon as sway reaches 1.0-beta I'm switching full time.

I've got 3 controllers I switch between depending on the game:
A) My Steam controller, which is my absolute favourite as the haptic touchpad is so much more accurate than a normal analog stick. Being able to use a modifier to repurpose the left touchpad to a number dial is massively handy as well.
B) My PS3 controller which works very well with xboxdrv for certain games (Dark Souls) that have don't pick up SC and have problems with my third controller.
C) My Gioteck VX2, basically a knock-off PS1 dualshock controller with turbo feature, which I pretty much only use in RetroArch.

I don't think I could use an Xbox controller as my hands are pretty symmetrical, one of those asymmetric controllers seems like it would be alien to use.

Yeah, the CoC literally says maintainers can, quote, 'ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.' As well as: 'Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.'

I can see how some people might disagree with a text that basically gives maintainers carte blanche to ban whomever they want at any time.

Quoting: jardonAm I the only one that hasnt gotten a controller to work in any proton game? In general my controller(s) working is hit or miss. I've tried 360 controllers, PS4, and Steam controllers. They are always recognized and working in steam but only a couple of games work with them. I dont really know what to do as I seem to be the outlier here.

I had difficulties getting a controller to work properly with DSPtDE, but using a PS3 controller with xboxdrv worked. If you've tried xboxdrv and it didn't help I can't really help you. Maybe antimicro can help, although it will be janky as all get out.
