I've been happy with the ergonomics of my F310, triggers and all, but the cable is a nuisance. The build quality isn't anything to write home about either. I'm on my second controller right now. I fixed the previous one multiple times, but this one started breaking apart in exactly the same way quite soon after purchase. The left thumbstick button (the one that triggers when you push down on the stick) is pretty much unusable already.

My next controller will probably be an F710 though. It's only about 15 € more than the F310 these days and I won't have to get used to a new layout. It comes with two AA batteries, but I've got AA rechargeables to replace them with. Battery life should be great according to reviews. The build quality should be better as well, but I guess I'll find out.

It does look brilliant. I'm looking forward to your review after it leaves early access.

Quoting: scaineLong story short - start showing Wayland performance benchmarks where it significantly (or hell, even marginally) outperforms Xorg and people will actually care. Keep bashing on about "better security" or "direct access to compositor without the need for client/server architecture" and no one ever will.
[rant over]

You don't care about the underlying tech as long as it doesn't show up in benchmarks? That's a weird attitude to have on a Linux gaming site.

All kidding aside, the adoption has been slow on the desktop, and most of the focus has understandably been on mobile and in-vehicle systems, because that's where the benefits are more obvious. Sailfish is smooth as butter on my old Jolla, running on Wayland of course.

Quoting: DorritOh no, female characters where they never existed, again.
Why not an ebony Greta Thunberg as Joan of Arc? Yeah, lets rewrite History completely, facts are for racists.

What part of "alternative WW2 setting" didn't you understand? Or are you simply not a fan of fiction?

Quoting: GuestAt this point I'm kinda wishing Valve made a generation 2 of Steam Controller with modular plug-n-play component "sockets" so you could swap out the right track pad with an analog stick or the left track-pad with a proper D-pad.

Wasn't a customizable, modular design in the plans originally? I remember reading about that before the original Steam Controller launch.

Quoting: oldrocker99I'm hooked. There are packages in the AUR long ago abandoned by Canonical, and programs I love, like exfalso and pypar2.

I don't know about pypar2 (seems abandoned by the developer as well) but I've been using Quod Libet and Ex Falso on Mint for years and I don't see why you'd think they're abandoned. If you mean Canonical doesn't provide the latest versions for their LTS distros, you can just download and run Ex Falso directly from the tar.gz packages on the Quod Libet github releases page [External Link]. For dependencies, python3-mutagen and python3-feedparser should be all you need to install, but you can find the full list of dependencies here [External Link].

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyIt's not The GIMP

I'd say it's definitely more usable than the GIMP for free-form art using a tablet or a pen display, but the GIMP still serves you better for generic image manipulation.

elements from different time periods, so you're dealing with both magic and machine here

I'm no historian so please educate me Liam: Magic was an element of which time period exactly? :P

Tired/ill and apparently not able to write properly. Have removed that entire bit.

That was supposed to be just a friendly little jab, but I guess I chose the wrong smiley or something. :(

Feel better. If it's the flu, I suggest self-medication. A steaming cup of cocoa with a generous splash of spiced rum should do the trick.

Looks very pretty. I wonder how the simultaneous turn-based mechanic works in practice.

Realising that the devs are Finns made me wonder if the (rather silly) name is a homage to the Iron Sky franchise or maybe a tongue-in-cheek literal translation of Rautavaara (a Finnish surname and a village in eastern Finland).

Quoting: XpanderJust tested the Discord Rich Presence option. I dont use Lutris usually, but Discord sometimes shows like im playing wine64-preloader or similar and i was hoping that thisone is fixing that and showing the actual game name finally in discord ...but it seems it shows as Lutris and then a game name when i click on the name as a info.

I wonder if its possible to change that?

It's open source, of course it's possible. Based on a quick glance, I'd say the python code seems clean enough, and this should be a simple change if the project owners agree. (I don't see why they wouldn't.)

An issue at their github [External Link] would probably go a long way.
