Loving the new performance monitor! I can see all my gpu stuff, temps, etc... I don't even need the other resource monitor pages running now at all!

My buddy and I played some more last night, and unfortunately I think I'm about ready to throw the towel in. I love the game so much, everything about it is done so well, but it does not love me back. It's punishingly difficult in a way that makes it not fun or enjoyable for me to play :sad:

I got stuck last night in two areas: 1) there's some HORRENDOUS red flowers that you must do diagonal jump slash platforming with precision to get past, and I wanted to throw my controller either into the sun or out the window or smash it into the ground and then throw it out the window into the sun. 2) there's a MINIBOSS, not even a regular boss, in some section where I was that killed me 50 times (I counted) and then I gave up and wanted to throw my controller out the window and into the sun.

yeah agree- what are the controller issues? I'm playing on linux in our living room htpc machine with a 8bitdo controller and haven't had any problems (that I know of?) ...?

anyway - I'm glad to see the difficulty reduction! I'm just so bad at these games, but love playing them, making it so I don't have to try every boss 100x times is a welcome change.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now with Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck support

Did a second play session with my friend last night: man alive the game is hard. I'm not good at fast action games and I know this, but we still love the genre, so ... here we are! I don't think we ever completed HK1 due to it being so hard, and this is like that but on steroids. Still having so much fun. We are playing it on a 4k oled tv and my god it's just so gorgeous. The audio is top notch as well. The bosses I am not liking very much, like at all, but I guess there's not so many of them, so just power through. Hornet is still so weak right now, she just feels SO fragile, and the bosses taking two hearts just for even the slightest mistake is brutality.

KDE officially release the first alpha of KDE Linux their new reference implementation OS

So what happens to KDE Neon? The site is still up and telling people to download it. Shouldn't they just totally take that down if there's really no support (because it's all going to this new "KDE Linux") ...?

also ... that name. So generic, and confusing. Every single distro out there can be a "kde linux" by just simply using kde on it.

I'm glad KDE has their own in-house distro, there's just so many questions.

I haven't played most of these, but I HAVE played The Ascent, and loved it (after a bunch of patches) - so I highly recommend it if anyones thinking about it!
