Yuzu just makes me think of the delicious candy.

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelija
Quoting: Linux_RocksI think that screen flicker bug that got fixed was the same one that I was seeing in GZDoom while in the Doom menu. I was wondering WTF was up, cause I hadn't seen it like that before. lol

Yes, I play Doom and Chex Quest on a 4090. 👀
Perfectly good game choices, I am more curious about the heavy investment of a 4090, and yet running it on Linux.
So far great actually. Only issue was needing to set "prefer high performance" and very high image quality in the Nvidia control panel. As the defaults are stupid, and held back the card.

Quake II RTX runs amazing natively. So does everything else that I throw at it in Linux. I multi-boot, so I don't really use Proton all that much. But everything in Linux has been fine outside of this screen flicker thing. At least the menus are still useable, and it does go away in game. Quake II RTX is locked at 144Hz at 4K max settings, and playing GZDoom games at a locked 4K 144Hz is really fast and awesome. lol

World of Goo 2 launches in May on the Epic Store - but Linux support from their website

I'll probably get it from Steam later on to go with my copy of the first game, I think.

I've seen it were the Linux native game was only on Itch.io and not Steam. Which is annoying to me, cause Steam supports Linux. But at least there's an Itch.io launcher or whatever. I wonder if they could add ZOOM Platform to Heroic along with Itch.io. 🤔

Palworld is getting external anti-cheat but it will be mostly optional

I'd beat the living shit outta the bastard if a kid did anything to my stuff. As it is I make my friends wash their hands before playing my stuff, and I flat out tell them that I don't know where they've been. lol

I don't have children and don't want them. Both cause of how I was a little shit as a kid, and also cause I don't want to condemn a child to this dystopian hellscape.

I don't even like my Dad and I still apologized to him for wrecking some of his stuff as a kid. XD
