Strong caution advised.

Only pick the games up if
You're planning on playing them on the steamdeck.
Or you're on rdna2 architecture for your gpu.

Most other gpus are completely hit and miss with rdna3 outright being unplayable due to crashing every 5 minutes for the original 1.5 and 2.5 trilogy.

2.8 and 3 will function just fine but I should atleast give a heads up before money is spent.

There is currently posts on the steam discussion page compiled and updated every day for the past month with radio silence from square Enix.

Wouldn't you just use steam family sharing and pass it down that way.
They can't login to the account but most of your library is still kind of passed on ?

Quoting: Pyrate

Quoting: spacemonkeyWould you say that Ubuntu is the best OS if you just want things to work and not tinker, especially for gaming?

I hear Bazzite/Nobara are currently some of the best Just Works(tm), no tinkering distro's out there.

I can second nobara, I've rarely had any issues crop up and when I do there is usually a solution in their discord, on the website in the bug tracker.

I've been running that for around 18 months now, and I especially picked it because I honestly just wanted to boot and play my games and do it things rather than the "arch" experience.

Quoting: Talon1024There is already clear-cut solid evidence of plaigiarism [External Link] on the part of Pocketpair.

But since they made so much money from Palworld, one would hope they would use it to hire on a few more artists so that the Pokemon ripoff designs can be replaced with less infringing designs and models.

Those examples are pretty conclusive. It's the 3D modeling equivalent of copying a paragraph, changing a few words, and then passing it off as your own work. I suspect, at the very least, the Pal World developers will be forced to remove those critters from the game.

dude providing the evidence rescaled the models to fit.
Reason for doing it was he dislike animal abuse :)

So I can make what is effectively a carbon copy of another 3D modeler's work and call it my own as long as I scale my model up or down? That doesn't sound right, but perhaps I've misunderstood what you mean by "rescaled".

I just briefly went over it but as I understood it, was it not simply global size resize but but individual y and x axis proportions to align with the model
But that's just how I understood otherwise I can't see why he would apologise for modification.

Quoting: NyxWho needs to remap macros and buttons for their mmo peripherals right?
It's much better needing win11 installed on the second disk for when you need to change settings.

(This isn't an attack at the devz they are doing a swell job)
But God does razer leave some support to be desired.

I don't know why I get hopeful every time I see these apps updated that just maybe there might be actual functionality but nope I'm still stuck needing a Windows laptop near me or dual boot my system if I want to change my mouse settings, I do have all the rgb options in the world though.

Sorry for strong sarcasm but even ratbag/piper doesn't support razer because they apparently have that functionality locked off or something.

I've mentioned it in another post and the project has been mentioned here on GoL, even once after its name change. This project allows you to re-program just about any input button on any device to mimic any key/key combinations you can type on a keyboard. I use it for my gameboards like the Razer Orbweaver and Tartarus, and it works fine for my Belkin Nostromo n52. I am currently using a Delux T9 just so I don't wear out my beloved Orbweaver, but you can use it for standard keyboards and input peripherals of just about any kind.

As mentioned, go over to the right side and click "latest" under Releases, and install using the .deb file if you are on an xbuntu distro.

Enjoy!

Thanks I already found this solution a while back and have been using it for a while, and have recommended it to others as well, but I would still like to see the ability to remap the native input on the device.
(This is a rather hacky solution to something razer could provide a fix if they gave even an inch)

Although I haven't used it since swapping to wayland so I haven't confirmed it actually works there.

I rarely remap my mouse on Linux but that's kind of a habit I got from learning how big a pain it was initially so I just made some presets on Windows I saved to my mouse I flex in between, and only in the rare occasions those profiles don't work do I remember input remapper exists once again.

Installed it the other day but pressing apply didn't seem to do much and as I was mid raid, I opted to just connect it to my laptop and remap it with razer software.

That said thanks for trying to provide a solution I appreciate it but I was very much just having a rant about open razer is a glorified rgb controller because razer won't allow access to anything meaningful

And I'm unfortunately not part of the debian master race, I'm a measly fedora peasant running nobara ^_^

But most things have usable rpms and I think the app might even be in nobara package manager or I used an rpm can't remember ^_^

Yay I can now once again change
Rgb settings on my razer devices.

It's truly useful to only have to swap into my desktop for peripheral functionality instead of also having to do it for rgb which I totally haven't left as standard since getting the devices.

Currently Apex Legends is Steam Deck Verified.

Why?

If you ask me should users be able to report current status of current patch and games should be able to loose verification and have to re earn it if they break compatibility.

It should be able to drop from green to yellow or even not supported and once they fix it can they re-earn their status.

Quoting: WorMzyI'm still bitter about the Giana Sisters debacle. Fuck Humble.

The original giana sisters was the very first video game I ever played introduced by my uncle, what kind of debacle did humble have with (assuming the remake by Blackforest)?

Wasn't this in relation to Lost Ark, which was blocked in countries that had outlawed lootboxes, as they wanted their MTX sales?

so is the takeaway from this that companies are obligated to make a seperate version for those regions with blocked features, or are they not allowed to release in Europe at all if certain countries within have laws that conflict ?

Not that I would ever support toxic MTX practises, but I'm trying to grasp the legal implications of this if just not releasing in regions that doesn't allow your content isn't a viable solution.
