I've used it a few times to squeeze a few more FPS from a few games. It's a handy way to easily switch from one method to another.

Quoting: XpanderWhy on earth is there so much empty space. Everything is squished into the middle. I have my monitor in landscape not portrait ffs.Not everyone displays one program at a time taking up the whole monitor. Some people have multiple programs side by side on their widescreen monitor.
well thats not steam only issue ofc. Every freaking site does that these days :(

Searching for "games for everyone" in AntennaPod doesn't return this. Searching for "linux for everyone" does, and the last episode is called "Games For Everyone #1: Valve's Third Act". Is "Games For Everyone" a separate podcast to "Linux For Everyone", which AntennaPod can't see, or is it just the name of a series of episodes in the Linux For Everyone podcast?

Just need vanilla maps and gametypes to be available. Every time I look to see what's on, the server list is full of weird stuff.

This would be a lot cooler if they would support RDNA3. It's annoying that I bought a 7900 XTX and I miss out on features that my card could handle, even when it is still the strongest AMD card on the market.Agreed.
all hail the fake frames?Frame generation is OK for slower moving games where input lag isn't critical.

Unfortunately, every time I come back to this, pretty much every server is running some weird mod that completely changes gameplay. I just want vanilla, like how I remember it :/

Both these replies involve the user doing extra work to figure out what's for sale:
1. Click next, click next, click next, click next…
2. Move mouse, read title; move mouse, read title; move mouse, read title…
I just want to load the page and see what's on offer:
* Resident Evil Foo
* Resident Evil Bar
* Monster Hunter This
* Capcom Whatever
Make it easy to see what's for sale = increase sales, because I sure can't be arsed to do some special action on twenty-one titles just to see what they are.

I wish shops would default to listing their wares as opposed to showing a picture of the game front sleeve. I can't make out a good number of stuff that's on sale because the name of the game in the picture is too obscure. Like here [External Link], the first game is called "VILLAGE"; there's one a couple of rows below that's just some scribbles; Mega Man is too small, and I've no idea what that Phoenix Wright game picture says.
Don't make me have to discover what you're trying to sell!

Quoting: VigilRequires SystemD, so this is a non-starter.Looks like an update removed that requirement, and it's working for me now :D A bit jittery, but that may be because I removed the IR filter in my webcam and made it a tad blurry in the process.
