Quoting: Tuxee

Quoting: dubigrasuMan, I remember playing this extensively back in the day, it was probably my first foray in multiplayer games.
I thought it was so cool to play with other real people, not npc/whatever.
That until I enabled the chat and read it. I never played it again.

Really? What? I mean War Thunder is super-tame. Really. I've played Heroes of Newerth. Once. That was pure constant verbal abuse. But War Thunder? Come on, some frustrated dude might call you an idiot (this dude could be me), but that's about how far it goes. Since the invasion of Ukraine they've disabled the chat entirely, but even before that everything was pretty civilized. The most severe incident was some guy spouting antisemitism. Got reported (and probably banned).

Not sure why not one, but two people are busily telling dubigrasu how they're supposed to feel about things. If they're not enjoying it, they're not enjoying it--you can't force them to.

Metal Slug 3

So is this about some superhero gastropod?

Quoting: JahimselfOn the screenshot, if you watch it full picture, and look the first face on the foreground, you can better compare native to other FSR. You can observe how it alterate the overall image.

I prefer having real resolution upscale, even for a performance loss, than having performance increase for graphic quality loss. There are enough graphical setting in most game that allow you to balance your fps. And in other scenario when you have too much perf, you rather have resolution upscale for real graphic improvement (imo)

I dunno, except maybe for movie-style cutscenes, graphical detail levels in games passed the point where I don't care any more years ago. So for me, as long as it doesn't degrade back down to pixel-art levels, more speed for a bit less detail is something for nothing.

Quoting: user1On Proton/DXVK it runs beautifully. I have an RX 580 and I actually get higher fps on Proton/DXVK than on Windows/DX11.

I've seen a few people saying stuff like this lately about a few games. How does this even happen? What happened to the inevitable overhead of a translation layer?

Quoting: TheRiddickCan I force my office workers to pee into a bottle as a method of reducing break times? That is the ultimate goal. Plus when it comes to pay raises I would like the nominees to fight to the death in a arena cage....

Don't give Amazon any ideas . . .

Quoting: LinasThe architecture of Chrome OS is really overcomplicated. They insist on running everything in those "containers", which are actually more like a full blown VM's, because not even the kernel is shared with the host. That is why everything is in constant alpha, and takes forever to integrate into the system. Just seems so counter-productive to me.

All for the purpose of deliberately crippling the OS so nobody can do anything much except run the browser. It's not bad to use . . . until you want to do something exotic, like save a word processing document to your thumb drive.

It occurs to me that if the nearly-endless-copyright regime had taken hold a bit sooner, this and all the other Alice variations would be illegal.

Quoting: GuestAlso, and absolutely not rhetoric, but really, REALLY out of curiosity:
Why someone on earth could have an interest in opening the whole steam to start obs!?

Presumably the people likely to do this would be people who are opening Steam anyway to play games?

If it were true, then i'd expect fro those people to add every program they use as a non steam application to their steam library.

So you mean, like, they'd add things they do while not playing games to their game-library software because that's exactly the same as adding things they do while playing games to their game-library software?

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAh yes, Discover Overlay, which you install using Discover, which you can also use to install Dolphin emulator, not to be confused with Dolphin file manager.

Or the Lost Dolphin of France.

Spoiler, click me

(Sure, the French spell it "dauphin"--but we know it's dolphin. Cetaceans are a big royal thing, look at the Prince of Whales)
