Quoting: XpanderIs this still even needed? The cpu governors used to be an issue like 6-7 years ago, but these days amd has amd_pstate and intel has its intel_pstate which are boosting correctly on the default governor so i dont really know whats the point of this.It probably doesn't make a difference with my CPU, but it does things like keep my monitor from going to sleep while I'm using a controller.
I haven't noticed any difference when benchmarking stuff with this on or off at least.

Companies cut cost and lay off employees. Meanwhile, people have less money and are less likely to spend it on an unproven game developed by a deliberately understaffed studio.
Just like most game releases in the past couple of years, the problem is with expectations. These capitalist corporations expect to continue making record profit even while average people struggle to pay rent and buy food.

Quoting: SalvatosAnd this is why I'm always a little dubious when companies ask for crowdsourced translations and don't even hire professional reviewers. It's hard enough to ascertain you're getting quality work from professionals in a language you can't even read, but there's really nothing stopping random schmoes from pulling stunts like these if you don't even check.It reminds me of that time a guy was supposed to be a sign language interpreter but was actually just doing a bunch of random hand motions. It can happen whether you crowd source or not.

I really miss the days when you could just connect to a friend's computer and have some peer-to-peer online gaming or host your own server. I wish more games kept that functionality alive.
Baldur's Gate 3 is going to get some big updates

Quoting: starpolloI'm loving the game so far, I'm about 40 hours in.. but the constant crashes are getting unbearable :/Are you using the Vulkan option? I was getting a few crashes (not so often) when using Vulkan. Switching to DX11 stopped it from crashing completely for me. From what I've read, that's a problem on Windows too as their Vulkan implementation is incomplete and buggy.
I haven't seen anyone else on Linux mention these kind of frequent crashes, if anyone has any advice for me I'd very much appreciate it ^^'

Isn't this one case where the Steam Deck's built-in FSR might do a better job?

It was just a matter of time before someone put RGB on a Steam Deck. It's like the law of PC gaming.
If object exists Then
Create RGB
Else die
Skullgirls got review-bombed on Steam after some art changes

The reality is that people who are actually upset enough about this to actually review bomb are likely white supremacists themselves, even if they're too cowardly to admit it.
Also, it's telling that they'd get upset over the removal of sexual exploitation of young characters. It's not like they removed all sexy outfits or anything, only predatory depictions of young characters. Why would that bother someone unless they get off on exploiting young girls?
Lastly, there really is no justification for hating the removal of racist imagery unless you're racist yourself. People these days are really good at telling on themselves.

This is a game I'm definitely not going to play on the Steam Deck. I'll likely play it on my TV. While I'm glad Linux creators are making Steam Deck content, it would be nice if someone was still running tests and doing benchmarks on desktop Linux for games like this.
