With ETS and ATS I don't really mind paying for the map DLC. SCS have continued to actively update and improve the base games (which are damn cheap right now at $5 USD) and there are a lot of free mods to tweak most anything to the way you want it.
Has anyone else had issues with the anti-aliasing not doing much and straight lines appearing jagged?

Quoting: DuncAlso Assetto Corsa to unwind when I got cheesed off with E:DHow is your performance with AC? Did you get a wheel working with it?

I picked up a Raspberry Pi a few weeks ago and installed Pi Hole for network-wide (DNS based) ad blocking and setup Plex for my music and video library. There are so many other projects that I could be doing with it that I'm tempted to get another.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - It's not very good so far and performance is pretty meh. The puzzles are tedious and action seems to have dropped off drastically after the first 20 minutes. If you don't figure out the puzzles right away, Lara will repeat the same hint dialogue every few seconds til you get past it. SO damn annoying.
Carcassonne - I've been getting a few friends to play it through Steam's Remote Play Together. It's a solid adaptation of the board game.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Runs really well with proton and is a great game with maybe a few rough edges. Tried to do a no-kill run but accidentally blew up a bunch of people a couple hours in. Oh well.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - Beautiful game in a very grim kind of way. But I don't know if I'm cut out for how difficult it is. Slightly embarrassed to say that I can't get past the first mini boss. Runs fantastically well on proton.

They've made Idaho look much better than real life. The southern half of it is rather bleak to drive through.
What have you been playing lately? It's chat time

Hitman 2 - very replayable and weirdly runs much better than the native Hitman from 2016.
Yakuza 0 - some absurd fun with some wild swings in the tone. Though I'm terrible at the karaoke and dancing mini games, they still crack me up.
Far Cry 3 - deeply unlikable main character and his friends all seem shitty as well. But there's something about clearing parts of the map by capturing all of the outposts as stealthily as possible that is rewarding. Then the protagonist speaks and it makes me want to punch his bro face and I'm not at all a violent person.
Celeste - definitely on board with Celeste, but I'm stuck at a point that I can't get past and am getting frustrated.
CSGO - still playing this way more than I should. Recently enabled voice chat again and it's still the same racist, sexist, homophobic cesspool. It was a mistake.

Quoting: Liam DaweThat is a good idea... Turns out all I had to do was click "Forgot Password" and I was able to sign in and redo my multi-factor authentication.Quoting: brokeassbenI had multi-factor authentication enabled on my account, wiped the phone with the authenticator on it, and can't find my backup codes. So my itch.io account is now lost forever :(I imagine if you email them, with some kind of proof, they would be quite reasonable about it. You must have some emails somewhere from itch you can dig up to prove ownership.

Possibly not what you're looking for, but I trust this guy [External Link]'s opinions when it comes to audio and he has a fairly in-depth article and video on using the RP as a DAC. The article is written from audio nerd's perspective rather than a tech or linux enthusiast's.

Quoting: iskaputtDoes anyone use one of these things with a USB DAC? I have an Odroid C2 and audio via USB has been broken since forever. Tried about every distribution under the sun, but all produce some kind of noise or clicks in the audio output.There are a couple companies that make "hats" for the Pi (and possibly Odroid) like JustBoom or DigiOne for people who are into an "audiophile" level sound on their Pi.
My plan was to have a multimedia station with batteries included. Kodi, MPD, RetroArch and maybe some server applications like Mumble. I want to connect the audio to my old stereo.

Quoting: M@GOidThe price of this game is very high here in Brazil. How much it is in the US?Currently $22.49 on Steam with a 10% discount, but there's no price listed on Humble yet. Google says that equates to 122.34 in Brazilian real. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know that's what your currency is called.
