I hope they add online multiplayer. That's the only way I'd buy it. Looks like silly fun!

Here is a true story:
On Amazon, I asked if I could resell a Ubisoft game after I was done with it or if it required tying the game key to some account. An actual Ubisoft rep answered the question on Amazon and said I could resell the game. Guess what. I bought it. The person that buys the used game from me wouldn't have bought it new at full price. They get to play it sooner than waiting for a price drop. The harm for Ubisoft is they don't get a sale when the game's retail price drops enough a year or two later.

So, it goes like this: $60 from me at launch or $20 from me and the other guy ($40 total) two years later.

My PS4 would lose some value if I could start selling my Steam games. But yeah, I can imagine more and more games requiring "3rd-party EULA," which would mean assigning the game license to an account outside of Steam and logging in via a launcher in order to play. That would be really annoying. But I think consumers could fight against that with their dollars and reviews.

Cool. I will be looking out to see if certain white areas in games still get turned to black or not when using window capture mode. I've been having to capture the whole monitor lately, which I don't like.

Quoting: Vash63

Quoting: 14

Quoting: FaalhaasEven after that, some games did not detect my buttons, so I even reinstalled the OS. Now it's working with modprobe.

Reinstalled! :O Yikes!

I guess I haven't used my controller for over a month. I've been on systemd 243 for quite a while now.

Which OS distributed linux 5.3 already? Arch is pushing out 5.2.14 at the moment.

No idea if any OSes have distributed it to their core repos but I'm on Arch and I tested it a few hours after it released by compiling my own build.

Are you the Vash6318 from the Battlefield 1942 days that's on my Steam friends list? :huh: Fancy seeing you here!

I decided to see if I could log in without the workaround, and sure enough (like Caenth), I can! Yay.

A duos mode, you say? That might get me to try the game for once. I've been leery to learn a game that is changing so much. I also don't love (nor hate) 1v1 games.

Quoting: MrNilssonI never played a RPG game before. Maybe I should give it a try.

What! Oh my... if you end up liking them, you have such a wealth of great experiences to have!

This one looks pretty cool.

Quoting: lectrode

Quoting: 14I find myself annoyed finding things installed that I wish weren't. And I find the system updater program overwriting my mirrors list annoying

The mirrors list is updated as new mirrors are added and old mirrors go away, in addition to updating which servers provide the best connection (lowest latency). If you want to manually limit which servers it pulls from, I recommend setting specific countries with the following:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c my,countries,here
You can see what countries have mirrors with pacman-mirrors -l

Thanks for the pretty informative post. You cleared up the Nvidia "driver" piece. However, I have already performed the mirrorlist preferences. The problem is I don't seem to be able to type in my own mirror entry into the file. Manual touches get overwritten. Plus, and this might be outdated information, I think the update program (Octopi?) performs a pacman -Sy just to check for updates. If that is happening, it breaks the release consistency with the stuff you already have installed.

Quoting: eldaking...I absolutely don't want Linux software installation as a whole to depend on a single company and their closed service.

I completely agree with this!

Quoting: eldakingIt also promotes proprietary software and does a lot of things for the convenience of developers/maintainers at the cost of disadvantages for end-users, which is not exactly good.

Being nit-picky here, but the disadvantages to end-users I think you're talking about probably wouldn't be realized by them, only the superusers and nerds. The convenience and simplicity would only feel like an advantage to the layman I think.
