METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 is quite broken on Steam Deck / Linux
25 Oct 2023 at 7:56 am UTC Likes: 2

Quoting: PenglingBut then there's stuff like this that's presumably been done in-house, and which apparently has issues on all platforms*, and it just isn't acceptable. And then they do basically zero marketing for anything, as well, which is a whole other problem that doesn't help any of it.
From that link, these are the bugs planned to fix:

 
- the bonus content for the Metal Gear and Snake’s Revenge has issues with the subtitles
- a CRT scanline filter and the ability to change the pixel aspect ratio will be added later
- the MSX2 versions of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 will get an option to switch between windowed and full-screen mode from the options menu
- MGS 2 has significant slowdown in certain cutscenes
- MGS 2 has a slight delay to the timing for a certain visual effect
- in MGS 2, switching between windowed and fullscreen mode from the options menu on the title screen is planned
- MGS 3 has typos in the subtitles for the original England, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain (EFIGS) EU versions
- in MGS 3, timing for a scene and background music to trigger in a certain cutscene is slightly different from the original
- the ability to switch between windowed and full-screen mode is planned


If Valve can release Proton fixes to make it work, perhaps in the end, with a sale, we can enjoy the games.

Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive to split
17 Oct 2023 at 6:46 pm UTC Likes: 1

I wonder if Paradox sees the looming recession very threatening after The Lamplighters debacle and will try to focus on their original strengths and niche genres.

At the same time, I don't think the game had enough publicity, and potential Paradox costumers aren't the same. A shame, nonetheless, I liked the idea of the game and was hoping to be rather decent.

I still think that Windows will end up being a Linux distribution, and that I will not trust Microsoft any time.

Raspberry Pi OS upgraded based on Debian 12 'Bookworm'

Quoting: emphy
You'll also get a a "Raspberry Pi-optimised" version of Mozilla Firefox, that brings with it enabled V4L2 codec support for better video performance, support for Widevine DRM for video streaming services and work on enabling cameras for video calling.
That's a pretty huge deal for the "desktop replacement" crowd.

For me, this, together with the better pi5 performance, basically means that I can stop complaining about how lenovo's keyboards are getting worse and worse and go for a tex shinobi with pi5, power bank, and portable screen when my good old t420 dies.
Now I feel that I should not have bought the Star Lite V, and instead getting a cheap portable monitor to connect to the Steam Deck to use it as a laptop when travelling...

Quoting: redneckdrowWe're here because we have a shared love of gaming on our favorite kernel, and I'd rather never comment again as make even one person angry. I apologize if I have.
You didn't make me angry, I just disagree with your opinion. But you're right, this might not be the place :)

I'd like to know what happened to all those shares Riccitiello sold just before announcing the price changes in Unity. Now that he's been fired, that deal stinks even more.

Quoting: redneckdrowSigh, the older I get, the more I understand that unscrupulous tactics are the main pitfall of Capitalist/Free-Market economy. Yet, though it may be scummy, I'd take a scummy free-market over any other form of market.
And that is based on personal experience with other form of market or simply from what you've heard on TV?

Quoting: redneckdrowCapitalist, Communist, Republican, Monarchist, Oligarchic, Theocratic, Fascist, and Anarchist economies all have things that make economics equally nightmarish. Not to mention that any of those governments can any/multiples of those economies, irrespective of their politics.
Eeehhh nope.

AMD FSR 3 arrived today in two games - source code later

Quoting: minidouBaldur's Gate 3 FSR when ? :sad:
I think the plan was to update BG3 with FSR2.2 at the same time as the PS5 release, but that didn't happen, so maybe they're now working on FSR3 to help with CPU bottlenecks (One can dream).
