I just powered up my bases in NMS: beyond after a hiatus, having stopped at NMS: next.
It really runs great after hitting all those upgrade barriers...

• steam controller layout has been reworked and hence it's terrible without fixing the controller layout. Streaming it to a win2 makes the win2 gamepad layout work perfectly fine though


• Your base needs power to be able to do anything


• You need to upgrade your tech to be able to create power


• You need a lot of power to power a simple base


• For switches you need to visit the nexus, which have you confronted with real time other players....

Anyway, also doing Fortresscraft evolved again, GTA EFLC, Gay Tony, and Oxygen not included.

Fortunately it's multiplayer, so I can set up a Friday beer day collegial dick measuring contest as some kind of team building.

I always think Factorio as a FC:E clone, but in 2D instead of a 3D FP"S".
(Yeah, you can actually shoot critters, but it won't do any good, having automated defenses is a requirement, which means a good amount of mining automation, refining automation , redistributing automation).

But maybe I should just buy it for a short run.

I have the problems for months that I found my steam crashed. It always seems to have a need to allocate a single contiguous 8GB of RAM that mysteriously was not available anymore. I actually only work in big picture.

Quoting: NanobangI'm actually worried that if I buy No Man's Sky I'll never play anything else ever again. Their improving the Linux performance isn't helping. :P

I thought that about a lot of games. The reality is that after some time you switch to one of the other games and then switch back. I've already done 172 hours on no man's sky, ever since I've heard that it worked on proton. But then I needed to switch back to fortresscraft, and now I am playing oxygen not included, waiting for my new video card to arrive so I can play No man's sky again, add another 100 hours or so...
Actually I am postponing certain games so I can play them on my Smach Z.

Obviously it's the speed in which the watt.carrot increases. And that speed is 3. Sheez.

Won't Rockstar DMCA-nuke this into the ground ??

It requires you own the original game to play it, so they shouldn't be able to do anything. If they do and they manage to succeed, it would put basically any other similar project in a grey area: openXcom, OpenMW, OpenRA and so on.

DMCA-nuke actually means threatening with so much legal shit without even going legal, that even if you are right, it does not really matter. There are 2 ways you can defend against that: comply, or money up for the actual legal defense.
Now seriously: who is going to invest so much time and money into a legal war, just to be able to program it.

If you have anything to test, I will test it when I get it.
For now the Smach Z Pro has been cheaper than the WIN2 for me. The WIN2 added VAT to the import, which made it much more expensive than the Smach Z Pro, as the Smach Z is build in europe. So there is no import duties, nor VAT anymore.
The WIN2 has been lying dead for a while waiting for a replacement battery, and in my eyes is not really intended for Linux usage. The BIOS is not exactly good, and needed a lot of kernel workarounds to get the matching of the BIOS quirks working.

You made me buy rust, and now you want to make me buy "Stranded Deep". Well, so be it.
