I don't care about their third commitment, provided they're true to their first commitment which will allow me to turn all that AI shite off.

However, even the commitment to AI is depressing. As another comment before this noted... there are so many better ways to use their resources than cram unwanted AI features into what's almost the last bastion of non-Google browsers.

Edit... I've just read the post and their "double bottom line" manifesto, and it's clear that they're going all in on AI. Goddamit. Time to look for another browser.

FUCK! (sorry) So angry.

I still call 'em horde survival, tbh. You're surviving against a horde. Bullets are rarely involved. And we already have a bullet-hell tag.

But whatever - it's good to have a tag for it here, that's what's important.

Quoting: 14Do any of the complainers explain what they want it to look like? Or is that a guessing game? I can't tell if people want it to look retro with higher resolution, or if they want it to look like Space Marine 2 fidelity.

It looks okay to me, a decent enough upgrade from the original Deus Ex. But the problem is that Revision, the community upgrade, is already available, and free. And while it doesn't look as good as this, the high-def models really are a huge jump, so now this remaster is looking pretty lacklustre.

Quoting: scaineHard to get excited about this when not only is our O/S not supported, but the features are largely locked to the underwhelming 9000 series of cards.

It promises a nice direction of travel, but there's just nothing really tangible yet.

While I do agree with you on the first part, I don't find the 9000 series to be underwhelming at all. On the contrary I have been very happy with the performance of my 9070 XT which I picked up for a decent price on Black Week. It was a good jump in performance compared to my 5 year old RX 6800 and has been working great under CachyOS.

But I guess it largely depends on you expectations and what you compare them to.

Good point! It's underwhelming (for me) because I have a 7900xtx, so not much a performance jump.

I've got the first Monster Hunter (Worlds?) which was fun, and was looking forward to Wilds, but you know how I feel about Denuvo. No interest. I think there's a third one too, right? Rise?

If they keep sticking that shitty anti-consumer BS on their games, I'll keep not buying them.

I've just started a Deus Ex run last week! But then, I also started a Thief Gold run... and now I can't decide which to play when I'm in the mood for some retro gameplay!

I had some time off a couple of weeks ago, and pulled the trigger on Avowed. Absolutely stunning game - like a cross between Skyrim's open world and interesting characters, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's visceral combat. The dodge, block, attack almost feels souls-like at times, and some of the fights are just absolutely immense. Incredibly fun game.

Otherwise, just Path of Exile 2 as usual, but the Abyssal League finished a few days ago, and the new Last Druid expansion launches tonight, with a new league kicking off. Can't wait. PoE2 is incredible, I love it.

Quoting: LoudTechie

Quoting: LestibournesI wonder, since Valve is now the OS vendor, if it can't implement its own kernel-level anticheat and let the game devs or anticheat devs make use of it.

It could, but the devs wouldn't trust it, because under the gpl they would be forced to release the source code defeating the security through obscurity kernel anti-cheat relies on.

That might be a strength in the long-run though, because if you're relying on security through obscurity, we all know how that ends. But if you implemented an open-source anti-cheat tool that was actually robust? That would be a huge win.

Quoting: Xpanderflatpak :sick:

no appimage?
i guess someone can extract the client from it and build an actual package

nice to see linux support though

I love how ridiculously divisive we all are as Linux users. :grin:

Dare I ask... why the hate for flatpak (a puke emoji, no less!)? If I can't install something directly, I want a flatpak. I'll use an AppImage and resent it, because it (often) doesn't create a menu item, it requires me to find a place for it to live (I usually bung them in ~/Misc/Apps or something), and doesn't update with the rest of my system. I won't use snap, as I'm not interested in YAI (yet another installer) when I already have flatpak.

A fix for your appimage problem is appimage-launcher [External Link].

Thanks! But another fix is to avoid AppImages, haha! :grin:

I think we have a slight problem with a packaging format that needs an external app to manage the packaging format. I suppose the same could be said of Flatpak needing flatseal, but now that Plasma has integrated that into the Plasma settings, I'm definitely a flatpak guy these days. Not for Steam... but definitely for everything else that I can't install easily with my existing package management tool!
