Quoting: ageresIt doesn't look HD to me...

Arguably higher definition than the original, but the emphasis should probably be on remaster.
Steam has comparative screenshot GIFs.

Quoting: innguyI like a rolling release distribution

Let me tell you about Siduction [External Link] then. :smile:

I'm torn. There's considerable potential for both good and bad.
It could allow an improved user experience where the regular repos fall short and Flatpak/Snap/AppImage isn't an option. But... there's no official Debian validation that the things in DUR are safe and benevolent. Security versus convenience? :unsure:

The AUR is IMHO simultaneously the best and the worst part of Arch... will the DUR hold up to Debian standards? Can it?

Well I could replicate it on my setup so it's definitely correct, enabling FSR in Dota2 has a sharpening effect.
Screenshots are 3440x1440 everything maxed. (ignore MangoHud claiming it's using OpenGL, it's a bug with 0.6.4) :)

OFF at native [External Link] vs ON at 99% resolution scale [External Link]

OFF at 50% [External Link] vs ON at 50% [External Link]

So why is the FPS unchanged between screenshots? You tell me. Is this really FSR or just sneaky CAS? It's a 6900XT after all so maybe it's too fast to make a difference. Hmm intensifies...

Looking better than native resolution was never the goal for FSR, at least not in the initial stages. It shouldn't be that much sharper as seen in these screenshots... hmm. I wonder if something else is going on here, like CAS which specifically is sharpening while FSR may produce a slight sharpening effect from the edge detection algorithm.

Could it be that Liam mixed up the screenshots?

That's one juicy update for this sweet little game!

Welcome to Sweden! ... asterisk.

We do get tripped up by our complex bureaucracy sometimes, and this topic is rather long in the tooth by now. We need to acknowledge that e-sport athletes are athletes and stop faffing around. I'm quite certain the old people at the top have zero understanding of the incredible effort it takes to compete at this level. Maybe one day. :neutral:

Dark mode was an unexpected addition but a most welcome one to be sure.
Snow stages might still need sunglasses... :dizzy:

Dark mode for Absolute Drift as well please!

Quoting: CatKillerThe -n 1 that I snuck into the rsstail should just pull the latest entry I think.

Ah yes, nice catch! I missed that option, bloody manpage isn't ordered alphabetically. :wink:
Not sure how often we can update the feed without making Liam angry, the example here is 300 seconds (5 minutes) which should be fine for catching most news updates without hammering the server.

rsstail -N -n 1 -i 300 -u https://www.gamingonlinux.com/article_rss.php > /path/to/file/golrss.txt
exec=fold -w 40 /path/to/file/golrss.txt | tail -c +2



edit: Added -c +2 so tail deletes the first empty character and removed -n 3 as the file now only contains the last RSS update and will show it entirely, updated screenshot.

Quoting: CatKillerYou could pipe the feed through something like fold or par

Yeah... would be nice if mr Mango can fine tune exec a bit. Fold is better as it's a part of coreutils. I'd prefer to keep the exec command as minimal as possible since it runs every 0.5 seconds and it would be annoying if it affected the games performance.

A column break at 40 works in my example but it's a static dumb number and can't account for differently sized windows. Checking for this size is more effort than I can be arsed to spend. But for a lazy trick, this three liner works for catching the whole RSS feed update as they aren't longer than 120 characters... however, since many are shorter than 80, you'll see the last line from the previous update as well sometimes.
