dude's sour he can't get no more Conan-style white male dom RPGs so he says there's "forced" (you don't HAVE to play that game, you know?) LGBT, race and etc variations... which is totally "not how the world REALLY looks like"... on a freaking fictional world where an undead ancient dragon commands magical hordes

noice!

ps:
you can totally still get your Conan fix... go play God of War

Dragon Age: Anything is a horribly poor and buggy execution of a great story moto... "woke" is not even in the top 100 things that make it a bad game series... i mean, who remembers a dragon in DA:O spawning halfway into the floor?!!

the new visual changelog is an absolute pleasure to read through, and this can actually help more game devs hop into this train

it shows progress, attention to details, openness to suggestions, flexibility, ... dayum! :heart:

the improvements, bugfixes and added features look awesome... there's so much stuff going on that it feels like a ChronoTrigger character is sending commits from the future into the current codebase :grin:

i also have high hopes for Godot's future after seeing how capable it became in the hands of talented indie devs like Cassette Beasts... that game rocked me off my chair a few times, especially knowing it came from a FOSS game engine like this... Unity3D better not blink :wink:

Any system.

Please elaborate

Some Yoga models had a bad screen hinge system which made it not stay in place when used as a normal laptop... and most of them had horrible cpu and gpu power, because they were from before the AMD Ryzen tier of efficiency...

what else made it horrible back then that isn't better/solved now?

i love every little thing Mint did regarding the X-Apps initiative

often when Gnome goes hectic, there's something done in X-Apps to mitigate it, which ends up catering for a wide array of DEs and distros

ps:
Muffin has been rebased recently to a newer branch of Mutter, plus they significantly reduced the diffs between those projects, making it easier to rebase it again in the future

Quoting: LoudTechie

Quoting: slaapliedjeIt'd be nice if there were a folder where game saves were put by standard.

OOH, that's a Wine specific problem actually.
Standard that stuff is on windows set in user\Appdata and in linux in user/.local, but wine maintains for each prefix its own Appdata.

The real issue is each game dev can put stuff wherever they want, XDG is just a guideline

FOSS apps mostly adhere to it but closed source apps (like most games) we can't fix unless each app's original dev fixes it... which is an unrealistic expectation for tens of thousands of games, many released then forgotten by their devs, some actually orphaned, etc

See this for an idea how bad it can be:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1026977/need-to-clean-user-home-folder-and-organize-game-folders-with-saves-configs-e [External Link]

In this regard, it's a shame Valve never put their weight in to ask game devs do better, or to create a simple way to remap the game's savefile paths into something else that's standard for all games

they do know the savefile paths steam cloud sync must aim at, so...

in a sense, proton actually helps keep saves in a single folder... along the rest of the proton prefix for each game, sure, but at least it makes for a cleaner home folder and for an easier manual backup target

i really wanted to like PoE 1, but it felt sooooo pointlessly grindy compared to diablo, and the storyline sooo "generic" that i just quit playing after the first story loop

little did i know that Diablo 4 was gonna say "hold my beer" and be even more generic and grindy 😓

reading about the changes they are promising gave me a tiny bit of hope PoE 2 might improve those issues, but it's still unlikely...

i'll give it a fair shot when it becomes available, hopefully on linux, otherwise on the PS5

the phoronix post seems to imply cloud VM clients need stuff isolated from cloud VM provider

we usually have a threat model in our minds where the host needs to be protected from malicious guests, but afaik the reverse is also important to cloud clients processing sensitive data

having minimal parts of the gpu driver running host-side seems to help this goal of keeping sensitive info exclusively in the VM, or at least that's what I'm reading into it

How can you say that! You don't have a heart... of the cards 😁
