@gamingonlinux Television formats. Gardeners' World is still the best gardening show, Brits codified the Murder of the Week genre etc.

There's a lot of fuss over the Starfield "Steam Deck Essentials" mod, but it keeps repeatedly massively breaking the game. Don't use it.

It breaks lighting, has broken saves etc. Not worth it.

Dofain

@gamingonlinux well, what mod doesn't break a Bethesda game? :p

Smalls

@gamingonlinux They made a change in one of the updates for the mod that modifies the reflections config on the low setting and that is what's causing the lighting to be funky, from what I can tell.

@gamingonlinux The Complex has been on my wishlist for a while then I saw one of the others has Paul McGann in so that settled it. I have one loaded up on my Deck ready.

@gamingonlinux Thanks for the tip. I didn't even know they still made FMV games. Enjoyed them back in the Philips CD-I ages. Anyway, just bought the bundle and enjoying Mia and the Dragon Princess on the #SteamDeck

@gamingonlinux Red Hat Linux 7, I guess? Haven't seen this for ages! That was the first Linux distribution I installed :)

#Starfield might be the thing that finally gets me to buy that gaming console that is forever on my wishlist.

I found a mod that downscales the textures and tweaks some other settings.

I can run the game at 1080p with the Deck connected to my TV and using the in-game FSR 2.0 feature it looks good.

On some planets and cities it is still around 20 FPS, but the latency is good so it's possible to play. In indoor maps I get up to 40 FPS (which the mod seems to lock to).

@gamingonlinux It's still not generally working if you use a Nvidia card unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜ข

@gamingonlinux tried it on Linux desktop last night and half the scene didn't render. Neither of the NPCs had arms or legs and most of the elevator or whatever your riding isn't rendered

Feels like adaptions can never win.

Itโ€™s not a 1:1 copy - โ€œthey changed this raaaaa!โ€

It pretty much is - โ€œitโ€™s too similar raaaa!โ€

@gamingonlinux not much of an anime fan, but I definitely struggled with the cowboy bebop (one of the few anime I really love) adaptation, something was just very off, but then that fits for a lot of Netflix produced shows and movies...

Alex

@gamingonlinux bro, it's a Netflix adaptation. Of course they can't win.

Deb

@gamingonlinux Their main complaint boils down to the fact that it's not as impactful as the original because it's an abridged version of it, but with the series being currently 1000 chapters long, it's simply impossible to "commit" to bringing everything to the live action.

It's a fair review but their negative point about it choosing a middle ground is actually a strong point for me, you just can't have everything and rewriting the entire thing is simply also impossible.

The amount of people losing their shit over having pronouns in Starfield is just hilarious. Absolute melts ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคก

@gamingonlinux The real crime is the NPC haircuts on New Atlantis.

@gamingonlinux
We just used to call those features in games. I thought the whole point of an RPG is to let you have choice and roleplay. Are people really upset at options to express themselves in a fictional work? It must be exhausting being a bigot.

@gamingonlinux hardly surprising at this point, between steam deck and proton you can play more games than ever on Linux. macOS have fragmented between intel and arm CPUs and many developers didnโ€™t rebuild their apps with 64bit support after 32bit was dropped. Some games marked as working donโ€™t and others do when marked as broken. Easier to dualboot on intel macs.

@gamingonlinux PENGUINS CAN'T BREATHE UNDERWATER GET HIM OUT OF THERE BEFORE HE DROWNS

Fuchsiii~~~

@gamingonlinux lets see if the mouse in GTA3 that they broke in 8.11 works again. Otherwise I need to stop procrastinating creating a bug ticket...

Microsoft: we will only use what you set when weโ€™re forced legally ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคก

Their desperation to get you to use Edge however they can is just funny.

@gamingonlinux BRB, phase-transitioning myself to the EEA.

@gamingonlinux I will never not be mad that they moved Edge to Chromium.

I understand it was probably very costly to have their own rendering team and all having their own engine and all

But Edge before turning into basically a skin of Chrome was actually good.

Like, I hated IE for years and years (and been using Firefox since 2004) so I can confidently say

"If at the least the stuff you pushed wasn't some fucking degooglified shite, maybe I'd be more forgiving"

Megan Fox

@gamingonlinux I'm absolutely shocked that this works at all- rad!

Mark :fatpikachu:

@gamingonlinux I had a feeling the game was going to be a little rough on the Steam Deck. Especially since itโ€™s having similar performance issues on the Series S when landing the ship in the largest city (like the one in your vid).
