@gamingonlinux @sporedrive love it!!

@gamingonlinux

Does not need the box. It is wasting vertical pixels which add up quickly on mobile.

@gamingonlinux Oh, gotta try that!

@gamingonlinux My favourite game 🖤 Note that it’s also on Itch and on GOG, so more store options for those who prefer them :)

@gamingonlinux I wish they added some optimisation to the VR mode because it still looks like it's running 2 instances of the game at the same time

@gamingonlinux i think no man's sky recently broke in heroic launcher for the gog version. looks like they changed the installer to be in multiple parts, which caused heroic to freak out when it tries to pull the install information.

hope it gets fixed soon so i can play the gog windows version on my stream deck again!

@gamingonlinux cannot wait to try this out!!

@gamingonlinux intern went back to school and the senor dev who was nominally in charge of the intern is now nominally in charge of posting the correct changlog

@gamingonlinux Incompetence at it's full expression.

@gamingonlinux when you don't give a damn about your documentation because

"What ? Technical writers ? Doc ? We'll let the AI do that while we concentrate on the REAL work, thanks :)))"

(Am I a technical writer working for a large corp that happens to be a competitor of theirs ? MAYBEEEEE)

@gamingonlinux
Buy A Hat In Time :cat_gun:

@gamingonlinux How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man?

@gamingonlinux im pretty sure nothing can 'fix' the EA App...

@gamingonlinux yikes

@gamingonlinux
Just sign here with your blood, no reason

@gamingonlinux

This is a very devilish move. They get to be anti-competition while also getting pro developer praise. Publishers will instantly cash in because of the quick profit incentive while making Steam look obsolete as they will never get another Triple A game on day.

People will choose playing the hottest new game and ditch the more pro-consumer platform. Epic might be evil, but they're damn good at it.

@gamingonlinux Play any CoD, Tarkov, ... any online game at all and you'll have cheaters. So what, ban them and be done with it. The only poeple actually impacted here are the ones that don't like to install spyware onto their systems. The ones that just wanna play the damn game. Same with copy protection. The main reason I started ripping movies off DVDs is because I didn't want to sit through copyright warnings for minutes ... every time.

@gamingonlinux You cannot prove lost sales through piracy. While I personally have not been negatively impacted by Denuvo, it clearly benefits people who pirate more than people who don't. The overwhelming majority of people who buy a game were going to buy it anyway, not because it'll take a week for the pirates to release a Denuvo-free copy. It's a waste of everyone's time and money.

@gamingonlinux Personally, I'd be much more okay with Denuvo's usage in games if developers and publishers would actually go back and remove it. But here we are, how many years later with games like Metal Gear Solid V still being stuck with it.

@gamingonlinux i've been playing apex for over a year on Linux exclusively, so far no bans. Fingers crossed nothing happens

@gamingonlinux "After thoroughly investigating your account and concern, we again found that we actioned your account correct"

"thoroughly investigating"

Massive doubt there. EA is hostile to all customers, but even more so Linux users. Considering this isn't the first time this has happened for this game, I almost wish Valve would remove the Steam Deck compatibility listing from the Apex store page.

@gamingonlinux i'm not a linux user(yet), but i'm so glad i'm not playing that 😄

@gamingonlinux Heya Liam, thanks for the write up! On the "new distro" thing, it's not that.

This is a relatively new technique to the Linux desktop of layering custom changes onto an existing Fedora image.

You can always throw away those customizations and boot into a pristine upstream Fedora image. (or any other image for that matter).

So it's applying a config on top of Fedoa. This is an important distinction we try to make because no one wants more distros (and we agree!)

@gamingonlinux Fedora you say :thinkerguns:

@gamingonlinux
hmm.. I've been contemplating installing this.. as I want to use my deck as a full fledge system (windows 10 for controller/anticheat workarounds with linux for everything else).. On one hand steamos is built with the deck but on the other Bazzite is more stable and up-to-date without missing features... it's a tough decision. since this os can be dualbooted and play waydroid..

@gamingonlinux so hyped

@gamingonlinux
Can't wait for this one! The first one was amazing.

@gamingonlinux i loved the first one so much this is going to be so good hopefully i can wait

@gamingonlinux WELL!

@gamingonlinux It looks like the open source rewrite of the engine https://github.com/luciusDXL/TheForceEngine with a cheap AI upscaling of the cutscenes (so ugly !)

No evidence obviously, but TheForceEngine provides all the modern features they pretend to add in the remaster, and the look of the images is very similar (that is the same as in the original game, but with a renderer which support high resolutions)

@gamingonlinux

@gamingonlinux but, why didn't they just set double-click by default and allow those who want it to enable single click in the options ?

@gamingonlinux Arent we here on Linux to be free of choice?

@gamingonlinux But wait, what if I wanted to play Sniper Elite 5 on the Deck, and cheat like a politician too? 😢

@gamingonlinux omg there go another 2 months of wasted evenings

@gamingonlinux Finally….glad it got released before Starfield.
