All good. From my non-professional perspective so far it mostly looks like real-time-kit is pretty active, which seems to be primarily for enabling audio.

Are you having issues with audio? Or are you maybe having trouble with GOG after you start it?

Even unreal engine 4 can be rough on mid-range specs.

Playing an 8GB UE4 game on my steam deck I’d get drops to 17 FPS in some spots.

Epic’s had a rough go for the last decade+ at this point.

How new are you to Linux?* /gen

Have you checked the output of, say, “journalctl -b -2”? This would give you a system log of messages that go back to two boot sessions ago and normally show you what happened just before that first shutdown.

This could be drivers, background processes, hardware, no way to know without starting by looking at logs. Hell, I’ve had a monitor crash out my system multiple times and I wouldn’t have ever guessed if I didn’t check my logs and dmesg output.

TIL Mewgenics released.

Hell yeah!

Ori and the Blind Forest, and other metroidvania/pseudo-soulslikes with pretty art and stories.

I just don’t have the patience to “git gud” anymore.

Say goodbye to whatever in-game morals you think you have. CotL is wildly addicting in an amusing way.

You’re pretty much right on the money that the lamb is kind of a “blank slate” for a player self-insert. Freedom of choice (for you, not your followers, ofc) is the name of the game.

Hell yeah.

When in doubt, ProtonDB also has a “Steam Deck” tab for reports.

Usually controller support is enough, though.

I have the 2DSXL, and have played about half of those. I was just sad it was primarily limited to mostly online (Pushmo’s servers are dead) and first-party titles. I was a GBA/DS kid so expected wider variety beyond that.

It’s a fantastic little device for modding though!

I thought Apple/most smartphones would never move to USB-C, or away from proprietary chargers. Pleasantly surprised - thank you EU.

I thought wireless controllers were going to be a fad, or at least garbage in their reliability/connection strength.

I thought VR was finally going to take off as the next major gaming experience when the Vive came out. Unfortunately it remains niche.

I thought Linux was going to be unusable for gaming/mainstream use cases for much longer, but Valve has made huge strides on that with Proton, and OSS devs making things like Heroic for other stores has been awesome. Also shoutout to KDE for, well, everything. Krita, KDE connect, Plasma. LibreOffice has also come a very long way.

I also thought we’d never get another steam controller. Also pleasantly surprised.

I thought the switch was gonna end up with the same depressing library as the 3DS, if that’s any consolation.

Point no. 2 is why I couldn’t get through Witcher 1. There’s only so many times I can fight 3-5 sewer monsters to get enough XP to not die in chapter…4? 5?

and I guess no. 10 was a copy of Coral Island I was gifted, oops lol

At some point I still want LAN Party Adventures, and The Lonesome Guild but those will wait until the next sale. In the meantime I have plenty to sink my teeth (thumbs?) into!

Same. I was able to get like 10 long-wishlisted games for ~$100 with the Steam Winter Sale, too. Nintendo would never.

No mention of the iPod? Shocking

It’s like zen reverse coloring. You can also upgrade your equipment to be more powerful and there’s soaps you can buy with the in-game money you get from completing jobs.

They have a demo 👀

Dammit. I trusted you 😭 I thought it was an article.

Lmao. It’s okay, I lost my winter break to Power Washer Simulator. 60+ hours and still going.

I can stop anytime I want, I swear.

It’s enshittification fatigue, not innovation.

Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.
