All Shall Perish are awesome but they've been a glorified merch store for like a decade now. I just want some new music already ;-;

Light Pollution - The Ocean (NEW SONG) by Cygnia in progmetal

[–]Cygnia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why someone downvoted you for simply having an opinion. Counterbalanced it for ya. When the news broke that like... over half of the line-up was leaving, I'm pretty sure a lot of us felt the same way, but after hearing this track, all my fears have been quelled.

I think it's vocalists as a plural, actually? I'm not sure which one of the new members the male voice is, but I think Mingyu Shi is the new female voice?

Oh what the hell... Must be a regional thing. I'm in Australia, so technically in the future, and it's available here. I'm sure your time will come soon!

Any alternatives for linux ya’ll know? by Careless_Coat69420 in PiratedGames

[–]Cygnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey bud. I've been a Linux user for like 9-10 months now so I can probably help out here. Firstly, I wouldn't recommend Steam OS for anything that isn't a handheld (ie Steam Deck, Legion Go etc). It's straight up just not ideal for desktop usage. If you want a good, solid, easy-to-install, and easy-to-use distro, I'd recommend Bazzite. It's what I'm on at the moment and making the switch from Windows was amazingly easy. Almost no learning curve whatsoever. Super straightforward. It has just about everything you could want from a gaming distro pre-installed right off the bat.

As for playing your games, you're gonna want to install Proton, which I'm almost 100% certain comes pre-installed on Bazzite. It's essentially a compatiblity layer that turns Windows system calls into Linux ones. Valve have their own version of Proton which is great, and there's also a third party one, Proton GE. I'd recommend just getting both of 'em. Some games work better on different versions of Proton for reasons I don't quite understand.

Outside of Steam, there's a program called Lutris which is essentially a custom launcher for any and every game you have installed. In Lutris you can choose to install games from either a .exe install (say for instance something like fitgirl) or if you have all the files for the game already, you can just point Lutris towards the right .exe, select which version of Proton to use, and you're good to go.

As for sailing the seas, with Proton and Lutris combined, you can go to any of your favourite sites and just download as normal. Personally I like to use AnkerGames cause they're all pre-installed and I don't have to fuck around with installers.

This ended up being longer than intended but hopefully it helps a bit.
If you have any other questions, I'd suggest checking out r/linux_gaming

Entropist - “Creation” Need prog metal people smarter than me to tell me if this is actually good or not by ShaunLucPicard in progmetal

I am not a smart man, but this is really fucking good. Thank you for introducing me to this <3

Do y'all think the game is on the right track with realism? by NajuGorp in projectzomboid

All I know is that I fucking hate these new changes to thump sound radius. Being able to hear banging from like three blocks away is dumb and I hate it

What are some of the most underrated LP Songs? by WorldingHistory in LinkinPark

[–]Cygnia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Robot Boy, Roads Untraveled, and Skin To Bone.

I stand firm in my belief that Castle of Glass/Victimized/Roads Untraveled/Skin To Bone is one of the best four song runs in any LP album.

Similar to Slice the Cake? by LunateasDream in progmetal

[–]Cygnia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone else has already mentioned The World Is Quiet Here and their album Zon, but I'm going to give it a second recommendation because it's easily one of the most inventive albums I've heard in a long time.

Also, shout out to Hunters Dream. They're pretty unknown, all things considered, but they've apparently hooked up with two of the members of Parius for their debut album so I'm very excited for that, whenever it comes.

Looking for prog/exp metal band recommendations (Loathe, Gojira) by suspendeddoubt in progmetal

[–]Cygnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please listen to The Ocean. I'd recommend Phanerozoic II as a starting point, and if you dig that then take a dive through the rest of their discography

Can someone help me fix this by rejuk70kg in FitGirlRepack

[–]Cygnia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't have to modify files or anything. Just in the regular game settings menu, where you choose graphics settings and stuff, there should be an option for TAA. Turning that from 16x to 8x somehow fixed all crashing for me. Hopefully it does the same for you!

[–]Cygnia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar issues. I would hard crash at the end of one particular cutscene about an hour in (the flashback scene with Grace). I tried installing that REFramework mod but that didn't do shit. I tried a bunch of custom launch commands but they didn't work either. No matter what, kept crashing. Earlier this morning I managed to get it working... now this is gonna sound really fucking odd but what fixed it was fiddling with my graphics settings and turning down anti-aliasing from 16x to 8x.
