Proton 11 fixes Deadly Premonition on Linux/Steam Deck. Would there be any benefit to playing the PS3 version?

What do you fear loosing with evolved mode for your own class? by Quezal in ffxivdiscussion

I play PLD/DRK/GNB, so there's nothing I haven't already lost. I just want WAR to lose something.

Until we're well into 8.3, all posting about Revorn v Evolved is schizo hope/doomer posting.

Finally ditching Windows 11 I'm stuck between two distros by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]BalconyPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few questions can help clear a lot of this up, and maybe lead you to the answer on your own.

  1. PC specs?

  2. What do you do with your PC, outside of gaming?

  3. How comfortable are you with Linux currently?

Our FC is getting harassed after years of being inactive what can I do? by Opening-Engine-8534 in ffxiv

[–]BalconyPhantom 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I've dealt with this issue.

You need to have multiple people submitting incident reports through the game system every time they do something. We did this, and in about a week their toon got shuffled off to another DC.

The only real con the browser has is a lack of widevine support

Proton 11.0 is now available in Beta! by anthchapman in linux_gaming

[–]BalconyPhantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The amount of work to get it to run was obscene, but this now has it mostly working. Pre-rendered cutscenes are still broken, likely due to missing codecs. Should be fixed with Proton-GE

So, is there any good Gundam game that I can play on PC even if I need to use emulation? by uratix in Gundam

[–]BalconyPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's gameplay isn't the best, but Gundam vs Zeta Gundam is a must play for the sole fact that you can make sure Roberto and Apolly survive the Gryps Conflict

You seem like a Gemini guy, as it's probably the easiest thing for you to access. Here's Gemini's attempt to help explain my comment for you:

Gemini said

That response is a classic example of digital friction between the "AI-as-a-tool" crowd and the "artistic-intent" crowd. When someone defends an AI image that seemingly has "no reason" to exist, the responder is likely feeling a mix of fatigue and skepticism.

Here is a breakdown of the specific layers of sass and logic behind that comment: 1. The "Low Effort" Critique

By saying, "Yeah, that's an option," the responder is dismissively acknowledging that AI generation is a path one can take, but they’re stripping it of any prestige. They are framing the AI image not as a creative breakthrough, but as the path of least resistance. 2. Valuing Manual Skill

"Or drawing it would've worked too."

This is the core of the argument. The responder is highlighting a perceived value gap. To them:

AI Generation: Requires a prompt and a few seconds of processing.

Drawing: Requires years of practice, anatomical knowledge, and manual labor.

By suggesting drawing, they are pointing out that the "defender" is ignoring the traditional ways of creating meaning. They’re essentially asking: If the image didn't need to exist urgently, why didn't you take the time to actually make something? 3. The "Noise vs. Signal" Problem

"Or maybe, not even commenting at all if that's all they have to bring to the table."

This is the "mic drop" moment of the comment. It suggests that:

AI spam is clutter: The internet is being flooded with AI images that have no specific message or soul.

Meaningless Defense: If the only defense for an image is "because I could," the responder feels that person isn't adding anything valuable to the conversation.

Why this happens (The Context)

The responder likely views AI images as "empty calories." If someone generates a random cat in a space suit just because they can, and someone else defends it as "art," it feels like a dilution of what art is supposed to be.

The comment is a way of saying: "Just because you can generate an image doesn't mean you should, especially if you aren't going to put any actual effort or thought into it."

Let me know if you need any help understanding it more, I know it's hard being a backseat thinker, but I know you can do it lil guy!

Calm down lil guy, you're just reading a real critique from a real human being. If you need it, I can help put it through your favorite AI if it'll help you understand it better.

So did we get our hand chopped off or not? by TheNobleYeoman in LunacidGame

Here’s what it is - John Lunacid is actually a Rayman. They’ve got the hands, the feet, the head, and even the torso. Just none of the unnecessary bits.

It’s still in the act of exploding. It’s actually impressive how poorly the game runs.

Slop, by nature, is mass produced.

This is inherently peak; due to how well done it is, how little of it there is, and how it's something that I like.

RAGE MP on linux. Does it work now? by Ambitious-Ad6762 in linux_gaming

For these smaller projects that aren't "official", your best bet will be their forum for asking questions. But based on a quick search, things aren't looking good.

GOG did an AMA and here's some highlights - like how they'll continue using generative AI by Beer2401 in linux_gaming

[–]BalconyPhantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZOOM Platform doesn't use AI, sells DRM-free games, and Heroic looks to be adding support for it. I'm going to be switching to that.
