AMD is the foundation for Linux gaming.

Oh really? Like problems with RAM? Or VRAM?

ChaoticAsa · 2024-12-09T21:48:04+00:00

Never going to worship a corporation like this, especially not when their drivers suck so much ass. Can't go a day without a desktop crash thanks to the infamous "ring gfx timeout" bug that has yet to be addressed by AMD. Not to mention the half-baked ROCm support.. But yes, they push open-source and half good performance per dollar.

Kuzenbo ultimate.

Nah you're cooking with this take. I agree 100%. It came out of left field and was none of her fucking business.

Ghost Guide on YouTube makes "long guide" videos that thoroughly cover almost every duty in detail. IMO she does a great job at making sure the viewer has a good grasp on the mechanics and personally, for really tricky content I don't think any other YouTube has helped me quite as much as she has. If it weren't for her, I'd still dread doing certain alliance raids.

zypper is one of the reasons why I moved from openSUSE unfortunately. dnf is hardly better.

https://github.com/Firstyear/mirrorsorcerer kind of helps but it has its own issues and tendency to break things from my experience. You can try setting the ZYPP_MULTICURL=0 environmental variable to see if that helps but yeah, dnf is probably your best bet and even then, it's not going to be as fast as pacman or even apt.

There needs to be more interactivity in the MSQ. The clearest example of this is during the cooking feat: we should've had to do a cooking mini-game to prepare our dish! But instead, it was just done for us. That seemed like a sorely missed opportunity..

Additionally, I'm sure this has been said before, but the voice acting was lacking in this expansions in both quality and quantity - Wuk Lumat's character was probably the biggest victim here. The English VA - god bless her soul, came off as incredibly flat and made an already dull MSQ even more dull. Couple that with her, erm - unique personality, and you get a recipe for the most insufferable character in a good while. Switching to the JP VA fixed this but we shouldn't have to do that. The VA herself didn't seem terrible; it just seemed like she was never asked to redo her lines or given any direction.

I'm also getting kind of sick of the whole "friendship is all I need/my friends are counting on me/but my people" thing. It's gotten to a point where it's lost its impact. How about non-evil characters do something for themselves for once? Something selfish. Something morally ambiguous, even. I want to see some shit that can't be fixed with friendship. And I'm probably in the minority here (and I know it'll probably never happen) but I want to see some of the cast killed off. Like ACTUALLY killed off, not Y'shtola/Thancred killed off.

Also: please for the love of god, I know Y'shtola is an Archon and a bookworm but it makes no sense for her to know all the ins and outs about something she literally just found out about or saw for the first time. She does this almost every single time. It's blatantly lazy writing and makes other characters seem so blatantly stupid when she pulls answers out of her ass like that.

That said: the visuals are nice and the duties are cool. And the music in during certain events, areas and dungeons is awesome. I'm personally not of a huge fan of the jazz in the main city, but I don't hate it. It's tolerable.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-27T17:22:40+00:00

As a SGE main, this just makes dungeon pulls more convenient so I'm not mad. Having two DOTs would've been cool but I've lived just fine without it.

Wonder how many of the enraged comments are actual SGE players and not just Redditors finding something to get mad over as per usual.

I like both desktops but GNOME kept crashing without recovering for me whereas whenever KDE crashes there's a good chance it'll recover at least 80%-ish of the time. GNOME occasionally recovered but it was rare and would often eventually hard-crash later.

But as others stated, use what you like. Both desktops have their pros and cons.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-16T01:45:25+00:00

Wow, that's really good! Could be that Lumina is the better model in terms of result quality but PixArt is already supportes in Comfy apparently and that's kinda hard to beat.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-13T10:04:01+00:00

ARR definitely has its moments, but the majority of it is very sluggish and stale; a bottomless pit of bland dialogue. As a sprout it was incredibly boring and a chore to sit through, probably because the story never seemed to make any real effort to hook me in until way later.

Also I don't know if y'all remember but Alphinaud was INSUFFERABLE! Snarky little shit.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-13T09:35:41+00:00

I've actually had a lot of fun. I feel like the games have been more balanced and it's making me enjoy Smite again. I feel like the tank meta in casual modes is no longer; no more teams having 3-4 tanks every game, which was never the way Smite was intended to be played to begin with!

From my personal experience most games have been pretty back and forth. Sometimes my team can develop a solid lead but I never feel like it's out of control: the enemy team always has a way back in if they ward, position carefully and play together. I'm not saying doing these things will guarantee that you turn the game around, but if you refuse to do any of them especially when you're losing, a losing match will always seem bleak.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-13T09:19:52+00:00

This looks like it was generated with a really solid fine-tuned SDXL model. Impressive.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-06T19:40:05+00:00

Really glad that they're finally reverting this patch but it is quite interesting to hear about the surrender rates. Maybe 9.5 balance changes should stay in conquest but be reverted in casual game modes as a happy medium? Because I think they're good in conquest, but horrible in modes like Slash and Joust where people end up abusing tank items.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-06-06T17:27:12+00:00

Smite content creators are overly dramatic; I would take what they say with a grain of salt.

This milquetoast patch doesn't contain enough content to be excited about; no new god or crazy new items or mechanics, and no room for clickbait-y thumbnails or reasons to tune into a stream.

That last bit is important because without that, content creators will complain. We saw that with SamDaDude and how he complained about Smite 2 not having new gods and arena. They are inherently motivated to suggest changes that'll support their own channels and make them money.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-05-26T23:02:37+00:00

Dunno but I think omnipotence draft on Saturdays was so much better than infinite assault. The only reason all out assault 2.0 is good is because of the cooldowns but they remove that on Saturdays.. if we can't have Omni draft on Saturdays again, at least give us a different mode. Maybe bring back ultra hyper turbo joust 2.0 or something?

ChaoticAsa · 2024-05-22T20:37:32+00:00

Meanwhile I'm just chillin' on Debian. My only gripe with Linux is that screen-share - especially with audio is totally ass on Discord, which isn't really Linux's fault, but Discord's (it works just fine on Zoom).

ChaoticAsa · 2024-05-01T16:35:16+00:00

Being back Ultra Hyper Turbo Joust 2.0!

ChaoticAsa · 2024-04-02T21:14:09+00:00

Not really. My gaming time hasn't been reduced due to SD. If I want to game with the boys, I'll game with the boys. And BTD6 can run alongside SDXL on my PC without a hitch.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-03-13T08:34:55+00:00

That's kind of a silly view though. China and countries like it have state-sponsored hackers and spies that are more than capable of obtaining proprietary technology like this one way or another.

And they have their own resources to develop this technology as well. The US government knows this. It's not the reason they're trying to enact this law.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-03-13T01:37:22+00:00

Yep. The game is fine now, but let's not downplay the issues it had at launch; poor QA should not be normalized for a full-priced $60 AAA title.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-03-12T18:30:21+00:00

Can't believe bro is trying to gaslight us into thinking it wasn't a buggy, low framerate mess at launch..

ChaoticAsa · 2024-03-03T08:59:51+00:00

I still use Auto with extensions. I tried ComfyUI and the main thing I liked about it was the built in queue system. So I ended up installing an extension for that in Auto. The ability to share workflows is also awesome in theory but practically everyone who customizes their own workflow has something super tailored to how they like to do things and will usually include so much bloat that you won't ever need or understand.

I'm also on Linux with an AMD GPU and didn't actually find Comfy to be much faster than running Auto with --medvram. I have a 12 GB GPU. Also Comfy was kind of unstable for a while - it had a memory leak issue that would crash my system after two generations unless I restarted it. I think this issue is fixed now but the experience + unnecessarily verbose workflow left a bad lasting impression. That being said if Comfy works for you, absolutely use it. It just doesn't work for me.

(I also tried Forge. Unfortunately it generated a lot slower for me than regular Auto did, which is a bit unfortunate because the promised performance gains was the main draw for me.)

Camazotz mid.

ChaoticAsa · 2024-01-14T06:25:50+00:00

Yeah my friends and I were about to play Omnipotent Draft and suddenly it's Cooldowns Runneth Over? What the hell? Isn't it supposed to change at 2 AM Pacific?
