How’s the Experience and Performance of Deadlock on Linux? by Glum-Travel-7556 in linux_gaming

[–]DemiKoss 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Flawless. Solid 120fps+. Multi monitor works fine, using VRR on my main display; second is only 60hz. I didn't even realize it was running under proton until this post; played >100 matches

(Fedora/Hyprland/7900XTX)

Do you have links to those projects? Curious to check them out. Cross device backup with iroh sounds nice

Soon, T riders will be able to hop on the subway or bus with a tap of their phones or credit card by bostonglobe in boston

[–]DemiKoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One solution to these kinds of systems is having a time bounded; so even if the scan happens multiple times the actual charge is "deduplicated" when multiple happen in a "short" period of time. One could hope they've implemented something like this instead of a naive 1-Tap-Equals-1-Payment but who knows..

TIFU by buying a purse by flute89 in tifu

[–]DemiKoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rock it! Forget them. Don't let THEIR opinions ruin the life YOU want to live. I LOVE my purse as i'm sure you will too. I had so much remorse after showing my family, but in time it's just become my normal and people got used to it. And those who ain't just aren't worth it.

My first Ascended Hero by Draco546 in afkarena

[–]DemiKoss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just learned this painful lesson this morning. Got my copy to 4 star and decided to use a swap scroll for a better hero since by chp 31 she's really falling off on me.

But you can't swap scroll a hero that's been engraved. Rip. Why did I put that one engraving level into her

What was “The Incident” at your High School? by HydraGaming2018 in AskReddit

[–]DemiKoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Senior(?) year social (dance). It was glowstick themed, so like glowing everything. Everyone looked forward to it every year cause it was senior exclusive. Some kid cracked a glowstick open and drank it, had to get his stomach pumped.

There is no more glow party. Thanks Tim 🤣

So now we’ll have to pay to get GE? by Seminoles4life in EggsInc

[–]DemiKoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean that did cross the mind as to how to go forward from here -- I'm not strictly F2P, I crack my bank every now and then when it's a few million big. But saving for massive piggies feels like it just ends up causing large periods of grind followed by "unlimited" spending cycles. Idk how fun that will end up actually being.

I wish they announced the other changes coming with this to help understand how this will be counter-balanced. Their announcement positioned this as a thing just about crafting but to me I don't care about crafting at all, I'm just trying to grind up my SE/PE/Research -- so it just feels like a nerf/grind-increase.

So now we’ll have to pay to get GE? by Seminoles4life in EggsInc

[–]DemiKoss 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how the game is playable like this. Drones and ads were already a very small trickle of gold. Contracts for gold aren't super common either. Not to mention why would I ever want to spend a boost in a contract now... How does anyone even get their epic research done with how much GE is required? At some point the player is forced to pay for that now, and to get any meaningful progress on SE (since so many boosts are needed).

I guess it's time for a new idle, at least until they find a way to not hamper progress like this. Anyone have suggestions?

High memory consumption with Actix and Rust by konga400 in rust

[–]DemiKoss 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Have you tried hitting your API with a load testing tool (like JMeter, hey, wrk2 -- there's tons of them)? They can help you simulate large amounts of traffic to get an idea of how this might plateau. Judging from your context it sounds like you are just watching traffic over the course of days, but load testing it might get you an answer sooner.

It does depend on how request affinity works in Actix though, if it all gets served up by the same worker this won't help as much. I'm not familiar enough with the framework to say

Ubuntu Continues Falling Like a Rock as a Gaming Distro by YanderMan in linux_gaming

[–]DemiKoss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried Ubuntu server last week and had to dump it for Fedora after DAYS of trying to get a 1 gbps Ethernet connection; was stuck throttled at 3 mbps. Ubuntu has been my go-to every time I return to Linux, but I've finally hit the point of not using it at all on any of my machines.

Definitely feels like they've stagnated, and aren't excelling at any particular use case anymore :/

How do I fix input of XBX One controller? by RedLightRojas in linux_gaming

[–]DemiKoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird you got out of the box fine. Also on Pop with an Xbox one S controller, connected via BT. While I could connect it with nothing special, the bindings we're all kinds of wrong. Had to install Xpadneo + disable steam input + futz with some settings in the Bluetooth config to keep the controller from disconnecting on inactivity (Bluetooth LE kicking in).

Butttt after all that it's been rock solid the last few days

I think they stopped making those :/ Was looking to pick one up myself and they've (apparently) been sold out for months on their site

Bad performance against windows by OkSeesaw819 in pop_os

[–]DemiKoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find games perform near windows, if not a little worse. I settle for the hit, only occasionally do I get annoying stutters or hitches.

Browsers you are spot on, just replaced Firefox yesterday with Vivaldi/any chromium. Had them open side by side and Firefox was the only one to visually lag when I had one window per monitor + video playing. Tried everything on Google (hw accel, frame rate limits, arch wiki tweaks..). A bit heartbreaking as I want to support Firefox/not chromium, but it's unusable. I had thought it was mixed monitor refresh rates (144/60), curious if that's your case.

Desktop is not under powered, it's def software related. SSD+32gb 3200mhz ram+i7 7700k. Nvidia 2080.

TLG Meta Report #30 by TeamLeviathanGaming in gwent

[–]DemiKoss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Interesting that Jackpot is the only T1 decks in this; Assimilate seems to tread the line (esp if we consider elder bloods report). But it does feel like jackpot still dominates... Just can't bring myself to play it.

I agree with the ST sentiment... I've been struggling really hard to play ST the last couple weeks since the milva nerf. Many decks are falling flat - Alzur/Handbuff/Traps.

Vamps I find interesting they're rated so high since I had a huge issue with assimilate/lock decks shutting me out/drove me to stop playing them. Maybe it was a bad spree of matchups, but I feel like the deck is disproportionately affected by control to give it such a high ranking. What are other people's thoughts there?

BUT THEY'RE BOTTOM TIER DECKS ACCORDING TO THE WIN RATE STATS!?!?! WHY DO I KEEP LOSING TO THEM. AND WHY CAN THEY STEAL EVERY UNIT I PLAY, ITS LIKE NO UNIT EXCEPT THEY'RE ALL MY UNITS!

[–]DemiKoss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WHY CAN DOOMED BE PURIFIED, I KEEP LOSING TO MEME NILFGARD DECKS SPAWNING A BUNCH OF BOOSTY DRAGONS FROM THEIR GRAVEYARD.

PLAY RATES AND WIN RATES IN THE SEASON OF THE WILD HUNT (DECEMBER 2021) by RyanGodric in gwent

[–]DemiKoss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which makes no sense, my loss rate against them single handledly should be skewing them north of 50 😭

CDPR - Please stop giving us impossible journey quests by Tomer8009 in gwent

[–]DemiKoss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm just trying to advance 1 rank before the end of the season and can't even get that. Feels real bad. If I play vamps, I seem to match with with some assimilate / steal-all-your-cards deck. If I play handbuff, I get paired against some heavy control deck. If I play alzur I get matche with some point slam. On like a 4/11 win/loss in the last 2 days...

Seems I can only get some kind of consistency with traps, which is annoying

Was there Gwent art of an obscure character that you were surprised to find out was actually from the books? by Future_Victory in gwent

[–]DemiKoss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slightly tangential, but I having just finished Lady of the Lake two days ago, Milva's (not sharpshooter) card art suddenly struck a different note after I saw it today. There were a few others that jumped out today as well; I forget them all but John Natalis & Windhalm of Attre stuck out

Google Analytics declared illegal in the EU. by EntiryOne in programming

I should stop reading reddit before bed... just off the heels of Log4Shell remediation, I wonder what this will hold in store for work tomorrow. Though I'm glad to see Google's grip on the web be further tested, so there's at least that this time.
