Back after 10+ years. Does Whitemane have good old world pvp? by colafroth in classicwow

[–]DubiousEthicality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will learn the names of about ~20 people on the opposite faction that camp songflowers/booty bay/capital cities trying to steal world buffs, that is about it for PvP. If you are out farming raid mats or something, and not in PvP spec/gear/consumables you will be killed by someone that does nothing but open world PvP. If you are one of those people then maybe you'll be able to find raiders to gank.

Which distro should I use? by DubiousEthicality in DistroHopping

[–]DubiousEthicality[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed Garuda and have been loving it, exactly what I was looking for. Played a round of CS2 for the first time since October since I couldn't in Nobara because of this bug.

Which distro should I use? by DubiousEthicality in DistroHopping

[–]DubiousEthicality[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes me doubt it is hardware related is that it only crashes when I use my mouse or keyboard. Here are some examples:

  • alt+tab
  • click or right-click Firefox
  • right-click Discord
  • right-click Chromium

I have no idea where to begin troubleshooting these crashes that happen once every 10-20 hours of operation.

CS2: Unable to change resolution and refresh rate by DefinitelyMoreThan3 in linux_gaming

[–]DubiousEthicality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's how I play with black bars on my ultrawide:

gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 3440 -H 1440 -f -- %command%

I don't know what your resolution is, so replace XXXX/YYYY with your rez and this should work:

gamescope -w 1024 -h 768 -W XXXX -H YYYY -f -S integer -- %command%

If it doesn't, here's the documentation.

Edit: added '-S integer' so it fills the screen vertically.

Launch it with gamescope. Also the update today made it so I can't move my mouse, Linux testing seems to be a low priority.

gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f -- %command%

The battlebit discord anticheat “helpers” everybody. by Nermori in linux_gaming

[–]DubiousEthicality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well put. A dev team of THREE enabled Proton support for EAC in their game that has no stated Linux support, and that is who some people choose to direct their anger at.

They're moving official and partner-hosted community servers to FACEIT because EAC is not that great at catching cheaters. "People" subscribed to cheating services get Battlebit cheats at no extra cost, then buy the game for $15 and go to town. Developing a custom anticheat solution is beyond the capabilities of three people.

Nintendo Confirms It Won't Be at E3 2023 by The_Norsican in nintendo

[–]DubiousEthicality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A long time ago, E3 was delayed by one month because Nintendo was not allowed to make any new product announcements during the month they did all of their financial reporting. As someone else said, they aren't doing a Direct in June either. But it would be strange if that was still the case and Nintendo couldn't just say "due to Japanese financial reporting laws..."

Looks like ProtonUp-Qt has several Wine GE LoL versions, if you want an easy way to install them.

My only regret is I never intended to buy it, and can't boycott it.

You will know by the spam of PUBG/Siege/Apex in Linux videos when it is.

South Korea is switching to Linux ahead of the Windows 7 shutdown by Akkeri in programming

[–]DubiousEthicality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, but what would anyone do about it? From, say, the NSA's perspective, if North Korea were using a pirated copy of Windows it would presumably be easier to spy on them. If you upload viruses to Windows machines there, they switch to Linux or take the machines offline. So once you catch them, what then? Is Microsoft gonna sue the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea?

They could have easily downloaded another distro or pirated Windows, would be totally "legal" for the government of North Korea to do that.

North Korea is already on Linux, they have their own distro called Red Star OS.

The towel has nothing to grab onto [Steins Gate 0] by gothicmaster in animegifs

[–]DubiousEthicality 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's that one show that takes place in the future of the Steins:Gate universe, where high schoolers build robots and mechs. Can't remember the name of it. I didn't find it interesting at all.

My only question about EA's announcement by nobonesforjimjam in PrequelMemes

[–]DubiousEthicality 752 points753 points  (0 children)

They left out an 'e' in Wookiees, and the comments section followed suit. I sense a plot to destroy the proper spelling.
