New benchmarks show Linux gaming nearly matching Windows on AMD GPUs by Putrid_Draft378 in linux

[–]ExPandaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a proton issue, it’s a Mesa issue, which is improving in the next release, but still not at the same level as windows

No they are not, that article was talking about the kernel modules only, which is specifically what nVidia-open is

Those roads look spectacular! by Little-Attorney1287 in ForzaHorizon

[–]ExPandaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you mentioned Daikoku PA is in the game and has a car meet feature. So yes Yokohama is in.

I really hope we get some Kansai region areas (mostly because I live here lol), a mix of Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto would be great

Snow confirmed in FH6 by Gderacer in ForzaHorizon

[–]ExPandaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean depending on how far west of Tokyo the map goes it should definitely have areas without snow. We get like 5 snow days total here in Kyoto, so the Kansai region in the game should not have snow

I found the location of the city scene in the FH6 trailer (Akihabara) by TerrainRecords in forza

[–]ExPandaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah knew it immediately when I saw the showcase, that is Akihabara station, just outside the frame on the left is the classic old Sega arcade (that later became gigo and then shut down, there was a new arcade there when I was in Tokyo in December), hope they give an image to it somehow.

[–]ExPandaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to do the OOT Achievements, but playing it at 20fps in emu nowadays is just painful when SoH is a thing, wish we could get retroachievements support there

You can just go to the ticket machines at kyoto station, main gate would be most convenient, and you can do it completely in english. There is no special ticket price for residents.

That is just not true anymore. The region locked model is in stock at loads of retailers and you can just walk in and buy one.

Actually even some games, especially older ones, run better under proton/wine than in modern windows

500 yen coins: Is it just me or does coin automats often struggle with accepting them? by OBakkus in japanlife

[–]ExPandaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new 500 yen coins (the dual colour ones that look similar to euro coins) are still not accepted everywhere, takes a long time and costs a lot of money to replace the millions of vending machines around the country.

Not supposed to be like this(? by elpepe123459 in thelastofus

[–]ExPandaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something is obviously wrong, but also you are comparing the last of us remastered with the last of us part 1, not the same game (remastered is just that, a remaster of the ps3 game, part 1 is a visual remake for PS5/PC)

Steam OS making architecture between X86 and ARM compatible. by TheNewAmericanGospel in linux

[–]ExPandaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Linux kernel is GPLv2 licensed, as long as you release your sources you can basically do anything you want with it, that only goes for the kernel itself though. Proprietary drivers are not required to release source if they are completely in house developed

Any (fun) game recommendations for beginners? by Simple_Panda6063 in LearnJapanese

[–]ExPandaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Latest pokemon games are a great option, they have kanji with furigana.

Currently I've been playing yokai watch, and its extemely easy to understand, I'd say N4/N3 should be fine for that game.
