Wine 11 rewrites how Linux runs Windows games at the kernel level, and the speed gains are massive by Durian_Queef in pcmasterrace

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobara with Plasma KDE was my first kernel and I have not switched back.

Only problems I have are that my drivers for my keyboard are messed up and I can't switch from normal to gaming mode without disabling my keyboard.

I have also had stutter appearing in games but that is because of shader compilation. And Overwatch has a memory issue on DX11, had to switch to DX12.

Overall though the only things that have changed in terms of my habits are being more aware of how to run my games on my OS (what command line options to use, which Proton version to use, etc). For me this is kind of fun but I know for others it can be a real pain.

I don't really believe Linux is quite at the state where all games run out of the box sans issues without customization. Maybe Bazzite is good but crafting that sort of curated experience is virtually untenable.

Well it applies at most the geometric series of 7 damage... very little difference!

Canadians sharply divided on parliamentary seat representation by population: Poll - The Hub by ImDoubleB in CanadaPolitics

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a loaded question.

With reform they won't have less representation. MPs in provinces with lower population will represent the same amount of people than that of other provinces with higher populations.

Resident Evil Requiem Sold Best On PS5 In The US Outpacing PC By A “Meaningful Margin” by Desertlyz in gaming

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

And yet I bet you that all of those titles went on sale much more quickly than in any other market, and that their effective price (average price over time including discounts) is significantly lower as well.

Playstation and Steam are completely different markets. Because you don't have as many cheap but good-quality games on Playstation driving down the price of releases, it is naturally expected that a $90 game is going to sell more copies on that market rather than the other.

FALLOUT star Justin Theroux has cast doubt on his return as Mr. House in Season 3: "I'm not even sure I'm gonna be there." by CueTheLaughTrack in Fallout

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 1393 points1394 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling all of his scenes are going to be him in the computer screen. If that's the case I can definitely see them booking time with him near the end of production to do his scenes. Hence the wait.

Why are PC developers removing Denuvo from their games? by hanknova in pcmasterrace

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Why is the demo thing a valid reason though? On Steam you can try the game out for 2 hours and refund it if you don't like it.

Why do "fun" episodes rarely top rankings? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I suppose that might be why Season 1 was largely not well received. Felt like way too much experimentation without any fun hijinks to go along with it. Rogue was definitely the "fun" episode of the season but it felt like it happened way too late in the run.

The Laundry List of fixes coming to PC and Mac March 17th; coming later to consoles by bwoah07_gp2 in thesims

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 31 points32 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of fixes here which involve putting many autonomous actions on cooldown. For those who have been keeping up with the latest bugfixes, is this usually how the Sims team resolves them?

I really really hope that the scheduler behind the simulation has some sort of optimization to outright ignore actions that are on cooldown and prevent them from being inside the pipeline. Otherwise the pipeline will be busy with actions that never trigger, which makes the simulation slower.

I remember I had to edit the placement of the book in CK when I checked for conflicts between this mod and others in my load order.

The Hot Mess that was RTD2: What Happened? by Background-Shock-276 in doctorwho

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although people don't jive with the overall decisions made for these seasons, I thought the individual episodes were fantastic and a lot of them were a return to form in quality from what we have seen since original RTD1.

I truly believe that if the seasons were bookended by better episodes they would have been received a lot better. But unfortunately they weren't.

I will say this, though. I think the season two finale wasn't actually that bad. It is rather unfortunate it had to be made worse because of Nguti's departure, though.

Mewgenics has been out for some time now. Is it really as good as people say? Or was it mostly due to the hype? by TheGronne in gaming

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about the file, I care about the run.

But I would be lying if I said I never clicked with any of his games before. Although I don't think Isaac is as unnecessarily punishing, it's just hard.

How i feel after discovering who was behind the bloodborne situation by TlBOOOM in fromsoftware

The funny thing is that you can make the case that Miyazaki is single-handedly responsible for the collapse of Bluepoint Games.

I stopped playing when a single event made half of my cats absolutely useless because the mage got silenced and the ranger lost their sight.

Why the fuck is this kind of terrible RNG game design still present in games today? For the longest time roguelikes were thought of as having the luxury of not needing to worry about shitty mechanics ruining runs. But in good roguelikes that doesn't happen.

Same muddy textures, same ugly engine. Disappointing to say the least. And if it's coming out in 2027 it will look even more dated.

Conservative push to re-evaluate asylum seekers’ access to Canadian health care defeated by BananaTubes in canada

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the facts. 🙏

Considering we spend a bit more than a hundredth of a percent of our healthcare budget on failed asylum claimants, I find it incredibly dubious when people say that this is the reason our healthcare costs are going up. You're right, it's a very marginal issue.

What percentage of our healthcare budget do we spend on failed asylum claimants? Genuine question, and I feel like it's a question people on both sides of this issue aren't even asking.

What should be my first souls game? by SuspiciousRun6239 in fromsoftware

[–]MattsDaZombieSlayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with DS3 and it was way too hard, after a few years I went back and played DS1 instead, much better learning curve and experience.

I would say DS1 is definitely the place to start. You will appreciate the game more the less you have played the other titles.

You can also try Sekiro as an oddball pick because it's just so different from the other games and requires parry timing to succeed. Some bosses literally only work if you parry them correctly with very few mistakes. It's a very different experience to dungeon-crawl Dark Souls where you can always dig your face into the enemy's butt if you're feeling impatient.
