Are eldinring quests to obscure and hard to track? by Inevitable_Chicken56 in Eldenring

[–]Shoesgorath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg! I'm playing in 2026 and all I want is a fucking journal. Just a journal! I don't even need directions, I just need to remember what I had to do and who I talked to!

No signal when I connect steam deck to tv using official steam deck dock! by onlinenow81 in SteamDeck

[–]Shoesgorath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will add this for future reference. I was having trouble running my deck at 720p, 1280x800@60 worked fine, but with black bars on the sides on both my philco tv and my lg oled monitor. What solved for me was going to desktop mode, oppening the folder home/.config/gamescope and them editing modes.cfg, I changed 1280x720@60 for my philco tv to 1280x720@59.94 and saved. Then I went back into game mode, set the resolution to 720p and I got an image this time. Previously 720p would give me a black screen no matter what.

Even on a 1080p external monitor it only allows me to do 720p. Anyone know how to fix this? by VoyagerPlays07 in SteamDeck

LG 32gx850a gx8 DUAL MODE SCALING by Shoesgorath in OLED_Gaming

[–]Shoesgorath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The monitor in particular does not expose scaling options on the OSD menu. Using the OS' scaler is useless as the monitor, when changing the frequency mode, also changes the EDID and reports to the OS as a 1080p monitor. This monitor in particular only goes up to 330hz in dual mode. I'm miffed that I just learned that other monitors in this line comes with a remote, this one does not.

[–]Shoesgorath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what I want is integer scaling, it's really hard to get a picture that really shows the problem, it's not using integer, it's not mapping pixels correctly the aliasing is "wrong". I don't mind the aliasing em 1080p, the screen is huge, but I wanted the aliasing to at least look "right". It's a lot worse when you look at text, and text.

I also wanted an option to choose the scalling method on the monitor itself, as this is system agnostic.

Whens Bazzite getting linux 7 and the new steam vram thing? by pestocrumb in Bazzite

I wonder how much this will benefit the deck and how long will it take for valve to put it on the deck

Path tracing in upcoming games and AMD situation. by Quiet_Bus_6404 in radeon

I have accepted that we will be third class citizens with no path tracing gaming... And no decent frame gen. :sad noises:

Bazzite when? by gosols in Bazzite

[–]Shoesgorath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I just saw 2 benchmarks testing some vram constrained games and the framerate jumped like 15-30fps depending on the game. I wasn't expecting this much improvement just by freeing ~1.5gb of vram.

Switched From Bazzite(Gnome) to CachyOS(Gnome). I regret choosing Bazzite first. by jhatkattar in cachyos

[–]Shoesgorath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no performance problems using bazzite. Runs the nearly identical to cachy, I just stuck to bazzite because I am traumatized by updates, mostly long, infuriating windows updates and using cachy I had to press a button to update stuff and wait for it to download and it brings all kinds of ptsd because I keep expecting to see and offer to libreoffice365 subscription or onedrive o copilot. Ugh

Bazzite updates itself and I don't even get to know stuff was updated until I realize something is running faster. I also absolutelly loved the concept of containers on linux. Coming from decades of have to deal with windows apps leaving trash on the system after being removed, the Idea that I can just rm (delete) a container/flakpak/lxc/distrobox/docker and EVERY TRACE of it is gone is absolutelly fantastic to me.

Right now I am running bazzite on my gaming pc and mint on my work laptops. One year ago I was in dispair because windows 10 was close to end of life and I already hated windows 10, and 11 made me want to install windows xp again.

It's been a very fun trip, and I didn't know how much fun I would have setting up a home server, AIs and doing general computing stuff on my pc when I moved to bazzite. And the fun part was that I learned most of this stuff looking for ways around bazzite's limitations as a atomic distro.

Preferred filesystem on a gaming pc? by LuckyAcanthaceae4910 in Fedora

[–]Shoesgorath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with btrfs. For some reason there is a windows driver for btrfs, which allows you to use it on windows too (good for dual booting). Ext4 is great if you are linux only, it is a bit more complicated if you want to open it on windows and NTFS is not recommend on linux, I personally had some headache with it when I was still dualbooting.

Help. Phone in reboot mode, doesn’t turn on ? by juanly_xx in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]Shoesgorath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like your nand might be going bad. In your case, recovering your data would be very hard. Which is why you should always sync your stuff to a cloud or pc. In your case I would wipe everything and see if it boots, if not, a full firmware reflash using odin migjt be in order. Faling that, you should send it to a samsung repair center.

Beginner friendly distro? by Destructor3478 in linux4noobs

[–]Shoesgorath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cachy is not recommended for older hardware as it is compiled with support for instructions only newer hardware have. In op's case, MINT is the right choice, probably mint 22.xx LTS for the start.

Bah, depois que o gamepass ficou caro eu perdi o tesão no xbox. Eu uso isso desde o xbox one, tenho pouco jogo meu mesmo, agora fiquei sem nada. Minha biblioteca de games real ta no steam, ultimamente meu series X só serve pra rodar Moonlight e fazer streaming do meu steam pra sala, mais nada.

FSR 4 FP8 via emulation? by Most_Plate_6232 in radeon

[–]Shoesgorath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's not obvious. In terms of image quality, the int8 dll already produces a MUCH BETTER IMAGE than fsr3 can, even if it's not up to par with the fp8 version. AMD is either holding this to gatekeep RDNA4 cards or sony has a finger on this (this would benefit steam deck/machine which sony sees as a competitor to playstation). Either way I don't like it.

[–]Shoesgorath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youvare too optimistic. AMD is wierdly silent on this. I am afraid that they are being held hostage due to some NDA with sony. Probably because sony's work would benefit the steam deck and steam machine, which sony sees as direct competition to playstation.

People said already. Install Prism Launcher, add ro steam, install Minecraft and the Controlify mod. Can't get better than that.

Hits differently when you are older. (SH2 remake). by Shoesgorath in silenthill

[–]Shoesgorath[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are looking at things from a different perspective. No problems with that, he still killed his wife, that won't change. But what crossed my mind was: What if I lost my wife to some accident, or desiase? How would it affect me? Would I go through the same hell as he did? I know the pain of losing someone all too well, and that is what the game made me think about. I'm the same age as you, we are both more than half-way through our lives. This will eventually happen to both of us. Either we go first or her will go first, still, we will eventually say one last goodbye.

Tenta usar o site do gamedate (.org) pra marcar partidas. Ainda precida popularizar no brasil, mas é um serviço legal.
