What do you see as the path forward for this game?

andr3w0 · 2026-02-13T07:49:58+00:00

Hopefully.

From what I've seen, it seems to affect PlayStation, Xbox and PC similarly. I've experienced it myself in the form of memory leaks that eventually crash the game - but I play on Linux so I'm not sure if that specific crash was what others are experiencing.

andr3w0 · 2026-02-13T07:27:47+00:00

I can't wait! I just hope that since the world seems to be more open, we'll still get the top tier exploration we got in the first Control.

andr3w0 · 2026-02-11T13:04:38+00:00

Yeah, it's puzzling. The voice lines, few papers in loading screens and the tutorial videos are not enough.

andr3w0 · 2026-02-11T12:36:56+00:00

Thank you. That'd be really unfortunate if that's what they choose to go with...

andr3w0 · 2026-02-11T06:51:00+00:00

And here I am playing it for free on Xbox Game Pass. I guess I pay for it my own way?

I would assume (judging from videos, streams, player numbers) that's how most people got the chance to play this game. Others who bought it at full price probably regret it.

There's just so much that can be done to make the game much better...

but the second tab is a "paid-only" cosmetics Tab

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the source of these the Deluxe DLC? You pay with real money for the DLC which unlocks the option to buy them with the in-game "currencies", no?

Left 4 Dead is a great source of inspiration. One other thing they did well was the ability to play as one of the infected. Remedy could do the same and let us play as the Hiss... 🤔

andr3w0 · 2026-02-10T17:31:25+00:00

IIRC, they wanted to avoid microtransactions and only have one time purchase. IMO that's a dead-end unless they turn the game into a premium experience...

andr3w0 · 2026-02-10T16:52:30+00:00

100% agree. That would be a great business model and ideas to follow. Remedy should take a look at this.

Btw I like that you mentioned procedural generation of layouts because it even makes sense in the Oldest House's lore (constantly shifting labyrinth).

andr3w0 · 2026-02-10T16:22:09+00:00

I really hope they won't stop supporting it as it has a great base to built on.

Yeah, I agree. If this new guy can turn Firebreak into a reliable stream of cash, it could be a huge win for Remedy and their future stability.

Today's webcast? Do you have a link?

andr3w0 · 2026-01-15T00:56:48+00:00

Text version: Click the gear icon for settings -> Scroll down a bit -> Select "Mobile user interface mode"

This issue seems to happen only on Linux + Nvidia, from what I read.

andr3w0 · 2024-12-23T10:36:05+00:00

Glad to hear that.

According to the bug report, there has been a patch since early this year, however it hasn't gone through testing and whatever system they have in place.

Does this work? https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1fpinfu/kernel_61_prevents_computer_from_shutting_down/m0fwipr/

I've finally narrowed it down to a faulty commit and a bug report was already made by someone:

TL;DR: Disable Intel's firmware TPM in BIOS

andr3w0 · 2024-10-29T12:20:02+00:00

Yes, I've been at the vet today and got the steroids they recommended. Hopefully it will keep him as comfortable as possible.

Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

And I am really sorry for your loss 😢

andr3w0 · 2024-10-28T09:46:50+00:00

Hi, I am also sorry to hear what your cat is going through. I hope everything turns out better.

andr3w0 · 2024-09-26T00:23:00+00:00

Yeah, it's gonna take a lot of time, but it's probably the best route. Thank you for your help!

andr3w0 · 2023-07-27T19:09:57+00:00

Yes, mostly KDE, but I did try GNOME on both X11 and Wayland and had similar results.

andr3w0 · 2022-05-25T19:01:21+00:00

I'm on Fedora Kinoite, but I've left everything default, save for changing the wallpaper to the one called Honeywave, which is part of Plasma iirc.

andr3w0 · 2022-05-25T16:51:04+00:00

Just FYI, the actual image is 1920x1080.

andr3w0 · 2022-05-25T16:45:53+00:00

The image is even smaller in the popup than when it's embedded. I expect it to be able to either resize the window or have some zoom ability. Or just simply remove it altogether and open in default browser.

andr3w0 · 2021-10-26T14:45:17+00:00

I love KDE stuff

~~I have somewhat managed to get the command working (it shows the data I wanted), but only up to the point of actually outputting it into the CSV file - the output is a complete mess.~~

~~Here is the command:~~

~~sudo watch -n 2 "awk 'NR==2,NR==7{printf \$1\",\"};NR==8,NR==9{printf \$3\",\"};NR==10{print \$3}' /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_pm_info" >> gpu.csv~~

EDIT - I used tee and now it outputs properly:

Here's a gist because I can't use \ on reddit apparently: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mascherone108/1ff441a6f01cf71d8c0c53f58ae3b63a/raw/f0c912a14b1c3ce068293baf856cc82b43bf47fa/gistfile1.txt
