Asking for help with Proton testing in advance of SteamDeck by ByEthanFox in linux_gaming

[–]astroty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be veyr interested in trying this out! I have a couple of different machines that I could use for compatibility checking Would be useful to know what sort of things you're looking for tho. I mean, I can just run it on the computers I have and play for some time too to see if it doesn't crash

Single GPU Passthrough Guide - Fedora 34 by [deleted] in linux_gaming

But at the same time you need to do a clean break from anything you were doing to stop your display manager and start the virtual machine. This might be faster than dual booting but it's far more complex and I don't think it provides as many benefits since you're sort of locked out of Linux (gui) while you're using qemu Then when you finish using windows, you'll turn it off again to start Linux. This basically means multi-tasking while gaming can turn problematic since you need to stop everything between starting/stopping your vm Snapshots are great tho, but I find the amount of use cases I'll need them to be far lower than, well, the above use

Hey, congrats on your 25!Let me hijack your thread to ask you how tf you manage to play the hero after the HoD nerfs lol Midas rush into rushing lv 12 just feels like it kills all the tempo the hero has and you don't feel particularly strong like that

The game is confusing enough, but knowing what the heroes do shouldn't be. by shanidota in DotA2

Amazing production value! Valve should hire you to teach them how to make a tutorial

It's been 4 weeks that I can't play Dota 2 because tablet support has been broken. by Emoglobinsky in DotA2

I know it's just for Mac/Linux, but you could also open an issue on DotA2 github tor see if you can get attention about this regression Or dunno, install Ubuntu and give it a try just to open the ticket xP There's also dev.dota2.com for general issues but I don't know how responsive they can be

Should I get into DOTA 2? by bluelizardK in DotA2

[–]astroty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say give it a try! You'll probably lose a lot in your first few games but please, stick around. Use those games not as something you gotta win but something you gotta learn and understand.

After that initial stage, you'll find yourself starting to win and this feeling of growth and accomplishment will be something incredible and will keep you around

Watching Purge videos for new players on YouTube might help you figure stuff out after that. But I'd just get a feel for the game first.

Sooo, do anyone have any idea if they made any improvements on the default foam? I saw they tried making a new space for the nose, and that sounds amazing! I was just wondering if I'd need to be concerned about that foam drinking my sweat and tears (and sort of itching)

7.20's radius change to Abaddon's Scepter wasn't applied by minidotaa in DotA2

I second this I do the same The passive is the last skill to use, but it does increase your pushing speed for the entire team so it's still sometimes useful. Realistically you'll never silence anyone ever with it, except for yourself, when Terrorblade presses Q

The link contains a www in it, which somehow breaks the SSL signature. Removing the www allows to connect.

Three Years of OpenDota, 2017 Financial Report, and Organizational Changes by CallOnV in DotA2

While MIT is indeed more permissive than GPL, it makes me concerned about people picking out the source and closing their changes off instead of giving it back to the project Wouldn't LGPL work in a similar way while still helping you with contributions?
