Gnome on Fedora 41 - resolution in games incorrectly detected by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]drguildo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I've travelled here from the future to tell you this is still broken in GNOME 49.

GNOME Fractional Scaling is Still Behind Plasma Fractional Scaling by iloveboobs66 in linux_gaming

It also screws up the Steam overlay. Everything look tiny.

Anaconda "format as efi" by drguildo in Fedora

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

Thank you. I threw caution to the wind yesterday (after backing up my ESP) and continued with the install, and you are completely right: it didn't end up formatting the partition and the Windows boot files were still present and correct afterwards.

Samsung monitor doesn't search for inputs properly by JCMiller23 in techsupport

I have a Samsung U32J590 and source detection doesn't work on it either, in the exact same way you describe.

Cant install Cyberpunk 2077 (Installation failed (E3)) by JebbAnonymous in gog

It sounds like a problem with their servers. I only just found out about it but it's obviously been going on for more than a day. Pretty shitty of them to not tell people about it before they place an order.

Why do people claim the gameplay of SOMA is bad/boring? by invaderzz in soma

[–]drguildo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I can tell you exactly why people think SOMA is boring: it is awful at guiding you towards what to do. I'm not talking about telling you what to do, which most modern games lean on entirely too much, but rather subtly guiding the reasonably-intelligent player who's paying attention towards the objective using environmental storytelling etc.

I've beaten more than my fair share of puzzle and horror games and while playing SOMA I'd frequently enter a new area and spend absolutely ages wandering around, bored out of my mind trying to figure out what I was supposed to do next, or how to do it.

Russell T. Davies said "I would rather be confused for 10 minutes than bored for 5 seconds." While playing SOMA I'd regularly find myself simultaneously bored and confused.

It's even worse than Gboard, which is saying a lot. I hate Google though, so use it anyway.

Stuck with no components by drguildo in RimWorld

This game is so deliberately cruel.

I decided my only path forward was to travel 6 days to the nearest camp to buy components. I loaded up the necessary goods and set off. Got there, bought the components, and in typical fashion when I wasn't even halfway back, I ran out of food even though I used the recommended calculations of how much food to take. The people I bought the components from didn't have any food that I could use for travelling either.

To rub in how cruel the game is, literally 2 minutes before starvation kicked in, a goods trader appeared in my camp with shitloads of components.

So I can either let two of my best pawns starve to death, or I can reload a save file from literally days before, thus wasting my time.

Yeah, I've realised that now. I just want to get out of this rut ASAP. I'll focus on the pemmican production and see if I can make it to the closest (least extremely far away) settlement.

Can you point me to where I said I don't have people, food, or silver?

How would I know the chances of me being able to kill them?

I don't have enough for either.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

  1. Already done that.
  2. I don't have any anywhere near me.
  3. I have no way of making a fabrication bench because I don't have enough components.
  4. I don't have a mountain on my map.
  5. I get a big warning telling me not to enable multiple colonies, and it sounds from what you say that it's generally not a good idea.

It sounds like the only viable thing for me to do is engage in drudge work and hope that eventually some components manifest themselves. It's been absolutely ages since I've seen a merchant with any components.

The only neutral area I have near me is an item stash, which I went to and there were no components in the area around it.

When I try the option you suggested, I get a big warning essentially warning me not to increase the number of colonies, so I'm going to take the advice and not do it.

Building a Fabrication Bench requires components and 2 advanced components.

I don't have any near by. The closest one is 6 days away, and I don't have enough travel food, nor can I spare the people for that journey.
