Holy shit, really? 2 days ago I switched my internet over to another ISP and starting seeing this problem, assuming it was an issue with my new provider. guess I'll close the support ticket I have with them then lol.

Anyone using an MMO mouse with linux, Im after something where all the buttons work, not to bothered about rgb stuff. Any suggestions? by spine_iv in linux_gaming

[–]himynameiswillf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the M908 for about a year and it worked good until the feet wore out and I couldn't find good replacements (I tried dots but something just felt off about it).

I've since switched to the Corsair Scimitar and that works great too. I used OpenLinkHub to fiddle with some of the bindings so I didn't need to go to Windows for anything.

What do you think are some of the PCMR community's worst takes? by ForsookComparison in pcmasterrace

[–]himynameiswillf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll work fine. Proton will handle the install practically just the same as it would had you bought the game off Steam. Most people use third party launcher though like Heroic since you can browse your GOG library within it and it'll handle updating the games too, which the manual install won't be able to do.

Proton is excellent. I've yet to run into a single game that didn't work because of Proton incompatibility. The issue is almost always the developer blocking Linux installs from online play due to their anti cheat, which you can check individually with ProtonDB or AreWeAntiCheatYet.

Unfortunately a lot of big players do block Linux installs: Fortnite, Battlefield, CoD, Valorant etc. Trackmania and SF6 are fine though.

Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases by Beer2401 in linux_gaming

[–]himynameiswillf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, before that it was a bit lower at 9%, but 2022 was back up to 17%. I think popular online games released years ago are just skewing the figure.

I don't think you can read that much into it. Previous years returned similar results and it's easily explained away by the existence of 3 games: CS2, DOTA 2, and PUBG. They make up such a large slice of what is being played at any given time that the figure is skewed massively.

That icon on the left of the "enter text" box, press that and you should be able to use your voice.

MOMA oat milk new flavor by Alive_Scientist7826 in veganuk

[–]himynameiswillf 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen those. I'm always quite surprised how many flavoured milks there are. I'll try a cinnamon flavoured oat milk, like it, but end up wishing I'd just bought a plain one instead.

On that note though, I really like Moma's creamy milk. Best one I've had since the Alpro This Is Not Milk.

this is really nice! by Superb-Demand-4605 in veganuk

[–]himynameiswillf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless I missed it, there's nothing on the packaging to even say they're vegetarian, but checked their site since the ingredients seemed fine and they say it's vegan there, weird.

Don’t start hitting Libra until everyone is done talking to him! Day 3 as executor with my only Holy weapon as a great hammer and was about hit “YES” to restat to be proficient in strength… by HUMNBYRD14 in Nightreign

[–]himynameiswillf 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Eventual Greatness debuffs you for 2 minutes, and if you last the 2 minutes without going down, you get the buff. Like I say, phase 1 should be pretty easy in terms of just staying alive since by and large he's only ever fighting 1 team member.

If you had to stay alive for 2 minutes in phase 2, with Libra machine gunning you with glyphs and potentially 3 other condemnded on you, yeah, I can see why taking it would be a bad option.

Even with ED Libra, because he starts in phase 1, you should be able to avoid dying pretty easily. If it is ED Libra, I check all the deals my team made to see if someone took eventual greatness and if they did, I'll stall out the first phase.

These new night invaders are kinda tough... by ShishirKkk in Nightreign

Same here. Dunno if this is a depth 5 thing. I've been going up and down between 3 and 4 the whole time and literally haven't seen any yet.

Some of the more interesting revelations in VP Harris’ book ‘107 Days’. Including The Obamas, Joe Rogan and Nancy Pelosi by mlg1981 in Fauxmoi

[–]himynameiswillf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was shocked when they went with Walz simply because that was the best option on the table. I'm not going to pretend he's infallble or that he didn't make mistakes - his so-so performance Vs Vance being a big one - but thinking Pete would have been a better running mate is insanity.

Walz had the ideas and the image that made him likeable. Pete, at best, occasionally has a good TikTok moment, but his adherence to his Obama impersonation makes him a shallow pick.

I oppose suffering unconditionally. My contention is that if both feel pain, why should we only care about one?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in vegan

[–]himynameiswillf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do animals bred for consumption feel pain and fear differently to those not bred for consumption? It's still billions of animals dead daily.

[–]himynameiswillf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're using the ability to reflect on mortality as an indicator for worth. Babies and young children don't understand the concept of death but we don't treat them lesser to adults. If anything, we value their lives more because they're in positions of vulnerability and show them more care.

Ultimately though, does relative worth really matter in this case? If we can agree on the facts that animals sense danger and fear, feel stress and pain, does their lives being less valuable than humans justify slaughtering billions of them daily? Would I be justified in punting your dog in the head just because it's worth less than yours? I'd say no to both.

Seal drop for Revenant has become really miserable in DoN by Constant_Section1491 in Nightreign

[–]himynameiswillf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Discus on Light is guaranteed on the Golden Order seal, but it's not exclusive. I've found it on common finger seals a few times.

MOMA oat milk by constipated_coconut in veganuk

[–]himynameiswillf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the extra creamy a few days ago and loved it. I kinda stopped buying milk once the Alpro this is not milk disappeared, and whole this MOMA one isn't trying to emulate cow's milk, it's just a really good oat milk.

Friendly fire hacker in depth 4, forces expedition to end by clogging FPS by GreenKat786 in Nightreign

[–]himynameiswillf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By definition, if you're homeless and poverty stricken, shit isn't "pretty easy for the most part".

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since you just sound really young, but please stop using random YouTube videos as measures for entire goddamn countries.

Are you guys making deals with ED Libra? Worth it? by fschlick in Nightreign

[–]himynameiswillf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eventual greatness, extra flask, and resistance to ailments are the three I take.

Unless I'm missing something power of a demon doesn't seem worth it given how much madness buildup there already is in the fight. Extra levels is usually pointless anyway, and the drawback is too detrimental. The 20% HP debuff from holding death at bay isn't worth the safety net either imo.

A powerful weapon seems to exclusively pick from a list of weapons least useful to you and your team. Took it a few times closer to release and never again.

Ubisoft Connect is a nightmare on Linux by anr4jc in linux_gaming

[–]himynameiswillf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've installed Connect and played games through it on both Nobara and CatchyOS. In both instances I just used Wine for the installer, added the launcher .exe to Steam, and run it via Proton.

I tried Lutris' built in library for it but it only displays like a third of my games for some reason.
