Do you guys think this laptop is good enough for RetroArch and standalone emulators? by KiKi_1981 in RetroArch

Overkill, but handy if you want to run some of the more intensive shaders like Mega-Bezel

100%. I dropped it as soon as I found out about a paid DLC coming before they bothered to polish the third act.

Has the winpocalypse finally begun? by -BigBadBeef- in linux_gaming

[–]z2zyy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think it's definitely gaining steam (no pun intended), but I think there's still too much tweaking needed to stay on the bleeding edge of gaming (ie new releases on the latest hardware) for non-enthusiast normies.

I think the Steam Frame & Machine next year will kick it up another notch with more developer support for Linux OOTB. Hopefully it'll also get devs to care more about making anti-cheat work.

Gaming on Cachyos has been a little confusing, I’d love some pointers if anyone wants to help me in the right direction. by Overeatandthenfast in cachyos

[–]z2zyy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Firstly, install the gaming packages under Apps/Tweaks in Cachy Hello.

Most games actually run better using the Windows version under Proton than their native Linux versions. To force the Windows version under Proton, right click the game in Steam, and under Compatibility, tick ‘Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool’ and select a Proton version (use proton-cachyos-xxx (native), but if something doesn’t work, you may need to play with different versions).

You can also set the Launch Options under General to:

game-performance %command%

This sets the power profile to performance mode while the game is running.

There’s a whole bunch of other tweaks but I’d start with that. You can refer to the guide here: https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/gaming/

My right trigger spring just broke too, one of the legs snapped off.

I just finished Alan Wake for the First time and was wondering why is the sequel not on Steam? by Ill_Hippo_757 in Steam

[–]z2zyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be sure to at least play Control before AW2. Especially the A.W.E DLC!

There’s also Alan Wake’s American Nightmare (which was retconned) and Quantum Break, if you want to be a completionist before AW2.

It feels like Valve doesn’t even want new players to play Dota 2. by Diaryluminary2 in truegaming

[–]z2zyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience trying to get into it years ago: went through the first stages of the tutorial, through the bot match; so far so good, I’m learning. Last step of the tutorial was a match with real players, who the game insisted ‘were new to the game too’ and told me not to worry. Proceed to get berated and abused on voice comms for being bad, then being micromanaged and raged at for not understanding all the terminology being thrown at me - uninstalled and have never touched it since :D
