Recently started up a new terraria world, this time I’m doing the eternity mode from the Fargo’s Souls mod. It’s damn hard…

Still on X4, over 150h in now. Got a small fleet of destroyer ships and “conquered” a sector that was originally Xenon owned (Tharkas Demise I think, north of Hatkivah Choice). The problem is that they keep sending fighters and, once in a while, a destroyer - the latter WILL destroy 1 or 2 of my destroyers if I’m not manually piloting one of them

I’m finishing my parential leave, so most of my time is dedicated to being with my kid. But whenever there is time, I will be delving into Oblivion.

As you rightly point out, both IPS screens and OLED screens (plus related technologies) have their problems. Unfortunately, IPS still has that glow effect and OLD risks burn-in for productivity work. Since there is no readily-available technology that fixes both of these issues, you will ultimately have to consider what you value more and make a compromised decision. Take a look at comparison articles (example linked here is authored by one of the people from Hardware Unboxed) to see what they recommend within various categories of monitors.

I have an LG 38GN950-B, 1600p Ultrawide, IPS, 144Hz, and really like it.

For productivity, I think Ultrawide is great. WFH on this is really nice.

For gaming, it’s kinda hit-and-miss. Many games just don’t support UW, so you’re stuck with black bars or have to mess around with mods, fixes or tools. While not a dealbreaker, when I upgrade in a couple of years, I’ll probably just go back to 16:9, because of that.

IPS glow is there, but not really noticeable. I’m usually in a well-lit room, so that cancels out any glow I could notice out anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ec76d781-a916-4cfe-98e8-ea24552c20e1.pngso so far i’ve been doing good though I am having issues with either not enough good products or too much products from the industry and I am unsure how to fix that I’ve changed the roads to maximize traffic remade a few areas made the farming industry bigger and the new forest industry I wanna like be able to morein there though I am unsure how to like expand the city without huge traffic issues and I wanna make a piece of my city down for the ships and to expand the farm and then go to the sand part for tourism if anyone has ideas or views it would be appreciated

Seems to be going nicely so far. One thing I can suggest is to make sure not to expand too quickly. It’s tempting but can lead to serious issues down the line (just in general, not that you’re doing so).

Other than that, keep an eye on your public transport and change/improve as necessary - doing so will save you a lot of rebuilding. Traffic wise, a large central road with smaller streets branching out to various districts is usually the way to go. Also put your commercial and office zones near the bigger streets, housing on the smaller ones (can’t really see how it works in your map so this is just a general suggestion).

Oh! I haven’t played in a while and don’t remember if this is a thing but see if there’s an option to hide district policies before taking screenshots - all those icons add a lot of noise and make it harder to see the layout of certain spots.

City looks good. Time to devlop the water front area. A nice quay with a bike path and park then medium density buildings is what I like. I dont like putting builds right up next to the water.

The suburbs are good you could run a 4-6 lane road in the middle of them and have the traffic flow onto that.

Oisann,

well most roads are now like 6 lanes cause of the traffic though I wanna like create a tourism attraction on the coast of the river though I am unsure how to got any pointers?

The only thing I don’t like is the performance: It stutters ever so often and crashes like once every hour after a loading screen.

Weird thing is that it ran way better at the beginning and then got worse, now even the menu is laggy.

Yermaw, do games w Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread)

I’m disappointed with it, but that’s my problem. I can’t put my finger on why, I think my expectations have changed. Somehow I was expecting it to blow me away like the first time I played it and obviously it just can’t do that.

Still gonna sink a fair few hours into it though.

RowRowRowYourBot, do games w Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread)

Has anyone played this on the Steam deck yet?

DoucheBagMcSwag,

According to Reddit you get 15-20 fps when I’m lowest settings that make it look worse than the 2008 game

RowRowRowYourBot,

oof, thanks

See my reply to this user above, but yea don’t bother buying it if you only have the Steam Deck. Cheaper and a better experience to buy the original on GOG.

You always have the option to get a full refund within the first 2 hours of gameplay on Steam though, if you want to see the performance for yourself.

RowRowRowYourBot,

The original sold by Steam doesn’t work on the deck so Im not sure GoG’s version will

madame_gaymes,
@madame_gaymes@programming.dev avatar

GOG version runs great for me. I just installed via Lutris using Proton Experimental, no problems to speak of while playing so far.

RowRowRowYourBot,

Then I’ll have to look into that thanks!

I will say, I’m running in Desktop mode and using keyboard+mouse. Presumably controller works, but I haven’t actually tried in handheld mode.

I can confirm, even trying several different combos of optimizer mods, plus running the resolution at 1280x720, it stutters like crazy as soon as you get out of the initial area surrounding the Imperial City and looks like dogshit because of everything at low or lowest.

Baldur’s Gate 3 with almost 100 mods (including optimizers), and similar upscaling settings at 1920x1080 in Desktop mode, runs smoother and looks better on the Steam Deck.

Since the remaster is literally using the same game logic as the original, I ended up just installing the GOG version of the GOTY edition, installed a bunch of mods, and it runs amazing. I don’t think I’m missing much in the way of changes/improvements.

I like the remaster, it plays much better than the original of course. The graphics at first were really sluggish/choppy, but i found disabling the steam overlay fixed it for me.
