Is HDR generally unavailable on Linux right now? I primarily game on a Windows desktop but I’m considering trying to make my next build in a few years the equivalent of a “Steam Deck Console” but I’ve been trying to anticipate issues that might make it too limited or frustrating to use.

Digital Foundry - Redfall's 60fps patch works - but this isn't the redemption story we were hoping for (www.eurogamer.net)

“Assuming Arkane will continue development, clearly there are many areas for technical improvement, with some annoying visual glitches, oversights and outright bugs remaining in the updated code. I’m not sure that any amount of patching will make Redfall a truly good game, but Arkane has at least delivered the performance...

I’ve got such a backlog of good games that I haven’t played. Who has any time to play shit ones?

This term has been used for a long time but it’s largely irrelevant these days since games are patched continuously, sometimes with extremely large day one patches. It used to make more sense in the old days because it meant the game was complete and ready to ship.

Starfield players are being haunted by asteroids (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

Over the weekend, Starfield players began to share reports of a strange paranormal infestation. There are asteroids in the game that, for reasons known only to gods and/or programmers, follow you from orbit to orbit, flying eerily in formation with your ship, and sometimes even accompanying you to a planet's surface. "In one of...

I’m having memories of Bethesda getting trains to work in Fallout 3 by making an NPC wear a train as a hat and then run really fast.

Is it worth it at $4 if I just want Marvel beat em up like Ultimate Alliance that looks better than UA3 on the Switch?

Here’s to hoping that a PC release isn’t too far off.

People keep telling me that PC gaming is expensive and yet I pay no subscription fees and have plenty of choice for which storefront to purchase from so game prices tend to stay low outside a few exceptions.

Same here. I bought a PS4 late in its lifecycle to catch up and then was amazed when they started bringing stuff to PC. I’ve really been missing out on some PS5 titles but I’d be much happier to play them on PC. I think I’ll probably be waiting a while for Spider-Man 2 as well.

I think companies tend to overvalue support and undervalue software freedom. You get developer lock-in once people are trained on closed software, then they start squeezing you for every dime because they know it’s too expensive to migrate.

The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis' next social simulation. During today's latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without...

With Sims 4 already being F2P this announcement just means they are once again going to resell the same content back to you at a premium. Piecing up their game even more.

The engine has had the same goofy problems for years and years now. That probably has something to do with it.

Don’t these places keep their own source?

It’s easy to lose track of important files when years go by with lots of employee turnover and migrating data across servers or to the cloud.

I’m a sysadmin and more than once I’ve had to shut down a file server just to find out what is still important when someone comes looking for it.

[Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 reportedly uses Nvidia's DLSS to boost frame rates (www.pcgamer.com) angielski

Interestingly, the demo was apparently running ray traced visuals, and was utilising Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) in order to offer playable frame rates that will make enabling such fancy effects actually worthwhile.

target consistent 60fps

I’ve been saying this for like four console generations at this point and they always end up aiming for ~30fps.

Someone probably heard ‘Crisp Ratt’ and thought “Oh, perfect for Daxter, he’s already a rat.”

If I’m already using Jackett with Sonarr/Radar and don’t really have any problems with it, should I still consider trying Prowlarr? What is it doing differently?

Steam Deck VS rivals

I was interested in buying a Steam Deck… Until I discovered all the (apparently) better alternatives. Asus Rog Ally, OneXPlayer, Aya Neo etc… I like the idea of an handheld console and obviously I would like to have a device that can run almost everything, so the Windows based handhelds seem better than the Steam Deck. Is it...

Additionally, power costs battery to actually use it. Sometimes it’s better to opt for lower settings anyway if you’re going to play on the go.

Games that sell things like XP boosts always swear the game is balanced around not requiring them but there is always some grindy shit. Just play all this boring filler content for 90 hours.

“REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NEVER DO THAT” - FromSoft games

At least Elden Ring added a “Quit to Desktop” option. Any games before that… no you have to exit back to the title screen and be subjected to several seconds of extremely loud gothic chanting before you’re allowed to exit the game. God help you if your network connection is down because it will try to connect to the network for an entire minute before it fails and lets you exit.

This is definitely one of the things I originally didn’t like about Souls games that have come to realize is a pretty cleverly designed mechanic. Earning enough souls to purchase something shouldn’t take very long and it if is, then it means you already have what you need to be succeeding in your current area. The ‘git gud’ joke is worn out, but genuinely you just need to learn how to face off with enemies (or run past them) until they stop being scary.

The game will not let you progress without learning how to engage with the systems it presents to you. There are typically several or many viable strategies, you just have to figure out what works for you.

By the time you’re dragging yourself through a toxic poison swamp you’ll realize that your level is just a number and nothing lasts forever.

I agree with fishing mini games, it’s almost never anything like actual fishing, but some sort of weird experience that requires a combination of precise timing, button mashing or both.

That being said I think it’s insane to me that Nintendo crammed a fishing mini game in basically every Zelda game except for BotW and TotK, the two games where it would actually make sense. I just wanna chill and throw out a line. It’s every other zelda game where I just did the minimum amount required to get a bottle or whatever I needed.

Death Stranding 100% gets this right, although it’s a bit weird in the end-game when your optimal choice is typically some combination of vehicles and ziplines.

Paying attention to the elevation, pathing around rocks and trying to stay level is a lot more fun than it sounds. Some of the best moments in that game it just lets some chill music play while you carefully walk from A-B and it’s a ton of fun the whole time.

Then you finally reach your destination and the story feels almost entirely detached from the walking experience and characters with the dumbest names imaginable explain some made up bullshit to you for 45 minutes.

I’m pretty tuned into gaming news, and although I haven’t owned an Xbox since the 360 era I still keep an eye on gaming console hardware. I have no clue at all which Xbox is which. This naming convention is even worse than the ill-fated ‘Wii-U’.

At least with the PlayStation I know the bigger number is newer and the pro version is better than the non-pro and that slim means small.

I sympathize with the moms and grandmas of the world trying to shop for the Xbox gamers in their life. It’s a minefield of confusing names.
