You are missing the most important issue. It only runs on Windows!

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

So in theory.. you can not even play single-player campaign because of kernel level anti-cheat + internet connection. Even if Wine/Proton would allow you to start the game.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

What a shame. But to be expected..

melroy,

Not fully true. Yes a lot of games run on Windows.. But a lot of them also run on Linux, in some cases even Native, in other cases using Wine/Proton from Valve. See: https://www.protondb.com/

A lot of online pvp games do work under Linux as well. But then again.. AAA games are the most problematic.. because they just stuck, and get ignored by the devs/publishers. I'm looking at you EA!

I suppose we just have to hope the air conditioner doesn't suddenly hit us with a BSOD!

I'm pretty sure they do already have AI integration on the latest models..

It’s official: EA is selling to private equity in $55 billion deal (arstechnica.com) angielski

Friday’s reports that Electronic Arts planned to go private were publicly confirmed Monday morning. Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners will join together to pay an estimated $55 billion for the video game mega-publisher in a deal being described as the “largest...

Well EA is done now. It was already down hill, bad Linux support.

EA is now fully over.

They do have the license for wrc and I don't like it.

First EA killed all the good developers/publishers like Codemasters.. Maxis. Visceral. Criterion. Black Box.

ANd now they will be sold to a private investors..? What the hack.. EA is dead to me already.

Ah yes Westwood! Much love ❤️.
EA BTW confirmed it, EA is now sold.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

OK ok.. Does it run on Linux?

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

OK that sounds promising. It's not like EA which will break Linux on every game due to kernel level anti-cheat.

Day 382 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing angielski

Today’s game is Halo 3! A few months ago a friend picked up Halo MCC on Sale to play with our usual Halo group, and we resolved to play through the campaign together. We played Reach as a group of 4, then me and the friend played Halo 1 together, Halo 2 Co-Op had some issues though and he had to play by himself (we think it...

He actually tried to buy up the whole landfill so he can continue to search. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli

And still searching to this day and trying to buy the whole landfill: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli

That would indeed be funny. So he can just move on with his life and move on.

Please be sure to sign it if you are from the EU. We might need 1.4 million signatures, since some people signed from outside the EU. And those will not count.

I can't agree more with you! Nfs hot pursuit was the best. I'm talking nfs from 1998.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

You know there is a modern patch? You can still play this game today. Apply the modern patch by VEG. And you can play widescreen and other fixes.

People still play it today, even multiplayer see also the telegram group: https://t.me/classicnfs

I don't know if people play multiplayer online with pcsx2.

He also dropped other perks you can try to pick up, if you have enough inventory place left.

There is still a GPU shortage, but they just blamed Covid. Before they blamed crypto. Now they blame AI.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The vendors should stop calling it GPUs if its not used as a GPU. AI workloads are not GPU, cryptomining are not GPU. Nvidia and alike should create a different name for it. Nvidia H100 for example is still called GPU, but it has nothing to do with a normal GPU you and I use.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

that is also fine. Or just call it "AI cards" when these chips are obviously meant from AI interference workloads.

Most unrelated thread of the month!

So I'm playing games like age of empires. But also open source alternatives like 0ad using lan. Works great!

I'm talking the old school age of empires and age of mythology games btw.

Next, there are also good need for speed games like need for speed 3 hot pursuit from 1998. Which works very well via lan.

Maybe red alert also works, or open source alternatives like OpenRA. And then we have games like Planetary annihilation, which also have lan feature.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Skill issue.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Also try 0ad for the people who like age of empires games. It's free and open source.

@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

It was indeed just 1 pyramid haha

@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Correct. Nishiura said that emulators are not illegal. Depending on how it is used ;P

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Indeed

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Yes via Wine/Proton it should work.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

That is impossible in software. Even if it was written in Rust ;P

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Thanks. But it doesn't matter who you will hire.

Why are $70 AAA games slashing prices so drastically? (lemmy.world) angielski

It’s beyond insane to me that a $70 “AAAA” game (kidding, it’s AAA) dips down to the absurd price of $5. I’ve never seen anything like it. Wish the entire Sims 4 “collection” if you can call it that was $5 total, would be incredible, or Starfield.

"You own nothing and be happy", right?

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

They mean grab by now buying it and you will keep it on Steam. But it will be unavailable for users after late December to buy it.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

ya I do agree, we shouldn't reward them by taking games away. Let's just go to 1337x
