With any luck windows won’t continue to allow kernel anti-cheat much longer either. I also assume that sooner or later there may be government action on kernel anti-cheat, since many of the popular games/anti-cheats are Chinese owned. If tiktok spying is enough of a concern to ban the app, it’s a pretty short logical step to being thinking that Chinese companies shouldn’t be allowed to install full access, unremovable backdoors on millions of PCs.
No, because apple’s monopoly doesnt count because they’re upfront about it being a monopoly.
Which is stupid, but that’s how it works apparently
It’s not like the current group of users is perfect either. There’s a lot of circlejerk opinions going around, and I’ve seen being get majorly downvoted for posting factual info that went against the “hivemind” opinion.
Yeah, can’t get market share without games, but it’s hard to get games without marketshare. Proton made sure we have games, now we need marketshare. Once we have marketshare we’ll get more high quality linux native ports (I hope).
Yeah, wine is incredible for preservation. Many older games don’t work on either platform (old windows games on windows, old linux games on linux), but running old windows games through proton usually works great.
Yeah, it’s unfortunately common to have games running better through proton than the native port. We’ve seen a lot of devs drop their linux port recently because the proton version ran better with fewer issues.
Obviously a well executed native linux port is preferable, but a lot of smaller devs have trouble justifying spending a lot of time working out kinks for a linux port if the game already runs great through proton.
I usually just use the deck speakers, but I’m usually playing at home and want to be able to hear what else is happening in the house. If I really need to hear the audio or if I’m using voice chat I usually just use my bluetooth ear buds.
I’m sure if Sony could require that here they would.
It seems cool. I know I don’t have the time to get into a moba (or moba-lite) right now, but I hope it catches on and does well.
I’m sure both are on the to-do list
Sorry, what game is it that you’re talking about?
I looked into it some, and the closest I could find was some biographies say he slept in a bed with his grandnieces to prove his commitment to his vow of chastity. But that was about everything I found that wasn’t just some random people saying he was a rapist without sources.
None of it was super substantial and several reports I saw were directly conflicting (for example one said he forced himself on his wife and it was so bad she would throw up after, the next said he had to force himself to have sex with his wife and that he would throw up after because he was so repulsed by sex).
It seems like he was definitely racist towards South Africans, but most everything on the pedophile/sexual deviant side seems made up or conflicting with no proper sources. Until someone shows me something better I’m inclined to not put any weight into those claims.
I’ve never heard of Ghandi being a pedophile before, do you have any details?
To be honest, I didn’t think accurate depiction was a huge Civ development goal when you have stuff like nuclear Gandhi.
So the reason provided by the dev is:
Why is it called UMU?
An umu is an above-ground oven of hot volcanic stones originating from Samoans. After the stones are heated, the top layer is removed and the food placed on top to heat/cook. We chose the name because Valve’s containerization tool is named pressure-vessel. We’re “preparing” the pressure vessel similar to how you would use a stove top pressure-cooker – by placing it on our umu’s “stovetop”
Windows is absolutely abusing their position as the dominant OS to push their other products. The number of “no don’t do that” messages and pop ups when trying to install chrome on a windows computer is clearly anti-competitive, and the only reason microsoft has been getting away with it is because Edge/etc hasn’t achieved enough market share.
The arch wiki has a page on running standard arch on the deck, I’d recommend checking it out if you haven’t already.
As an adult gamer, I have a lot less time for games. Single player games are nice because I can make meaningful progress on a storyline/etc, and even do things like finish a game and move onto the next one.
Playing online pvp games can be fun, but it usually takes a huge time investment to be good. And in the time I have to play, there’s rarely a feeling of progress. Spending 1-2 hours on a single player game and I have progressed in a distinctive way. Spend that same time in League or some other multiplayer game and I have nothing to show for it except a few ranking points.
EDF World Brothers 2 (which is a spin off of the main EDF series) just came out and has fully optional Epic games integration. It doesn’t even download the Epic account software unless you opt into using it.
I’m glad to see they’ve gone back and changed the previously released game to make it optional too.
Many game engines let you make Linux builds, but there are still bugs and optimizations that have to be done manually to get it working. The video claims it takes ~6 months to make a proper port, and even then it might not run as smoothly as the windows proton version does.
