Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s Clumsy, Preachy Political Messaging Does More Harm Than Good
  • Performance issues is Jedi Survivor, but trash I think is Star Wars Outlaws from Ubisoft

  • greta thunberg has like 30 minutes until she gets called a tankie
  • Good question I don't know, she is American so at least 70% of chance to be a lib.

    But the dickhead said: "It's full-on communism ... and a general sentiment that if you're rich, you're evil", not much evidence, everything wrong in the world is communism's fault, but maybe he is right that one time in his life.

  • Get a load of this absolute chad: Nigerian Man Emmanuel Nwude sells non-existent airport to bank for $242 million
  • Extra point for doing to a Brazilian ghoul "faria limer"

  • greta thunberg has like 30 minutes until she gets called a tankie
  • Greta vs Vivian Wilson

    Who is more based all the time?

  • Dragon.Age.The.Veilguard-RUNE
  • I saw some steam reviews and looks like the game crashs a bunch and you can't change some important hotkeys like the movements one.

  • What's a game you loved that got a sequel you came to dislike?
  • Something something, new public, something something profit

  • What's a game you loved that got a sequel you came to dislike?
  • Worse, if I recall ME3 had 8 choices or something like that, this game has 3 and 2 just impact the villain.

    Edit: And ME3 is a ME, same gameplay, same art direction. Veilguard looks nothing like the others.

  • What's a game you loved that got a sequel you came to dislike?
  • DAO, DA2, DAI are somewhat CRPG with action, and your choices carry over(mostly, they cheat quite a bit actually) to the next game.

    DAV will be an Action-RPG with a gameplay similar to the Guardian of the Galaxy game with companion doing shit and they will not carry over any choices, actually they will let you create the protagonist of DAI and let you choose 2 things that affect the antagonist of DAV. They will bring old characters like Morrigan and Varric but whatever happens with their questline in the previous game will be ignored OR they will make a headcanon, is not clear yet. For example, Morrigan has 2 personalities depending on whether she had a son or not, but the game will ignore that choice.

    What is most infuriating is that in DAI you have a lot of choices that they seem really important and groundbreaking but don't directly affect DAI so almost everyone was expecting that these will have a purpose in DAV, but oh well too costly to do that, let's just do the bare minimum.

  • What's a game you loved that got a sequel you came to dislike?
  • At least they follow up with the story, Veilguard will change the game completely and kill your worldstate, meaning all your choices will be ignored, I just give up on Bioware after this.

  • Star Wars | Lucasfilm is exceptionally good at not making movies
  • Depends, I personally prefer a canon to what happens with hero comics like Marvel and DC that have 20000 stories that contradict each other and they have to reboot everything in a 5 year cycle.

  • Star Wars | Lucasfilm is exceptionally good at not making movies
  • Not quite, they announce/hint a lot of new movies that we never heard of it again, they released 5 movies but announce/hint at least 10 more if you count Obi-Wan and Boba Fett that were supposed to be movies.

  • Star Wars | Lucasfilm is exceptionally good at not making movies
  • Less movies less chance to fuck up the canon.

  • Denuvo is tired of gamers saying its DRM is bad for games
  • Good luck trying to PR like this garbage is useful to the end user, you gonna need it.

  • Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
  • ? When I said anything about facism? About any country? When I defend anybody? When I said any Russian propaganda? You just put words in my mouth because I'm from lemmy.ml. Get a life.

  • Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
  • That's true. I'm more inclined of the idea that he is just trying to avoid conflict to focus on the development.

    That's a common idea that I see in this type of people.

  • Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
  • What? He is doing what the lawyers is saying to do, the quote:

    "No, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers.

    He is following the sanctions.

  • I freed another one from the iron grip of the bloated legacy of Billy G

    My sister had a weird problem with Win 10 and needed me to format her notebook, a perfect opportunity to convert another soul. So I suggested installing Linux so she could try it out, she was hesitant but when I showed her some prints of Zorin OS and told her about KDE Connect she was much more inclined.

    After the installation I showed her the Gnome tour so she could learn the basics, connected her things, taught her how to install what she needed and let her do her own thing. One thing that is quite not normal for the average Windows user is that she learned to use the LibreOffice suite and other open source programs at school (cool as fuck), so she was quite comfortable with the new environment.

    She's quite pleased and I don't think she'll miss Windows, but that only time will tell.

    The Finals crashing Fedora 40

    Since the lastest update on The finals we need to use Proton Experimental to avoid the anticheat randomly kicking Linux users, but since yesterday the game is crashing, sometimes in the menu. Sometimes the games launches and close automatically, with the lastest proton GE instead of Proton-experimental I had the following error:

    LowLevelFatalError [File:.\Runtime/RenderCore/Private/RenderingThread.cpp] [Line: 938] Rendering thread exception: Fatal error!

    Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x00007f0ab4997000

    With Proton Experimental the games crashs with a Wine error: "!status && vkCreateComputePipelines"

    My command args on steam: PROTON_USE_EAC_LINUX=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 mangohud gamemoderun %COMMAND%

    My PC are: CPU:

    AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (12) @ 3.700GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6600 16GB RAM, Kernel: 6.8.9-300.fc40.x86_64

    Anyone with a similar problem?

    Steam default save folder on wine prefix

    I'm pretty much gaming on linux the entire year and most of the time using lutris or steam.

    Some days ago I used Heroic Games Launcher and notice that the Documents folder from my linux machine was linked to the wine prefix heroic created for my game and my save/configs was nicely stored on my PC.

    I know that on steam the prefix is stored in .../steamapps/compatdata/, is that any option on steam or lutris to automatic set theses symlinks? Steam have the steam cloud to backup saves but is always nice to have alternatives.

    More details: My steam games is on a different disk of my linux so I don't know if the behaviour that I'm asking is the default and my disk configuration is messing something up.

    Cautionary tale about how the average person values private information

    I don't know if this scenario is the norm or is related to most people but I was so baffled when I found that I have to post it.

    Here(Brazil) the most used app for communication is Whatsapp(first warning about low privacy concern) and a lot of people are members of cities/neighborhood/church groups, sometimes with hundreds of members. A coworker whose is part of said groups describe a common practice within the less tech savvy people: When finding a personal document(ID, credit card etc) they take photos of the document both sides without any censoring and spread to many groups as possible trying to find the owner...

    Some of this documents have all relevant information to open a bank account or access banking apps and I don't even thinking about what a more tech/professional person could do with some of these information.

    If they just ripped and thrown in the garbage was less harmful in any sense to the owner.
