Don't worry, Seth Evans (touring and studio musician for Black Midi) helped produce this song, and Black Midi's drummer (Morgan Simpson) is credited on Greep's new album, which is set to release in a month: https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/6uPLM4h3oBnZ3IKUL4f20H

Cameron Picton is also doing a solo project called CameraPicture or something

I had a very similar issue with Heroic Games Launcher (streaming to steam link, steam shortcut added, game thought I was using mouse and keyboard instead of controller). I fixed it by enabling "minimize heroic on game launch" in Heroic's options. Maybe see if something similar exists for Lutris

For the lazy, three of his kids died before 30:

• Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain: died at 75y/o (heart attack)
• Wife Olivia Langdon Clemens: died at 58y/o (heart failure)
• Son Langdon Clemens: died at 19 months (diptheria)
• Daughter Suzy Clemens: died at 24y/o (spinal meningitis)
• Daughter Clara Clemens: died at 88y/o (likely overdose)
• Daughter Jean Clemens: died at 29y/o (drowned in bathtub after epileptic seizure)

Worth noting the life expectancy when Mark Twain was born was about 60-65, so he did outlive the average by 10-15 years. But this is still more due to his children having tragic deaths rather than his longevity.

It's a shooter with no aim assist, and the UI isn't setup particularly well for controller (at least not yet)

Valve has manually selected the game to be run with proton experimental under linux, and it works on my linux desktop. So it will probably at least run on Deck, but I don't imagine it's a very controller-friendly game. I have no idea about Mac.

Comet has a list of supported requests on their github readme, and at least the achievement requests seem to be present. I'm not sure if Heroic utilizes them though

One of my main tools has been SteamDB's instant search - it's basically a giant list of all steam games, sorted by review score, with a TON of different filters you can apply. Looking specifically for something released this year? You can filter for it. Looking specifically for a co-op action shooter, or a singleplayer 2d platformer? You can filter for those too. Wanting to exclude early access games or exclude games with a min/max number of reviews? You can do that too. Very handy tool

If you or your family care about privacy, their Android app has fewer trackers (see Spotify v. Apple Music).

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed Collection is a blast if you're okay with a kart racer.

Flatout 2 is the OG combat racer.

If you're looking for a true "racing sim" type game I would probably recommend one of the Assetto Corsa games, either the original or competizione.

CarX Drift Racing Online is probably not what you expect, but is really fun. Not exactly a traditional "racing" game because you don't compete for time, but rather compete for "drift points," with longer/wider drifts getting more score. It has a surprisingly thorough singleplayer mode, and the multiplayer is relatively relaxed. Multiplayer is setup in an open-world style; you join a big lobby and can just drive around with friends or randoms without actually competing for anything, although people in each lobby can start competitions that everyone else can opt-in to. The main reason I'm recommending it is it has very thorough car customization and is a chill, non-competitive driving game, whether that be singleplayer or multiplayer.

English-speaking population is about 1.5 billion worldwide and 300 million of that is in the US (first language or additional language), so the US is about 20% of the world's English speakers. The 2nd and 3rd countries with the most English-speakers are India and Nigeria, so factor in internet access, and the US is almost certainly >20% of the English-speaking internet.

Looks like Lemmy.world has the entire instance blocked: https://lemmy.world/instances

Was wondering why I hadn't heard of this bot before...

Seems like a peaceful hobby. !birding@lemmy.world has a whopping 3.4k subscribers, so it seems to be relatively popular around here too.

I thought this might be a similar situation to Ghost of Tsushima where a PSN account is only required for online play, but Ragnarok has no multiplayer.

I don't understand why Sony is so insistent on this. PSN is still unsupported in 170+ territories; this requirement is just going to turn most of those "would-be" buyers in those territories into pirates.

SteamOS uses PipeWire, Pulse Audio isn't even installed

You didn't list your distro, but I had the same issue on Pop!_OS. I fixed it by modifying the ALSA properties in /usr/share/wireplumber/main.lua.d/50-alsa-config.lua. I'd first try uncommenting headroom and changing it to 1024, then logging out and back in. If that doesn't work, go 2048. If that still doesn't work, then I'd maybe try adjusting period-size.

For me, a value in the ~1200 range for headroom fixed it completely. But it will entirely depend on your sound card/hardware. And note, these values will probably be overwritten with any wireplummer updates.

Also keep in mind, increasing headroom will increase audio latency, so try not to increase it too drastically.

Still exclusive to Google/Samsung proprietary apps. AFAIK they also do extensive SafetyNet attestation checks, so it isn't even possible requires a bit of work (see below) to use RCS on a custom ROM like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS, or LineageOS, or even a rooted stock OS. Unless that does a complete 180°, I'm sticking with Signal

These don't exactly "fit in" with the rest of the list, but on Deck I've personally had a blast with CarX Drift Racing Online and the Sonic &ASRT Collection

This is already fixed in proton experimental bleeding-edge.
