  • The show has a completely different tone and pacing from the books. The books are much closer to LotR (particularly the first one which is basically just alt. Fellowship) and spend a lot of time with the characters traveling and getting to know each other and the lore of the world. There's plenty of bickering, but the characters all like each other and get along decently. The show opted to cut most of the parts where you learn what's going on to instead focus on manufactured drama.

    They also just changed things in really confusing ways like making Mat's parents deadbeats, among other things. Some of the plot restructuring makes sense given how much stuff there is to adapt. I don't think anyone reasonable can expect any book adaptation to keep 100% faithful unless it's getting crazy funding as a TV series. That said they just really took a knife to things.

    Idk, as someone who loves the books despite their issues I wasn't particularly enamoured with the show. Some people liked it though.

    If the world seemed interesting I'd recommend the audiobooks. Love Michael Kramer and Kate Reading.

  • Which desktop environment are you using? If it's gnome I think you can just go into mouse settings and disable the controller. That won't disable it entirely though, just it acting as a mouse. Kde has something similar

  • Also running into some power issues. Getting really weird behavior where it will run at full force for a bit then drop down to ~60fps, but at really regular intervals. (nixos, 6.14 rc6 cachyos, mesa-git, linux-firmware 20250311)

    Some kind of throttling oscillation maybe? Saw this in Cyberpunk, MH Wilds, AC EVO, so mostly intensive games. (Was seeing something similar on windows with MH so idk.) Minecraft with shaders didn't have this behavior.

    Dunno. Seems like the kind of thing that will get sorted out eventually.

    Edit: this turned out to be thermal throttling from how my PC was set up.

  • Space consideration is a bit more obvious with the seat though

    How pronounced the difference is feels like it varies but the rounded ones are frequently just way too tiny.

  • Have the same issue due to my vfio setup https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/issues/3270 No activity since my comment. My setup has an Intel CPU with integrated graphics, an AMD GPU for the host, and an Nvidia GPU for my vfio setup with no drivers loaded. Bottles just won't use the amd card so I can't really use it for any apps that need a GPU. I guess it just has some really weak logic for deciding which one it should pick.

    Hopefully they just give us an option to let us choose which device it should use. Maybe we could convince them to do it with the cosmic rewrite they've talked about.

  • I've had some luck with vesktop's streaming but it just doesn't work for me half the time and I have to fully restart it to fix it. I'll go through the flow and click to start streaming and nothing will happen. With the latest update for regular discord it will always stream but has had issues with switching windows/audio not always working.

    Guess we'll get there eventually.
