they fully won’t but I’d like for you to be able to play once again if you enjoyed it way back when. Hell I think they even went to far as to detect a Linux host when running the game through a VM with Gfx pass through.

Given Activision’s track record, I wouldn’t count on it unless valve strongly intervene. Contemporaries like EA have even backtracked on Linux compat for anticheat.

Ah right. Appreciate the info!

Oh right. When I first heard about Lemmy, I tried to join .ml because it was the first instance I was made aware of. I think it was being rate limited at the time due to that whole reddit exodus thing, and I wasn’t able to get through, but. .world let me sign up so here I am.
I’d like to think that members of a given instance have their own opinions. It’s sad to hear about how territorial lemmy is.

I’m not familiar with the first subreddit, what was that about?
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 1 week ago:
Appreciate the explanation. I’ve seen some remarks about the instance on passing, I’ve just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

What’s the story with this place?
- Comment on Fights about Lemmy.world policy changes explained 1 week ago:
That’s on me. I come here for tech and cute stuff and it’s easy for me to miss announcements pinned at the top 😓
- Comment on Fights about Lemmy.world policy changes explained 1 week ago:
Sorry I’m not sure if it was reverted; I was completely unaware of it even being proposed.
- Comment on Fights about Lemmy.world policy changes explained 1 week ago:
fucking hell the amount of effort that would take on popular communities is insane. Was totally unaware of this policy change.

Damn, thats pretty kitted out. Sick one, genuinely cool idea.
Pls give the pup plenty of scritches from all of us

That’s actually a sick idea. Does it not get a bit prickly though?
Most importantly what’s the pups name and why do they look all 🥺

Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.
- Comment on Nvidia to ship a billion of RISC-V cores in 2024 3 months ago:
Absolutely. They’ve been getting really popular in wearables (particularly from Chinese brands).
Several SBC vendors are including rv clusters in ARM based SoCs (which I believe is partially related to what you mentioned) for development purposes.
I even have a little rv powered ssoldering iron 😊
- Comment on Nvidia to ship a billion of RISC-V cores in 2024 3 months ago:
same for and graphics since 2019. I wouldn’t be surprised if Intel were doing the same with Arc too, though I haven’t looked into that yet.

- Comment on Trying to avoid US elections content as a non-US citizen. Is this possible on the default Lemmy-UI? I prefer it over Tesseract, Photon, Alexandrite and Voyager (which have built-in keyword filters) 3 months ago:
I didn’t realise there were keyword filters. Thanks!

- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 4 months ago:
Echopoint Nova (Steam)
A short and sweet, low-fi yet beautiful co-op (and optionally PVP) movement shooter with extremely satisfying projectile mechanics, destructible environments and a gorgeous soundtrack by Floating Door. This is made by the same people behind Severed Steel.
Definitely not for everybody but there’s a demo (which can also be played in co-op) available on the store page.

- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 5 months ago:
It’s funny is how gorgeous the endgame content looks. Sure it plays out very much in the same way, but it’s kinda crazy how hard they go in visuals on parts of the game that very few players can reach. I’m not opposed to this in principle, mind you.
But yeah the raids and dungeons didn’t really grip me in the end. Pretty as they are, there’s a lot of arbitrary systems at play which kill my engagement.
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 5 months ago:
Yup. The gaming industry got lucrative enough for the bean counters to swoop in and bastardise.

And they didn’t retroactively unlock impacked gear. I had a couple god rolled blast furnaces relgated to casual PvP despite the absurd amount of time I had to put into that bullshit forge activity.
Anyone else notice the extent of bungies creativity as far as destiny is concerned:
- Stand on plates
- Shoot targets
- 3 damage phases
- Juggle balls
- Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 5 months ago:
Something along the lines of hiring an expert on gambling. There’s a lot of game mechanics in games like Destiny 2 which lock you in through little feedback loops.

It’s a good looking game with decent movement and gunplay, but it fully disrespects your time. RIP if you ended up buying the game in 2017 with the first few expansions because that shit gone now.
- Comment on Ryzen CPU owners can now download better gaming performance thanks to a Windows 11 update 5 months ago:
What I was alluding to with regards to idle mclk behaviour is that there are two factors at play: vertical balanking interval and combined display bandwidth.
Your mclk will idle high with ‘incompatible’ VBIs, and it’ll also idle high to sustain a lot of display throughput.
This can be observed regardless of GFX vendor, though symptoms may vary somewhat between them. I suppose it could be considered a limitation of GDDR (the same behaviour was never really observed on HBM GPUs like the Vega 64 or Radeon VII)
That said, friends of mine have fixed various multi-display specific issues using nvidia profile inspector
