It’s a real company, that ad looks as if it could be real as well, given that face is used on their website

as far as I’m aware, those should be fine, I’d still recommend upgrading to the latest SBIOS (3.40) where available

But ASRock 800 series AM5 boards are killing granite ridge 3D CPUs en masse. Funny enough, it happened to me.
I begrudgingly switched to Asus after my CPU was RMA’d as that was the only other vendor to offer ECC compact on a consumer platform.
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 6 days ago:
I’ll consider you lucky. I’ve had many experiences with their hardware across different segments (phones, tablets, laptops, mainbaords, NICs, displays, GPUs).
They’re an atrocious vendor with extremely poor customer support (and shitty SW practicies for UMA systems and motherboards).
I don’t think many people have been as unfortunate as I have with them, the general consensus is they mark their products up considerably relative to competition (particularly mainboards & GPUs).
To be fair, their contemporaries arent much butter.

in that situation, Asus are the shitty part.

Overcooked I think tops out at four, both boomerang fu and gang beasts gonup to 8 ime

I can’t say I’ve ever used a dualshock 2 clone, but I’ve used a sixaxis and ds3? Ergonomically they seem somewhat similar. In terms of quality, I can’t say. The controller I’ve linked is wired only, however. If that’s a dealbreaker, a company called 8bitdo make some fairly affordable wireless gamepads which are all Linux friendly (directly interpreted by steaminput)
- Comment on Game recommendations 2 weeks ago:
My friends and I can play boomerang fu for hours. there’s a surprising level of depth to this deceptively cute looking game. Can get pretty competitive, but it’s always fun 😊

I have the controller on order so I’ll let you know.

boomerang fu and gang beasts are great!

I’ve only recently been made aware of btrfs’ tendency to completely fuck data at failure states.
I’ve been using that filesystem on fedora for maybe two years now without issue, though I suppose I don’t regularly find myself hitting the issues required to cause these problems.

- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 3 months ago:
fair enough, it’s still in stark contrast to all of eternal’s exposition, which was pretty hard to watch (the Colosseum scenes especially).
That’s not to say the story isn’t good or interesting,
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 3 months ago:
2016 had the perfect balance between story and gameplay to me, in that the player character expressed flagrant disregard for any narrative elements. This was doom 1 af.
Just keep moving and turn the bad guys into chunks. Need nothing more.
I fucking hated the loop in eternal. I get that the developers wanted you to play in a specific way, they partially achieved this through arbitrary mechanics like ammo scarcity. I can appreciate that it’s a good game, but I didn’t get on with it.
The art style went full Hollywood horror, and the exposition was kinda dialed up to eleven by contrast to its direct predecessor. Very much disliked that you couldn’t crouch (definitely more of a me issue, though I think sliding is a missed opportunity in Eternal’s movement repertoire).
2016’s PvP was imperfect but still fun and much appreciated. Snapmap was super underrated and has many sick community made levels.
The later games are a phenomenal technical showcase; the absolute posterchild for the Vulkan gfx API, but it’s not very ‘doom’ in spirit to me any more
- Comment on I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists? 5 months ago:
I see. Given the general reception of the 343 games, it’s a little surprising to see people ask for 5 in its entirety, though I will admit there were moments of fun to be had with H5f.
I’m not sure what fire team raven is, will need to look that one up.

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.
