Likewise, but I seem to be having major issues with Unreal Engine games in general. UE5 games tend to complain about lack of DX12, and UE4 games run very poorly.
Meanwhile I’m getting pretty good performance on Cyberpunk 2077 with nearly all the settings maxed out.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer 20 hours ago:
Yes, that’s why you’d make it a remaster; to fix all of those things.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - Official Trailer 20 hours ago:
Can’t play the game. Just like Nightengale before it, it seems like Intel Arc cards still have issues supporting DX12 on Linux.
Game won’t launch because it complains DX12 is unsupported.

Yes. I’ll be an asshole to those that stand in the way of good things. No remorse.
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 4 days ago:
Radioactive nuclear materials comes from the Earth. All one has to do is put it back in the Earth. Finland built a massive underground nuclear waste storage facility, but there are also technologies being developed to reclaim nuclear waste (because only a very small amount if the material actually gets used in the fission process).
- Comment on Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system 4 days ago:
So long as the checkmark isn’t bought through some subscription service, I’m fine with this.
The whole reason why verification exists is because other will steal the name of someone famous and masquerade as them, with real world consequences. A verification system now means that certain platforms and people will get more attracted to be there, and thus Bluesky will grow.

Refreshing not to see the comment section full of anti-nuclear brainlets. For a second I thought Lemmy was a Greenpeace hot-spot.
Anyway…
One good turn deserves another. If others won’t follow because of good example, hopefully other countries will instead follow because of competition.

Humble Monthly is awesome.
- Comment on Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey Call For Abolition Of All Intellectual Property Laws, Arguing There Are 'Much Greater Models To Pay Creators' 1 week ago:
Like, I agree. But we all know that he’s not saying this out of the goodness of his heart. Completely removing any sort of IP laws right now would mean tech billionaires like him get free reign training AI models… And more importantly, making money with AI models.
- Comment on The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone. 1 week ago:
I use mine. Bluetooth is great and all, but it’s still not the same quality as a hard-line. And they also run out of batteries.
- Comment on Dune Awakening shares new screenshots and confirms the ever-present threat of the Sardaukar | Massively Overpowered 1 week ago:
Unless I’m mistaken, this game should basically be Conan Exiles but Dune (hopefully with improvements over Conan Exiles).
If this is indeed correct, then it should be possible to play the game offline single player, or set up your own server to play with your friends.

The population is, just as much as you are the populations. The benefit of living in a society must be a two way street, but long gone are the days where honest work earns you an honest living.

It’s almost as if the fascist apartheid baby has an agenda behind all of this.

The only people capable of applying such laws are the very same corrupt people you want to have subject to such laws.

I’m tired of all the pixel art indie card games.

That’s quite a logo they got there. I hope they hired one of their in-house artists, or a furry artist, to draw that.
- Comment on I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists? 2 weeks ago:
Crash Nitro Kart. Still stuck in exclusivity hell. Also salty Toys For Bob got canned for no good reasons.

- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 2 weeks ago:
Hmm… I’ve heard a few things about Sonic All-Stars too. Guess I should give it a shot.
Would be cool if Crash Nitro Kart isn’t still a PlayStation exclusive…
- Comment on First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80 2 weeks ago:
Can’t wait to wait 2 years and then pirate it.
But besides that; are there any good PC kart racers?
(Emphasis on “good”, because I already know about Super Tux Kart, used to play it a lot more than 10 years ago, but today it feels very… Clunky and dated).
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 weeks ago:
You can download and keep the installers forever in your personal storage somewhere, and install them without the need of Internet connection.
When you buy a game from GOG you’re buying without DRM and have all the installers available to download as backups. Regardless of what the fine print may say, this is effectively owning your games forever.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 weeks ago:
Yup. Install either Heroic or Lutris (though Heroic is a little better). I think there’s also a plugin to allow you to access Heroic through the Steam frintend, but in Desktop Mode, when installing a game through Heroic, it’ll add it to your Steam library, which means you can access it in Game Mode too.

- Comment on The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Will Be 60 Minutes Long, Nintendo Confirms 3 weeks ago:
For the past 20 years that also included fun gimmicks. They sometimes fail, as with the Wii U, or were good but… Kinda just a gimmick, like the 3DS. But Nintendo has been making their consoles pretty unique from every other console. The DS format and the Wii are still very unique consoles. The Switch 2… Not so much…
I don’t doubt the Switch 2 will see success, but how it’ll stand out from everything else like the Switch originally did is still a question.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Will Be 60 Minutes Long, Nintendo Confirms 3 weeks ago:
That first part really resonates because I experienced the DS lite. I didn’t see many phat NDS consoles, but kids everywhere had a DS lite. Mariokart did insanely well on that console, but not just because it was Mariokart, but also because of the download play feature.
It seems like Nintendo wants to replicate something like that through it’s virtual game card sharing feature. But it also seems like it’s a feature on the original Switch, so I wonder what new things they’ve planned.
I too will be surprised if the Switch 2 does better than the Switch. The 3DS, arguably the real sequel to the NDS, as opposed to the DSi, didn’t really touch the same highs that the DS lite did.
- Comment on The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Will Be 60 Minutes Long, Nintendo Confirms 3 weeks ago:
I’m honestly curious is the Switch 2 will follow in that success.
Credit where credit is due; lots of kickstarters and small private companies have tried making something like the Switch for years, but very few people knew or cared about them. Then Nintendo pulls it off, which leads to the Steam Deck, which then compells a whole market to spring up for similar format devices.
Now there is a market, with competition from all sides, and Valve seems to be the one most are talking about for this format. Besides crushing emulators, how will Nintendo compete?
- Comment on The Switch 2 Nintendo Direct Will Be 60 Minutes Long, Nintendo Confirms 3 weeks ago:
Maybe that’s the point. You begin the video, the host says “Hello, and welcome!”, then you immediately stop the video having just watched 15 seconds.
“That was a pretty interesting Nintendo Direct!”
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 3 weeks ago:
The only one that sounds good to me, perhaps, are the voting rights. I’d pay for that. Patreon artists and creators do this sort of thing, and if this is something GOG needs to do to get by, then fine by me.
Downloading offline installers/backups, however… That would be locking away a feature that exists now to everyone that has bought a game. That means locking away a feature from customers who have spent money on a product already… Likely for the explicit point of being able to get installers that don’t need an online connection. If they choose to do this, they’d be desfeting their own purpose.
For context; I bought most of my games on GOG. I don’t really buy games anymore, and my Steam library is low absolutely massive, however. Both of those reasons are because I’ve been subbed to Humble Monthly for a few years. But ultimately when I go looking to buy a game, my preference is to buy from GOG specifically because it’s offline and DRM free.
- Comment on Ubi, it's $70 and people are vary of your mile wide puddles that drop 75% in price after half a year 3 weeks ago:
It can be a bit of both. You can tell a good story that also stats true to the historical events. Not being being able to do that shows a lack of skill and imagination.

Except The Last Samurai isn’t remotely historical.
Tom Cruise’s is very roughly based in a French admiral. That admiral got sent specifically to Japan to create political relations with a certain faction of Samurai to further French interests there. The French admiral was made samurai as honorary title and put into service of the household.
During the final battle (which was a castle siege, and both sides were using guns), the French admiral was released from service and sent home.
If a movie or a series were to be made of this, and if it were to be somewhat accurate, it’d be closer to a political thriller with some battles in between.
