antialiasing in this is causing some real nasty artifacting on my system

I finished Clair Obscur last week I really enjoyed the entire game. I did accidentally over level for ACT 3 and defeated the final boss before they had a turn. I tried going though the end game content but it takes so much focus and I had been playing the game for a week straight I'm just tired and worn out so I've stopped for now.

While visiting my sister for thanksgiving I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 on my SteamDeck since the game had font scaling so I could play it on the TV. I really just want to be with Shadowheart I have no clue why I just want her. Playing as a Mage Elf and just talk my way though most things but sometimes I talk and I get roped in to something else.

Back to now 3 days ago I was talking with my friend and we started talking about tony hawk pro skater do to a video he saw I talked about how I wanted to replay American wasteland but don't since you could only play as a male in the story mode and while looking around we found reTHAWed and I have been playing it since. No female in story still but the modding is fun textures are just PNGs and 2 added classic mode campaigns that I'm going though. They also have a linux updater. I hope they can get a female protag in at some point, supposedly they have a VA for the role but they need to redo every cut scene do to model differences.

I haven't donated this year to open-source, since I've been unemployed for almost 2 years and family keeps borrowing from me as well. But I really hope I can give something again next year.

Gonna download this now for a tryout! I wish there was a torrent download though :/

KDE Linux is another interesting up and coming new flagship distro. It has both snap and flatpak by default.

I think you can use this service easily on Steam Deck now.

Point and click game "Splittown". A match for Sam & Max or Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle fans.

Project Zomboid is a guilty pleasure of a game.

It's a bummer the saves are broken, I wish I had a huge chunk of time to sink into this game, I played 3-5 player and it's a lot of fun.

I accidently woke up an entire concrete building and had to do donuts in reverse for so long to clear the area of the uhm zomboidlings ;P

Absolutely love what System76 is doing with Cosmic! I tried it out a few months ago with my Cachy install, and it definately wasn't ready, still had some major bugs. But I know they've been hard at work with everything so I'm VERY tempted to give it another go. I love that we have a nice modern new DE!

Had to set up a computer with Pop!_OS for a science center is October. They needed AR sandbox and system76 had instructions and everything setup for it but even tho the doc says Pop!_OS 22.04 or newer the software isn't in the 24.04 repo. I just when and installed 22.04 since the computer will be setup and never touched again.

Just wish I didn't have to research everything since they where the ones that wanted a to have a topography exhibit all they knew is they needed a computer and kinect. I Should say the only reason I was involved is because my aunt runs the place, so my dad was asked to get the computer since she knows nothing about computers. They original just asked for a computer with linux so we installed linux mint since they didn't specify and that's what my dad default to for people asking for linux. Then they said they couldn't figure out how to install the kinect drivers so they asked for windows. So I installed windows 11 with the kinect drivers (Fun fact the kinect driver doesn't with memory protection enabled). Then they wanted me to show everything working for them. I show up and nothing new has happened they did nothing and surprise the software needed doesn't exist on windows just one project a dad made for their kid that i couldn't get working. So I just took the computer back home and installed Pop!_OS now i just have to wait for them to finish the exhibit,

Uh sorry for the rant the whole thing just annoys me I'm just realizing this is similar to when my mom is asked for constantly changing goal from non programmers at her job.

Just yesterday I was checking if the fps drop was fixed. Glad they did it, since for me it made zooming into the map almost impossible.

Quoting: Cyril@Stella Is the reason, by any chance, is that they won't accept players modding their game? 2 DRM is indeed awful, first time I hear about Capcom Protector it seems.

You can still mod the game but adding DLC content will get you banned. I've modded the game in the past to buy any item so I could complete event armor sets, So I can have longer hair for my character and try the decompressed textures to improve frame times. Tho I don't get why decompressed textures are so unstable under linux one launch it no issue the next launch suddenly it thinks the texture is corrupt. That doesn't happen on Windows.

From my understanding they did make it harder to mod their games after a naked Chung Li mod was show live at a tournament.

Hopefully they will support mods in multiplayer in the future. I can't play Zomboid without mods, there's just too much that would be missing QOL and content wise.

I'll be honest, I would be much more interested in an open source remake.

Still, I'm happy to see that someone picked up this project. KSP needs some developer love.

In the open source world, I know of Orbiter, for instance: https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter but it's more of a space sim than a sandbox. Are there others?

I've mostly just been playing Sonic Racing Crossworlds lately.

I'm enjoying Little Rocket Lab, and that got me thinking about other games that mix genres (like Before The Echo and Hi-Fi Rush). After that, I'll check out Yakuza 0: Director's Cut. And I might replay Yakuza Kiwami 1/2 before Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties comes out.

I'm also waiting to see if my friends are willing to play Diner Bros 2 or the new PlateUp update with me.

Build 42 didn't have multiplayer until now. Previous builds did.

I didn't keep up with project zomboid for, like, ten years, but I'm a bit confused by the title. I thought the game already had multiplayer.

I saw Tamriel Rebuilt had a big release and decided it was time to get OpenMW running and install a modlist. It's a little unnerving just how much I remember about the original game, and TR is very well executed.

How does it run and control on steam deck?

Returned to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II with the intention to finish the main quest and DLCs. I had already completed all the side quests by the time I took a break from the game.

I am done with Brushes with Death, made some progress in Legacy of the Forge and advanced the main quest almost to the "point of no return" and took a first peek at Mysteria Ecclesiae.

In a way, I don't want the game to end, so I am a bit hesitant to rush everything to its conclusion, but since I've already clocked 150 hours by now it's really time to wrap it up.

But as fun as the game is, personally I feel the original KC:D offered a better experience. It had better quests, a better open world, a more personal, relatable story and a perk to automate the alchemy mini game.

Personally, in the roughly 50 hours I spent with All under Heaven, I did not notice any graphical performance issues, but if people did and that is finally addressed, I'll gladly take the reduced fan noise or extra FPS.

I guess I should also be continuing my campaign ... kinda stopped after making it from Adventurer to Emperor (over the course of three generations). But the most fun is always in the beginning.

Due to a lack of time and energy (30+ gamer here), I'm finally trying to make some progress in BG3. Otherwise, I'm jumping back and forth between Anno 117, MTG Arena and Bloomtown.

Reminded me that there is a sale again on Steam too. So there i go again, to buy something just for their top notch Linux stance and support. GOG can still wait until they come up with current times (Linux support)

Downwell is the only thing I'm playing nowadays.
