LOVING this game so much on the Deck. Can't recommend it enough. I don't think I've played this much on the deck since Dredge.

Horizon Forbidden West system requirements up, devs mention 'portable gaming devices'

So close! Very much looking forward to this. Loved the first one, and it was absolutely gorgeous to play, so this should be even better. Looks like I'll be able to do "high" settings with good framerates, which is fine by me.

Quoting: ViciousNarwhalTried on Nobara and upgraded wonderfully! Impatiently awaiting upgrade on Manjaro now that Arch updated.

When I was on Manjaro (years ago) it took them AGES (for a rolling distro) to do a push with the new plasma updates. I think it was almost 4 months after release. For a rolling distro that was insane to me.

I'm on Tumbleweed now and am patiently waiting, but I bet it'll be very soon.

this is wonderful news. I hope more distros follow suit.

been losing countless hours in Last Epoch. Did some speed leveling this weekend in the monolith starting at around lvl 40. That was kind of a mistake I think, because after doing like 10 stages, and leveling up like 15 levels, I equipped all my new gear and affixes and went back to the campaign. It's SO BORING now. It's just a walking sim now. I'm a falconer, but there isn't even a point in using my main attack (bombs) because the bird kills anything that moves instantly. Even elites. For bosses all I do is stand still, smoke bomb, and spam attack. I don't even have to move.

LOL.

I do LOVE the monolith though! Some of those stages are so fun clearing. Right now I'm just trying to get through the campaign as fast as possible.

Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down (Citra for 3DS too)

Quoting: Cerberon
Quoting: GuestIdk why emulator devs are dumb enough to do this kinda stuff in the West. Its the same with pirate sites/groups - if you wanna do this do it in a place where US jurisdiction can't reach you. Like Russia, Belarus or China. If Yuzu was in Russia/Belarus/China it would be untouchable.
If they hadn't set up as an actual company they would have been a lot safer also, it's a lot harder to sue 5-10 anonymous guys contributing to a git repo.
A company makes you liable.

This is what I don't understand. Like who in their right mind would think setting up an official company for this was a good idea? I just can't fathom it.

Of course this is ultra shitty from N, but they're KNOWN to do exactly this, so .......... everyone could see this coming from day 1.

I hope yuzu lives on on the high seas! I would love to play TOTK on my computer with high frame rates and ultrawide screen. As opposed to like 25fps at 1080 on my tv.

The future has arrived - KDE Plasma 6 desktop released

Quoting: DerpFoxI haven't used KDE in years (since the beginning of KDE 4 to be precise), but I'm curious about what it looks like now. Is this version still compatible with X11? I have no interest in wayland, and honestly, I've heard so many bad things about its management I don't really trust it to be future-proof.

I don't know much about the management behind the scenes, if that's what you mean, but Wayland is 100% the future no matter what happens. X already doesn't even support modern functionalities, so the time to change over is definitely now. Embrace it!

Lots more content is coming to Last Epoch and controller support improvements

I'm having an absolute blast playing the new Falconer class. So much fun! Throwing bombs all over the map while my bird friend attacks anything that moves. It's a unique class I haven't really played before in any arpg.

shapez 2 demo is sticking around for another month - you need to try this
27 February 2024 at 6:27 pm UTC

For anyone on the fence here: GET THIS DEMO! This was one of my favs from the recent next fest. Such a good game, and I don't even usually like factory sims. Really looking forward to full release.
