I'm sold.

Still waiting for warcraft 4. That'll be the caption on my grave...

It's a cartoon right now, even more so than CS:GO was when it first launched on linux.

I think this one loads faster for me than the old one. I also appreciate it being less gray.

Quoting: NeptNutzPhil Spencer is the saddest kind of "frat boy" known to humankind. He shows up in his hipster-adjacent clothes, talks a big game, marginally gesticulates accordingly; but when the "chips are down", talk is all that he has. He is a corporate-owned 'News Announcer' tool and nothing more.

First and foremost: Under Lord GabeN's leadership, Valve would DIE before it ever sells to Micro$ith. (Inheritances be damned.)

Secondly: Considering hardware-behemoth Sony is already acquiescing to to Steam, for the next-in-line Japanese hardware behemoth, Nintendo, to ignore that level of a tectonic shift would be complete folly, if not total ignorance.

Nintendo knows they have already been beaten in the hardware race (<-- Steam Deck). Nowadays, it's the intellectual property (IP) that matters. (Hardware follows software - ibid. VisiCalc )

Whether or not "frat boy" can lure them to the dark side remains to be seen. Notch was an easy mark. Famicom is a totally different animal.

I don't think Nintendo really gives a shit about hardware, their games sell quite well without "realistic" graphics.

What i find sad is that people care more about games than widewine and all the patent/copyright shit that makes using a computer/the internet miserable with or without a linux computer. I think it would be good if the "gaming industry" collapsed and only indies remained, 80% of the good games come from them nowadays anyway.

Time to dust off the old salt shaker!

On an other note, any GoLers doing the occasional weekend MM?

My first gaming experience was going into a mall in the capitol and playing a fighting game on an arcade. I think it was soulcalibur. Never knew its name, i think i'll try to get it and play it some 20 years later. Crazy...

do they make the datasets public? Would be fun data to play around with.

Quoting: GuppyIn act3 currently having a blast tbh must've sunk 100+ hours into the game :D

Outside of inventory mangement and the absolutely horrible camera, my main gripe so far is that every cutscene plays at ~12 fps :|

I been thinking about trying a different rendering engine, what's the launch parameter for dx? you can use --vulcan for the vulcan one but I've not been able to find one for dx? and vulcan is the default on Linux I think ( well hope, or I've been sitting there waiting for it to constantly recompile the vulcan shaders for no good reason xD )

They are 2 separate exes (bg3.exe and bg3_dx11.exe), at least on the gog version. You are lucky that you avoided the myriad soft and hardlocks in Baldurs Gate. My advice to everyone playing: save every 30s as soon as you hit Rivington.

Quite a good game. Once i finish my playthrough, I'll wait a year or 2 with the second one. Still nowhere as good as wotr though.
