Any Valve game would be cool, especially a not multiplayer one, there are not many of those with native versions. I think the Epic/GoG item is the tallest order in your list, even though for GoG it would be a no brainer since they carry so many games with native linux version anyway.

Well that's exactly what frustrates me about it. There are story missions and characters that elevate the vibe, and highlight the good things, but outside those it just doesn't have the same grab as the Witcher. Even with that the strongest one for me definetly was the Toussaint expansion, where they nailed basically everything. As for the bugs, i played the gog version on the latest patch so i dunno, doesn't seem fixed for me. It wasn't crashy to begin with, and i haven't encountered any bugs in the earlier version so i guess i just got lucky.

I haven't played the original Deus Ex, but i played the recent one and i liked that better than CP2077.

Quoting: Botonoski

Quoting: dvdInteresting that Cyberpunk is still there given how buggy and frustrating game it is.

I've put 30+ hours onto that game on my Deck and have so far only encountered rather mild visual bugs.

I did a second playthrough of it on the latest patch, and ironically encountered more bugs (floating radios at main quest locations, getting lunched into the stratosphere from a motorbike, enemies fusing into cargo crates etc...) than in one of the first patches. Performance is worse too. But that is not what makes the game frustrating for me.

It's just that the cool artwork and some interesting characters are hidden in a bad game. It truly feels like you're playing just to get to the next dialouge/cinematicy moment. In the witcher 2/3 i loved those as well, but combat/free exploration was interesting in its own right.

On my second playthrough i was surprised how much less of it i remembered after 1 year gap compared to the witcher which i last played 2 years ago. I guess hype truly carries a game. I'd hope they can carry the good forward to the next and come up with something better for the rest.

It's a shame too as I think a lot of good stuff got buried in the crap game: Johnny, Judy, Panam, the the Peralez', Jackie, Goro, Misty, Viktor, Evelyn they are all interesting characters and would've been better served if they focused more on normal missions than on 'gigs' and whatever. (and they put the Johnny missions, that are some of the best at the end so so its easy to miss wtf...) I refused to do any of those in my second playthrough, simply since the gameplay is the worst part of the game. There is no difficulty, "Very hard" is a cakewalk, only "challenge" is the 1-shot snipers in maybe 2 of the late game missions. Otherwise the enemy couldn't really scratch my character, which was an anti-tank build btw.

Quoting: ExpandingManI use Manjaro on all of my personal machines and am extremely happy with it, but I have to use Ubuntu for work and, I gotta say, I am not at all happy with it lately. Not only do you lack a viable alternative to AUR but the repositories you do have are aggravatingly bare, update *waaaay* too slowly, and things have only gotten worse since they started moving things to snap. Concerns about snap are a whole other issue, but removing even the *option* of installing something with `apt` because a snap exists can be annoying.

The default configuration may work ok, but Ubuntu never seems to work right when you try to change the configuration. Try to switch to window manager, it breaks GDM somehow. Install lightdm with apt, of course it's broken on install and has to be fixed to be useful.

Even the idea that there is tons of information on ubuntu because it's so widely used doesn't seem to actually pan out. As far as I know there is nothing even close to as comprehensive as the Arch wiki, and the ubuntu wiki frequently seems badly out of date.

So, yes, Ubuntu may work well if you intend to install it, play games and never do anything else, but for day-to-day use I'm not at all happy with where it is right now.

I had to configure a wined snap for a relative once (printer driver), and it got infected with a trojan in like 2 weeks. I personally wouldn't recommend a linux distro to gamers, but would recommend debian for everyone else.

Why would you buy an expensive keyboard that's not even split?

Quoting: dvdLet's be honest, this just means they won't ban as many nazis and dogwhistles will be probably OK there now. On an additional note, the reactionaries are such big fucking snowflakes: even as a non-american it's pretty clear that their propaganda flows freely from all mainstream sources. Censorship, of course... Crybabies...

Fighting nazism is affairs of law enforcement, not twitter's lol. If you see a nazi doing nazi things, write a report to police, maybe?

It's not like they'd do anything about it. And these platforms cynically play it off because it drives their ad money.

Honestly, fuck this. Already working more for a tenth of a salary of what westerners get. I for one won't be spending anything on new games in the next few years it seems.
