QuoteFix new VR gamepad UI rendering with a flipped Y-axis.
Too bad, I kinda got used to it the last few days

Yup, same.

The Steam menus (what appears when you press the menu/system button on the Index controllers) are upside down
Games themselves as well as desktop control are normal. And the colors are normal for me, too.

Yup, typical Linux VR experience.
Oh, Valve.

I wouldn't even mind Epics exclusivity stuff if EGS itself wasn't so bad.

We were rightfully joking about how slow Valve is to develop stuff, but oh my, does EGS up the ante on slowness...

Great to see this aspect of Steam on Linux is getting some more love.

It currently works okay if you can actually get a game to work, but everything before and around that is just a pretty bad experience full of crashes, errors, weird popups and flickering (at least for me, with the Index, SteamVR flickers like crazy while any actual VR game runs fine if it does run at all).

I feel that lately, I've seen a lot of cases of PR teams clearly needing PR teams.

An odd way of communicating, that's for sure.

QuoteEmbracer themselves said that Saints Row had "left the fanbase partially polarized"
I don't think so.
The game is pretty much universally reviled - an deservedly so.

Then again, even 95% is probably still "partially"...

Quotealthough the game had "performed in line with management expectations in the quarter".
That is either a bold lie or "management" knew the game would sell like sliced bread that is moldy.

Quoting: Mountain ManI never implied that you were stupid. You came up with that yourself.

Quoting: Mountain ManBut we're not talking about anything like that, we're talking about activities like navigating files and directories in Dolphin where the user's chances of doing anything catastrophic that would warrant an "Are you sure?" prompt are essentially zero.
No, it isn't just about catastrophic consequences...
I think this has proven sufficiently you really don't understand the argument and after trying twice with increasing detail, I apparently suck at explaining it and I don't know how else to try.
Might as well stop here.
