Quoting: Hamish

Quoting: CybolicI do remember thinking that some of the tracks were odd choices for some of the expansion levels (at the time, I didn't know they had their own soundtracks).

Yeah, for Scourge of Armagon at least the Trent Reznor music does not really fit, but the Jeehun Hwang soundtrack can charitably be described as generic at best. [...]

Yeah, I was fairly disappointed when I got ahold of the expansion soundtracks a few years ago while going through a period of listening to the Quake, Quake II and Quake 3 (the Arena Noise album by Sonic Mayhem is amazing) soundtracks. They really don't compare.

The Frogger soundtrack you say? Hmmm, not sure it has quite enough mummy vibes :P

I had completely forgotten that "The Offering" didn't include the expansion soundtracks!

Since I originally played through Quake from that very release, I'm now wondering if I didn't get the full experience and need to go back and play the expansions with their real soundtrack. I do remember thinking that some of the tracks were odd choices for some of the expansion levels (at the time, I didn't know they had their own soundtracks).

Psychological horror that promises jump-scares... those two things are complete opposites in my book :/
I'm all for psychological horror, but jump-scares are like the "laugh now" signs at sitcom-tapings: a mechanism that does nothing except pull me right out of the story and remind me of the artificiality of the medium.
The production quality does look decent so I'll wait for reviews but this is a very odd duck indeed.

Quoting: NanobangI feel like its "one of ours," and it's gone into the world and "done good."

Indeed, i also got tens of hours of fun when playing the alpha. Don't get too carried away with this Linux thing though. Pretty much noone will ever know or care that it was partly developed on Linux and had day 0 support. Only Linux people will talk about it, like Arch people advertise their distro of choice.

Well.... A friend of mine actually picked it up about a week ago because he knows I run Linux and had somehow heard that Valheim was developed on Linux so he "wanted to try a game developed on Linux" as that wasn't something he had bumped in to before. This was right before the media frenzy, so Linux turned out to be an actual selling point!

Quoting: GuestToo bad they did not decide to make a keyboard with properly aligned keys.

Do you mean an ortholinear layout or something about the spacing?

How do you like these keyboards? Did it take long to get used to them? I attempted to use one before I knew how to type properly and it was a mind bender.

I have issues typing on standard keyboards comfortably due to American football injuries to both hands. This led me to prefer chiclet keyboards over mechanical due to the low actuation force. It wasn't until I forced myself to learn to type properly that ergonomic keyboards started to "click" for me. I've now got the logitech Ergo K860 and I love it. If this keyboard had back-lighting and the build quality of the MX keys it would be perfect in my eyes.

The open source firmware and the fact that system76 makes this keyboard makes me want it but I'm afraid it would be physically painful for me to use. Hopefully there is an ample return window as I'd really like to try it.

I've been using an Ergodox EZ Shine for a couple of years now, due to carpal tunnel syndrome and mild psoriatic arthritis and I consider it one of the best purchases of my life. Together with a proper layout (I recommend Dvorak or a custom BEAKL15 layout - that's what I'm using these days) a keyboard like this can alleviate a lot of finger and wrist pains; I now have to put on a compression/heat glove only once every few months instead of daily.
Ideally, you need to take the time and figure out which keys and shortcuts you need most often (lots of typing measurements to go through) and which of your fingers are most flexible and in which directions, but it will be worth it. Plus, no-one will ever ask to use your computer again :P

Here's my current layout if you're interested. Pretty much everything is on or around the home row through the use of layers and it lets me type one-handed as well with either hand (great for when you're on the phone).

Quoting: CybolicIs it just me or is the scale for the "x11 Desktop" graph off? It seems to show the number by a tenth (ie. 5 instead of 50).

I'm not seeing anything wrong, can you screenshot and circle what you mean?

A couple of the bars looked like they matched the scale * 10, but I now see that it's a percentage scale, not absolute numbers :P
Never mind me, carry on!

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: AkonadyI wanna know something not related specifically to this game but with games in general.

What do you feel like playing on Linux (not native games), losing lots of fps, basically wasting the full potential of your hardware?

Not sure if troll... but I was playing Destroy All Humans just fine at 3840x1200 the other night. Fun game!

Sounds like trolling... but I'll bite as well. Last time I tried dual booting, I was actually getting better FPS through Wine under Linux than I was Windows and I know from benchmarks that this still happens with various games (especially slightly older titles). These days, most games will run about the same on either platform, some a bit better here, others a bit better there. Of course, your mileage may vary, but in general I don't recall ever having FPS issues due to Linux and not due to the hardware (or buggy games of course).

In any case, DRAG is a native title, so nothing to worry about here :)

That's what I'm waiting for as well, it's needed for Cyberpunk 2077.

I hope it doesn't take Nvidia too long to incorporate this extension into their drivers.

Quoting: ikirutoRTX 2060 and Ryzen 1700 works without problems on Proton-Experimental with the settings in the screenshots and hex fix.

Use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe.
Replace "75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08" with "EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08".
Replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8".

It seems the fix should be in exe for Nvidia. (second hand info though)

Or, using an update of the script from LordDaveTheKind :

 
$ cp Cyberpunk2077.exe{,bak}
$ offset=$(xxd -u -p Cyberpunk2077.exe | tr -d '\n' | grep -ob 753033C9B8010000000FA28BC8C1F908 | cut -d: -f1); echo EB3033C9B8010000000FA28BC8C1F908 | xxd -r -p -s $(($offset>>1)) - Cyberpunk2077.exe
$ offset=$(xxd -u -p Cyberpunk2077.exe | tr -d '\n' | grep -ob 554881ECA00000000F2970E8 | cut -d: -f1); echo C34881ECA00000000F2970E8 | xxd -r -p -s $(($offset>>1)) - Cyberpunk2077.exe
Haven't checked if it works though either :)
