Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Beyond good and evil on Steam Deck
5·2 years agoThe GOG version doesn’t come with widescreen and controller support. I had to install a custom widescreen patch for the game and use AntiMicroX to enable controller support.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG?English
2·2 years agoThat doesn’t allow you to update the game though, so it doesn’t work out great for new games with frequent updates and a large download file size.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Red Hat stops all upstream and downstream work on desktop Bluetooth, multimedia applications (namely totem, rhythmbox and sound-juicer) and libfprint/fprintd
66·2 years agoI’m getting quite fond of the coining of this concept of “enshittification”.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is it the end for linux distros without systemd? Is doomsday near?
3·2 years agoBut the end is the “best” part, the one where using systemd causes the literal(!) apocalypse.
I’ve been very happy getting a used ThinkPad from eBay. It does all the coding I need for a great budget.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently)
16·3 years agoThe Fedora software app has been promoting flatpaks over native packages, even not displaying that native packages are available even if they are, requiring the command line tool to access some native packages. So I don’t see how this is fundamentally different.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Morrowind modern game engine OpenMW 0.48 is readying to releaseEnglish
4·3 years agoHonestly, this project continues to amaze me. There are a few things I would still consider improvements, such as allowing several different installations of Morrowind in different languages to be handled more easily. I wonder whether the Data folder management of this update could move towards that feature.
Recently, I struggled getting the flatpak version to run again after having used it before. I couldn’t get the sound to work. I ended up just downloading the binary release on GitHub instead and it worked brilliantly. Sadly, setting a resolution different from my monitor’s native resolution seems to no longer be working for me, maybe it’s related to my switch to Wayland, which means I’m forced to play in widescreen.

Gaming•Super Mario RPG (Remake) Trailer | Nintendo Direct 2023
2·3 years agoWatching the trailer again, it seems to have that same overly clean, lifeless HUD that all the other recent Mario games have been going for. That’s kinda sad, a blemish on what otherwise seems to be great work.
Seems like a sweet new direction for the series. I enjoyed New Super Mario Bros. games but they overstayed their welcome by a lot. Looking forward to this one.

Gaming•The best open-source games you knowEnglish
2·3 years agoI remember playing this with a friend. We modified the source code to allow us to use the fast-forward functionality in an online mutiplayer game. Once we figured out how to make proper grade-separated junctions, it ended up becoming quite a tedium. I wish Transport Fever had a multiplayer mode.

Operating Systems•Close to switching to a Linux distro full time.
3·3 years agoI exclusively use Linux on my PC, including for gaming, and have so for ten years.
It’s… A mixed bag. Getting to use Linux instead of Windows is the great part about it. The totally different philosophy, a convenient way to install apps, no mess with device drivers, easy distro-hopping and reinstallation, a way to free yourself from the vendor lock-in. If you haven’t tried it, but think you’d enjoy it, I’d strongly encourage you to try it.
Gaming works but isn’t pain-free. I can enjoy a lot of games, and SteamPlay is fantastic. But there’s moments like when I have to redownload all 20GB of Transport Fever 2 on GOG after an update was released, because there is no GOG Galaxy on Linux. Last week I was trying to get Trackmania 2020 running with a friend. The gameplay worked fine, but the Ubisoft Connect overlay was totally bugged. Whenever I opened the overlay, the game would then refuse all keyboard and controller inputs until I restarted it. Since the party system uses this overlay, I couldn’t play with my friend because of this bug. And our entire evening was wasted reading through forums and ProtonDB to try to fix the problem to no avail.
I encourage you to take a look and see for yourself and try it, I will never go back to Windows, and it’s free so you’re not losing anything by trying. A passion for fixing things yourself helps. And it’s not all sunshine and roses. But good luck, and we’ll do our best to help you if you need it.

Magic: The Gathering@lemmy.ml•What's your favorite tribe to build around?English
1·3 years agoI love Elves. Just splurge them out on the board and give them all +20/+20. Sadly they don’t work well in Modern anymore. I also cut Natural Order and Craterhoof from my Commander Elves deck since it was too oppressive.

Chat•Should we abandon the idea that cancer is something to ‘fight’?English
5·3 years agoThe fight against cancer is a fight against ableist systems of oppression like what you’re talking about here. I’m sorry for what you had to go through.

Gaming•What's everyone else up to in magic the gathering?
3·3 years agoI’m playing a lot of Commander and some Modern and Pioneer. Will be dipping my toes into fully proxied Legacy soon. Overall, I prefer the theme building and deckbuilding freedom in Commander, but I can also appreciate the 60 card competitive gameplay.
Recently I scrapped my Perrie, the Pulverizer deck after it wasn’t performing. I turned it into a Denry Klin deck, hoping to try that out soon!




Pretty sure the only way is cloud gaming via Edge (which, yes, has a Linux version)
