Raincloud,

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

Beyond good and evil on Steam Deck

Hi, I was interested in playing the HD version of Beyond good and evil on my Steam Deck. I did some research online and I found out that at least to 1 year ago the Steam version of the game had many issues (only french language and settings related problems). Anyone knows if those issues are still there or I can buy the game...

Raincloud,

The 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.

Raincloud,

This whole thing has been a frustrating ordeal for trans people in Germany.

Raincloud,

The founder of Wagner, Dmitry “Wagner” Utkin, was also on board.

Raincloud,

That 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.

Raincloud,

I’m getting quite fond of the coining of this concept of “enshittification”.

Raincloud,

Gut so. Es gibt noch viel zu tun, unter anderem günstigere Sozialtickets, aber diese Nachricht ist erfreulich.

Raincloud,

A Game Boy clone console that can play original Game Boy (Color/Advance) cartridges with a terrific screen and support for many more systems’ ROMs via OpenFPGA.

Raincloud,

But the end is the “best” part, the one where using systemd causes the literal(!) apocalypse.

Raincloud,

The 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.

Raincloud,

Watching 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.

Raincloud,

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.

Raincloud,

Beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world so it doesn't work.

Close to switching to a Linux distro full time.

With the advances in gaming on Linux in recent years, it is so tempting to switch full time. I would absolutely love to, but I am a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber and it is where I play a lot of my games on PC. I know you can use the cloud version, but I cannot stomach streaming games in their current state, so it is a no go. A...

Raincloud,

I 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.

Raincloud,

I 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.

Following remote communities is hard.

It's easy to discover communities on my instance via the dedicated page in the hamburger menu. But let's say I want to follow a community on another instance, such as !lemmy . I might have found its name mentioned in a post or comment. When I click on the provided link, I'm thrown on that instances web page, from which I of...

Raincloud,

Remember when it was going to be a DRM-laden garbage fire? Forcing you to connect online every day, and not allowing you to sell your used games?

What's everyone else up to in magic the gathering? (beehaw.org)

I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me!...

Raincloud,

I'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!

Raincloud,

Sigh. Yes, I'll do my best.

Raincloud,

As a cancer patient I was heavily opposed to the "fight" language as well. I just broke down and cried a lot after my diagnosis.

Raincloud,

The 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.

Raincloud,

I really need to stop being such a lurker.

Raincloud,

Couldn't get Jerboa to work. Just using the website now
