Seems Overstreet is just pissy that he can’t talk to people on the kernel mailing list like it’s 2005 anymore. “Get the fuck out of here with this shit,” indeed.

What’s the point? It’s not like the people who still put money into this scam are going to be turned off by yet more undelivered promises.

This is the whole idea behind Turing-completeness, isn’t it? Any Turing-complete architecture can simulate any other.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/505/

When I was gaming on Windows, the DirectX 12 implementation in every game I tried was kinda garbage.

It usually either would just perform bad in general, or just have really bad input lag.

The first thing I’d try whenever I had problems was switching the renderer to DirectX 11, and that would often fix things.

In fairness, Vulkan implementations have been pretty hit-and-miss too. I think developers still just need to get used to the new execution model.

This also was on Nvidia graphics, which may or may not have had something to do with it.

Despite a rocky launch, I ended up playing a fuckton of Battlefield 4.

And Battlefield 1, while not historically accurate in the slightest, was actually a nice breath of fresh air, and a setting that hasn’t been covered nearly as much in popular media as other 20th century wars (with possibly the exception of Korea). It’s actually one of my favorites.

Battlefield 5 just felt so… bland by comparison. They tried to change too many systems, and ended up making just a completely milquetoast game. Really disappointing for what should have been a triumphant return to the series’ roots.

Battlefield 2042 had no soul whatsoever, and some of the worst designed maps in a Battlefield game I’ve ever seen.

One of the maps that was available in the beta that I played was literally just a giant fucking field with hardly any cover and a hundred-foot wall for the enemy snipers to stand on top of and pick off attackers one by one. I really wish I could have been in the meeting room when they were workshopping that map, because I wanna know exactly what the fuck they were smoking to think that it would be any fun at all to play.

I’d honestly welcome a return to formula here if it means another game like BF4 or BF1, even if most players don’t consider that “classic” Battlefield.

Your opinion is posited as an absolute: “This is useless”

That’s not even correct. I said “not all that useful” and then “next to useless”. Never “absolutely useless”.

The whole point of this feature is to provide something built into Steam that works without a whole bunch of fiddling like other recording software. It currently fails at that on Linux because the implementation of it is half-assed. That is my position. End of conversation.

I see this as a substitute for Shadowplay, which records your microphone if you enable it, which I previously used on Windows to record gameplay clips, but it doesn’t exist on Linux.

Steam Game Recording can record your microphone on Windows, but they haven’t bothered to make it work on Linux for whatever reason.

As currently implemented on Linux, it captures all system audio and cannot be configured to do anything otherwise, so if you’re talking with friends on TeamSpeak, it’ll only capture half of the fucking conversation. Making it next to useless.

I’m getting really annoyed that people are going out of their way to invalidate my opinion here.

It’s not as if voice actors and composers are expensive or hard to find.

If an artist uses AI in the creation of an otherwise original work, that’s one thing. But replacing creative talent wholesale with the output of an AI is another thing entirely.

From the article:

IolaCorp Studio consist of just five developers, although the impressiveness of the project is somewhat soured by their disclosure of AI-generated voice acting and music, so just something to be aware of going in.

I do post footage to YouTube, some publicly and some privately because my friends and I actually enjoy our time together and want to remember the best moments.

The fact you think that’s cringe just makes me feel sorry for you.

For those of us who actually have friends to play with, we like to be able to record banter.

Sadly not all that useful on Linux because it doesn’t record your microphone.

I honestly hate the changes to Terminids. The fucking tentacles that pop out of the ground on level 7 and above can just keep you constantly ragdolled. It’s just not fun to fight the bugs anymore.

As someone who’s built his own PCs for years, I’ve never really bothered with a BIOS update.

Then again, one of the main reasons to update BIOS is to gain support for new CPUs, but I’ve been using Intel which switches to a new socket or chipset every other generation anyway. I’ve almost always had to buy a new motherboard alongside a new CPU.

What hot garbage of a title.

They do just enough to fend off any serious allegations of fraud.

The fact you haven’t felt compelled to check in 4 years says everything.

Star Citizen isn’t a game. It’s a carefully crafted enterprise product designed with a single purpose in mind: to separate fools from their money.

Source: they took me for $30 almost a decade ago and I’m still not over it.

My understanding is that Flatpak was never designed to be a secure environment. It’s all about convenience.

Running software you know you can’t trust is idiotic no matter how well you sandbox it.
