Honestly I just watch streamers like Cohhcarnage or Lirik as they pretty much only play new and indie games and they tend to give honest opinions on what they play. Literally just bought an indie game today after watching Lirik play it.
A tip to new arch users, keep the AUR package numbers very low or at least mostly limited to packages officially endorsed or potentially maintained by the main project.
ruh-roh. um…so I shouldn’t just be installing packages based off the date and not thinking “hmmm, I wonder if it’s on AUR…oh it is, let me clone this sucker”
cause yeah…I’m really addicted to AUR.
and yes I’m a new user.
oh it was great. I used to try and get in the magazine by drawing on the envelopes and mailing them in. EGM and I think GamePro used to have artwork that people mailed in.
Also prior to the Internet this was THE way to get cheats for games. every time a new issue came out I always checked the back to see if there were cheats for a game I just got.
oh Bryan Lunduke? can someone spare me a grain of salt before I click the link? appreciaet it.
had a subscription to GI years and years ago. it came with the Gamestop membership thing.
I miss old gaming mags like this, EGM, GamePro, etc. man EGM used to be THICK, it was like buying a catalog every month.
Braid is like Myst. Everyone and their grandma either bought it, got it as a gift, got it in a bundle, or just pirated it way back in the day. I mean I friggin have it in my steam library and I don’t know how I got it.
So it doesn’t surprise me that no one bought this remaster or whatever.
add to the fact that remasters really work if it’s of a game that is on an older console or is an older game that has a hard time running on modern PCs. Braid isn’t either of those. Why pay for a remaster if chances are you already have it and is still runs.
question for you and anyone else for that matter: I’m using CachyOS right now and it’s fine, I like it but the more I read about Fedora the more I’m tempted to switch. Would you go with just straight up Fedora 40 or give Nobara a shot?
really? anticheat causes you problems? weird. been playing Elden Ring all day with no issues.
I also play a couple MMOs which update constantly and haven’t had any issues with either.
It’s like speedrunners with videogames.
a decent tiler. I’m on plasma 6 so best I can do right now is polonium. it’s fine but I feel like I could be doing better. unfortunately I can’t find anything else that works.
especially since the gift card provided doesn’t work. “here’s a 10 dollar giftcard for our screw up…also it doesn’t work…go fuck yourself”
my go to was Fark. I know it still exits and maybe I’ll start using it again but man that site was great.
I had this issue with Horizon 4. 1. are you using big picture mode? or 2. did you turn off steam overlay?
my issue was it stopped working for this specific game when I had the steam overlay turned off, I randomly turned it back on and the controller started working again. only affected Horizon 4.
but if you’re using BPM mode apparently there’s a fix here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1549#issuecomment-447654643
same machine, asus rog gaming laptop so nope, nothing upgraded.
well don’t know what to tell you but it is. for example with FFXIV on Win 11 I was getting 30 to 40 fps on maximum settings. on CachyOS i’m getting 75+ fps on the exact same settings.
I’m using CachyOS with the 550 nvidia drivers and it’s been great, haven’t had any issues at all and this is on Wayland also. FPS is double of what it was on Windows on the same machine. it’s been fantastic.
meh, and this is just my honest opinion, but I don’t think any of the distros look good right out of the box so the way it looks isn’t a deal breaker as I just end up cutomizing them anyways.
well that’s fine I’m just stating with my personal experience I had more issues using Mint than I have using CachyOS. If Cinnamon broke on Mint due to customizing or what have you it REALLY broke to the point I needed to reinstall the OS. there were other issues with Mint (the Nvidia stuff being huge) that would break and would result in a reinstall. that’s the reason I made the move to another distro.
With CachyOS and Nobara they both feel more focused due to having small or single team members. Mint really felt like it was all over the place and broken. I’d say Mint is great for a brand new user for a couple weeks but you’ll quickly find it’s limitations, it’s not a distro I would stick with.
but this is just personal preference, I did like your write up and it has motivated me to switch to just using straight up Arch or Fedora.
personally I’m addicted to AUR. I just like going down the rabbit hole on there and seeing what people have.
