Honestly? Yeah so far. I swapped to Bazzite after getting a new AMD rig in early July. There was a little bit of setup for the first few weeks, but it’s worked perfectly for the whole last month.
I did have many, many issues on my last computer when I was on an Nvidia card though. My impressions are that Linux can be very hardware dependent, and Nvidia is kinda notorious for not supporting their hardware.
spoken like somebody who doesn’t know a thing about security.
Windows 10 is going to be compromised the second it goes end-of-life. There are cybercriminals who’ve been sitting on exploits, potentially for the entire Windows 10 lifecycle, but at the very least for the past year or two. The second Microsoft will no longer commit to patching those, they’ll pounce.
Connecting any operating system to the internet after it goes EoL is just asking for trouble.
Honestly, it’s kinda incredible they held out as long as they did. Sports gambling is quickly becoming the only reason mainstream sports are still broadcasting, and it took over the rest of esports ages ago.
It’s basically only proprietary garbage tho.
There’s two issues with this thinking. The first is the assumption that the additional money is going to the developers. Considering Microsoft continues to layoff developers, I think we can safely rule that out as a possibility. It’s going to the c-suite and maybe marketers.
The second is the assumption that games are more expensive than ever to develop. This is beyond untrue; games have actually never been cheaper to develop. That’s a big reason why indies have exploded in popularity, and in many ways have supplanted AAA as the primary drivers of innovation in the industry. AAA games are bloated because business executives want to chase infinite money, and put ludicrous amounts of man hours chasing the dragon of graphical fidelity. I strongly believe that more mid-budget titles focused on solid gameplay fundamentals with good art direction would result in greater success, but since that won’t make infinite money I doubt the shareholders will ever take that route.
Okay but seriously, why are there old trenches on Tau? I can buy that the Orokin, constant assholes that they were, came to Tau along the solar rails to kill the Sentients they created and claim their new solar system. That contradicts a lot of the old lore, but makes some logical sense. They presumably have the Tenno at this point though, and they have the Infestation; why would their tactics involve trench warfare? They could virus bomb a site from orbit and then send Tenno in to annihilate anything that still moved. Trench warfare isn’t really efficient, there’s a reason we don’t really see it anymore, and the Orokin have tech far, far beyond what we have today.
Also if this update doesn’t let us finally see The Sounding of the Naga Drums I will be very sad.
Dark Souls 1 is like a nice palate cleanser after Elden Ring; much easier, much quicker to go through, really only like 1-2 really difficult encounters by modern standards.
Dark Souls 2 has kinda become more interesting over time. You can start to see the bones of what would eventually become Elden Ring with mechanics like powerstancing and armor sets with bonuses, but the differences in healing and the mistake of Adaptability turn a lot of people away.
DS3 is honestly just “another one” in retrospect. It introduced what would become weapon arts and simplified magic to use a mana system, both things that would continue through to ER, but I very rarely return to it.
If you can find a way to access it, I’d also highly recommend Bloodborne. It plays the most different to the rest of the franchise, while still retaining a lot of the Soulsian trappings.
If you seriously don’t understand how often queer content is falsely linked to sexual depravity in order to censor it, please take a closer look at the rhetoric of the far-right in the United States and U.K. It is absolutely not a false equivalence, it is a very serious threat that other queer game developers are now very concerned about.
ahhh, the glorious days of TF2 lobbies, where players would have custom sprays that were almost always just porn. How far we’ve…oh wait a minute actually it seems like we’ve made no progress at all.
Damn that’s such an insult to Goebbels.
Still is dead to me. I heard you can bypass the requirement and don’t need a Sony acct again, but it’s just not worth the trouble.
So it doesn’t seem like it’s collecting all of the information from the updated EULA yet, but likely will start doing so soon.
Does anyone know if you can still connect to multiplayer servers if you aren’t on the latest patch? I might just turn off auto-updates and prevent the game from ever updating, but I’d like to have the option to play some more with friends in the future
Eh, I think there’s just as many examples of burned out creatives not wanting to make a sequel, being forced to make a sequel, and it turning out poorly. A recent example would be Matrix 4.
I agree that continuity is important, but I think inspiration is the most important thing. If somebody doesn’t have a good story to tell in a universe, it doesn’t matter if they have perfect attention to continuity, they’re telling a bad story.
Hey, I’m one of those! Started using Bazzite in July, have absolutely fallen in love. My whole gaming library is available, which has been a real first for me with Linux.
