The controller was absolute garbage! The analog sticks would get snagged where the battery covers split. Batteries on the front for who knows why.

Lol mine’s living in the closet now and thankfully all those games have released for the PC Gabecube. I’ll keep the hardware as a fun experiment in history though.

Ouya wasn’t all bad though! Some great games came out of it. Towerfall and Bombsquad are still favorite party games in my house. No Brakes Valet and Hidden in Plain Sight also still get played occasionally.

AI guy wants his AI to run companies. Somehow, this is good for business and not a hostile control takeover by proxy.

BREAKING: Man decides to install Linux.

More details to come.

Just a screenshot ltt posted with the announcement, I assume it’ll be in the collab vid

There can be only one!

20 years holy crap. I remember playing this in the school cafeteria with the crew, was some good gaming

I’ve been using this Qobuz client for Linux, it’s electron but seems to handle HiFi - at least to my untrained ears.

I’d go even further back, with hindsight. During the us elections 2016 it became basically transparent the platform was being manipulated, and it wasn’t very sophisticated at that time. It’s really only evolved since then - but there used to be real people to call out the BS.

All before we even get to the corporate fiefdom spez has decided he’d like reddit to be.

As bots and sponsored content crowd the internet, Reddit is often seen as a more reliable source of information, and its popularity has exploded in the past couple of years.

Lmfao reading articles like this makes me feel like I’m living in the upside down. The entire site is bots posting content for bots to updoot and comment. Yet here they are getting glazed as “the last site for authentic connection”. Give me a fucking break.

Every single one of them has a timecard they’re punching with a name, collective punishment against the entire agency should be on the table.

Even those sitting back behind a desk pushing paperwork are enabling the thugs in the streets.

I dont know the specific answer unfortunately, I suspect there is another layer to the caching story with Proton/Wine Prefixes/DXVK in Linux. If the translation layer gets an update independent of the graphics driver, that could maybe also cause a cache invalidation to occur. I notice that behavior more often when I’m using Proton Experimental.

Shaders have to be processed when the video drivers are updated, and time to process will depend from game to game, how many shaders there are. After they are processed, shaders can be cached and recalled without a performance hit. But the cache will be invalidated after a driver update.

If you skip preprocessing, you may see a hitch the first time a shader is used in a game scene. Like if you pick up a gun that shoots blue flames, and the game hasn’t used the blue flames before - it has to process that immediately before displaying the blue flames - which takes a split second.

This realtime impact can be small or large, depending how many shaders load into a scene simultaneously. Loading a new map with lots of unique textures and unprocessed shaders is generally when you’ll see the big hitches as it scrambles to compile them.

NYC was very windy when I visited and the direction would change between blocks. Made using an umbrella a bit of a pain. The buildings created more like a tunnel effect than blocking it.

Yeah basically new game modes. Rocket Racing is an arcade racer, Fortnite Festival is a rock band like rhythm game, both are entirely independent from battle royale but still integrated into fortnite eco system with skins and characters going between them. This is the metaverse vision that Sweeney never stops talking about coming to fruition.

https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is another good resource to consult, I actually mostly use this site these days. As long as anticheat isn’t involved, I reasonably assume proton will run the game wonderfully.

I love topgrade, fantastic piece of software.

What are you buying?

Groceries, maybe I can swing something during the winter sale.
