  • Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!

    Jump

  • Some racing recommendations:

    Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition

    Enthusia

    Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (the PS2 version is the best one)

    Burnout 3 Takedown AND Revenge, both are stellar

    Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 and Drift 2

  • Dragon Ball Was Supposed To End With The Cell Saga But Akira Toriyama Was Pressured To Continue, Editors Reveal

    Jump

  • I say this as a massive Dragon Ball nerd, I don't think I could bare rewatching the entire anime again. Maybe DB+DB Kai, but even then it's still so long. And in Kai's case, the musical score is worse than the original and the Japanese voice cast (especially Vegeta's VA*) sound noticeably older.

    The manga on the other hand, absolutely. Inject that shit straight into my veins.

    *I apologize for the YouTube short link, but it's unfortunately the best example I could find on YouTube on short notice.

  • "Supposed to" is a little misleading. It would be just as true to say that Dragon Ball was "supposed to" end after the first 3 chapters.

    Toriyama never expected nor intended the series to run as long as it did. The only time the series was definitively "supposed to" end was after the Boo arc, as it did.

    Toriyama definitely wanted to be done, especially during the Cell arc, but it was decided (in his discussions with his editors) that the Boo arc would be the last one.

    This is a lot to say that "wanted to" would be much more appropriate than "supposed to," which is what the original Tweet says, but clickbait news site has to make it sound more interesting (not op's fault).

  • Nvidia confirms 'rare' RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti manufacturing issue

    Jump

  • One of the most disappointing GPU launches I can think of at the highest MSRP ever...and they'll still be sold out and scalped for the next 3 months at least.

    I wonder if the GPU market will ever return to normalcy at this point.

  • Shift 2 Unleashed has aged incredibly well (and also a wall of text about racing games)

    Jump

  • The single player mode was decent. I like the career structure, it's something unique compared to most other racing games' checklists of events.

    Driving physics were a minor improvement over Heat, which was already solid on that front (especially compared to the train wrecks of NFS '15 and Payback).

    Contrary to most NFS fans, I wish they leaned more into the cartoon/anime aesthetic, something closer to Auto Modellista. I'm guessing EA didn't want to risk it though, so Unbound's aesthetic feels a little half-assed as a result.

    Car customization is great as expected, Ghost nailed this in NFS '15 and basically copy/pasted the same system into everything since, which I'm fine with.

    The multiplayer is live service garbage and I'm very disappointed that all post-launch updates have ignored the single player mode entirely... Or maybe I should be happy that they didn't incorporate live service garbage into the single player...

    Overall, 7.5/10 if you ignore the multiplayer. It's Ghost's best game.

  • Is there a path forward for better support of newer hardware on desktop Linux?

    Jump

  • Minor update on this: I ended up returning the Samsung G80SD since it was being a finicky piece of shit in other ways and got an HP Omen Transcend 32 instead (I know, HP sucks, but I have nothing but good things to say about my HP Omen 27i so I took the chance). Same exact 3rd gen QD-OLED panel but this time it just works™. 240hz, VRR, all good out of the box.

    So my point about the monitor is kind of moot, the G80SD just sucks, Linux is fine.

  • Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi7

    I tend to avoid Gigabyte, but the only stock of 9800X3Ds available was in motherboard bundles on Newegg, so I ended up with it lol

    I also noticed that Bluetooth still isn't working, so I am still waiting for 100% compatibility.

  • Is there a path forward for better support of newer hardware on desktop Linux?

    Jump

  • I game on Linux lol

    is it even noticeable beyond 100hz when not gaming

    Actually yes, honestly it's most noticeable when moving your mouse or dragging windows around. It's insanely smooth.

  • Is there a path forward for better support of newer hardware on desktop Linux?

    Jump

  • My old monitor was 165hz and I didn't expect the jump to be noticeable, but it actually was. It's definitely well beyond the point of diminishing returns (120 is fine imo), but it's still a nice upgrade.

  • Is there a path forward for better support of newer hardware on desktop Linux?

    Jump

  • For sure, if I was in the market for a laptop, System76, Tuxedo, and (while not exclusively Linux) Framework would be at the top of my list

    For general PC hardware though, I've always been late to the party. I upgraded to Ryzen 3000 right before 5000 was coming out, so hardware support was already perfect on Linux. That's basically been my upgrade strategy for the past 10 years, so I've personally never really encountered these teething problems before now.

    adding in support for end user hardware is an accident and requires extra effort on hardware makers' part who don't always rise to the challenge when they don't believe it's profitable enough for the effort; in which case, volunteers have to step in to fill the gap.

    That's really the crux of the problem. How can we make companies care and/or better support volunteers to get patches out sooner.

  • When CPUs were a lot slower you could genuinely get noticeable performance improvements by compiling packages yourself, but nowadays the overhead from running pre-compiled binaries is negligible.

    Hell, even Gentoo optionally offers binary packages now.

  • He wasn't ready for that distro

    Jump

  • That's easy, just pick btrfs, gnome, pipewire, systemd, gdm, grub, and add flatpak in your additional packages.

    Every other configuration is wrong.

  • Made in Abyss would be a 10/10 show but it has enough weird shit like this unnecessarily crammed into it that I cannot recommend it to anyone.

    From what I've heard the anime even toned it down compared to the manga. Considering what made it in, I don't even want to know what got cut.
