Hi-Fi Rush

Pure joy and happiness from start to finish.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and Gaben will leave ownership of the company collectively to it’s employees.

I’m on Debian + GNOME right now, which works fine for me, but I plan on trying out Pop! OS in the next couple weeks. I’ve put off a long time because it’s downstream of Ubuntu and I’m no longer a fan of Canonical’s direction.

The big anti-cheat tools (BattleEye and EAC) are already compatible. The only remaining problems are a small number of developers that intentionally announced that they will be proactively blocking linux… like Bungie.

Now if Valve can just give us an up-to-date version of SteamOS for desktops…!

…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Yes.

The thing that has struck me the most is how much lighter it is. Nobody seems to be mention that, but that one small thing makes such an outsize difference.

The battery life is also very noticeable, and you can multiply the benefit by using energy conserving settings.

The other big difference is control responsiveness. If you play fighting games or other games with intense timing and accuracy needs, you WILL notice the difference.

The OG Steam Deck is still great, but the OLED is just better in so many little, meaningful ways.

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.

Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.

tHIs gEnerATIOn is sO LAzy, TheY JUST doN’T Want tO WorK!

I had 3.18 running on my Deck, just as an exercise in my own curiosity. 10-15fps on the lowest settings wasn’t great, but it worked. Credit where it’s due, that’s damn impressive for a PC that fits in your palm.

The only real blocker was that gameplay isn’t feasible on that tiny screen; the game just isn’t intended to played like that.

With the increasing popularity of these different form factors and device types, it seems like people are finally starting to realize just how horrible Windows is… especially for gaming.

I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢

Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.

Use Firefox.

I tried to order the LE at launch but it kept telling me “sold out” or “not available in your country” (though I’m in L.A.). I did eventually manage to order a couple hours later.

Currently, my order says “Shipping soon”.

Persona 5 Royal

And they won’t, because there are no consequences.

“If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.” - David Frum

According to my family, I’ve been brainwashed by “the mainstream media”. When I asked what that even means, they listed all these conservative news outlets that I don’t follow AT ALL. All I could do was laugh. “Where did you hear this?” I asked. You can guess at the answer. You’ll probably get it on your first try.

Is there any chance WV can elect a senator that isn’t a far-right fascist, regardless of the letter next to their name?

Whatever happened to Android being FOSS?
