neat!

Unrelated but is your thing mendicant bias?

It’s funny is how gorgeous the endgame content looks. Sure it plays out very much in the same way, but it’s kinda crazy how hard they go in visuals on parts of the game that very few players can reach. I’m not opposed to this in principle, mind you.

But yeah the raids and dungeons didn’t really grip me in the end. Pretty as they are, there’s a lot of arbitrary systems at play which kill my engagement.

Yup. The gaming industry got lucrative enough for the bean counters to swoop in and bastardise.

And they didn’t retroactively unlock impacted gear. I had a couple god rolled blast furnaces relgated to casual PvP despite the absurd amount of time I had to put into that bullshit forge activity.

Anyone else notice the extent of bungies creativity as far as destiny is concerned:

• Stand on plates
• Shoot targets
• 3 damage phases
• Juggle balls

Would it almost be equivalent to snap on Android?

I’ve heard very little about it. Is there some controversy around it?

Something along the lines of hiring an expert on gambling. There’s a lot of game mechanics in games like Destiny 2 which lock you in through little feedback loops.

It’s a good looking game with decent movement and gunplay, but it fully disrespects your time. RIP if you ended up buying the game in 2017 with the first few expansions because that shit gone now.

valuable context - thank you

Math Riddles also not so bad

I’ve been lucky enough to dumb guy my fedora install since 28, and it’s been pretty decent to me. Granted I’m not using nvidia graphics, and I feel like that could throw a big spanner in the works for regular users. It’s a big enough leap getting into the mindset of installing software from Distro repos rather than directly from the vendor.

I hope the newer nv open kernel modules don’t stay out of tree. Also hope that NVK will give users the ability to just plug and play with mesa drivers in the future.

such a sideways cat 🥰

yes

For sure. It’ll leave the likes of 2077 and Starfield in the dust, and it’ll be performant without the need of TAA or other patchwork bullshit.

I’d be curious if they stick to Vulkan on PC since RDR2 later defaulted to it.

I think it’d be safe to expect a very well crafted depiction of Florida. A lively sandbox just brimming with weird shit.

Perhaps they were looking at people using SnapTap and similar technologies, which were recently banned in CS2.

I feel like analogue / hall effect switches can lend a player a substantial advantage in apex when it comes to strafing. I wonder if they’ve tried to mitigate that.

Glad to hear it!

That would be interesting. I wonder if the internals would allow for the use of the PCIe 2.1 > m.2 for a 5G module but that’d rinse the battery

small update - there’s been a minor (17.4 MiB) patch to Apex since. Could be worth checking in with it to see if it has resolved linux compat,

Edit - it’s working for me on Fedora 40 Workstation. NB that I’ve never hit the original anticheat issue to begin with, and I use the following launch command to run the game under VKD3D (mostly AoT shader compilation) along with suppressing launch splash screens / videos and presenting Mangohud

mangohud %command% -novid -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json

Edit 2 - tested again this morning and still working fine. I think you folks are good to go.

A week ago they made an announcement referring to anti cheat improvements. Today, a couple of friends on Windows noted that the game no longer launched with AutoHotKey enabled (no malicious use cases, just using 60% keyboards) as of last night’s minor update.

Since the game is deck verified, I’d expect respawn will resolve this soon enough.
