using a 3090, switched dlss to use the new transformer -model and it’s GREAT. Basically all smeared surfaces while moving are gone, wet pavement stays crisp while waking the rainy streets…

Kinda feels like the image quality which previously was “DLSS Quality” can be achieved with “DLSS Performance” now, just with higher framerate.

For laughs I tried the dlss -files with other games (The Ascent, PGA TOUR 2K23), and overall the visuals appear more detailed with less artifacting when using DLSS. Apparently the results could be even better if I tinkered a bit with nvinspector and enforced the “J” profile for dlss for the games, too.

I’ve mostly thought about playing Balatro, but haven’t gotten around to it as I’ve only watched numbers go big in Untitled Space Idle (idler/clicker/absolute-timewaster).

It’s been a slow gaming week for me. :D

edit: maybe I should actually elaborate a bit on the idle-game.

Essentially: you have space ship, space ship must fight other space ships, which get tougher and tougher the further you go. As you go, you research, build, etc. more things to your ship to make it sturdier, deadlier, and faster, then reset and do it again, but BETTER. Rince and repeat, the usual idle-game loop.

There’s so many different ways to make the ship better - but you’re gonna need them all anyway, having multiple systems you can/need to level up, but usually can’t do so in one go is just a time sink.

It’s a simple game but if you identify as “scandisk/defrag watcher”, it’s for you.

oh, I’ve been wondering about this, as I’ve had occasional youtube-video just enter the infinite buffering. Oddly it has only happened on linux o_O

It looks like a shiny plastic toy.

I was just about to say exactly this. For some reason the go-to effect seems to always be reflections. Why does everything need to be super glossy? Add lens flares while you’re at it, why don’t you.

figures, but hey, if people really enjoy it then… fine.

I play quite a bit of idlers and clickers, and they’re generally quite low on the gameplay department, but this… this just looks minimum effort meme game. Doesn’t seem like there’s anything more than a click counter and an image of a banana.

Am I missing something?

it’s like that friends -meme: “repeat after me: discord is not the place for documentation/wiki/distribution”, and joey goes “discord is the place for documentation/wiki/distribution”.

For the most part: Important everyday bookmarks go to the bookmark-toolbar directly, everything else goes to few top-level directories in bookmark toobar: games, software, hardware, wishlist, media, work

the directories are then further sectioned into subfolders, eg games->gamename and so forth.

Sometimes I do wish the directories would just automatically alphabetize themselves, but oh well.

I guess just because how the question was laid out, I’m disqualified as I was taught how to use it the first time I used it. :P

with my first linux -system, I had an experienced friend to hold my hand while installing, configuring and usage - including vim. So, the first thing he taught me was how to exit it. This was sometime in … 2003-ish?

obvious privacy concerns aside, who the hell actually needs this?

If something I do is important enough to remember later, I do save it (bookmark, screenshot, screencast, whatever). This doesn’t need to be automated, esp. since it seems to require 25-50 GB of diskspace to do anyway.

For users, this is a solution seeking for a problem. For megacorpo this is just more data harvesting, even if it’s “only local” for now. Hard pass, nopety-nope-nope, also arch btw and so forth.

sample size of 1, admittedly, but there’s so few times I’ve managed to break arch - which I can’t 100% attribute to myself.

Once the updates broke, somehow wiping bash -binary and kernel. Not entirely sure how or why, all I did was a normal pacman -Suy. I might have issued the pacman -command from a long path which didn’t exist anymore, not sure if relevant or not. Hasn’t happened since, so… dunno. It did spook me a bit, but nobody else at the time reported similar issues.

I’ve ran arch for years at work (webdevelopment, desktop and laptop), home server (irc shell, mumble, etc hosting) and now home desktop too (gaming, media, dualbooting with win10).

The home server has required a powerbutton -forced boot once or twice, many months of uptime & regular kernel updates can apparently mess something with networking and usb, so can’t ssh in and keyboard doesn’t get regognized when plugged in. So, you know, reboot after kernel updates? :D

It’s always a good idea to check the website for breaking changes which require manually doing something, there has been a few along the years.

as far as I’ve understood it, the main issue of the account lies in the fact that the game has been sold on regions which either cannot make a psn account, OR are allowed to link their steam account to the PSN account.

So basically, for quite a few people this means the requirement will lock them out of the game. Sure, VPN’s and linking accounts outside of their home region is apparently possible, but then they run the risk of getting their account(s?) banned.

https://steamcommunity.com/stats/1363080/achievements huh? the numbers show differently (for me, at least) on the page.

Dunno if it is good or bad, but Warframe has this loading screen where you see players’ ships and you can steer them a bit. No real point to it, but at least it’s something to do when waiting for someone to load in.

just… bookmark folder? menu -> bookmarks -> “…” on the bookmark folder you want -> open all in private tabs?

What? Is there some context I should know about waffle houses?

1. the graffiti on the wall. apparently “hard r” is offensive. Wouldn’t even known about it if it wasn’t for some hubbub around the game.
2. cleavage, I guess?
3. can’t see anything else than the bloodspatter on the character either.

ah, right. that’s a thing.

Goes to show how little I have needed it (or how little shame I have) :P

wonder if it’s going to rat someone out by saying something along the lines of
