Well… That sucks. It looked like a decent update on Dirt Rally 2 as well

redisdead,

It’s a good game, sucks that they killed it.

uzi, to pcgaming in NVIDIA switching to open kernel modules by default in future driver update for Turing+

This will be excellent if each BSD operating system can build and compile their own nVidia drivers from source.

Kernel modules aren’t the same as drivers. They’re an interface for drivers.

uzi,

They service the same purpose as a driver, and FreeBSD has user added kernel modules, I forget if OpenBSD does but I’m hoping so.

Shadowedcross, to pcgaming in With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2

I think Valve likes to wait until the technology has become available for the sequel to be a massive improvement in every aspect, which I can respect.

ILikeBoobies, to pcgaming in Crusader Kings III gets a Free Weekend plus a big Paradox sale on Steam

Tried 2, kept saying dlc missing and couldn’t get multiplayer to work

Not really worth the investment even if it’s free

mrfriki, to pcgaming in With a Nintendo Switch 2 on the way, I hope Valve make a Steam Deck 2

They will, in due time. Such is the nature of tech world.

rotkehle, to pcgaming in Valve graphics dev gets Gamescope working on NVK with Explicit Sync

exciting stuff.

RootBeerGuy, to gaming in Descent 3 has been made open source
@RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Was 3 any good? Last one I played was 2 and that was pretty awesome.

DuffmanOfTheCosmos,

Playing Descent II online was one of the highlights of my childhood back in the early days of internet gaming. The community was excellent too, with a lot of custom maps created using the D2 Level Builder, which I got pretty good with myself haha.

Mango,

I only played 1 and that was awesome! 6DOF master race!

Fluke,

I loved them all, but if I had to choose

Descent 2 > Descent 1 > Descent 3

3 was a well done transition into a new type of game engine. Good advancement of the story. Worth playing if you are a fan of the first 2. Felt like the developers cared for and stuck to the vision.

nice

I smell a Descent 3 HD remake

philoneous, to pcgaming in Steam FPS Fest 2024 is live with tons of great discounts

System Shock remake on sale too, Deck supported.

Defaced, to pcgaming in Riot Games talk Vanguard anti-cheat for League of Legends and why it's a no for Linux

Basically they pulled skewed and cherry picked metrics showing extremely low Linux activity to justify locking those players out of playing their game. It’s scummy and their “trust me bro” attitude towards vanguard should be concerning more than anything.

What I took away from this article was that there’s a shit load of cheaters in LoL, 15% of ranked matches or something like that had cheaters or smurfs. 1 in 10 games in NA and 1 in 5 matches in Europe is just insane.

wewbull, to linux in Explicit GPU Synchronization for Xwayland now merged

I get the feeling this was the pragmatic winning over the perfectionist.

possiblylinux127, to linux in Linux continues to be above 4% on the desktop

Honestly the desktop of the future is Chrome OS if we are being honest

krimsonbun,

haven’t laughed like that in ages thank you for that

possiblylinux127,

I’m dead serious. Just look at the younger generation

krimsonbun,

the younger generation is fed up with crappy cromebooks stuffed with even more spyware that they’re forced to use by their school.

possiblylinux127,

But at least some of them will buy what they grew up on

agelord,

Nah, m8, desktop and ChromeOS, these two words don’t go in the same sentence together

nicoweio,

The future as in this will dominate some day or as in this will be the best some day? Cause only one seems reasonable to me.

possiblylinux127,

Chrome OS has a simplified desktop experience. I think people who don’t do technical work and that grew up with Chrome OS will continue to use Chrome OS

Never gonna happen because Google will stop developing it any day now.

possiblylinux127,

I seriously doubt it

avidamoeba,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah I kinda doubt it too. However there’s a real possibility for them to eventually replace it with Android, once they get the desktop mode finished up. Especially given how they’ve started caring about costs lately, maintaining two OSes with a lot of overlap might trigger some axing.

kzhe,

Chromos will definitely be big, but its limitations mean that it won’t definitely not be able to just take it over.

And given that it relies on Linux apps to run non Android or web apps, AKA desktop apps, I’m quite happy if it grows—Linux development becomes encouraged.

afterthoughts, to linux in Oh Snap! Canonical now doing manual reviews for new packages due to scam apps

Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt this will be very effective.

stormesp, to games in Orange Pi Neo Linux gaming handheld starts at $499 with Ryzen 7840U, Ryzen 8840U at $599

those are pretty good prices for 7840 and 8840. Most handhelds with a 7840 have been closer to 1k.

PoorYorick, to pcgaming in Backpack Battles has sold 500,000 copies in two weeks on Steam [Godot Engine]

It is a really interesting concept that has been executed very well. It is surprising how addictive this game is once you start getting the hang of it.
