So and so. Unreal Tournament 2003 came with a bootable Linux CD that went right to the game. Awesome concept but apparently they didn’t keep it up.

I just lowered the difficulty. All it did was make them take longer to kill anyways. Making it easier actually fit the narrative for me. Everything felt as epic as it should be.

“No, the Dreamworks face looks more like”

Assassin is actually amazing!

I hadn’t tried it in 2 different playthroughs because it’s rated really low online. But since I’ve used the other builds already, I figured I’d give it a go for Astarion in this new playthrough. He has an item that makes him invisible for two turns whenever he kills someone, which basically makes him a one man killing...

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Uhm, that item is only available when you play Dark Urge, right?

I guess we now have a timeframe in which to expect the release of Windows.

I wonder if this is of any use to them or if they’re already too far ahead.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

They changed it to MIT. You can basically do what you want with it.

Still no good virtual keyboard. If onboard worked on wayland that would be perfect.

Not perfect integration but with a workaround Onboard is somewhat usable.

On my Steam Deck I’m mostly using Steam’s keyboard with Maliit for logins and the lock screen and Onboard in case I need special keys.

The most important thing I take away from this is that I have to install that cat.

Here, let me downvote your comment for you. Can you feel that?

Problem is that it’s usually not a finished game. The old way at least gave stupid players a way to punish bad publishers.

This is a bad move for the customers.

Gives a whole new meaning to Kernel Panic.

Honor mode is the only one with legendary actions. You can always just keep playing when you die.

My first attempt was with a Githyanki monk. Easy Peasy. Most mess-ups I had were due to misclicks. Like when I killed half of the guests at the Tiefling party.

Don’t know. All I do know is that you cannot enable them for an already started game.

And to this day it’s a glitch in the Matrix.

I was so hyped for TF2. By the time it was actually released I didn’t even play FPSs anymore.

RSS. It’s still around but slowly dying out. I feel like it only gets added to new websites because the programmers like it.

I’m not even sure if any of the 3? 4? Wayland protocols allow for a fully featured osk. So this actually feels like the best outcome.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I tested it on Plasma 6. If I interpret the extest Readme correctly it uses the uinput trick. So I guess that it works with older versions as well. Maybe without the plasma integration.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

The problems with Maliit are that it lacks special keys like Ctrl, Alt, Tab, Esq, F1-F12, etc. And you cannot invoke it by yourself to type in XWayland applications or others which don’t pull up the keyboard by themselves.

The Gnome keyboard seems to be better in that regard but I couldn’t even find its name to pull it up outside of Gnome.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

In that case please state which Wayland support it has. That’s the beauty of standards, there are so many to choose from. And in the case of Wayland keyboards you have to know which one the keyboard and which the compositor supports, making it extra easy for the user.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Look at the extest readme, everything is there.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

How?

I mean, I got a different solution by now, but would be nice to know for the future.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I’ll have to try the uinput setting. Maybe the workaround isn’t needed after all. Or at least it doesn’t have to be so convoluted.

But yeah, it’s really just a dirty placeholder until we can get a proper solution in the next 50 years or so.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Not on Plasma Desktop. Maybe on Mobile. But I was not able to find out how to get it to Desktop.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

What distribution? No such thing for me with Plasma 6 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

OpenSUSE automatically adds ~/bin and ~/.local/bin to your $PATH if they exist.

Honestly, we’re so far that it’s easier to look for unsupported games. Those include those with draconian anti cheat (see areweanticheatyet.com) and those that can only be installed with the Windows store like Minecraft Bedrock edition (but for that the Android version works) and Gamepass games.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Sounds like Chemical X, the key ingredient to a Powerpuff Girl (besides sugar and spice and everything nice).

The problem is that Hasbro is desperately trying to make more money from WotC. But fairly recent actions indicate that they don’t have players’ best interests at heart. They fired all the contacts that Larian worked with. So nobody is left who has even a modicum of insight into how BG3 was done so well.

I fear several cheap cash grabs are in store for us. The first will probably be a quick and dirty DLC that will come out in a year or two.

bjoern_tantau,

In case you’re not being sarcastic, it is an old first person shooter where you fly in a kind of spaceship through labyrinthine mines and fight against rogue mine robots. It was defined by six degrees of freedom which made it very hard to orient yourself but which also made it stand out amongst other shooters.

I played the first two Descent games on an early VR headset with rudimentary head tracking and 30 Hz displays. They could make you sick just playing on a normal monitor. But in VR it was a literal pukefest. It was awesome!

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

With the games, make sure that you don’t want to play multiplayer games with unsupported anti cheat. They will probably never work on Linux without support from the game developers. See areweanticheatyet.com.

Reminds me that my daughter wanted to play Toca Life World on her PC. So I guess I would use it for that. As soon as I have the energy to do it.

I feel like I’m the only person who can’t make heads or tails of Krita’s interface. I can work with GIMP. I can easily find all the tools I need for simple to intermediate edits. But with Krita I find myself unable to even do simple stuff.

bjoern_tantau,

Whatever came out of the renamed fork? I can’t even remember the name they chose.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Oh, come on, now you’re just splitting hairs!

Different cities. Honour Among Thieves took place in Neverwinter.

Still, crazy shit is going on in both cities all the time. BG3 is already a direct sequel to Descent to Avernus which starts in Baldur’s Gate. The Tieflings are refugees from Elturel, a city near BG.
