My friend and I just started playing nightreign. So far we like it but find it difficult due to the battle royal mechanic. My friend lives to explore so we end up forgetting and then getting consumed by the border.

If I had to delete one forever, it would be ds1. I enjoyed the game very much so, but I enjoy the newer titles more and could live without it.

Love how conservatives always need to declare their praise for Trump before they're allowed to criticize him. Can't be letting the rest of the hive think they're a woke lefty.

Can this be done dynamically within the OS? Like if I wanted to put the CPU/GPU in an ultra low power state?

I'm not so worked up about heat damage specifically, but it does make my room really hot. Even when I seem to just be doing some basic tasks like browsing or watching a video.

 

I'm running bazzite on my desktop with an AMD 7800x3d and an AMD 7900XT gpu.

I have a PBO optimizer curve offset set to -30 in bios but I'm still getting pretty high temps in my case, even when idling. CPU is water cooled with a Corsair H110. CPU temps are around mid to upper 40c and can reach up to 80c when gaming.

I don't think it's an issue with the cooler because when when idling it's blowing out hot air on the exhaust fans in my case. The cpu cooling radiator is setup as an intake so it cools the liquid with cool ambient air.

I believe bazzite might be consuming a lot of power itself but I can't prove it because I have no way of viewing power usage. I tried setting up ryzenadj but it gave me an error about how my cpu family isn't supported. (It might be laptop only?)

If anyone has any recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it.

I think you misunderstand the logistics of having multiple products on a line using the same hardware but different price points. First of all, Valve isn't Nintendo. Despite them being very profitable and making a lot of money, they don't have the power like Nintendo does to mass order special parts for their devices.

With the AI hardware apocalypse, the cost of everything surged, even for OEMs. So with that in mind, if you had an offering of multiple devices that use the same components but one is cheaper and may potentially lose you money, do you keep that, or just consolidate everything into a single product line? Valve didn't remove the LCD because they didn't want to sell a cheap product, hell they put the device on some amazing sales while it existed. They removed it because selling a $300 device while the cost to build that is almost the same price is pointless, and at the end of the day, the purpose of Valve is to make money.

The new price of deck OLEDs reflect the reality that even a billion dollar company can't procure hardware contracts at a reasonable price. Even Nintendo is going to be raising switch 2 price and who knows if another hike to that will come later.

I assume that after this deck price hike, the steam machine is basically dead. If Valve does go through with the release, the cost will just be too high for what it is, and people would rather just buy a console at that price point.

The AI bubble is truly ruining the hardware industry, and I know it feels like an excuse right now, but Valve has no reason to be greedy. They already make enough money from the store, and the hardware that sold has always been fairly priced. Things are just truly fucked right now.

We need to go back to the days where video games come to an end. All this live service forever game bullshit is a cancer for the industry, and just incentivizes overt monetization

How is this not unconstitutional?

If you enjoyed this game, you'll really like shadow of war. It expands on a lot of the systems introduced in mordor and I really enjoy the nemesis system in that game, especially at higher difficulties.

Oh great, now gooner bait is infesting lemmy now too.

[–] anon232@lemmy.zip 54 points 6 months ago

Ah yes, people escaping the shackles of the privatized web in the name of .... gooner memes.

No one's asking to ban the content, just add a tag so people who actually work in places that might not take kindly to pornographic memes have a warning.

It's a shame you're getting downvoted for a simple opinion. Clearly people still think this is reddit.

This article sucks because it basically has absolutely no information about the study itself, but I wonder if its referencing games where women seem to be portrayed as these beautiful scantily clad goddesses. Even games like fortnite have slim women with tiny waists and big asses and this sets the expectation that this is what "a real woman" looks like.

I've seen a growing trend among young gamers who seem to only want "beautiful" people in their videogames, and while sure, we all don't want abominations for main characters, the standard of what "beautiful" means to gamers these days seems to be women with large breasts, big asses, and completely fake faces like as if they had a face filter. God forbid a game create a regular looking person as the main character without facing serious backlash from terminally online chuds. Look at games like Ghost of Yotei, Witcher, and Naughty Dog's Intergalactic for examples of what reactions you get for having "normal" looking characters.

All this is to say that the way people are portrayed in media has a profound affect on what they perceive they should look/act like in the real world. We've progressed for the last few decades in trying to cut down on the sexualization of women in media, only for it to ramp right back up again in the past few years as people praise eastern countries for making "Anti woke" games.

 

Hello, I've recently installed bazzite on my desktop pc with an AMD 7900XT. Whenever I try to run RDR2, no matter what proton version, the game boots then gets stuck loading with a little revolver icon and eventually leads to an error code 17 saying it couldn't connect to social club. Upon looking at the logs, I see that there's an error initializing the social club UI.

I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting and recreating prefixes and changing proton versions and nothing appears to work. The game runs fine in Windows but for some reason just won't work in bazzite. I can't really find much info either on the Internet so I'm hoping someone gets might have some ideas.
