Oh crap, I thought an up-close picture of a broken monitor would be fun, but it replaced the link :D

The missing link, sorry:

Still had the warning from pacman show up when I posted this. But the CachyOS-provided kernel I’m on is “linux-cachyos-rt-bore” (realtime kernel, using it for low-latency audio work) while my regular kernel (basically there as a fallback option) is vanilla Arch and still on 7.2.11. I assume the realtime kernel will get the fix later.

The monitor? Smashed panel.

SKIP THE FARE? EXPECT THE DEATH PENALTY

On September 15th, the NYPD shot four people over the $2.90 fare

OMNY

So the NYPD can double tap and go

I guess they just don’t want to bother with it any more?

Sounds like it — it was posted by The Elder Scrolls Online, not Valve. (Edit: Yes, of course this still means Proton.)

By now I just expect it to work, unless it’s some drm-tastic ultrapopular multiplayer game. I don’t even check protondb any more…

proton

Is that even an option on the Mac? And “Proton games” wouldn’t show the Mac and SteamOS platform icon on the Steam store.

We're also releasing Civilization VII for MacOS and Linux / SteamOS. However, we don't have specs to share for those platforms at this time.

Now whether all this is just a mix-up in this age of “Linux ports aren’t worth it and they always suck anyway”… maybe.

Thanks -- fixing

640 bit ought to be enough for everyone!

Yes. I think Elder Scrolls Online and Guild Wars 2 were my last "anchors" to Windows (7, at the time). I barely ever booted into it… I wanted to be NOT IN WINDOWS more than I wanted to play big fat luxury games.

But I did keep it around until there just wasn’t anything left that I wanted to run but couldn’t. The first Humble Indie Bundles with games like FEZ and Limbo had been out by that point as well as a few bigger titles like The Witcher 2. Wine was much more painful than it is now.

I’ve generally made sure not to buy too “crazy” hardware (like Bluetooth controllers… yes, I’m old and a neophobe and I don’t know what else).

Well, Steam uses its Wine fork, Proton, under the hood (for non-native games). Nice to hear it’s seamless (I’m too far into having customised everything to know what the out-of-the-box experience is like)!

Waah! It’s still almost two months away! (Just went back to 200% scaling because of some fuzz and weirdness here and there that most people probably wouldn't bother noticing)

Well, I don’t really like headphones, so mostly I’m using my living room stereo like it’s 1987 and I just got my first Amiga.

I do have a pair of beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros (3.5 mm TRS) because they’re supposed to sound “neutral” and their main purpose is to aid in audio …“work”… and voice chat. But they’re just fine for gaming, I guess, and have been trouble-free and fairly pleasant to wear (as big headphones go).

Wired and wireless X-Box 360 controllers with the built-in kernel drivers, generally hassle-free these days!

Wine has come a long way! Though Linux-native gaming is not on AAA studios’ radar…

Jumbling up that bit of rote code was the joke! But the semicolon isn’t supposed to end the line; it tells BASIC to suppress the newline after the print statement. Makes for a better endlessly scrolling text experience ;)

As a non-owner of either handheld, I tentatively agree and would still rather get a Steam Deck.

Thanks :)

I haven’t announced it anywhere public yet (= our subreddit); I’m totally new to lemmy.
