Is Cosmic Invasion a step up from Shredder’s Revenge?

I’m trying to find a modern beat ’em up with a low level of complexity and no RPG mechanics, so I can have light gaming sessions with friends and my wife.

I’m considering Cosmic Invasion, but since it’s a recent release, it’s hard to get a good sense of it.

If you had to choose between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Invasion, which would you get?

For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?

I have this question. I see people, with some frequency, sugar coating the Nvidia GPU marriage with Linux. I get that if you already have a Nvidia GPU or you need CUDA or work with AI and want to use Linux that is possible. Nevertheless, this still a very questionable relationship.

Shouldn’t we be raising awareness about in case one plan to game titles that uses DX12? I mean 15% to 30% performance loss using Nvidia compared to Windows, over 5% to 15% and some times same performance or better using AMD isn't something to be alerting others?

I know we wanna get more people on Linux, and NVIDIA’s getting better, but don’t we need some real talk about this? Or is there some secret plan to scare people away from Linux that I missed?

Am I misinformed? Is there some strong reason to buy a Nvidia GPU if your focus is gaming in Linux?

Edit: I'm adding some links with the issue in question because I see some comments talking about Nvidia to be working flawless:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1nr4tva/does_the_nvidia_dx12_bug_20ish_performance_loss/

Please let me know if this is already fixed on Nvidia GPUs for gaming in Linux.

Building your own gaming handheld?

Many build their own PC. Nowadays there are quite many models of handhelds but most are plagued with at least one of these problems:

Too bulky

Low Performance

Poor Battery

Poor screen

I'm not sure a Steam Deck 2 or 3 or 4, etc... mini, with efficient battery will be launched some day.

With the SteamOS I was starting to think if maybe I should try to build my own handheld.

Assembling all the parts available out there, re-purposing discarded devices parts.

Is this some kind of stupid idea? Not looking for validation, I'm just looking to learn if others tried.

Kove 450

Read about this bike on Reddit. Yeah, sorry, I'm still transitioning.

Watched a couple of videos. Not gonna lie, it called my attention. If was some know brand I'd probably already contacted my local dealer.

Does anyone has some inputs about it?

Another mouse question but somewhat different from last week

Hey, I saw the post last week about a quest for a MMORPG mouse and it inspired me to ask for help as well. My needs are similar but not exactly the same from the OP last week:

  1. Gaming MMORPGs and FPS (like everyone I guess)
  2. I want specific 3 or 4 buttons additional to the front buttons, placed on the sides
  3. Under 100g
  4. Length up to 127mm (small hands)
  5. No thumb rest is probably best.

It doesn't seem that we have many new mouse models with those requirements which is a bummer. I identified some ambidextrous mouses distributing the buttons which I think I could perhaps make it work but not sure. Here are the ones that I found. PLEASE COMMENT IF I SHOULD REMOVE ONE OF THOSE FROM MY LIST OF CONTENDERS AND WHAT WOULD YOU PICK:

a. Razer Viper Ultimate -- disqualified because is Razer

b. Logitech G PRO -- 60 hours battery may not be enough for today standard

c. Pulsar X2A

d. Razer Viper 8khz -- disqualified because is Razer

e. Alienware Tri-Mode -- side buttons can't be disabled if desired

f. MMOPRO -- mouse sensor not optimal

g. Machenike L8 Pro -- not sure if it has a third button on the sides

h. Edifier Hecate G4M Pro

i. Kone XP Air -- looks to be what I'm looking -- at 126mm it may be too large for short hands (in another context this sentence would be quite odd)

j. Pwnage -- having to adopt a criteria this one uses 3370 sensor and the newest mouses are using the 3395 sensor. So, keeping the mouses with 3389 and 3395 sensor in this list. It also features only 38mm of height and it may not be ergonomic to use the buttons on the right side

k. Ducky Feather -- this has option to choose between Kailh 8.0, Huano Blue and 60M Switches, however they doesn't seem swapable and given that it is not wireless it may be better to cut off

l. Lenovo Legion M7 -- at 127mm it may be too large for small hands (in another context this sentence would be quite odd)

m. Keychron M6

n. Glorious Model l 2 -- probably the winner. Although, I will need to find a way to either accept the thumb rest or get rid of it

Final considerations, I don't care if is wired or not. I see myself almost all the time with the mouse wired. Although would be nice to be USB C featured for a paracord cable.

I need most help to understand those techinical differences that I'm not very familiar.

Thank you for the inputs

EDIT: I gave up. The mouse that I'm looking was not created yet. I decided to go with a light regular 2 side buttons mouse.

Heliboard autocorrect works?

Hey, I have a Heliboard question and not sure if this is the right place to ask, sorry.

I have three system languages in my phone. The three of them shows in Heliboard. I added three dictionaries, one for each. If I start typing using a secondary keyboard all words shows underlined in red. I see some words in the recommended area that seems to be correct but no matter the word selected it always shows underlined in red. This only happens for the second and third keyboard.

Is this how it suppose to works? Any inputs?

Post is displaying URL image in Thunder but not Voyager

Hi,

I'm comparing Lemmy Android app clients and I'm between Thunder and Voyager.

I noticed something weird with Voyager. There was this post it displays an image in the timeline using Thunder but it doesn't in Voyager.

Is it some configuration that I need to tweak in Voyager?

Also, is there some config to display short text about the post if has image? Like some description below if available

Thanks
