Making my gaming space more comfortable. I work at home on my desk, so I’m also often tired of sitting there when I’m done with work. A few months ago, I purchased a projector, which I can use while comfortably sitting in an armchair. Playing games on a 100 inch projector screen just makes them look way more impressive as well, even though my normal screen is technically better in every way. I also play on my couch using my Steam Deck.
Assassin’s Creed. The actual gameplay is almost never as interesting as just walking around a meticulous recreation of ancient civilizations as a digital tourist.
According to the logs, it’s trying to use your laptop’s integrated Intel chip instead of your nvidia GPU. You’ll have to set it to use your actual GPU, not sure where to do that in Garuda Linux though.
I am specifically referring to RTX technology and not ray tracing in general.
There is nothing specifically “RTX” about the reflections in GTAVE.
The RTX reflections in the GTA:V:E are very satisfying I love all this.
It’s called Raytracing. RTX is just a marketing term Nvidia uses for their GPUs, GTAVE has nothing to do with it.
I agree. Pokemon once was my favorite video game series, but it has been technically and to some extent creatively stagnant for quite some years now. And whenever people point that out online, there is always a vocal horde of fans coming to Gamefreak’s defense, saying things like “Pokemon never looked good”. Which wouldn’t be a good argument, but it’s not even true. Pokemon games were never technically advanced, but they had a simple, clean look in the 2D/2.5D era. S/V has some really appallingly low-res textures in places that wouldn’t have looked out of place on the N64. It just looks muddy and inconsistent to a point where it’s distracting from the game itself. At the same time it runs at sub-30 FPS quite often.
Probably the only good looking Pokemon games we got this generation were the “Let’s Go” ones. Those had simple but consistently good-looking graphics just like the older titles.
It has been quite a while since I played it, but I remember it being pretty good but with a combat system that takes some getting used to.
Apotheon comes to mind.
Because they’re owned by Microsoft, who certainly have no interest in Linux support.
I mean they still ran in an emulator on Linux. It had plenty of native games as well though, like Cave Story in the photo.
Nice! Never had the F100. Always wondered how that “Analog stick” (that I think was really just a DPad?) controlled.
Sure. But will it be profitable and will enough people want to use it? I think most likely the answer is no.
Yeah somehow I totally misread that, sorry.

AMD has much better Linux drivers than Nvidia though, so that line of reasoning doesn’t really work.
I was thinking of getting it, what’s up with Stalker 2?
It’s very buggy and an absolute mess from a technological perspective. The NPC simulation has been restricted to a tiny radius around the player, so you can for example see snipers spawn in when you get close to their towers. Even with that limited distance, the game is very CPU bound and performance takes a huge hit in populated areas. In general the NPC AI is pretty braindead and much worse than previous Stalker games. I’ve had to reload earlier saves a couple of times due to NPCs randomly getting hostile, the conversation UI staying permanently on screen and other progression stoppers. The graphics completely rely on TAA or DLSS and look like a checkerboarded mess without them. Despite all that though, I think it’s a pretty fun game and a remarkable achievement given the circumstances of its development.
To me it sounds more like the social media algorithms put you into the “gaming tech” corner so that’s all you see. Indie gaming is huge and not at all about graphics. Look at the currently popular games on Steam and a ton of them are technologically very basic.
So did the Deck but it ended up being pretty ergonomic in practice.

ProtonDB is generally quite helpful to find tweaks and fixes for games to run on Linux.
I haven’t used Lutris, but through Steam/Proton, installing a patch is basically as simple as changing the executable path from the game .exe to the patch .exe and then changing it back after the patch was installed.
