Hond

Tried the demo. Its 42gb to download, lmao. Its UE5. It runs like ass. Like my 5800X3D and 6900XT combo isnt the very best anymore. But it can handle every big AAA game with gorgoues graphics just fine. But Bus Bound seems to be the limit. Better upgrade to a 5090, i guess. Seriously i barely hit 60 fps on medium(without lumen for GI and reflections) and balanced(!) upscaling. The artstyle of the game doesnt even shine on ‘epic’. But on medium it looks like a 10-15 year old budget title and still runs like ass. Also TSR/FSR/DLSS/XESS is a must. If you atleast want a clean image with low graphics: though luck. Temporal artifacting and smearing are on the table. Now eat shit.

The intro of the game is super low budget which isnt an issue but isnt a plus either. Driving physics are so barebones that i feel like its a barely touched UE5 premade physics asset. Collisions are laughably bad and worse then a lot of the PS1 racing games i played a few months back(this isnt an exaggeration). One time the busses(eseses?) collision box got stuck in the asphalt of a (slight) downward slope and the physics exploded. Amateur hour. Didnt make it to the managment aspect because i stopped caring.

Now to the positives: The game made me finally read into getting Optiscaler running on Linux to spoof FSR4 on my RDNA2 card. Its pretty solid for an upscaler. I will try it now with Control where the image quality always bothered me in the past.

Anyway: Fuck RPS and Saber Interactive for their misleading little adverticle.

Linux gaming is in a really good place and i say that as a VR and simracing player. My logitech wheel works perfectly after minuscule tinkering. With VR i have here and there some issues getting particular games running. But the vast majority of stuff just works which is pretty damn cool.

With that said Linux is still a learning process for me after a year. A lot stuff is straight up just better than on windows. Other things not so much. Audio over HDMI is flakey with my setup. It just stops working sometimes. Putting my PC to sleep and waking it up again breaks stuff regularly so i just stopped using the sleep function. Lots of other little issues pop up every other week. Sometimes it can be solved by googling for 2 minutes. Other times i needed to take hour long deepdives with the result of not beeing wiser after.

I dont regret the switch one bit. But in these kind of threads on lemmy you could easily walk away with the impression that the switch to Linux is a cakewalk. But it isnt. I was a Windows poweruser for 25 years. I never needed somebody to help me. I could fix my shit all by myself and a bit of googling. With linux a lot of stuff is familiar but for a lot of other stuff you start at square one. It can be exhausting at the beginning. But i say all that to just put you in the right mindset. If you expect a manegeable uphill battle you probably will be positively surprised how easy most of the gaming stuff is. But if you expect to just switch and everything working out without some involvement you will get frustrated sooner than later.

Probably came out of a easter lamb form for normally cake.

You can give Intel shit for a lot of stuff but they had a damn good run from 2nd gen I-Series till 14th gen for generational naming. Model naming especially when it comes to the details… Yeah but that seems to be the industry standard and their main competitor AMD is so much worse when it comes to naming consistency.

tbf it is a screenshot of a porn scene. i checked via reverse image search… for science and then i wanked either way. the penis touching is implied in the context of this meme. in the context of the scene it wasnt just “implied” “touching”.

so yeah, its literally porn and my conclusion is thats a pretty valid use of the nsfw tag. while i’m not a prude i can think of enough situations where i would be glad when i dont have some explaining to do. i first didnt pick up on it and also thought of a stock photo. but the pretty visible underwear of the happy pumpkin lady can be a dead giveaway that its porn.

But YT definetly fucks something up when stable volume is enabled. My non audiophile ass can notice it instantly even with podcasts. It sounds significantly worse.

Not OP but i often just use the timer in these cases. I also have a cheap bluetooth remote that was included with a selfie stick ten years ago(got it for the 1/4" thread to put my phones on a tripod).
But atleast on android you can also use most bluetooth game controllers as a remote to release the shutter. I snapped quite a few pics with my xbox and 8bitdo(small and pocketable) controllers over the years.

Edit: Which reminds me that my old DSLR had a IR receiver for remotes. So i often just borrowed my parents tv remote in the night because one random button had the same ir signature as the official camera remote of the manufacturer. Good times

not wearing pants is a sign of success tbh

Why would you intentially seek up a prostitute in a game though?

i’m trapped… fuuuuck

What? ‘IF?’ ?? JUST TELL ME YOU STUFFED FUCK!!!

Fair, but your real life constelation is pretty different to a videogame.

Eh, i got over it pretty fast. But in the end i was really happy about that experience since in gave me introspection about myself. More than i would ever expect from a fucking shooty video game with light rpg elements.

NGL, happened to me exactly like that. It was a bit ‘unpleasent’ as in the unknown can be pretty scary. Like i’m fairly open and especially dont give a fuck what anybody else does. But the first person depiction of same sex… sex was pretty intimate in that game. Yeah, i like to see myself as _progressive _ and open but i’m still an average cis white male gamer. I’m mature enough to admit that it challengend me. I’ve never seen something like that. It was my first time. Dont get me wrong i still dont have anything against LGBTQ+. In the end i handled it as dumb as it sounds. But tbh i never saw somebody talk about that? Like i still want to be an ally but experiencing _gay _ stuff kinda first hand still was weird.

To me it looks like fashion lifestyle gadget and not a camera. Its a shitty digital camera combined with an integrated printer. I dont think it will last decades. Beginning with the integrated battery. All of which would be allright but ~330€ is a steep pricepoint. You could get very similar results by getting yourself a smartphone from the last ten years for free or very cheap and combine it with some apps and a canon selphy printer. Or get rid of the printer and get the pictures developed in the next shop. Unless the instant aspect is crucial for you ofcourse. With all that money you could buy even a cheap lomo camera and some film. Or a m3/4 Olympus/Panasonic camera from the last decade to play around with. They had funky lenses too. Idk how good the market for 3rd party batteries is though. idk lots of different opportunities at the same time to get creative and still be within the budget of that single fuji which on top has pretty expensive ongoing costs with that instant film.

That would be my thoughts on it.

Since i saw that gameplay footage which was released like somewhere in the last 5 years its all i can think about when Sq42 is in the news again. Until that point i just hoped that maybe somehow someday an unpolished but interesting game will come out. But that footage looked so unfun and ass after ~10 years of development i lost all hope.

Obviously these are honeypots.

You can install linux via bullets now? how cool is that?

this will be xbox in 2032:
