Lower expectations...?

Bethesda Game Studios has been on the decades-long trend of watering down all their proper RPG elements. Morrowind is significantly more jank in combat and movement than Oblicion. Oblivion significantly more jank than Skyrim.

However, Skyrim is over simplified compared to Oblivion in all of its RPG mechanics, and has removed a number of gameplay features that were previously present (e.g. Spell crafting). In turn Oblivion is itself more mechanically shallow than Morrowind, significantly lacking in such things as speech options.

The Oblivion Remaster is so more a reminder of something we'll never get anymore; an open world RPG that isn't as weighed down as Morrowind and not as over-simplified as Skyrim (though honestly complex NPC interactions need to come back from Morrowind).

TES VI will likely have better combat than Skyrim, but still incredibly dated compared to other games, and mechanics that can barely be called "RPG" anymore.

I'm very much feeling the last scenario. She seems incredibly clingy.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

Cool. I use Linux too, by the way.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Great. So we're going to be seeing this meme 8 times every month?

The US isn't invading Russia. The only involvement the US has in the Russo-Ukranian war is in your head.

Yes you have mentioned it. And I said "Oh no those poor Russian invaders".

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Ukraine isn't America, and Russia invaded Ukraine, not America. You have no logic here.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (8 children)

This is true in most cases. Unless you're the invader. There will never be an excuse to initiate an invasion.

I expect a good company to know and work with good tools, not cheap ones.

Then you're incredibly naive and haven't paid attention to the gaming industry these days.

Ukraine is the country being invaded. Russia is the one invading. That is as simple as it is. You invade = you are the aggressor = you are the evil one.

You'll expect it to always suck because you're the consumer. UE has, since UE4, put itself in the position of being the number 1 go-to engine everyone thinks about when doing amazing visuals as easily and cheaply as possible. Even indie devs instantly think about Unreal when thinking about good looking graphics.

So yes, I blame the engine for making itself a cheap, lazy way of making great looking graphics, because it's even effecting how GPU's are being developed.

But of course! Those poor Russians just had to do a whole invasion, entirely out of self defense!

 

First, let me get my system details out of the way:

  • CPU: Ryzen 5600x

  • GPU: Intel Arc A770

  • RAM: 32 GB DDR4

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

  • KERNEL: 6.8.0-55-generic

  • MESA: 25.0.2 (from kisak)

I am having issues with Unreal Engine 5 games, most recently with the Nightengale Demo. Games built on other game engines, and mostly older Unreal Engine games, work fine (i.e. Baldur's Gate 3, Age of Empires 4, Helldivers 2). Here are the problems I've experienced so far (assume that I have already gone to ProtonDB and tried a number of the launch commands I found there):

  • Complains that my system isn't DX12 compatible (Nightengale specifically does this when trying to launch the game with Proton Experimental, Proton Hotfix, or Proton-GE).

  • Immediate crash, with the UE5 crash window showing (Nightengale does this when trying to launch the game on any other Proton version).

  • Launches to a black screen and stays that way... forever... until force-closed.

  • Launches, but runs choppy, below 10 fps, unresponsive, and with terrible graphic issues (The Ascent, a UE4 game, does this specifically).

Has anyone gotten Nightengale and other UE5 games to run on Intel ARC GPUs? I've been searching for hours and only found some sporadic threads about it (ones that aren't over 2 years old).

I've rooted my android phone many years ago. Back then that was a different phone than I have now, and I was still using Windows.

I'm now trying to find a way to root my current phone (Motorola g62 5G), and have no idea how to do it through Linux. However, I seem to only be able to find instructions that are specific to windows.

How would I go about doing this on Linux (specifically Ubuntu)?

EDIT:

Thanks to a number of answers on here I've managed to find my way and rooted my phone. Thanks again, guys!

 

First a definition for this question, because there are many kinds of sci-fi out there and they sometimes liberally use cool sounding words without explaining them:

A disruptor is a kind of weapon that weakens, or "disrupts", either material bonds (breaking a material into molecules), molecular bonds (breaking a molecule into atoms), or atomic bonds (breaking an atomic nucleus into protons, netrons, and free electrons. Almost like instantly turning into plasma).

Temperature can do these things, but the idea behind a disruptor, specifically, is that it happens through some kind of catalyst, rather than brute-forcing with insane amounts of heat.

Would such a weapon physically be possible (even if we don't know how to make them just yet)?

How would a target realistically behave when hit by a disruptor?

 

So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows.

Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not.

I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.

 

I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.

But...

It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.

The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.

 

There are many other bee species that can sting Humans and survive, but the European honeybee has a barbed stinger, so it cannot remove the stinger once it's stung. In attempting to remove the stinger the bee will rupture its lower abdomen and then die.

Why? What is the evolutionary advantage to that?

 

I apologize if this video has already been posted here. I did a rudimentary look through the posts of the past few days and couldn't see it.

 

Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists.

However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White".

Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?

I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.

Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?

EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
