I wish I could switch, I even tried recently(last week). But one of my hobbies is sim racing, and the main game just works extremely poorly, like 30 - 130fps, and Devs have said that they don’t want to support linux so they will likely turn of the anti cheat support.

No, I can’t really switch because there isn’t anything equivalent that works on Linux.

As soon as that works well, or I build a 2nd PC I will switch (no I am not going to bother with dual booting cause I will just spend most of the time in windows)

It also runs on windows as well, and has Amazon games integration.

I have been spending a bit of time enjoying the Nords in Race Room Racing Experience, the game is a lot of fun and really enjoying their new ranked races.

I have also spent some time in Le Mans Ultimate, but have had a bad time since the last update, which had been turning me off it. Turns out the update broke something so it no longer matched the driver for wheel rotation, and manually setting the has fixed everything. Bring on the 6hrs of Monza this weekend.

The Finals has been my go to multiplayer game and is amazing fun. Love the 3v3v3v3 capture and hold with all the destruction.

I also picked up Escape from Duckov in the sale, that has been a lot of fun and has been very satisfying to chill out with after racing or a few rounds of the finals.

This pretty much sums it up for me, I don’t specifically hate Christmas but I don’t celebrate it.

I do loathe winter as a whole though. Weather is shit, the lack of day light hours, and just general miserable nature of this time of year can fuck off.

I don’t know, makes a lot of sense critically to me.

If you think about the last few big games they were behind, Hogwarts Legacy stands out, Mortal Kombat I guess, throw in what ever the last Lego game was.

But you also have Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights, Multiversus these massive games that just have an awful reputation.

Arkham Knight is nearly a decade old, Middle Earth series is around that same time. Back for Blood is newish but that never exactly set the world on fire.

My gut reaction was pretty shocked, cause I have amazing memories and fondness of some WB games, then I remember that was 10+ years ago with MK9, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Mad Max, Bastion, Scribblenauts…

Well, that seems like a good time to check things out. Thanks for letting me know.

I dont think it looks that bulky at all to be fair. It looks like a PS5 controller, but on the stand I have.

I think it looks like it will be the most comfortable and usable controller I will own, cause I love the PS5 controller, and I love the steam deck. This is the best combination of that.

How much luck am I going to have with my SIM rig? Moza R12 and CRP pedals.

I know Le Mans ultimate will run mostly fine with a custom proton. But I have no idea where to start with the wheel, and what I can find seems like it might be out dated but could be a right pain(especially on bazzite) to get installed.

Will the real Banksy please stand up

I think(but it has been a long time since I touched gamepass) there is a timeframe between login checks.

So you might be able to download something, use it for a week, then have to re-authorise again.

But I don’t know the time frame, so might be 48 hours or a month.

Game pass isn’t going to come to steam deck. Not as a native app that installs games locally. You can already stream games through the web browser that’s all you will get.

The fact they are making changes to windows and partnering with Asus on releasing Xbox hardware in the same space is more than enough evidence, but also, the steam deck is a tiny part of the market(it might be the best but it is still tiny).

Linux as a whole is also nothing for Microsoft to worry about, it is slowly increasing in market share, sure. But it is nothing on the scale of windows, and won’t be for years at the current growth rate.

Zen on desktop. Still using Firefox on android.

Only lettuce. I wonder what would last longer

I really wish sim racing worked well on Linux. The other stuff I need windows for I can work around or compromise. But the sim rig is just too damn windows dependant

Along with hardware issues, where you may not have access to the software for the wheel or it might just not work at all. Games can also just not work. I know LMU doesn’t work, ACC can be a bit spotty at times as well. iRacing seems to be broken.

Unfortunately sim racing on Linux is not a good experience

Yea… I would definitely get more sources.

Rather than scales, blobfish have loose skin. That skin, along with the ocean pressure, keeps the blobfish’s shape. But outside the ocean environment, they tend to fall apart.

Sim Racing is one of the reasons I am still on windows. I can play most of my games nicely with Linux, but I spend a huge chunk of time racing in the evening. And it is just very hit and miss, and hardware can be a bit of a pain.

Unfortunately it is easier to just stay in windows than reboot every time I want to play something else.

You can create your character, don’t have to used the one from the beta

I didn’t even dare to hope. Just look at the games that have been put out over the decade? With such high quality games like Anthem, Andromeda and now Veil Guard.

Yeah, Bioware is just a name, and has no prestige anymore.

Rollerdrome is the name of the game in the picture.

Could also talk about Olli Olli World which also go delisted at the same time.

But I am not clicking on the article to double check.
