Moorwing filtered a lot of players because if you don’t move the flea caravan, it blocks the entrance to Bellhart. That change makes sense imo.
As for Sister Splinter, I’m not sure why they nerfed her. I guess some players got overwhelmed by the spawned enemies in phase 2.
It’s been 2 hours since the game launched and I STILL can’t check out. Not even steam sales had servers this busted!
Performance should be relatively the same across every distro, there are benchmarks online you can check. I didn’t like Bazzite with my short time using it though, being immutable means you have to jump through hoops to install something that isn’t available as a flatpak. Like I mentioned in another comment the battery life was also not great, and I found it to be a little slow in general.
When I’m on battery I mainly use the browser. When I’m plugged in it’s usually gaming.
Battery life is really good, on par with Windows on my current laptop. For some reason battery life was really bad on Bazzite, like 30% worse or so. I don’t know how it compares to other distros.
I switched to Cachy 2 months ago and I think my distro hopping days are over. It’s so, so responsive and reliable. People scared me off arch-based distros for being bleeding edge but so far it’s been very stable, I haven’t encountered any major issues.
If you’re thinking about switching, do it. Switched off from Bazzite and I’m not looking back.
Yes, it should work just fine. Use something like Lutris or Heroic Game Launcher.
I was in both communities at the time… Only the OGs will remember when the only thing we had to go off of Elden Ring was a random rumor that called it Great Rune.
It looks fantastic, I’m glad they took their time with it and didn’t cave to release it early.
Bloomberg also did an interview with the team which is a good read.
We made it. We freakin’ made it. I hope it’s a shadowdrop because I don’t wanna wait much longer.
Some of my favorites:
I had a bigger list around somewhere but I can’t find it… These games are all pretty darn good though.
This project is definitely a parent studio decided that they didn’t like the game, so they decided to cancel it.
If you’ve read the past few development updates, it’s very likely that the team leadership is at fault and not Riot. They basically spent the last ~3 years moving the game to a new engine and the most they had to show was some concept art. I hoped that they were developing in secret to have some big reveal down the line, but it seems like the game really was going nowhere.
I’m reading it more like the longest “we blew our budget and had no game” post.
From their new page on AI. God, who asked for this? How much time and money did they waste integrating these useless AI tools? I was optimistic that they mentioned OCR but the more I look into it the worse it gets, nobody wants to generate AI images in their text editor. I don’t want a chatbot to tell me facts about butterflies in my presentation tool. Wtf? I’m not usually this upset about random AI integrations but this is the exact thing Microsoft would do and why people would choose onlyoffice instead.
Edit: Well, the good news is that this AI garbage seems to be a plugin that’s not included by default, so they at least have some sense in them.
That’s… Kind of insane! I’ve been following Bitcraft every now since it got announced but I never expected them to go to this direction. The blog post makes sense but I’m curious what license they’re going to use. It could be a legal minefield to try and stop people from stealing the game, re-branding it, then profiting off of it.
It’ll be really curious to see how this plays out because there isn’t really any major games that went open source, much less one that’s going to be actively monetized like Bitcraft.
Our focus will be on a smooth and successful Early Access launch on Steam, which is our highest priority. Only once we are happy with the state of the game will we start the process of open sourcing BitCraft.
Anyway, it sounds like open-sourcing the game might take a while. I hope early access works out for them.
It doesn’t do anything by default, you have to go to settings > zen mods > click the settings icon next to the mod name.
If you set the options and nothing happened then I’m not sure, it worked for me instantly when toggling stuff off.
I’ve started using more Zen Mods recently too, the most important one I would say is Zen Context Menu - which lets you de-clutter the options when you right click anything. There are way too many options being shown when you right clicked the sidebar, but it’s a lot nicer to use now.
I also bought a PSTV when they were on clearance for less than 20 bucks, makes for a nice little gaming console for the bedroom or guest bathroom.
The… Guest bathroom???
I owned a PSP Go a few years ago, it’s a great device. I loved how tiny it is, but the screen was a little too small for me, and it didn’t handle emulation that well. Loved playing Lumines and Patapon on it, though!
I agree, it’s about the perfect size for me. Just small enough to fit in my jacket pocket.
I honestly wish PC handhelds had a similar size, but they’re all tablet-size. Someone had an image comparing the Vita with the Steam Deck and it puts into perspective how large handhelds have gotten.
Moorwing comes back eventually, don’t worry about it for now.
