Wow, congrats on the milestone!

Tbh, if this is how Japan does patent law, it’s a wonder they have as much technological progress as they do.

You’re not, but there’s a preexisting patent, and these three are basically extensions of that patent.

Essentially, Palworld needed to know what supplementary patents Nintendo was going to file in the future in Japan so they didn’t run afoul of the patent from the past. You know, textbook legal psychic stuff, really. /s

I hope Nintendo hurts itself in its confusion as its lawyers flail before the Japanese courts.

Cool! Thanks for building this

Man if that’s the case, that really sucks.

Tldr: it’s a crypto wallet stealer.

Always be wary of unknown code. Check comments on sites like Nexus. Run installers through virus checks.

Congrats, Australia! Hope y’all have lots of fun!

Alone. I don’t currently have friends that play it, but I still have a good time. Works great on Deck, and you can even make use of HDR settings, if you have an OLED version.

It’s a good time for SNES spiritual successors!

Mostly CrossCode. A fun little sci-fi action puzzler that pays homage to the SNES era of games. It’s similar to Spirit of Mana. Low power requirements, and it has a Linux-native version that works better than the Windows version (you need updated engine files if you play from itch.io).

I’m also playing a little bit of No Man’s Sky, but just here and there; I’m mostly playing that on my desktop.

I have. I have it on a laptop and will probably put it on my desktop (waffling between Bazzite and Arch). It’s great, and it’s one of the easiest setups I’ve had to get going with gaming. I recommend joining their Discord, too.

The only thing that is currently a problem, that may be a non-issue when bootc has a full release, is installing certain VPN clients. If it exists as a flatpak, RPM, or in fedora repos, should be fine. If it installs by copying various files around and making system changes on demand at runtime (like Private Internet Access), doesn’t currently work.

Cool. My first thought was how this would differ from blendOS, which is also immutable Arch. Seems like the main difference is the use of systemd-sysupdate to handle unprivileged updates.

Not sure how rollbacks are handled, but I only glanced at it.

Translation: We don’t feel like taking the effort to support Linux, so we need a scapegoat.

The BT/Network thing is a really important one. Sometimes you can replace them with a more compatible one (like an Intel AX201 vs AX210), but sometimes companies will cut deals and get some weird Broadcom module that only works on Windows for one specific board version.

Those are some pretty old cards. I wonder if that’s at least part of the source of your issues.

Since AMD has open source drivers, their cards tend to have better support for most things (like Wayland).

But in general, I think you can pick either and be fine. I have an old laptop with a GTX 960M, and it works great with Bazzite and the latest Nvidia drivers. My main desktop (RTX 3060ti) I haven’t yet switched, but the only distro that didn’t work on live media was MX Linux (it had problems with multiple monitors).

I like Arch. I also like Bazzite. I can’t decide which I want on my desktop, but I have a laptop that will forever be Bazzite.

I played MH World a bunch, but I couldn’t get into Rise, either. A bit too cartoonish, and not just graphically.

In any case, I have a backlog of hundreds of games from bundles and freebies (including the Mass Effect trilogy, which I’ve not yet played), so it’s not like I’ll be having less fun by skipping Factorio. We all have limited time, and we’ll all miss out on some gems.

And if the dev wants to gate the game by constantly raising the price, he’ll lose out on players like me. His choice, but he’s leaving money on the table, and the rest of the games are picking it up.

Yep, that’s a good way to view games. I do that as well.

And that’s what some people have said. I’ll play the demo tonight, but even for lots of fun, I can think of other ways to spend $35, as that’s a large sum for me.

But who knows? Maybe it will knock my socks off.
