Star Wars Outlaws' $110 and $130 editions prompt a collective sigh from potential players tired of season passes and ill-advised early access periods in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Well I'll just wait for the ultimate edition to go on sale for $50 or whatever.

I guess this is kind of the logical conclusion of the "never buy unless it's more than 50% off" attitude.

Any thoughts on Aylsworth? in c/wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social

Thanks, now I'm going down the rabbit hole of all the custom options.

So on their site they are pretty clear about the Kopperkant being made in China, but specifically say the Drakkant Stainless and Ti are made in the US. I will take a look though!

I'm specifically considering the Drakkant Ti. I have a Rockwell 6S but I want something a bit more aggressive. Does anyone have a razor from them? Is it solid quality?

Google explains Gemini’s “embarrassing” AI pictures of diverse Nazis in c/technology@lemmy.world

The best part is that this was added in response to people complaining about it not generating diverse enough people, so they made it randomly add different races to person requests that don't specify race.

Is there an easy way to trick games into scaling? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

For any one who finds it in the future - I just set a Steam launch with gamescope set to half my native resolution, fullscreen and enabled fsr. Games run at the weird 1128x752 and FSR makes it look even better but I get great performance.

Just wanted to report back that this worked perfectly.

It's from Star Wars Episode 1.

I haven't watched that movie in years and watched it the other day with my son.

To be honest you run into issues with gas stations, too, and often need to look for the right one.

It's weird that PHEVs are just now taking off when BEVs are becoming more viable.

EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea" in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] raptir@lemdro.id 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Why does a game cost that much to make? I'm not saying every game should be an indie, but given what indies can accomplish it's a little ridiculous to spend $125 million.

This is the first one I've read that feels over explained. I think this would be funnier if it didn't have the "when birds don't read" text.

New album is fantastic as a whole, but this song is amazing.

Why do AI image generators have a stroke when they try to generate text? (lemdro.id)
 

We can generate AI images, we can generate AI text, but text in an image is a no go?

Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11? (lemdro.id)
 

I can't imagine there is but I'm wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

Any other recommendations?

Who are your favorite independent metal artists? (lemdro.id)
 

While even the artists signed to the major label imprints aren't as popular as some other genres, today's ease of distribution means we have some great independent artists to listen to. What are some you'd like more people to know about?

  • Cauldron Born a cool solo project that puts out some consistently solid US Power Metal. He currently has a new album on indiegogo. Some of his earlier stuff can be a bit rough around the edges so try his newer albums if you're interested.
  • Osyron is a very cool progressive metal group. At least one of the members is active on Reddit.

Any quirks to be aware of with Linux on the AMD Framework 13? (lemdro.id)
 

My laptop is arriving on Monday and I haven't picked a distro yet. I currently use Debian but that is on older hardware. I'm experienced with a lot of distros so I'm a bit flexible here. I was thinking openSUSE for the sake of the latest and greatest AMD drivers, but I do see that Fedora is officially supported while openSUSE is not. Are there any hardware compatibility issues I could expect?
