To be fair, "game of the year" feels like it's meant to measure popularity, while "most innovative" sounds like it shouls measure how innovative a game is, which is perhaps why the two awards get such different reactions.

Definitely Jusant. It was just such a perfect game for me when I played it, chill but engaging in exactly the way I needed it, and something about the story just went straight into my heart unlike any other!

Ah it did indeed show much more info! I could pick out two things that seemed like error messages, I'll search the internet for them later but gotta run for Christmas celebration in a minute.

When starting Steam it told me "unable to init and enumerate GPUs with Vulkan" and "BInit - unable to initialize Vulkan!", which sounds potentially serious.

On trying to start the games (and maybe at other occasions too) it told me

Glib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_setting_schema_source_lookup: assertion 'source != NULL' failed

I'll look into them when I get the time, but I wanted to write them here anyway for completeness. Thank you for your help!

Thanks, it indeed says driver=nvidia!

It's a desktop! Dual-booted

I've heard that League is usually problematic on Linux, but it's not a deal breaker, my computer is dual booted anyway so I could always play it on Windows.

All the games, League aside, are purchased through Steam. I have only tried these games I mention, since they are the only games I've been playing since I set up my Linux partition, but since not a single one of them worked at all I have assumed that's it's probably not the games that are the problem.

Nvidia-smi confirms I'm using 545.29.06. About Vulkan though, i l noticed now that when I launch Steam through the terminal it says "unable to enumerate GPUs with Vulkan" and "Unable to initialize Vulkan". Could maybe that be the source of the issue then? Thanks a lot for your help either way!

Hey all!

So I've been wanting to get into Linux gaming for a while thanks to inspiration from this community, but I've struggled to get it working, and after a final try today I'm starting to lose hope. I haven't gotten a single game working, most of them using Steam and Proton, but I also tried League of Legends through Lutris. I don't know what to try next, other than maybe installing a different Linux operating system and trying again. Anyone with some advice on what I can do, or where I can turn for help? I've searched online as best I can but didn't find anything that seemed relevant.

Some details of what I've tried if anyone is curious: on Steam I tried Trine 4 and Jusant today, previously also Baldur's Gate 3 a few months ago. The games simply don't launch, though for BG3 and LoL at least the launcher starts. Usually no error message, but Trine did for once tell me "GPU error detected" today. I've tried both Proton Experimental and whatever the newest version is at the time, today Proton GE-Proton8-14. Some system details:

Distro: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS RAM: 16GB CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 six-core GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU Driver: Nvidia 545.29.06 (proprietary)

Hi all, I'm not sure if I'm playing Arcane Trickster wrong, or of that subclass just isn't for me, so I'd love some advice.

I'm level 4 now, and I find myself never using my spells in combat. I love trying to figure out the best ways to gain advantage for my sneak attacks, but since all my spells take a whole action to cast, I never feel like they are worth using for this purpose, when I can try to hide or go to an ally to help them fight in melee. Is there some neat way to use Arcane Trickster in unison with all the sneaking and backstabbing, or do the two objectives not quite work together?

You seem to imply that carbon offsets actually work, and while I've heard some do, I also had the impression that most don't

I have a FP4 and I'm very happy with it! It's a little chunkier than my last phone, but I think it works great. I haven't needed to repair it yet, but just knowing that I can is awesome. I never was one for the absolute cutting edge of smartphones, so I can't really tell you how it compares to those, but the camera is more than enough, and everything feels as new as it needs to be!

I had some issues with occasional ghost touches before, as someone else mentioned, but they seem to (finally) have patched them out just a couple of weeks ago :D

"inefficient", yet consume much less energy than planes for the same route. You seem to be using a very odd definition of efficiency!

Speed Racer (2008)! The Wachowski sisters directed it after the Matrix trilogy, and the silly and over-the-top aesthetics seem to have put of many, but I think it's a genuinely fun movie with great themes and some awesome emotional moments.

I started swaying towards defederating after reading this article, maybe you'd like to take a look and see what you think? It argues much better than I ever could.

[-] MrKurteous@feddit.nu 4 points 1 year ago

I mean maybe, but I can't help to feel a little like this is optimistic speculation, while I've read very well-written arguments for blocking threads.net that seem less (albeit still) speculative. I just don't want to lose what we have, and if we really want to keep growing then we can do so without Meta.
