To anyone familiar with Sway who’d like to try a scrolling WM, check out Scroll. It’s a fork of Sway (you can use the same config with minimal changes) which behaves similarly to Niri.

I think what Missphant was asking wasn’t “what is input latency” but was “does flatpak introduce more input latency than a ‘normal’ application”. Unfortunately, after a quick search I didn’t find any benchmarks. (I didn’t look very thoroughly.)

No no, it works fine now. Only the links are still a bit too dark.

I tried both Firefox and Chromium and neither showed the page correctly even though they both support it. Weird…

When I inspect the css, no element has a color attribute set, and the default value (in my “non dark mode” browser) is black.

Is the website supposed to be black text on dark grey background?

I also recently returned to Dirt 3 and was amazed at how good it still looks. It’s kind of crazy that Dirt 3 is less than 14 GiB, while Dirt 4 is 50 GiB, and Dirt Rally 2.0 is a whopping 100 GiB.

There’s one of Tux and Pingu.

It supports .NET Core since version 3.8.

You might be able to activate them if you get a key from somewhere (a boxed copy, key reseller, etc.).

It runs great but the EA app is a pain in the arse.

This takes me back to the Xbox 360 era.

I’m surprised Cyberpunk runs on the Steam Deck as well as it does. It truly is an incredible little machine.

I am continuously shocked that people play things like BG3 or Cyberpunk on their Steam Deck.

When one has no other choice, one plays one’s favourite game under any conditions. When I was little, I played Minecraft at 15 to 20 FPS and the lowest draw distance.

I don’t trust modern Bioware and EA to handle a new Mass Effect game well.

Recently when browsing through Steam, I stumbled on Whispers from the Star in which you help a LLM-driven character. It looks interesting and it has positive reviews on Steam but I haven’t played it yet myself.

It comes from the word metagame, i.e. the game beyond the game. I think it originally comes from game theory (the field of mathematics), later it began to be used in both game development and game playing (with slightly different meanings).

I’d be broader and talk about points of interest instead of dungeons, but yeah. This, the art design of the world, and the music. Those are the strongest points of Skyrim.

I was mostly only thinking about Skyrim’s world. Skyrim as a whole has many flaws.

For example, Fallout 3 doesn’t do a great job of this, as much of the world is baren with no story or gameplay. Half of the world feels like it could be cut out without much loss. The Yakuza games on the other hand, have smaller worlds but they feel massive and fun because there’s always something to do moments away.

On the other hand, the world of Fallout 4 feels very cramped; you can’t go 5 meters without encouraging something. Bethesda’s games are interesting in this aspect – the worlds of different games are built similarly, but they differ in some small parameters (as in the density of Fallout 4), so they’re ripe for comparison.

Personally, I feel there were two peaks in Bethesda’s worlds – Morrowind and Skyrim. Both for different reasons.
