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.

Try cleaning you cache as suggested in this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1086940/discussions/3/4032473436326468727/

It should be located in ~/.local/share/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3.

I have BG3 from GOG and got the Linux binaries from a friend.

I feel like this could be the root of the problem. The icons in the Windows version of the game might be in a different format, so the Linux binary is looking for files which do not exist. Something like that.

I’d suggest also installing the Teams app on your smartphone (if you have one) just in case something goes tits up. It’s (a little bit) less buggy than the web version.

There was an official Linux app but it was discontinued a while ago. There was also an unofficial flatpak which packaged the web version as a stand-alone app. I think it’s unmaintained now.

You used to be able to pay Microsoft ~20€ to enable developer mode, so you were able to sideload emulators and other homebrew apps to the Series S/X. I’m not if it’s still possible.

I’d do the same thing if the disc scratches. I’d download a cracked version from a weird Polish website.

I’m not getting 4 until it’s $60 or less - if then.

It has Denuvo; I wouldn’t get it if it was free.

Thanks for the reply! I was thinking more along the lines of “open hardware” — either a mouse manufactured by a larger company so that it can be easily repaired, with the manufacturer happy to sell you spare parts (something like Framework laptops), or a mouse designed by an internet enthusiast that you can assemble yourself from off-the-shelf components and 3D-printed parts.

I once saw a build-it-yourself kit for an ultra-light mouse somewhere. I naively assume that such a mouse would be easy to repair. Alas, that kit would cost me my kidney.

A somewhat on-topic question: Is there an easily fixable mouse that wouldn’t cost me a kidney?

Yeah, same. Rust projects generally seems to prefer MIT license for some reason. I guess they’ll go the FreeBSD way of occasionally getting some contributions from the big companies.

Secondly, I think I remember that it’s trying to replicate the linux, I haven’t seen any innovations to the typical stack. If I started a kernel from scratch I’d like to implement as many improvements and innovations that has come out since the 2000.

Although Redox is not the most innovative operating system under the sun, it does many things differently than Linux. The biggest difference is that it is a microkernel rather than a monolithic kernel. Yes, Redox is Unix-like, so it looks a lot like Linux in userspace, but in my opinion, this makes it more digestible for the average user and gives it a better chance of catching on.

Redox and SerenityOS are two operating systems that I keep an eye on and root for to catch on (at least a little).

You know you. But my experience from back in uni is that carrying a gaming handheld was pointless. if I have free time between classes I am going to do my homework or hang out with friends. And once classes are over? I am going home (or to hang out with friends again).

I agree. When I was in college, both in between classes and after them I either didn’t have the time, energy, or mood to play anything.

@Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone, if I were in your shoes, I’d stick with the laptop you currently have. Especially if it’s still in working condition and if it’s light. Get a new laptop only if the current one is heavy – you don’t want to carry around a 20-kilogram gaming laptop everywhere!

If you want to get a new machine and you’re set on getting either the Framework or the Steam Deck, I would choose the Framework. I think they are similar in terms of performance (all I know is that both of them can play Spider-man Remastered), but I can’t imagine doing anything productive on the Steam Deck (even with a mouse and keyboard connected). And hauling two devices around (laptop plus Steam Deck) gets annoying quick.

I tried emulation, but I really struggle with the different button graphics showing when emulating PS2 or Gamecube games. I don’t know which button X is supposed to be. :\

How are you going to get the electricity from space to the ground?

I think it’s gotten better. Turning on offline mode also solves this.

And paradox are going to release a whole bunch of pricey DLCs while abandoning the core game and ignoring critical bugs.

I wanted to push back on that. I know they do that with their strategy games, but to do it with story-driven games too? “That’s far-fetched,” I thought. But no, you were spot on: There’s day 1DLC, two clans are behind a pay wall.

1. I really need to play the first game.
2. Those are some crunchy textures on the chest in the first scene of the trailer.

Does Arma run well on Linux these days? I remember trying to run Arma 2 on my Linux box back in the day and failing.
