What a fuck up. What's wrong with a standard default timeline of stories... I shouldn't be pushed lifestyle and opinion pieces in my news feed. Not everything needs an account, especially not the public broadcaster.

Was hoping their two songs last year would mean a comeback, but doesnt look like it unfortunately.

Capitalism strikes again. This is why we can't have nice things, capitalists keep fucking them up.

There's a pre-release for this product? That seems strange

Could be good if they move beyond young-adult/teen themes

Arena is even worse value in my opinion. At least with in-person drafts you get some money back in the cards you get (sell anything of value). I can't justify paying the high cost they charge for *digital *drafts.

It's a real shame too, I love drafting, but there's no way I'm going to pay AU$20 for a single digital draft. I can't believe anyone else does tbh.

I was ambivalent to the play boosters change because it was just the culmination of what we had seen coming for years... increasing the cost of the game for us players.

'Project booster fun' was always about asking the question "how fast and far can we push the price-point up for boosters?" They threw a bunch of options out, tested the water, and ultimately decided enough players would pay the higher price-point for the same cost to print. Pure, unfettered greed.

Magic was already expensive enough as it is. I won't be forking out for in-person drafts at the new price. Bootleg cards serve my playgroups needs at a fraction of the costs. Greedy WotC execs don't respect players? We shouldn't respect them.

Took a lot of patience, team work, and negotiation. Biggest thanks goes to you eatham for driving the whole thing!

Canvas has just doubled. We trying to get stars and border down.

 

G'day all,

We got a pretty quiet community going here, but hey, that's our CBR style sometimes. I am keen on collecting thoughts on keeping the Daily Discussion Threads going? They don't seem to be very active and can make the community look quite bare, cluttering up the feed.

Keen for your thoughts

 

Have had this issue since the 1.11.4 update, wondering if just me? Icon shows 1 update available, despite being on latest version. Click install, icon still showing update available. On webapp 1.11.14.

 

Getting around 130fps avg frames, sometime dipping down into the 80's, when playing CS2. Did a recent system upgrade and presumed performance would be better than this for the build?

Gear:

  • Ryzen 7 5700x 3.4ghz
  • 6750XT 12gb ddr6
  • 16gb 3600mhz ddr4
  • m.2 SSD
  • 144hz , 1440 screen with freesync
  • Running Mint latest version

Have tried in-game settings at lowest, still not managing to get a stable FPS above 144. Mucking with settings doesn't seem to change performance much. Have set game to run with '-vulkan' which helped reduce some stuttering issues, but not much performance gain.

I also only get <100fps with other games like BG3. Figured this kit would be able to handle modern games a bit better. Any ideas what's going on?

EDIT: For future reference, the following changes were made and am now getting ~200fps

  • Enabled asus EZ Tune in BIOS (rather than manually muck with each setting)
  • Updated gpu drivers via 'amdgpu -install'
  • Enable gamemode
 

I’m running BG3 through Proton (linux OS) so troubleshooting whether glitches are game engine issues or proton issues is tough.

Apart from some graphical artefact pop-ins which I just ignore, one common glitch im getting is the game not recognising to scroll the camera when you mouse to the edge of the screen. This happens when in windowed or fullscreen mode.

A work around seems to be using the arrow keys first, after which the game correctly recognises mouse scrolling at screen edge. You have to do this every time between interactions though, which can get annoying.

Trying to see if this is a proton issue or known game bug. Anyone else experiencing this?

 

Nice to see a new dudeist community pop up in addition to dudeism@lemmy.world . Take 'er easy!

 

Are there any good quality, open-source or community-driven alternatives to goodreads? Something which offers the same discoverability service for similar or related books, including the ability to wishlist and review?

(Linux Mint) Switched to an AMD graphics card recently and ran “sudo apt remove --purge” on all ^nvidia* and ^libnvidia* packages. Unfortunately, one package (libnvidia-compute-470) seems to not get the message and won’t remove itself. Quick search around the internet on solutions have not resolved the issue yet. Wondering if anyone had any ideas how to manually remove this package? Cheers!

 

Noticed they are quite a large server with similar rules to ours (Be respectful, no bigotry, no porn, etc). Looking at their front page, it seems pretty tame, just anti-capitalist memes and discussion. Is there a reason we have blocked them?
