Did you have to use GE-proton to get it to run? I think that used to be a requirement, but I’m curious if it runs without it now.

Is it the Phantom Liberty part specifically that isn’t deck friendly? I replayed some of base cyberpunk on my OLED recently, and was really impressed by how well it runs now. I seem to remember performance being a lot worse when I tried it back on my original LCD deck.
Had a great time with YS 8, been meaning to pick up 9 or 10 whenever they have a decent sale.
I’ve been playing a whole lot of Metaphor ReFantizio, and highly recommend it.
I enjoy the persona games, but I actually do like a fantasy setting more than the modern day setting of persona. I also find some of Persona’s mechanics make the game more tedious than it should be (You have to equip a matching persona before spending your time with someone socially, and you have to get the right conversation responses or spend multiple time slots building social points), and Metaphor gets rid of those points of frustration. The road trip aspect is really fun too, overall I’m having a great time with it.
You can probably just use any of the big chat programs, and just start out by telling it you want it to converse with you like it’s just another person.
Gemini has that “live” feature where you can talk out loud and it sounds like you’re talking to a real person. Combining that with pre-prompting for casual conversation is fairly convincing.
Depending on game, you can generally run at 720p or 1080p fine. You can do linear upscale (from the Deck’s QAM menu>power settings) to upscale to 4k for no real performance hit, but it won’t improve the graphical appearance either. Upscaling to 4k using FSR/etc is possible in some games, but usually has too much of a performance hit to be practical.
Metaphor Refantazio is great outside of a few spots with fps dips, but the recent SteamOS update has helped with those a lot. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys JRPGs.
There are smaller improvements each year, and from looking at it, it seems like EV automobiles and other markets are helping drive increasingly significant gains actually. I’m not sure on how much of the emergency density gains actually apply to small batteries though, or if it’s more about improvements in larger batteries. Either way it’s less stagnant than I thought.
You, and everybody else. I think everyone has been waiting on a new battery technology breakthrough for the past 10+ years.
It’s probably not possible for supply reasons. OLED displays are expensive to produce in small numbers, so this is probably using screen components originally made for another device. Not many devices use a 720 or 800p screen at this size, so sourcing one probably isn’t possible.
So I tried looking into it, but all I can find is this same user (go $fsck yourself) had some comments deleted by him about 6 months ago. I didn’t actually comb through the modlog to see what the deleted comments contained, I’m not sure how feasible it is to review the modlog going that far back.
I couldn’t find any actual proof of wrongdoing, the closest thing to evidence is that screenshot of Liam saying he thought it was stupid that modlogs were public. I also didn’t find anyone else complaining about him as a mod, literally just this same guy copy pasting this comment on a ton of different gamingonlinux lemmy posts for the past 6 months.
Liam complaining about public modlog does sound like he got caught abusing mod privledges, but I’m leaning towards it just being between him and this go $fsck yourself user rather than widespread abuse.
This is over not being able to install kernel anticheat on linux. However that same Apex anticheat was used to hack players devices during a tournament earlier this year.
The recent SteamOS update fixed a lot of my dock issues, seems like everything is working pretty well for me right now. I don’t have the official dock though, just a cheap 3rd party one.
That’s unfortunate to hear, gamingonlinux has been a really good source for news, so I hate to hear he’s not been handling mod stuff respectably.
I should probably mention some notable downsides to kernel anti-cheat as well:
Because kernel anti-cheat has full access to your PC, if any virus/etc can take advantage of a security vulnerability in the anti-cheat program, it gains absolute access to your PC.
Kernel anti-cheat needs special signing keys to get access to the kernel, but the more companies that get access to the keys the more likely it is to have compromised keys. Genshin impacts keys were compromised and used to sign ransomware, giving it full kernel access on any computers it was able to get on.
Devs have used kernel anti-cheat to secretly install Bitcoin miners on users machines
Kernel anti-cheat can be compromised and used to directly gain control of a users PC. Some apex legends streamers had their PCs compromised and cheats installed remotely through their anti-cheat during a tournament.
A lot of anti-cheat programs are created by Chinese companies or companies that are mostly owned by Chinese companies. China is well known for spying on users, and there’s a ban on a lot of Chinese hardware due to spying concerns and backdoors that the Chinese government requires to be in their devices. I think the invasive nature of kernel anti-cheat makes it an obvious spying platform, and I think it’s absurd to think that any anti-cheat coming from China isn’t actively spying on you.
Running in the kernel let’s anti-cheat see everything on your computer, let’s devs take screenshots or videos of your screen, and let’s the anti-cheat reinstall itself if the user tries to remove it. It also lets the developers secretly install additional software if needed for some reason. Overall it’s pretty effective at being able to catch user space cheat programs, the catch is that you’re permanently compromising the security and privacy of your computer, and nothing short of a full disk purge will guarantee it’s actually been uninstalled.
The other catch is it’s can still be defeated by kernel-level cheat programs, which are now widely available thanks to the rise of kernel anti-cheat. It also can’t do anything about cheat programs that run on external hardware, such as aimbots that just look at your video feed and simulate mouse inputs to aim.
So it really comes down to how bothered you are by cheaters in your games, and if you’re willing to give up your privacy and security to make it slightly more inconvenient for those cheaters to cheat.
Playing with it on my own computer, locally hosting it and running it offline, has been pretty cool. I find it really impressive when it’s something open source and community driven. I also think there are a lot of useful applications for things that are traditionally not solvable with traditional programming.
However a lot of the pushed corporate AI feels not that useful, and there’s something about it that really rubs me the wrong way.
What windows components are you trying to install using protontricks/winetricks? Also is this the steam version, or from a different store?
Edit: I’ll go ahead and post some things to try:
vcrun2022
. There are different versions of vcrun depending on the year, so if that one doesn’t work maybe an older one might.I suspect we may see a lot of countries get pushy about trying to encourage people to have kids. There were lots of short term economic benefits to pushing families into having both partners working, but in the long term countries are still built around needing a growing population to do well.
You can offset lower birthrates with immigration to an extent, but itherwise we would need pretty major social changes to sustain society if birth rates continue to decline.
Having a usable product while your opponents continually shoot themselves in the foot is a viable market strategy.
