I’m finding it hard to stick to one game in particular these past few days (weeks?).
I’ve been going back to my play through of Divinity: Original Sin 2 and I find the story is getting somewhat less interesting after reaching the second to last act/location (and fights are less challenging now, which isn’t as fun imo).
I’ve also been playing a bit of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and it’s more appealing than I anticipated - I’m just annoyed by recurring shader comp and loading stutters on PC…
I’m kind of in the mood for a shorter game, but my backlog is far too dense to pick anything easily.

Congrats! That’s absolutely what I found most exhilarating with Expedition 33 gameplay-wise, being able to defeat much tougher enemies with a mix of persistence and parrying/dodging - that was really rewarding imo.

Excuse la vidéo en Anglais (pour rester dans le cadre des jeux), mais c’est possiblement lié à l’« effet de simple exposition », un peu comme ce que Skunk explique.

Great, I’ve sent you a message :)

Is it still actively maintained? It’s also not working on Wayland fwiw.

LACT works just fine with my RTX 3080.

Probably the best soundtrack I’ve heard in a video game, period. He talks about composing for the game here (and likely in many other outlets).

I picked up Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (again, but I lost my save file, so I’m starting over).
It was that or Genealogy of the Holy War, but I’m going with the “easier” of the two first.

Same dev then, Funcom

Au lieu de rendre la chose plus difficile pour les seniors avec leur idee de boîte postale communautaire, on pourrait regarder ce qui se fait à l’étranger et proposer des services aux seniors.

Interesting!
I could only find limited info about the SoC’s TjMax / operating temperatures, although we could assume it’s somewhat similar to the actual Tegra X1, in which case:

• This datasheet lists a TjMax of 105°C (page 2) and several thresholds before that (page 17) at which the APU would downclock (or shut down), with no actual value unfortunately.
• Gamers Nexus talks about the above, with a supposed throttling threshold at 70°C - and possibly 90°C - where frequency drops by 6%.
• Digital Foundry made a video testing Switch overclocking years ago (apologies for the ResetEra link, but there’s a good summary there), where they had operating temperatures in the 60s (though I’m not sure that’s the junction temperature).

That being said, my (V1) Switch is modded so I could test that a bit more, and check operating temperatures and frequencies before/after a repaste.

Ditto (but 2077 instead, haha). I’ve had no issues, except I wish it’d be possible to export the mod collection and reimport on a different device - eg going from desktop to Steam Deck and vice versa, which I’ve had to do manually.

You can refer to list of games with HDR support.
As far as HDR in native Linux games, recent changes won’t help, but you should be able to get that working with a couple env vars.

To be fair, Heroic already use their GitHub repo to track issues.
I agree with you that Discord shouldn’t even part of the equation to begin with, but it’s become so prevalent everywhere that I imagine it’s hard for devs to fully bypass.

Thanks for another great post and a very interesting interview! FWIW I cross-posted it to [email protected]

Thanks! VNs are definitely a genre I’m also trying to explore more of, Umineko: When They Cry is on my wishlist

Thanks, those sound great!
Yeah, I also wish there were more mystery/detective series out there, but haven’t found that many so far.

I’m pretty sure I read Fullmetal Alchemist 15 or so years ago, but I don’t remember the story well at all.
I’ve seen Avatar the Last Airbender mentioned countless times, but never took a look at it, I’ll check it out!

I actually have the game on my wishlist, I don’t know whether the anime and the game are one and the same?

Adding those to the list, thanks!
