I have Radeon 6900 rx and it games sweet on Linux. I've played games on Windows with it too without issue (dual boot).

Generally, AMD is king on Linux, Nvidia is suffering (had drivers updates break OS installs). Nvidia is only really if you want ray tracing or Cuda, and I've never needed to.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed is my distro of choice. Up to date kernel. Rolling distro. Stable.

You're in the UK? Lol

Someone got on with Skate? I loved THPS but when I tried Skate it was dull and boring. Probably managed 10 mins then never played again.

I tend to use less powerful bows or weaker pals to weaken, call back your pal when most work has been done and use better balls for stronger pals.

Looks good.

I really like OpenSuse, but the setup and configuration wasn't easy or straightforward. Manjaro had a superior way to setup partition for example. If they make this process smooth, it would really help folk experience a great OS that just works and is up to date.

The community centre can be a really interesting place.

Going to the mines can also be quite rewarding.

Beware. The Stalker is somewhat more dangerous and camoflages!

Have fun :)

 

Good fun. Worth checking out!

I use Linux, so not Nvidia. AMD is great. Good power for the money.

But then they couldn't trick consumers into voting for them. There isn't enough rich people to win so they have to trick people into thinking they are working in their interests.

No. It is a conservative government funded by businesses. They represent them. This was a political way of saying "no" while trying to look like they give a shit.

I'll be honest, and sorry in advance, but it'll help you more. Your cynicism is probably the thing getting in the way. I understand it's rough and not fun, but you've got to avoid it grinding you down.

You need to give yourself reasons to stand out. Making a half baked unfinished engine that no one uses isn't as impresive as improving an existing one that people use. Greenfield projects are rare and you probably not going to get that as a first role. So you need to prove to employers you can take legacy code, learn it, understand it, improve it and get it live. Demonstrating you have the capability to do that on a FOSS project demonstrates you may be able to do that on an in-house engine. You also learn from the code others write. Why did they do it this way? Is it better? What are the pros and cons? Degrees differentiate, yes, but a green person out of uni vs someone who has proven they can do a similar job, you have an advantage. Plus, 5 PRS is probably easier than a new engine. Making one from scratch cannot hurt, but it doesn't prove everything they need to know. Businesses hire because they have a problem and need someone competent to solve that problem. Tick those boxes and remove the risk and you have reasonable chances.

If you only demonstrate you're not comfortable going out of your comfort zone and getting your hands dirty, you are not helping yourself.

So give them reasons to hire you, give yourself a chance, and keep applying. Give yourself a 2% chance, apply to 50 jobs, give yourself a 10% chance, apply for 10, but always go over the odds.

Remember, industry is rough right now. A lot of experienced proven folk got let go in last year. Might need to improve your odds and bide your time.

A great game, and a massive patch list. Could be good fun for a returning player, or new players.

For those that haven't tried this game, it's very addictive and very fun. I've got 150+ hours on it, and I'm not done yet. Good fun as multiplayer too!

RimWorld (www.gog.com)
 

The game probably needs no introduction, but hey, a story generator sim colony type game.

Bizarre and lots of fun. Whether it's getting attacked by pirates, or angry rats, fighting infections or drug addictions to save your colonists. I feel a little part of me dies every time I lose a colonist. Intense.

I'm 83 hours in, and barely getting started. It's wonderful.

Have you played RimWorld? How long for? Any interesting stories? (the steam reviews are a gold mine for this)

Absolute bargain price if you ask me. Played over 250 hours of Valheim. A great immersive game, and at this price, a bit too good to say no to if you haven't tried it. A survival must play.

Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this game, and the music always makes me smile. The main tune is one of the best game songs I know :).

To oversimplify, it's Theme Hospital for adults. Complex, serious, and some times stressful when you have a collapsed patient. I end up favouriting my collapsed patients as I really need to know they get better and make it out ok.

I have 70+ hours play time from this. Really well made game. Needs more love.

Have you played it? What did you think?

 

Sharing this because it's a game I've played and enjoyed. Multiplayer isn't there and local co-op is buggy, but pretty fun for single player.

Stardewesque, but all about managing your own tavern.

Obviously it's a very hyped up game, and I was apprehensive posting this as they have sufficient marketing behind them already. It's meme'd as "Pokemon with Guns", but at its core is a very heavy survival play style.

Have you tried it? How many hours in are you?

If you have, what do you think? How does it stack up against other survival games for you?

My view is in the comments...

Edit: First 2 votes are downvotes and into minus immediately? I get you may not like the hype. Say it, but this is to also stimulate debate and build this community. We're off the lemm.ee first page and any downvote is just going to contribute to keeping this community buried when it needs a little oxygen. Do we really want another dead small community? It's also an opportunity to bring folk into survival games...

Hi. I'd like to revive and take over this community.

Could you also please remove the original admin? It's a 4 year old account and I cannot see any post or comment at all, so a dead account. Thanks.

I mean, we've all seen some hype around recently about games in the genre, and I wanted to share this because it's awesome. Been playing it recently, and it definitely scratches that Pokemon itch, while being unique in its own right. Made with a lot of love, and also on Godot. What's not to like?!

Have you played it? What do you think?
