Actually, I might just change it from >>>/vg/lgg to >>>/vg/linux now, because I'd rather see the /sg/ and /hgg2d/ threads that mention Linux on purpose than the /hlgg/ thread that just happens to use some letters.

Can't reproduce the issue. Closed.

So I've been installing games to a mounted drive that isn't the OS drive, which means they won't get wiped next time I do a fresh Linux install. When I mount that drive on my next Linux install, will I need to sudo chown/chgrp every file on the device for the permissions to work? Or will files that belong to user ID 1000 just belong to the next Linux install's user ID 1000 etc.?
I've got multiple users both on this Linux system and on the drive's files, so it won't just be a matter of `sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mnt/data` if I do have to fuck with it.

Searched "Linux" on /v/ and found >>>/v/745862414. Has anyone played it? Looks cool but I suck at RTS. Maybe I should just install Sim City.

I'm too lazy to check if there's a Firefox setting that I should have turned off. Doesn't matter now.

>>578412120
Why do you even use Firefox instead of any fork with telemetry disabled? Are you worrying about economic state of Mozilla and want to do your part?

>>578412251
It's the default browser on Linux Mint, and instead of doing something, I did nothing.
Actually I just verified in the settings that I did disable all the obvious "send data to Mozilla" options, but apparently it pings incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org:443 (or tries and fails since I'm blocking it) regardless.

I had been tracking all the games I've played in 2026, but I got lazy a few months ago. So I looked back and tried to fill in the missing ones. I don't know if the order is correct now, and I might have forgotten some. Oh well.
Now it's in ImageMagick montage form, because I don't want to edit the HTML file that I was using to add comments to each game in the grid. I can't think of something funny to say for each game anyway. Out of present boredom and anticipation of future laziness, I made a script that defines the image order (so I can append to this if I don't immediately lose interest again) and then attempts to find a number of columns resulting in a square-ish image (but will also deviate a bit if doing so results in a perfect rectangle). The math is not rigorous but it seems to be working well enough for the current number of games and I will just do a minimal-effort fix if that changes.
These aren't all games I've finished by the way, so don't ask me what I think of Fahrenheit's ending yet.

File: montage.jpg (1.57 MB, 1400x2100)

Added three more games I forgot.
I almost decided to get rid of the code that tries to find an optimal number of columns, because running the `montage` command with `-tile 0x0` results in almost the same behavior. Either way, I get a 7x7 when there are 49 images (pictured). But letting `montage` pick the dimensions for 50 images results in 7x8 with only 2 in the 8th row, whereas my code makes a nicer 10x5 (not pictured; I added a duplicate Duke Nukem cover to test it).

>>578420730
>>578422480
If you want to keep track of your games I suggest Yamtrack. It's a self-hosted service where you can track progress of your games (movies, tv shows), keep lists, rate them. It has integrated gamedb search so you won't have to fill metadata or pictures by hand.

>>578422480
>letting `montage` pick the dimensions for 50 images results in 7x8 with only 2 in the 8th row
Oops. Fuck. I meant it did 8x7 with 2 in the 7th row, i.e. 8x6+2.
>>578423704
Maybe I'll check it out. But if it has lots of shit to fill in then I might be tempted to sink too much time into it.

It might if you never had to touch docker/podman or setup an HTML server

I can't believe I forgot that I played Quake III Arena and Quake III Team Arena. Are they considered separate games? I'll say yes even though I don't have separate shortcuts for them. (I don't know how to launch directly to Team Arena using ioquake3. Adding "+set game missionpack" to the arguments doesn't seem to do it. Maybe they didn't bother to add support for this because Arena has an option to switch to Team Arena in the menu.)

For some reason I always tell the guys to hang back and let me do this first mission by myself, despite only having a pistol that can't hit anything. Spoiler alert, I fucking died, so maybe on my next attempt I'll go with them.
I picked Stalker difficulty, by the way, which I think is supposed to be second-easiest. Is it true that higher difficulty levels are actually easier or is that just a meme?

>>578450878
people telling you to play on Master are 100% fucking with you

>>578454314
I think the whole master is easier than hard came from the whole bullshit surrounding starter weapons and their abysmal accuracy having created myths about the damage system.
I would still recommend master but that's just because its the only one I know.

>>578454314
>>578461525
Good to know.
I started another attempt at the introductory quest, but just as I was trying to shoot some dude in the face with my insanely inaccurate pistol, my kid came in and asked if I was playing Portal. lol.
So I figured I should cease the extreme violence and let him play something kid-friendly instead.

btw I do know the game mostly works in widescreen, but I remember the scopes being ovals last time I played in a non-4:3 resolution, and I don't feel like installing any mods right now.

>>578463426
>I was trying to shoot some dude in the face with my insanely inaccurate pistol
A lot of weapons in STALKER are like but the starter pistol is on a league of its own. It gets better and thankfully it's just as inaccurate for you as it is for your enemies.
>Is it true that higher difficulty levels are actually easier
I think the higher the difficulty the higher the damage so (you) and your enemies die way quicker.
Since you are still at the beginning why not give it a shot?
Also, Shadow of Chernobyl is very very buggy so you might consider using the Zone Reclamation Project mod. It's just a bugfix and should keep it very very close to vanilla!

>>578465745
>It's just a bugfix and should keep it very very close to vanilla!

Okay, sounds legit.
I think it was the "Complete" mod that I used ages ago thinking it was primarily bug-fix changes because it was shilled to me as something everyone should install immediately without trying vanilla. But that's more of a graphical overhaul and I think I remember it adding some of the sequels' features to the original.

Fifth attempt. Head count came up short after all bandits were dead. Petruha was unalived again. I think the mini-map has a marker on this guy, but I don't know if he's actually important to proper question completion or if it was just trying to show me the location of my squad.

I quit after that and it was already late when I started so I should probably go to bed. It was such a short gaming session that I'm not even mad about making zero progress. Plus it's a game I already finished before, so it's nice and nostalgic but I should really try to finish Fahrenheit before hell freezes over.

What the fuck? There was evidence to hide as Lucas before the interrogation. If I had failed to do that, would I be able to avoid a game over by waiting out the clock instead of looking at the evidence that was left out?
Maybe it wouldn't result in an immediate game-over anyway. I did find a pen, with fingerprints the cop thinks, which I didn't have the option to hide as Lucas. So he probably gets his evidence regardless.

At least this part has some non-QTE gameplay in the form of a rudimentary evidence-matching puzzle. All the pieces of evidence are in the room, and you have to pick one to memorize and then pick another that links to the memorized one. One of the pieces of evidence is a scrap of paper torn from a larger sheet that I made Lucas hide before >>578526310, so finding it as the cop instead would probably have just given me one more thing to match in this puzzle. I obviously didn't need everything though. The scene ended after I matched two sets of things, and I'm pretty sure there were other usable things in the room that went unused.

I guess I'm fully into the part of the game where the plot goes fucking crazy, because Lucas beats up the cops with kung-fu and telekinesis, dodges bullets, runs through traffic, hangs onto a helicopter, and escapes on top of a train.
I didn't get any good screenshots, but if you're never going to play the game and you want to see it, it starts at about 2:00 in this video (not mine).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sok-snErZos
It's pretty funny because the action scene starts with Lucas saying what I'm pretty sure is the same dialogue used in some game-over moments. I actually thought I'd fucked up somehow.
Incidentally I did fuck up several times after that, and I only had one life left at the end. I guess the rest of the game is hard mode unless I get more lives. Maybe I can chapter-select and do it again?

This part was weird.
The Mayan expert sees through my lies. If I keep lying, he still reveals that he knows I'm the fugitive he saw in the papers, but hints that I should leave through the back door while he slowly walks over to inform the security guard. At this point I stayed in the room and lost on purpose just to see the getting-caught scene.
If I instead tell him the truth as I did on my second attempt, then he reacts with horror that I'm a murderer even though he already knew, but then, when he realizes some prophecy bullshit is true, agrees to talk to me and goes WITH me out the back door. And then dies, in the next action scene, I think? So I guess I'm responsible for his death now.

If I make webms of that game then I'll have to run it at 1920x1200 instead, because when I record 1920x1080, it gets all fucked up with a green bar at the bottom, because some genius wrote code that can't handle video capture of resolutions which aren't a multiple of *x16 despite 1920x1080 being the most common screen resolution. (That was fixed by now in rolling release distros, right? I'm using Mint, which is still based on Ubuntu 24.04 because the release cycle really is that slow, although it's not quite as slow as some people think it is, like I'm pretty sure /v/ literally believes the packages are 5 years old in the latest release.) I also use OBS because I just don't record enough to care, but I assume just using gpu-screen-recorder wouldn't fix that issue.
Anyway I don't really mind changing the resolution because running the game in 16:10 only slightly fucks up the intended FOV, and I can say the ability to record at 1200p despite the bug is a demonstration of 1200p supremacy even though it's just dumb luck.

If you'll use mesa from kisak-ppa issue will most likely go away. If not you'll also need some recent libva but idk how would you get it without fucking up rest of the shit that's dependent on it. Or you can use gpu-screen-recorder from flatpak.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. (Actually I didn't even know if Flatpak could work for a program like that.) Is the Flatpak package maintained by the original developer?

>>578648031
Fluorine. It's basically MO2 ported to Linux. But it's getting vibeslopped too much, so I'm considering trying amethyst on my next run.

>>578648179
>Is the Flatpak package maintained by the original developer?

>>578648180
Woah that was a quick answer!
> I'm considering trying amethyst
Ok, I might give it a go then! Thanks!

>>578648179
>Actually I didn't even know if Flatpak could work for a program like that.
Technically it doesn't. gpu screen recorder bypasses flatpak restrictions and runs code outside the sandbox

>>578649082
based...? lol

Also, just out of curiosity, could I have used ffmpeg to crop off that green bar? >>578648179
Or would ffmpeg on the same system just use the same fucked-up code that can't produce a non-multiple-of-16 height?

>>578649609
That issue comes from old mesa + old ffmpeg when using vaapi (gpu) hevc. You can crop with ffmpeg if you use the cpu encoder. But you can also do that directly in the script that you used to convert the .mp4 file to .webm.

But as the other guy mentioned, you probably dont have this issue if you use the flatpak version of gpu screen recorder (or even obs) because flatpak comes with newer mesa and ffmpeg.

>>578650330
But also note that if you record with av1 then the issue still exists, because thats a hardware issue on amd gpus that cant be fixed. It's only fixed in the rx 9000 series.

>>578649082
Isn't that only true for drm backend? x11 and portal backends should run inside the sandbox just fine

>>578650526
>It's only fixed in the rx 9000 series.

>>578650629
For capture yes, but not for other features (like the global shortcuts as one example)

>>578650739
Wayland compositors also reduce the number of wayland protocols available in flatpaks, so gpu screen recorder also connects to wayland outside the sandbox so it can.. list monitors with their rotations and get the title of the focused window lol

>>578650629
>x11
It uses drm backend on x11 on amd/intel as well, it's the only way to have performant monitor (not window) recording on amd/intel on x11. Nvidia has its own screen recording api on x11 (nvfbc) which normally only works on enterprise gpus, but some applications like nvidia shadowplay and steam has a secret key to make it work on all gpus. Gpu screen recorder uses that same secret key to make it work for everybody.

Fuck this.
By the way, question for when I inevitably end up using Wayland. It generally has no screen tearing out-of-the-box, right? Or did GAMERS™ demand screen tearing by default as an input delay placebo? Is it at least easy to disable tearing? I'm using
>Option "TearFree" "true"
in my Xorg config right now, which is nice because
1. some games implement vsync like shit and I get better frame timing by just capping frame rate (and still no tearing thanks to TearFree), and
2. I don't have to deal with the occasional game that doesn't respond to libstrangle/MangoHud vsync options for some fucking reason.

In the meantime, I don't mind still using X11 either, because all my xrandr/xdotool automation still works, and I'm not looking forward to rewriting or abandoning those scripts.

>>578656404
... meaning OpenGL in fullscreen always has tearing or never has tearing? And if that KDE option doesn't work, can MangoHud still force OpenGL vsync on/off?
I realize OpenGL is dead to 99% of Linux gamers but it still exists for me because I play native games.

Pretty sure he's some kind of zombie at this point too. In the previous scene where they were together, she commented that she couldn't see his breath outside and his hands were ice-cold.

I'm not going to read a spoiler to confirm whether I'm being stupid, but I'm guessing he literally died but is still animate through sheer willpower and/or magic.

Well I'm just curious if anyone else happened to have anything. Here's the three most recent one as an example. They don't crash applications or cause shutdowns. Mostly happens at idle/casual desktop use but I have had a couple while gaming.
I only started tracking them in May when I slammed something into my desk hard enough to trigger a kernel panic.
Found out then at the time that rasdaemon from the AUR was bugged and wasn't logging anything.
But since I've replaced the CPU and motherboard and I'm still getting them, I'm at a loss. Memory isn't running any extreme settings and passes memtest86+ and OCCT. Already tried typical current idle and still got them.

>>578732191

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/ryzen-5950x-uncorrected-software-containable-error-events-after-upgrade-to-kernel-7-0-x.184025/
I was seeing corrected errors on the CPU I had replaced before they changed to the supposed fatal errors...
Hopefully that thread actually goes somewhere, because I don't know where to begin trying to report it.

>>578735625
Oh yeah and there was one piece of software I ran into which triggered legitimate System Fatal errors that populated those three addresses with values other than straight zeroes. So I guess it's probably safe if I just ignore those.
Would be cool if someone kept an eye out for any on their machine though. :^)

Use the brute force method and backup all your important data and reinstall your OS from scratch. Somewhere down the line the change of hardware fucked something up, you did say you changed CPU and motherboard, it might've thrown the kernel out of whack especially if you're using some fine-tuned kernel version. Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

>>578916440

They can't get enough hardware for it, thanks to all the RAM and SSDs being hoarded for data centers built on the promise of AI eventually printing infinite free money despite the public already having AI slop fatigue.
The fact that I signed up for the wait list and never got an email means they're still selling all the units they can actually build. There was plenty of negative reception of the price but they're still sold out at that price. So yes, it flopped in the same sense that Steam Deck was actively flopping while being sold out for the entire first year.

why when I uninstall a game on steam it doesn't delete the folder

>>578936553
>doesn't delete the folder
Did it at least delete most of the files?
If you mean the folder where the game itself was stored, I believe Steam will delete only the files it actually installed, and then it will remove the top-level folder only if it's empty. This means games that dump configuration/save files in their install location will leave those files behind when they are uninstalled. Meanwhile, installing mods to a game's folder will also keep the folder from behind removed. I hope they never change this behavior because it means Steam is being nice and not just recursively deleting shit. Not that I store important documents in Steam games' folders or anything, but Steam presumably deleting on the files it actually "owns" is the a good thing in general.
If you mean prefixes and shader caches, I usually see those get removed on uninstall, but there may be some reason it doesn't always work.

>>578937295
>presumably deleting only the files it actually "owns"

All in all, very good game, now I have to wait until next year for Muramasa to get that gameplay loop itch.

Doesnt it auto import steam games? at least it has a an option for "steam" when adding a new game.

idk maybe, I see no reason polluting this launcher with steam games

Just play Morrowind, that doesn't happen and it needs no mods.

I was going to make a joke about uncs, but skyrim is also an unc game, so it woulnd't have been funny

I think CDPR goes out of its way to make that a option to turn off, so..

Maybe he shipped a debug build? You can expect anything from a vibegod.

I do have it in my backlog though. Planning on start it late fall.

>>578962965
Do people who say backlog mean a written-down list of games to be played in the future?

That's right

>written down
I have nothing to write, my library is over 2k games between steam and gog, I just choose what to play depending on my mood

>>578965357
Yeah, it's pretty good if you have a hard time picking what to play.

>>578965357
I'm not him but my backlog is just all the games I've started and haven't finished, or bought and haven't played. And I try not to think about it beyond whatever single game I'm playing in the moment.
I don't want the existential dread I would feel by actually enumerating all the games I want to play, estimating the total play time, and seeing that it's longer than all the weekends I have left on Earth.
