The worst kind of an Internet-herpaderp. Internet-urpo pahimmasta päästä.
and you’re absolutely sure the files are av1? if you try to open the video files with ffmpeg, eg: ffmpeg -i videofile.mkv, what does it say the codec is?
at least my av1 videos say: Stream #0:0[0x1](und): Video: av1 (libdav1d) (Main) (av01 / 0x31307661), yuv420p(tv, progressive), 854x854, 464 kb/s, SAR 1:1 DAR 1:1, 30 fps, 30 tbr, 16k tbn (default)
seems like the codecs=‘something’ is REALLY nitpicky. managed to get a test video to play with:
<video>
<source src="test.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4d401f"'>
</video>
I made the video by encoding some random clip with ffmpeg -i random_video.mp4 -c:v libaom-av1 -crf 30 test.mp4 (seems to work just as well with libsvtav1)
As for how are you supposed to know the “4d401f”? beats me, found it here: https://caraya.github.io/av1-video-demo/
edit: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Media/Formats/codecs_parameter#av1 does say that the codec string should look a bit different, but… I dunno, not a video-understanding-webmonke.
edit2: and now I realize that since it works with the codecs=avc1 - it’s the older av1 variant? Not really what you were asking. Whoopsiedaisy.
Point & click adventures of olden times. Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Islands 1 & 2 got remasters, hell, Monkey island got even a NEW game.
I’d insta-buy on Indiana Jones & Fate of Atlantis -remaster.
…But, tbh, still rather have a new game in same style.
I played the freebie version ages ago, any thoughts on if the Plus -version’s content worth revisiting it? The shock value of the game is kinda one-and-done I feel.
Just finished Gunpoint - it’s a fairly nifty puzzler about a somewhat goofy private eye with cybernetic frog pants and ability to rewire building electronics with his mind. The soundtrack is odd mix of noir-jazzy electronica, and it slaps.
And right after I felt nostalgic, so I started scummvm and booted up Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist. Did not remember laborious the start of the game is with what is essentially copy protection - mixing medicines to order. Beyond the copy protection shenanigans, the game is a Sierra-game through and through: vga visuals are neat, voice acting is goofy but well made, instant deaths… Though the game isn’t as malicious as some early Sierra games.
A Short Hike. Essentially a short, cute animal-characters “collectathon” walking-sim/3d-platformer with some low-stakes “arcade” bits here and there. The low-res pixel-effect can be turned off.
AER: Memories of old. Quite a bit in same vein as Rime/Sable, travel between floating islands and participate in low-stakes puzzles/platforming. Pretty charming, imo… and short. Can be finished under 2 hours.
yep. Tested GOG version of Cyberpunk and RT, DLSS, and all that work. Other than that, games with RT or DLSS I’ve tested and deemed working: Observer (RT&DLSS), Enshrouded (DLSS), Warframe (DLSS).
I have a 3090.
nvidia user here, made a “soft switch” to linux some time ago, and got to say the current 555 series drivers made a world of a difference. Most games just work.
Haven’t made a full switch due doubts with music and video production stuff. But, slowly testing my way in and dualbooting between OS’s in the meantime
oh, I’ve been wondering about this, as I’ve had occasional youtube-video just enter the infinite buffering. Oddly it has only happened on linux o_O
it’s like that friends -meme: “repeat after me: discord is not the place for documentation/wiki/distribution”, and joey goes “discord is the place for documentation/wiki/distribution”.
I guess just because how the question was laid out, I’m disqualified as I was taught how to use it the first time I used it. :P
with my first linux -system, I had an experienced friend to hold my hand while installing, configuring and usage - including vim. So, the first thing he taught me was how to exit it. This was sometime in … 2003-ish?
if you use the archinstall to setup everything (partitioning, locales, de’s, etc), not that much, but def. more than some “everything and the kitchensink straight out of the box” distros. The installer worked nicely on 2 machines I’ve tested it on, a laptop and a desktop. While the base system and graphical desktop installed nice, there was quite a bit of manual tinkering left.
But, steam works more or less the same on linux as it works on windows - but there is some proton version selecting, and even then absolutely everything doesn’t work.
Personally, nvidia+wayland (and xwayland in general) is pretty horrid with some games, but supposedly that’s supposedly getting fixed next month… It’s always something and the fix is so tantalizingly close.
and, it’s not like the EOL for win10 is that close, seems to be October 14, 2025, so there’s still plenty of time.
“Where’s John Connor” - could work :D
sample size of 1, admittedly, but there’s so few times I’ve managed to break arch - which I can’t 100% attribute to myself.
Once the updates broke, somehow wiping bash -binary and kernel. Not entirely sure how or why, all I did was a normal pacman -Suy. I might have issued the pacman -command from a long path which didn’t exist anymore, not sure if relevant or not. Hasn’t happened since, so… dunno. It did spook me a bit, but nobody else at the time reported similar issues.
I’ve ran arch for years at work (webdevelopment, desktop and laptop), home server (irc shell, mumble, etc hosting) and now home desktop too (gaming, media, dualbooting with win10).
The home server has required a powerbutton -forced boot once or twice, many months of uptime & regular kernel updates can apparently mess something with networking and usb, so can’t ssh in and keyboard doesn’t get regognized when plugged in. So, you know, reboot after kernel updates? :D
It’s always a good idea to check the website for breaking changes which require manually doing something, there has been a few along the years.
only if the dev/publisher/whoever-responsible offers the different versions as available branches in the game’s properties. Some do, most don’t.
so, roughly something like Deathspank?
I was about to argue that this isn’t “pay-to-win”, as just having the ship doesn’t automatically make you better in-game, but…

If the pre-built ship is destroyed you will be able to redeploy it at no cost, but any additional modules you have added will require in-game credits to retrieve during re-buy.
does this mean that the arx-bought pre-built ship has essentially 0 Cr rebuy? Sounds kinda low-bar entry for no-risk pvp or griefing, if so.
Hell yea, Indy Atlantis is absolute peak… then again so is most of lucasarts point&click adventure games.
Man I wish the teased sequel for atlantis was actually made :/
while true, but you can’t buy UT or Unreal from gog anymore, the games were delisted ages ago.
You can still download them from your collection if you own them, but new purchases are not possible.
