Are you sure about that ? I don't know that much about these kind of dynamics because I am not a soulless capitalist ghoul, but I remember reading that Kotick actually did that kind of stuff mostly by himself and was quite good at it (which did translate into more money being made, which probably kept investors happy and cemented his position)

Including cooling because casings actually absorb quite a lot of the heat generated by the propellant iirc (which is then easily removed from the weapon by ejecting the spent casing)

Oh look it's the thing everyone said would happen way back when Activision bought Blizzard

Joke's on you, I would slide it down all the way to zero as soon as I leave home

Well, if dodos had a Glock they would not have been hunted to extinction now, wouldn't they ?

just spend an hour of development time giving players the choice to disable it and literally everyone wins!

As a senior games programmer, depending on the engine and a ton of other very game-specific stuff, I'd guesstimate that anywhere between a 5 minutes, 1-man job and a several days long task potentially spanning multiple poles (mostly thinking of LD, 3D artists and tech artists. And obviously programming and UI)

simple and boring is perfect, as long as it tastes great.

As a Regina enjoyer I agree 100%

Can unfortunately confirm

It's not uncommon to see people expressing disdain for other distros. I feel like it's tongue in cheek 99% of the time though

Obviously this is because of Marxist professors or whatever it was Elon said and not at all because conservatives seemingly saw the handmaid's tale and decided that it was an instructions manual

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn't sports nor entertainment there... Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

Hi, I recently installed pop!_os on my shiny new gaming desktop and I'm loving it so far. But I'm now trying to get some games to work (mostly Helldivers 2 right now, which does work after a fresh install, but then freezes on a blackscreen with all subsequent launches. I'm assuming this is due to that awful kernel level anti cheat somehow)

Long story short, according to the fine folks over at protonDB, gamescope can help. But I can't find it on the pop shop or with apt-get. If anyone can point me to some trusted PPA I can use, or the dependencies I need to build it from source, that would be very appreciated (or even, just how to find out what dependencies I am missing. I lost my linux-fu after a long period of using Windows exclusively but I'm not a complete noob)

Additional infos : I used the Nvidia installer, 550 drivers (I have the RTX 3080 Ti), have the Nvidia drm modeset enabled, and I'm using the pop_os Steam package. ~~I also enabled "force full composition pipeline" in Nvidia settings~~ actually I just disabled it because it was causing issues with some other games that were running fine without it
