It's always been the case, but now there's a law that forces them to make it clear that you're getting a license.

Steam does the same thing, and I assume most places that sell in California do as well.

Darksynth is essentially a subgenre of synthwave, it's generally faster, more bass-heavy, sometimes a little more metal-adjacent.

You can look into Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Glitch Black, Shredder 1984

Is it black? Or is it a slightly darker black?

when you have a job you don’t get stressed feeling like a useless piece of shit.

I don't feel that way, I only worry about not being able to afford rent. If I have a job (or enough money,) that stress goes away.

I strongly suspect that some money changed hands for Valve to present this angle to consumers

Maybe? It's certainly a reasonable expectation. I mean I agree it's probably not something that people actively seek out in general, but they have all kinds of sales based on themes that people don't necessarily think to look for either. As a gamer from Quebec, I don't actively search for games made in Quebec, but it's nice to be able to look at a collection like this and know that they're all made locally without having to make an active search for that. It's a factor that's generally not advertised very explicitly.

Basically, yeah.

As the "official state cryptid," and not as a real, documented species.

Yeah, I know British guy who recently became a citizen, and he said it was pretty weird.

Trudeau has approved a high-speed rail project connecting Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. Now we just need to wait for the next administration to cancel it.

These sales are pretty regular. I see them at least yearly, it's not a political context-dependent sale on Steam's part.

Quebec also has a pretty big gaming presence, with Ubisoft, Behaviour, Eidos, EA, WB, Bethesda, and many others big players having studios in Montreal.

Damn, that's so good

You bet your ass I would

 

I haven't seen one of these in a few days, so I thought I'd toss in one of my own.

It's meant for via ferrata to reduce the impact of falling on static gear. You loop a short rope through the holes and it absorbs the forces of the fall by friction of the rope slipping through. This is the Kong Kisa.

 

So I had to cancel some travel plans some time ago, and I have a travel voucher with Air Canada. What would be the best way to search for deals to use my voucher on?

Air Canada's site has very few options to help find the best value, and other sites I've tried don't let you limit to a specific airline AND allow the flexibility options I want at the same time.

 

Recently my micro SD card failed and I had to to a full reinstall of klipper.

When I first set it up, I found a guide with pictures and all the software setup specifically for the ADXL345 and Pi Zero 2, but I can't find the guide anymore.

Everything's already wired, but I definitely don't remember how to set everything up.

 

Currently running Nobara, and having audio annoyances.

Any time any app loads anything new, it will switch my audio device back to default. For example, if I open a playlist in VLC and choose my speakers as the output device, when it's done playing one file, it will open the next one and start playing audio through the headphones.

If I'm watching a video on Youtube and choose speakers, as soon as I leave the page it goes back to headphones.

Is there a way to prevent the device in use from switching back? If I switch device, I just want it to stay on that device until I choose to switch back. I literally never want it to switch on its own. ATM, the only way is to manually go it and change the default every time instead of just clicking the checkbox in the volume popup.

 

This is a recent issue, and I don't know what has changed to cause it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which games work and which ones don't. My monitor's resolution is set to 2560 x 1440 in the display settings, but some games don't recognize it.

Of the games I have installed, Subnautica, Dark Souls III, Sekiro, Control, Hades, and Hi-Fi Rush think my native resolution is 1896 x 1067 and they won't let me change it to anything higher than that.

Elden Ring, Ark Survival Ascended, and Returnal detect my resolution correctly and work fine.

This is all from Steam without any custom launch settings, and with and without gamescope. I've tried custom resolution command line options for Subnautica and that hasn't helped either.

I'm running an RX 6700 XT on Nobara with everything currently up to date. I'm not sure when this issue started, but it's recent, probably within the last week or so. I've definitely run Control and Sekiro at the correct resolution before, but in my recent testing they no longer work right.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Why some games work fine and others don't?

 

I haven't bought from Amazon in several years, but I made an exception for this deal. I've never seen this go below $80 before.

 

Are there any software issues I may/should deal with when doing a full system upgrade? I'm going from AM4 to AM5, so new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

It should be pretty straightforward under Linux, right? Just swap my drives over and boot up? I've only ever done single upgrades at a time, never a full generation.

 

So it's a SFF case meant for NAS use. It has 5 slide-in 3.5" drive bays and can only handle a low-profile PCIE card.

I'm thinking of picking one up and mangling it to force in a 2-slot GPU. I want to basically remove the drive bays and the PCB with the SATA slots, ditch the PSU frame, move the motherboard frame back or flip it around, and 3d print a new backplate for the case.

I'd stick the PSU where the drive bay used to be and run an extension to the back of the case, and then there should be room for a full-sized GPU mounted vertically in the case.

Do you think this would be achievable? Am I crazy for even thinking about it?

Now if only I could also fit an AIO in there.

I've had the game running fine for months, but experience constant crashes if I have foliage and fluid interaction enabled. Has anyone been able to run the game with this on?

Currently on Pop!OS running a 6700XT, and having the issue under both X and Wayland.

 

Is anybody else dealing with this? In game mode updates install normally, but if I go into desktop mode, updates stall and never finish downloading. And unfortunately you don't get to install desktop updates from game mode.

My internet connection works fine on firefox, and is plenty fast, so it's not a connectivity issue. I'm not sure what's going on.

 

A friend of mine was a gamer many years ago but hasn't been gaming in a while. They run a Mac and I run a PC. What are some good patient games we can play together?
