I got the bad ending. i didn't know about the moral point system until i was in the last parts of the game.i really enjoyed it! and my some thoughts i wanna share about the ending:

>!i watched the good ending on youtube, and in my opinion the bad ending is the more realistic one. because after everything that happened in artyom's life, i think he has to die somehow. and the bad ending ends his story pretty well IMO.!<

hi

running a game (far cry 3) normally with gamescope using steam with these launch options:

gamemoderun gamescope -r 60 --immediate-flips -f -W 1920 -H 1080 --force-grab-cursor -- mangohud %command%

and in my hyprland config, i have tearing enabled and this window rule:

hl.window_rule({
  match = { class = "gamescope" }, immediate = true
})

i don't have a display that supports vrr, so i have it off.

I have a shortcut that executes hyprctl monitors and writes the output to a file. when using gamescope:

it doesn't want to tear. but running the game without gamescope enables tearing

another thing is that when using direct_scanout = 1 in a game running through gamescope it just freezes even though the game sounds are still working

the game is running at an fps higher than the monitor refresh rate

[edit]: more info:

running on an amd igpu. and changing the proton version doesn't fix the issue

Specs:

ryzen 7 pro 5850u 8c/16t

24gb ram dual channel 3200mhz

vega 8

Is there any good older AAA games? or even indie games that are good and fun to play. i am okay with a 720p native 30 fps experience.

i already played: ori (1 and 2), and far cry 3, battlefield 1, and older call of duty titles

Hi! 10 days ago i bought the thinkpad p14s gen 2 laptop with these specs:

old specs:
i3-7020u 2c/4t
12gb ram 2133mhz (dual channel)

new specs:
ryzen 7 pro 5850u 8c/16t up to 4.4ghz
24gb ram 3200mhz (dual channel)
vega 8 up to 2ghz

just a very quick review for this laptop:

IMPORTANT: i mostly used the laptop with linux. haven't tested windows performance

In terms of build quality, it feels nice it doesn't have the same cheap plastic like other laptops. the keyboard is the best keyboard i used on a laptop! I got used to it quickly. and i installed fedora linux on it. It worked great but had to change same things to make the touchpad feel good.

and performance wise I did some very light weight programming on it and it handled it well. even with a lot of tabs opened and a lot of programs in the background (steam, telegram, firefox, etc..) it never felt slow even on the balanced-battery profile (using tuned).

some benchmarks:

geekbench 6 scores (old laptop vs new):

NOTE: i don't remember the power profile i was using when i did the benchmark, but you can probably get better results than mine.

old laptop: 821 single core / 1714 multi-core

new laptop: 1718 single core (208% upgrade) / 6018 multi-core (350% upgrade)

some games i tested (all of the games running on linux):

ori and will of the wisps: 1080p balanced settings: 60-70 fps avg
high settings in this game gives 30~ on 1080p, if you want a stable 60 with high settings, use dynamic resolution

far cry 3: 900p medium settings with ultra textures: 60 fps and goes to the 50s sometimes. (28W using ryzenadj)

battlefield 1: 900p medium settings ultra textures with TAA and directx 12 off: 40 to 50 fps average, goes to 35 in very intensive scenes. you can lower the settings to low or 720p and get more than 50fps average (28W)

red redemption 2: vulkan api, 720p native low with ultra textures, 30-40 fps with no drops (33W)

and for temps, it didn't go above 85 while at 33 watts tdp. just make sure the laptop is raised from the table.

the TLDR: it is a good device especially for the price (340$ USD) used.

but what are other games that i can run on it? storage is not a problem for me.

[edit]: forget to say somethings:

and i had a problem when adjusting the tdp on this laptop, it was resetting every 10 to 30 minutes, but in the last few days it magically didn't happen.

Hello!

After using my laptop for 6 years, it think i should upgrade these are my current specs:

i3-7020u - dual core clocked at 2.3GHZ (base, this cpu doesn't support boosting)

intel hd 620 igpu

12GB ddr4 2133mhz ram

OS: fedora linux

I am thinking of buying a used laptop, with one of these apus (they are very similar in specs just different names):
ryzen 5 5600u
ryzen 5 5625u
ryzen 5 pro 5650u
ryzen 5 pro 5675u

laptops with these apus in my country usually cost around 250$ US dollars.

I know that any of these processors will give me a huge cpu difference. but is it worth the upgrade or should i save more money to buy something with a better igpu something with a radeon m660 or m680?

games i want to play:

the farcry series 3, 4, 5, 6
resident evil 2,3,4 remake
forza 5,6
rdr2
doom eternal
and other 2D titles

every time i login, i get signed out because of ownership checking

i downloaded it from gamebounty and i am using fedora linux 44 and i ran it as a non-steam game using proton-9.04
i tried the steamrip version, same problem.

Hi

All the overview plugins i found were not maintained or didn't update the config for lua

[edit]
here is the plugins that i found:
hyprexpo: (not maintained)
hyprmission: gives me black screen flicking (there is a github issue on that)
hyprspace: doesn't seem that it migrated to lua configuration yet
