Yeah, keep the original remote somewhere safe. You will need it anyway because the channel order changes or some bullshit by its own. Also even with a remote like that my gramps managed to fuck everything up but it happened way less often.

Protip: You can get remotes made for grandmas for a few bucks.

Hello me from 9 months ago. Long story short, i got used to it and tbh i dont use my wheel that often either way.

But in case somebody ever finds this post in search for a solution. There is now a vibecoded fix:

Havent tested it myself yet! But dont call me Denvercoder9!

Its a little bit over a year since i use Linux exclusively for gaming and the best part is how excited i get for every little update.

I encountered this issue just yesterday:

KDE Plasma 6.8: MangoHud and the Steam overlay no longer look oversaturated in HDR10 games on Wine-Wayland. WINE_WAYLAND_HDR_PASSTHROUGH=1 restores the previous behavior (#898, #916).
and now its already fixed.

In the last few years on Windows i spent so much time to actively avoid/stop automatic updates. On Linux instead i update my OS sometimes twice a day on my own accord because i need my endorphine fix.

oof,

i learned about all the hidden settings for my CX via: https://www.youtube.com/@hdtvtest

Maybe he has some videos for the C5 or slightly older modell which still applies too.

Press the green button seven times on your remote and an overlay should pop up.

I played the demo and the main issue i have is that i dont like the driving physics which was also an issue for me on both their previous games. I really like everything else about those games. But imho the physics are just ass. Its not about realism as in too simlike or too arcadey for me. They just feel off and unfun. I never feel i can predict my next move. Be it the next corner in Art of Rally or how to approach a ditch in Over the Hill. Which is fine at first. But beeing able to predict and succesfully reacting to that is imho quite essential to car based games. Which i’m usually quite successful at in most car based games after a few hours. But never managed it with funselektor games sadly.

But i’m fully aware how positive the reception for these games are and i’m a minority in this regard.

IDK on Android. But on PC i just had to activate WebGPU in the about:config in Firefox to make it work.

edit: Yeah and it works really well for what it is. Seeing thousands of other cars on your map is really fun. I highly recommend to deactivate collisions though. Otherwise its constant carnage. The netcode for this slopped together port of a 20 years old game is obviously pretty poor. Especially because there isnt regional instancing. But there is fun to be had with a few online races. I played through UG2 probably four to five times through the years but never had the chance to play the multiplayer. So i’m pretty happy to have had the chance to experience that for once.

Ich kann nicht mehr.

NMS is wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle. IMHO(!) The procedural generation of all the worlds/planets doesnt provide interesting places to discover. Everthing gets really samey really fast just with a bit of different coat of paint so to speak. I also wouldnt say its a thinking mans game. Its mostly a lot of brain dead tedium with tons of resource gathering. The main goal is to get to the center of the galaxy. Everything a long the way is the fun you find for yourself. There is some sort of “story” in place. But compared to the other games you mentioned in your post i also could easily argue NMS doesnt have a story.

Personally i still use my first save file since 2016 when i look into the game for a few minutes/hours after several big updates because i find the start to be really slow and boring before you can enter and fly your ship for the first time.

tbf, NMS never managed to really pull me in. Consider my post as the pessimistic outlook. Maybe someone else can provide a more positive spin on the game.

Idk, i feel like the AAA gaming industry put themselves already in a pretty unsustainable path for the last decade. With or without the several consumer hardware crisis we had a long the way. That constant push for even more graphical fidelity doesnt provide better experiences anymore but drives the costs up to stupid levels(hundreds of millions). I’m an enthusiast and i can spot the differences and advancements we made even in the last 5 years. But i dont think the results as impressive as they can be are really worth it. We’re at a place where we can boot up games with particularly well crafted artstyles which are 10 years old which look better than currently released AAA titles with lesser visions. But i can also boot up 10 year old games with for their time average looking graphics and forget about the slighly less shiny lighting in 5 minutes when the gameplay doesnt suck.

But even if we entertain the idea that consumer hardware pogress stalls and we only buy replacements parts with equal performance we would still have an industry which pushes the software side forward. Consoles are the best examples where we see considerably better utilization of the hardware over the years by game devs.

With all that said: Fuck the AAA industry. They can implode for all that matters to me. In this regard i consider the “good” times over since roughly 2013 with the hyper monetization, dlcs, mtx, gambling, live services, kernel level anti-cheat, kernel level drm, revokable licences, fomo mechanics, etc. But there will always be small studios and indie devs which will release new and fresh games which run on potato.

Just looked up the prices of the ddr4 ram kit i considered to buy 1,5 years ago. Its now >500% more expensive. Even compared to last month the prices increased by >30%.

If my ram dies i’m just going to emulate PS1 games on my phone or touch some grass.

hey, thats more than at my current job.

I’m too lazy to look up Lenovos current lineup of products. But atleast 10 years ago when i was somewhat knowledgable on that matter they already had tons of differing SKUs to water down the brand. The $2000 offerings were normally the T and X series. The business juggernauts. T’s for the devs. X’s for the departments who wanted a Macbook Air but werent allowed to have one from corporate for reasons(MS contract). I think there also was also the somewhat rare W-series with workstation GPUs for the engineers.

But Lenovo also branded the L and E series as thinkpads. Which were just shitty entry level laptops with the design cues of a “real” Thinkpad. Whats a “real” Thinkpad? Probably some IBM machine with a Pentium 3 processor if you ask an enthusiast.

Anyway, i made half of my post up.

IMHO it wasnt the name. The Wii was succesful because of the motion controls. Gaming was seen as a thing for kids, ugly nerds and couch potatoes. Probably still is to a certain degree but 20 years ago gaming acceptance was in whole different spot in the normie mindset compared to today. Nintendo was able to capture the non-gaming audience because they made gaming look active. Be it physically with the Wiis motion controls or these “mind jogging” games or whatever the fuck they were called on the DS. My mother bought a Wii back then… for herself. Wii Sports and that balance board thingy was her jam. She used that thing for a decade to stay fit. The mother of a friend had a DS which was used exclusivly by her for those puzzle/math games. Normies had Wii parties where they played Wii Sport together and bragged about the sore muscles they got the next day at work.

Yeah, well and then came a new box with a shitty Ipad as the main gimmick? While the normies started to play on their phone/tablet or just moved on to do something entirely different like idk joining a book club or nordic walking. Because the Wii was never about the games for them. At the same time they couldnt catch the core gamers attention because the Wii U could barely surpass the performance of the previous gen while the Xbox One and PS4 were on the horizon.

Photopea is really good. It pretty much has all the tools i ever need as someone who had a passion for graphics design/photo editing in their youth but never went pro. It gets shit done for some simple stuff i want to slap together now and then.

But some stuff gets laggy really fast. Like worse than PS CS2 on my Pentium 4 shitbox 20 years ago. I wish we could have Photopea without browser technology in an appimage/flatpak or whatever. It would be perfect.
