overview for Gordon

It all started with the Xbox, since people did not questioned it and received it with open arms the others (Sony and Nintendo) just copied it. It's just matter of time we end up paying on PC too

Baldur’s Gate 3 had to be scaled back for the Series S, but the console still has a right to exist by Gordon_Freeman in c/gaming@beehaw.org

AAA PC exclusive titles also have the right to exists.

I miss playing good first person shooters...

Why did Baldur's Gate 3 blow up? Larian lead writer says it's thanks to "a big gamble" with CRPG standards by Gordon_Freeman in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

The first game in ages where it actually feels like the company/ developers actually put in effort and released a complete product

I miss the time when this was common

Fan Ports PlayStation Classic [WipeOut], Dares Sony To Shut Him Down And Make Its Own by Gordon_Freeman in c/gaming@beehaw.org

WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation

It was so exclusive that was ported to DOS, Windows and the Sega Saturn

Distro: EndeavourOS
Completely updated. Everything worked fine until yesterday.
No hardware changes (idk why says the graphic card is not compatible, is a Nvidia RTX 3060)

KeepassXC refuses to run

if I click the icon it does nothing, if I try to run it through the console I get this error

qt.glx: qglx_findConfig: Failed to finding matching FBConfig for QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlagsQSurfaceFormat::FormatOption(), depthBufferSize -1, redBufferSize 1, greenBufferSize 1, blueBufferSize 1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize -1, samples -1, swapBehavior QSurfaceFormat::SingleBuffer, swapInterval 1, colorSpace QSurfaceFormat::DefaultColorSpace, profile QSurfaceFormat::NoProfile)

Could not initialize GLX

Steam runs, but only minimized on the system tray, it refuses to open a window (I have no errors in a console, yet it does not work properly)

Blender also refuses to work, similarly to keepassXC, clicking the icon does nothing, on the console I got this

Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.

The program will now close.

What game mechanics do you love and hate? by Gordon_Freeman in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago

Fishing minigames. I hate them with every single fiber of my body specially when they are mandatory for progress or to get 100% completition

They are not relaxing, they are painfully boring

I love hard games, but only when the challenge is fair, if the game consist solely on trial and error, that's bad

I genuinely enjoy the "git gud" journey, I find it very rewarding

New Rule announcement: Meme Monday's by Gordon_Freeman in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I blocked the user who flooded the community with shitposting, I prefer no content rather than shitty, low quality content

I left plenty of subreddits because that kind of content was rampant and it was hard to find actual quality content, because those posts were buried in shitty memes

I want to return to Linux. Recomendations? (kbin.social)

Like 10-15 years ago I was into linux and tried a bunch of different distros (PCLinuxOS, Mint, CentOS, OpenSuse...) and was quite happy with the, then, limited options of gaming on linux (It was the time Valve released TF2 for linux)

But time passed, I got a new PC and didn't bothered install any linux distro (because I got a small HDD and didn't wanted to split it in partitions for linux)

Back then stuff like Proton did not even exists, so today I'm kind of lost and don't know what flavour I should pick, so here I am asking for advice

A couple of relevant details about the hardware, my PC is a little bit old (i7-7700) I hope that's not an obstacle to enjoy gaming on linux I also have an Nvidia graphic card

Also, while most people just use Steam I also use GOG regularly, if that matters

Looking for a music player (for local files) (kbin.social)

I'm looking a music player focused on local media (stored in my phone's SD card)

I used foobar2000, but I found creating playlist incredibly tedious so I changed to VLC, which is ok, it let me choose a bunch of files and add them to a playlist, but both share the same problem. When I change my SD card for a new one I have to start from the scratch and create all the playlist again, and that's a pain in the ass

So I'm looking for a audio player that let me easily export and import the playlist I create
