Best “Classic WipEout” homage I ever played.

Best “Classic WipEout” homage I ever played.
Vita3k + WipEout 2048 + HD DLC + Fury DLC = almost Omega Collection on PC 🤣
Runs great on Steam Deck too.

Hey fellow WipEout junkie 👋
You and me brother.
Which machine did you choose? I went for the Lelit Bianca, never regretted it.
Same. Old DB2 base from the 80’s that was migrated to Oracle in the 90’s then to Postgres in the 2010’s.
And the people there know all the column names by heart 😅
Go AMD. The open-source drivers already provide the best performance compared to the closed-source ones, and are included in the kernel and Mesa, which means the cards will work out of the box. For the best performance and latest drivers and optimizations you should switch to a distro with more up to date packages than Debian if you plan on buying a current gen card tho. For example, Fedora is a very good mix between working OOTB, ease of use and bleeding-edge packages.
nVidia is… difficult. The open-source drivers are getting better but are still way behind closed-source drivers, and each closed-source drivers version only works with a single kernel version. It might work OK as long as the drivers and kernel are kept in sync (I think Pop! or Nobara have nVidia specific versions for this reason), but otherwise each kernel upgrade is a risk. Plus nVidia drivers are basically shit with Wayland and cause a ton of issues.
Intel has a good track record with iGPUs so discrete cards should be as trivial to use as AMD ones, if more at the entry-level performance-wise.
I learned this week-end that Vita3k runs great on the Deck and that game compatibility has tremendously advanced, so I’m doing WipEout 2048 right now :D
Yeah there’s no confusion in French because “étage” literally means “floor above ground”, so calling the ground floor an “étage” makes no sense. It’s called “rez-de-chaussée” (“at street level”) or RDC for short. Same as “sous-sol” (“under-ground”).

I concur with the person above. I have a 4yo QcK Edge mat that still looks and feels almost new. If you thoroughly soak and clean them when they start to get grimy they’ll keep their properties for a very long time.

There are more bugs reported. That makes all the difference.
People used to closed source everything are trained to eat shit and find a workaround.
Yeah depends on where you are but they’re slowly expanding their operations. I think they should ship at least to the whole EU instead of focusing only on the richest markets, and this might be easier since they opened their new fulfillment center in the Netherlands, but having followed closely the SteamDeck’s launch, I also know that logistics are a pain even for a huge company like Valve. It probably doesn’t make sense yet for suck a “small” operation to spread itself too thin too soon.
AFAIK there are no OEMs that build AMD dGPU-equipped laptops. Most “small brand” and Linux-first laptop manufacturers actually sell rebadged Tongfang or Clevo laptops, and 99% of their products are Intel anyway. AMD CPUs are often only found in “gaming” laptops with nVidia dGPUs.
That’s why I’ve put a deposit on a Framework 16. Zen 4 CPU, optional RDNA3 dGPU module, upgradable and repairable. They’re not preinstalling Linux like Tuxedo or Slimbook, but they’re at least Linux-friendly.
From the top of my head, all these work perfectly on my 5yo Intel laptop and are often found on sale or in bundles.
Baba is You: you know that in every game, there are a fixed set of rules (“physics”), and you must use them efficiently in order to win? In this game, you must change the rules to solve puzzles. Super simple gameplay, tricky to master, really fucks your brain as you need to think outside the box.
Hotline Miami (1 and 2): top-down shooter with impeccable gameplay, level design and soundtrack. Super fast paced, die-retry-die-retry game loop, and great story too. Every level is challenging in its own way which makes it not so repetitive.
Nuclear Throne or Enter the Gungeon: procedurally generated top-down shooters, very similar to each other. Fun pixel-art, never replay the same levels although I guess it could be repetitive after a while.
For your screen, try a live ISO of another distro that’s not based on Debian. I struggled for years with my 1440p monitor on Wayland when plugged in to my laptop. Turns out, there’s something wrong with the way Debian’s kernel decodes my monitor’s EDID. On Fedora, it worked out of the box.
About Nobara, I’m not sure it’s better than vanilla Fedora for a beginner. Sure, there are a lot of nice things baked in and rpmfusion enabled by default, but the dual system update thing is… not great. I’m still running my gaming rig on Nobara tho. YMMV.
About nVidia and their drivers… yeah, they suck. And they will continue to suck for the foreseeable future. That’s why I built my system around an AMD GPU from the start. People like to complain about Wayland and that it’s not ready for prime time and that Wayland sucks. Well, nVidia drivers are to blame. I’ve been running Wayland almost exclusively for the past 4 years on Intel iGPUs and AMD GPUs, it’s always been nice and reliable.
There are people who consume flavored crystal DHMO recreationally. Children even!
Exactly the same!
I still admire and am super thankful to @ruud for all the time, effort and money he and his friends are pouring into trying to optimize world.
Burn, probably not. After all we can dip our hands in hot water for hours and feel fine. Bloodflow would take away a large part of this heat.
If you were to dip yourself in such a liquid, you would probably risk hyperthermia really quick though.
Happens to everything that becomes a commodity.
But Model Ms and Model Fs are still in production, and the MK ecosystem has never been so vibrant
