Any out there have any luck running ? I've tried the xivlauncher flatpak on Mint, and the game runs but I get like 8 fps. Using the exact same hardware as my wife, who runs the game with no issues on Windows.

(I'm content to keep playing on console, but I want to see if I can try to lure her away from Windows. Being able to keep using xivlauncher would likely be non-negotiable for her.)

Hey and folks. What are you playing / streaming at the moment, and should I check it out?

My current playlist includes Crow Country and Manor Lords for review, and Tenchu and Horizon Zero Dawn for fun.

So & fans... I'm struggling with Octopath Traveler 2. I can handle random battles, but that combined with super disjointed stories & very restrictive party management is making the game less fun and more burdensome and/or disruptive.

I'm thinking of switching (pun intended) to Terra Memoria for a fun, cozy experience.

Anyone else struggle with OT2?

Huh, so what other have mentioned, South-East Asia now have a better ping to European gaming servers than US West Coast (or any US-based gaming servers).

This is interesting. I'm going to expand my test in the future. But for now, the results are the same with or without VPN. I guess ASEAN now have a direct connection to the EU IX and uses the latest technology?

I wonder where our connection passes through to get to the EU.

Here in the Philippines, our connection goes through:

  1. Taiwan or Hong Kong
  2. From there it travels the Pacific Ocean to US West Coast.
  3. From US West Coast, it travels to Central.
  4. From Central to East Coast.
  5. From East Coast to Europe.

If we now have a connection direct to EU IX, then it means we're no longer passing through the US?

Any IX experts out there?

    It's wild to me that this game controller layout just evolved to become the standard de facto layout in gaming.

    Joy con top left and bottom right
    D-pad bottom left, buttons top right.

    My question is for the left-handed folks out there. Does this work for y'all too or would a mirror version be better?

    Anyone remember

    Well did you know, in 2012, a 29-page graphic novella was written by Terry Scott Taylor and illustrated by creator @dougtennapel

    It even came with a 19-track CD serving as the backdrop to the comic! 🎶

    As young voters increasingly support phasing out fossil fuels, oil giant Shell is aiming to reach this demographic — not by cutting its oil and gas development, but via video game marketing. The company is working with Fortnite creators and sponsoring popular gamers to promote its premium gas on the streaming platform Twitch, as well as on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

    Picked up a pristine PS One, Demo One, Euro Demo 59 and Euro Demo 70. For £11 ($14).

    I don't think this thing has been out of a box for more than a few days in the last 23 years. It SMELLS new.
