If I recall correctly it sorta changes over the course of the games. I think DS1 was primarily focused on character level, or souls spent on levels, while DS2 had a separate tracking system based on how many souls you have collected in total. Can’t speak too much on DS3 though.
For DS1 and DS2 at least, you definitely can climb those ranks to the point it’s difficult to find someone else that’s online and in your bracket, yeah.
Really cool to see “mainline” titles getting this prior to release. Had a friend get pulled into Marvel Rivals who mainlines Linux at home, and he had actually 0 issues getting it running at the time. Literally just download and play. Civ also seems like the perfect game to play on a Deck, so this is a no brainer, but cool to see this stuff is getting more popular to support out-the-box.
A short electronic instrumental that really isn’t all that complex or terribly interesting, but holds a true wealth of emotional context for me. It feels like the awkward first steps in a relationship until something clicks, and ends with a touch of melancholy to my ear.
This comment is how I always hope my info dumps go when someone asks me a technical question about something I have good experience in using. 10/10 comment, love it.
First answer to me is Chris Christodoulou, who did everything for Risk of Rain and Risk of Rain 2. The man knows how to let ambient vibes build to boss music
I appreciate the informative reply!
Now I’m just curious about you, after seeing your posts. I’ve seen a couple of games come up more than once, but a pretty wide variety of games that usually take a lot of time to get through. Have you been hopping back and forth between some “new to you” games while you come back to Skyrim every now and again? I’ve seen a fair amount of RPGs of some variety, are those your mainstay for games?
I personally have not moved to Linux as my daily juuuust yet, so I’m relatively uninformed, but I am curious. What were these “proprietary” versions the article mentions before the open source ones that it’s comparing against? Were they also Nvidia released, just closed source, or would those be from OEMs (Dell, Lenovo, etc) who include Nvidia hardware in their laptops/desktops that are shipping with Linux installed by default?
I can only sympathise, and thank you for posting this because I need to hear good things right now too.
I’m moving soon, and won’t be taking the cat that has lived with me for their entire life, since he is my roommate’s cat.
I wish I could sit down and explain to him why he won’t see me as much anymore, and that I love him, and will miss him. Also to stop eating every god damn thing he finds on the floor.
I’m JUST thinking about Silicon Valley now.
Another one is how most 2g and 3g services (some SMS and voice connections) have known vulnerabilities. Unfortunately not just software security vulnerabilities, but also bad actors that can lease access within that system. That combination can allow for attacks within the underlying systems that make the target completely unaware for periods of time that their messages and voice calls are being intercepted, including 2 factor authentication content over SMS.
Veritasium has a cool video about it. https://youtu.be/wVyu7NB7W6Y
If possible, it is best to not rely on SMS authentication for privacy.
