It’s so funny you mentioned it because I was actually worried about that too. Achievement popups in a game like this (even on steam tbh) can really take you out of it. And AW2 has qute a few too sheesh. Not sure if steam offline mode still has em. Good to know I’m not insane though haha

Complete and utter trash really. Just a horrible experience all round. I’ve used Epic before and I thought offline was a thing. After I was finally able to login, you can imagine my surprise when I learned that I can NEVER play offline. Logged in correctly, ran the game online fine, closed off everything, unplugged ethernet and tried to play - got hit with that “this game requires an internet connection” dialog.
I was willing to look past an outage since I figured maybe it’s because it was the second or third time launching it and it needed keys or whatever, but online only? We get internet and power issues like crazy here, that’s an actual deal breaker.
Genuinely didn’t wanna but I ended up refunding it. Remedy, if you’re seeing this, hmu when it’s on steam and I can actually play offline. Paid for it once, willing to again :)

It’s a damn shame it was overshadowed by BG3. Feels like an lesser version of the Titanfall 2 situation. Bought it on discount the other day because I want them to make money from it.
With that said, FUUUUUUCK Epic! I’m really considering refunding already because the damn launcher is now refusing to login and let me play the game I paid for. It’s always insane to me that 99% of the time, paying for a game is a worse experience than pirating it.

Honestly with the tech where it is today, there’s really no downsides to wireless with a dongle except maybe price at certain brackets. Most modern wireless gaming mice are as good if not better than their wired counterparts. If you don’t care about sensor performance or polling rate, you can still get a cheapo wireless mouse that performs about as well as the cheapo wired mouse you were gonna get anyway with the added convenience of no cables.

1 month ago, I know, sorry. I ended up upgrading and AW2 was like 70% of the reason. Can’t do RT and still hit 60 but even without it, what an incredible looking game, and that’s only the beginning. I don’t think I’ve ever played anything like this. It’s your basic (albeit bery solid) survival horror sure but the tone is PITCH FUCKING PERFECT and the story’s interesting in a way very few are. I’m only a few chapters in but it feels like playing through a novel more than a game.
I’m on the non-epic PC version right now (shhh) but I’m 100% buying it once I get the disposable income because even though I hate Epic, god damn Remedy deserves to make money off this.

Honestly…I’d take it if it set me up for life. Realistically, 99.9% of the people who can’t see past the moniker would never have mattered to me anyway and as for the stuff about your life being distilled to just that, who gives a flying fuck as long as you make sure you’re good with the life you lived and do right by the people you actually care about and that care about you. Besides “for life” in 2024 means “a year of being inactive, max”.
With that being said, someone in this thread said this is a symptom of a diseased society and I think they’re onto something.

Was gonna say this. As long as you run
dnf updatebefore you upgrade and make sure there aren’t any left (you know, like their upgrade dpcs explicitly tell you to), you’re chilling.Only issues I’ve had with fedora upgrades so fare are plasma incompatibilities (not a fedora issue) and nvidia bullshit (not a fedora issue).

Damn, I knew about X-Files and Twin Peaks, but I had no idea about the others. It’s honestly a rabbit hole I’d love to go down if I ever get the time. Adulting sucks :(

Right?! I can’t run it at the moment so I’ll need to upgrade first, but damn literally every frame I’ve see of Alan Wake 2 is just peak Remedy goodness. The not being able to run it part actually kinda works out for me because I wanna buy it once it hits Steam.

I went Control -> Control: Foundation DLC -> Alan Wake and now I’m a thurd of the way through Control AWE DLC. Can confirm, what a ride.
Plus both games have amazing soundtracks. Got multiple songs from both on my regular rotation.

On Android, Flud has been good to me over the years even though the ads can get annoying at times. Hopefully it helps you get Linux ISOs on your phone with ease :)
