Linux video capture cards
  • Yes, internal consumer capture cards are not really supported on Linux, the manufacturers just don't care so no Linux drivers are available.

    That's why I have gotten myself a prosumer grade card from Blackmagic. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensitypro4k

    Or you could use USB Capture Cards which are better supported, because most of them act like a USB camera, using the same protocol which eliminates the need for drivers, but they often are more limited or have a worse picture quality then internal cards.

  • For me, Cyberpunk 2077 was uninteractive and has low replayablility value.
  • Cyberpunk is a great game, it has a great story that is marvelous told. That is the games biggest strength and one of its biggest limitations too. Heavy story driven games like cyberpunk don't mix very good with a open world with its many detractions and side quests. If a game has a strong story that will capture the player, making side quests and open world design a burden, or into something that gets ignored.

    Logically viewed everything that V would do after having Jonny implanted in his/her brain should be laser focused on the task to learn more about it and to find a cure or solution. There should be no driving around and playing mommy or daddy for some freaked out cabs or other side quests. Yes, doing side quests could be explained as a way to get resources for the main tasks, but as those side quests are completely optional there is nothing really backing that explanation up.

    So you either have to ignore a life threatening condition to play side quests or ignore that huge part of the game and fixate on the main quest.

    Cyberpunk has no real "sandbox" moment because the open world really only opens up after you get the world largest cyber brain virus implanted deeply.

  • What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?
  • There is so much to do and to see in the game, I have so many hours in and still find new stuff that I had not seen before.

    25h is barely the main quest and there is so much else to see and do then the main quest. Faction quests, side quests, radiant quests, base building, ship building, new game plus, DLC, mods.

    Starfield is packed full with stuff to discover, people just have to be open for the game. Yes it has lots of flaws, the awful temple puzzle was the first thing that I changed with mods, and yes the loading screens are not great. I can forgive the game it's flaws, maybe because I never over hyped it as so much other did.

    I am playing Bethesda games for over 20 years now, since Morrowind, and I have a very good idea what to expect from a Bethesda game and where the strength and limitations of the engine are. Due to this I never expected to be able to do atmospheric flights or to travel over huge parts of the planet in one go, or to have huge interplanetary or interstellar areas. The engine is not made for that kind of things, not at all, so I never expected the game to have those features and so my expectations for the game were very similar to the delivered product.

  • What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?
  • I still play Starfield, I really like the game but have it modded a lot now.

    Never had any fun with No man's sky, for me the story is boring and the rest of the game can't hook me. In my eyes Starfield is a way better game, but I can see and understand why other think different about this.

  • We are a lot more alike than we are different
  • Yes, it gets problematic as soon as extreme positions and mentalities enter the equation. All extrem positions are toxic, extreme left, extreme right, extreme religious (any religion), extreme fans of a sports club, extreme anything doesn't matter.

    If we could find some kind of balance, some true middle ground without huge extremes, then the world would be a much nicer place.

  • There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation
  • My socializing during the pandemic was more or less the same as before or after the pandemic. I am very sensitive to sound, a introvert, a huge nerd and don't care for most of the topics "normal" people talk about like sport. I have no reason to go outside, I don't like to be at places with many people and I don't any knowledge in topic that can be used for smalltalk.

    Due to this the biggest part of my social bubble is located all over the world and we communicate purely online. It was called lockdown but for me it was just a normal Tuesday.

  • Warcraft 1 and 2 Remastered and the long-awaited 2.0 patch update for Warcraft 3: Reforged have just launched on PC for Warcraft's 30th anniversary
  • There are open source engine rebuilds for Dune 2 that offer lots of QoL/UX refinements so it is really great to play but at the same time those changes make the game way to easy.

    Dune 2 was designed and balanced with the limitations in mind and removing them utterly breaks the difficulty.

  • Oh I see where this misunderstanding comes from. I am not IninewCrow, I just thing the general concept of this idea is interesting and gave it my own spin.

    So he/she said the thing with the time, I said everything in the posts below it :D

  • Oh no, I never said that they are only separable by time but that one is the predecessor or root of the other and that religions can spawn new cults of their own.

    It can't only be time that transforms the one into the other, because otherwise we would have 100th of religions right now from all the sects and cults that have existed in the past.

  • Not if "believe" from the followers is some kind of cosmic energy that powers the gods or defines their hierarchy, a pandimensional twitter subscription counter of sorts. In that case the last thing you want is to prove your existence as a god, because as soon as your existence is proven all believe will pop out of existence and will be replaced with knowledge of the existence.

    Believe is only possible when the thing to believe in is vague and unknowable, you can't by definition ever believe in the existence of anything that you are sure of.

  • At least both Christianity and Islamic religions started as cults and became religions. Christianity was even a sect of people believing in the coming of the end times, that's what the revelation in the new testament is for.

    A sect or a cult is always the root of any new religion and often new sects or cults are the offspring of an older religion. Religion, cults and sects are as concepts interconnected.
