    Has anyone tried with controller? Is it decent? This game has been on my radar for a while, but I'm hesitant because I want to play with controller, and it looks like a lot of menu.

    Look up his ties to Salva who directed Jeepers Creepers. Coppola has always been a creep. Dignity was lost when he kept pushing the career of a child rapist (who did so in his own home) because "they were kids." Near 30 vs a 13 year old boy.

    People need to separate the artist from his work because he has always been wack.

    I'm a PC player but I always wonder when people have this take. I dislike, hugely, their treatment of fans in the preservation space. However, as a company they seem to not do big layoffs, rarely buy companies or IP, and have a history of leadership falling on their swords (financially) during hard times to keep their employees.

    I don't dislike them as a whole because of those elements that are dead at large.

    I could be wrong, I'm not deeply knowledgable outside of a handful of articles over the years.

    I would rank Microsoft way worse though and I used to be in their ecosystem as a big fan. Biggest pusher of owning nothing.

    The guy who made the Backblaze software said it was already done and was easy for their standard client to work with Linux but never got rolled out because Linux users are power users. I wonder if that is the real reason when it comes to Proton. It's not unlimited but maybe there is some power user use that they anticipate and don't want to deal with.

    The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

    Isn't that most of the web?

    I enjoyed the article. I don't think it's coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

    It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren't savvy tend to not use extensions. That's just my experience though.

    I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.

    I'll have a reason to try it out. As an outsider, it looks like the game is a testing spot for their next MMO but The Elder Scrolls Online has excellent controller support and I would love to see more. I had hoped it would be Guild Wars 2, but at least this gives me confidence the LotR MMO will have controller support.

    I just hope they leave the current LotR MMO alone. It's not my game but those people are so so very nice each time I try it.

    You both asked and answered your question, wrapped in "we". I'm not doing a thing. I won't yuck other peoples yum though who find importance in it all. Perhaps being a piece of the historical aspect you mention is also important for some.

    For myself, I do appreciate that some preservation groups are digitally filling up hard drives. I could be wrong, but it feels more sustainable.

    The recent London video from three weeks ago is approaching 400k views. Searching Fallout 4, "10 Hidden Mechanics in Fallout 4" from a day ago has 250k views.

    I'm stoked for London but I think most people are just pumping it up from the show. Which is good because I just finished the show and I need more.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they assigned another studio to make another Fallout already.

    While true I don't think these studios deaths are going to make that happen. I think what we are likely to see is other large studios start making those games. I'm betting Obsidian gets another crack at it.

    I'm actually more interested in what other studios would do anyways. Fallout 4 is less interesting than New Vegas and Fallout 3 was, while still being very good and fun, not as depth filled as the two before.

    I even still think Oblivion, while showing its smaller scale and less resources, was often more imaginative than Skyrim.

    It looks more like multiple companies were needed to pin the individual. I don't expect any company to not comply with legal requests. My understanding is this is why it's important to know what information a company retains.

    For my own use, I have used Proton just to mitigate being a source of ad info and to get better service. I'm not interesting enough to overthrow anything.

    How do you switch window focus while gaming?

    I'm new to having Linux on my main rig. It's been about a month now. I'm hoping someone has a better way to handle focus while gaming. I used to, on Windows 10, hit the Windows key to then fiddle with my panel and other opened programs (or alt+tab). In Linux Mint, I have the issue that the Super key doesn't focus the panel and menu, only the menu. I know the reasons for this but functionally It is what I wish it did. On top of that, alt + tab yanks the cursor to the center of the game screen after initially swapping to the other program. Pushing the super key alone does this as well. But ctrl+alt+down does allow me to swap focus, but it isn't as quick to do. I'm new so I'm thinking maybe there is a better way to quickly swap focus or even better to kill it from centering the mouse on the game occasionally when swapping around.
