  • I watched it.

  • Support doesn't have to be based on a specific distro. It isn't for any of the other ports that support us.

  • The way I see it, native support means our platform is actually being supported.

    Though it seems I may have celebrated too soon here...

    Now that there is a Steam Deck Native build, is Baldur’s Gate 3 supported on Linux?

    Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform. The Steam Deck Native build is only supported on Steam Deck.

  • This is huge. I was beginning to lose hope we'd ever see a big budget high-profile non-indie get a Linux port ever again.

    Edit: Maybe not that huge...

  • CITY: The Animation

    My jaw hit the floor on the first trailer, and again on episode 5.

  • The technical merits were why FF7 was so impactful as a cultural landmark of video game history.

    Is Trails a good game? Sure.

    Is FF7 the right comparison to invoke? Not even close.

  • The big thing about FF7 was that it came out during a critical transition period for the industry, and Squaresoft put the highest budget of any video game to date into making sure FF's jump to 3D graphics was as explosive as possible. The game was heavily marketed on its technical merits, boasting about how everything this game does could only be possible on PS1. It's full of setpiece moments that are literally just Squaresoft trying to show off their VFX budget (this is why summon cutscenes are so absurdly long). And it blew audiences away because no one had never seen anything like it before. FF7 was a revolution.

    Trails certainly has good reason to be beloved by its niche fanbase, but by 2004, it really wasn't doing anything super unique compared to its contemporaries from the same time period. It's a polished game, but I can't describe it as anything more than an evolution.

  • What part of this is comparable to FF7?

  • This comparison really feels strained. FF7 was the PS1's biggest game, and by far. It was a revolution that shook the entire industry.

    Trails is a cult classic that's beloved by a niche fanbase, and I'm happy to see this kind of game get a shot at wider recognition here, but its impact was in no way even remotely comparable to FF7.

  • The original was part of a trilogy, this is a remake of that same first game in the trilogy.

  • Trump certainly isn't helping, but it's a number of factors put together. Moore's Law is slowing, and one effect of that is that manufacturing existing tech isn't getting cheaper either.

  • Stewart was very much saying something. If you haven't seen last night's episode, go take a look.

  • If you do that then they definitely won't fall the same.

  • If F is the same but m is different, what happens to a?

  • minus drag

    On Earth, this is the part that makes it so that objects do not fall at the same speed.

    on the moon

    This is the type of experiment they could not do 2000 years ago.

  • If two objects have the same size and shape, the force applied by air resistance will be the same. However, if two objects have different mass, that same force will result in different acceleration.

  • When accounting for air resistance, heavy objects do fall faster than light ones. They couldn't test in a vacuum back then, they only knew how things work here in Earth's atmosphere.

  • Very few things are ever perfect on the first try. It takes a lot of experimentation to learn what works and what doesn't.

  • I'd be too much of a lazy dictator to do anything truly evil.
