Games@lemmy.world•Hitman Classic Trilogy Remastered - Announcement TrailerEnglish
0·2 months agoCool, I’ve been wanting to give the older hitmans another chance after loving WOA. I couldn’t really get past the controls when I tried them but this must be adding controller support for consoles.

Technology@lemmy.world•KDE Plasma 6.7 Beta Introduces Plasma Bigscreen Mode for HTPCsEnglish
28·3 months agoProbably the same as on a Linux desktop now, the browser sites work fine but you won’t get 4k or HDR.

Godot@programming.dev•I'm adding a random vector function to my plugin. Is range or min/max better?English
0·4 months agoI’m a fan of inclusive min, exclusive max for rng. It behaves consistently with decimal numbers in a readable way, for example int(0,100) can return 100 different integers. x<0 has a 0% chance of happening, x<50 is 50%, x<100 is 100%. If you swap with dec(0,100) you could now get 99.999 but x<50 is still exactly 50%
I do agree with amio on consistency and making sure each method added is worth the abstraction.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Wine 11.6 is an exciting release to make modding Windows games on Linux simplerEnglish
0·4 months agoIf this does mean
WINEDLLOVERRIDESwon’t be needed I’ll be very happy, it’s been very fiddly trying to get optiscaler working.
In my experience steamvr works but is unstable and has really bad performance compared to windows. (Constant stuttering even in lighter games like pistol whip) Motion smoothing doesn’t work and it feels like there’s some input delay which is not acceptable for vr.
I’ve switched over to monado via envision, which loses the steamvr overlay and is very unpolished. (no camera passthrough and no boundary display, though both seem in development) Games play correctly with reasonable performance, which is what matters.
I wouldn’t recommend linux vr in general right now, if a friend wanted to try my headset I’d probably boot my windows partition. (Original htc vive with a 9070xt, so no excuse for steamvr’s linux performance)

Not sure if you’ve seen but Gears 2 got some sort of recomp/port about a week ago. I haven’t had a chance to play it too much yet but the tutorial with Carmine worked without a hitch. https://www.moddb.com/mods/gears-of-war-2-hollow
