Yeah, keep the original remote somewhere safe. You will need it anyway because the channel order changes or some bullshit by its own. Also even with a remote like that my gramps managed to fuck everything up but it happened way less often.

Protip: You can get remotes made for grandmas for a few bucks.

Its a little bit over a year since i use Linux exclusively for gaming and the best part is how excited i get for every little update.

I encountered this issue just yesterday:

KDE Plasma 6.8: MangoHud and the Steam overlay no longer look oversaturated in HDR10 games on Wine-Wayland. WINE_WAYLAND_HDR_PASSTHROUGH=1 restores the previous behavior (#898, #916).
and now its already fixed.

In the last few years on Windows i spent so much time to actively avoid/stop automatic updates. On Linux instead i update my OS sometimes twice a day on my own accord because i need my endorphine fix.

oof,

i learned about all the hidden settings for my CX via: https://www.youtube.com/@hdtvtest

Maybe he has some videos for the C5 or slightly older modell which still applies too.

Press the green button seven times on your remote and an overlay should pop up.

I played the demo and the main issue i have is that i dont like the driving physics which was also an issue for me on both their previous games. I really like everything else about those games. But imho the physics are just ass. Its not about realism as in too simlike or too arcadey for me. They just feel off and unfun. I never feel i can predict my next move. Be it the next corner in Art of Rally or how to approach a ditch in Over the Hill. Which is fine at first. But beeing able to predict and succesfully reacting to that is imho quite essential to car based games. Which i’m usually quite successful at in most car based games after a few hours. But never managed it with funselektor games sadly.

But i’m fully aware how positive the reception for these games are and i’m a minority in this regard.

IDK on Android. But on PC i just had to activate WebGPU in the about:config in Firefox to make it work.

edit: Yeah and it works really well for what it is. Seeing thousands of other cars on your map is really fun. I highly recommend to deactivate collisions though. Otherwise its constant carnage. The netcode for this slopped together port of a 20 years old game is obviously pretty poor. Especially because there isnt regional instancing. But there is fun to be had with a few online races. I played through UG2 probably four to five times through the years but never had the chance to play the multiplayer. So i’m pretty happy to have had the chance to experience that for once.

Just looked up the prices of the ddr4 ram kit i considered to buy 1,5 years ago. Its now >500% more expensive. Even compared to last month the prices increased by >30%.

If my ram dies i’m just going to emulate PS1 games on my phone or touch some grass.

looks like the dev made some efforts with the licensing issues. also improved the performance even a bit more.

Of all the CEO fuck heads Scam Altman truly is the most annoying one. I think i’m going to put his name in my little filter list right under the name of the most pathetic fuck head.
