Kickstarter doesn’t release the funds to a project until the goal is hit, and if it doesn’t reach the goal they don’t get anything. I’m not sure if they collect the money from funders before the target is hit or not though.

I didn’t think the project was about independence from Valve, moreso about avoiding duplication of effort among Bottles/Heroic/Lutris and Linux gaming support in general.

I don’t see a timer at the bottom of their website - instead I see this line of text:

https://blackmesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/SampleinGC.png DAMN! You guys are quick... Didn't even have time to put the right image up yet.

That SampleinGC.png image is accessible, and is a picture of a vial in a testing chamber of some sort. The image also has metadata attached; a description that is a string of morse code:

PCPartPicker can filter for card length (in millimeters as opposed to inches, but still) and that should help with narrowing down your choices. Most GPUs have some variant that’s shorter in length, but they might just charge a bit of a premium for it.

Bazzite is the gaming spin, and basically the starting point for people that want a couch console / HTPC / stationary Steam Deck imo.

Bluefin and Aurora are put together with general computer use in mind, and then both of them can be swapped to a developer-focused “-dx” image with a single command, that adds VS Code and a bunch of development tools.

It just changes the starting point based on if your PC is mainly for work, or mainly for play. All three are just as capable to be set up for whatever.

Maybe check out uBlue Bluefin. It’s based on Fedora Silverblue (so it’s GNOME), but with a lot of the extra non-free stuff that Fedora can’t include by default pre-configured. There’s also Aurora if you’d rather a KDE based version.

They both update automatically via atomic image, so if anything goes wrong you can just roll back. It mainly uses flatpak for GUI packages and brew for CLI stuff, but they have included distrobox too if you wanted to install things from anywhere else.

Everything they do (including defaulting to a “Grand Touring Series” GTS tag instead of an also available Latest tag) is with a mindset of sticking to stable packages and adopting things once the kinks have already been worked out, but not sacrificing features.

The usual fix from the Jellyfin docs would be to check you file naming conventions, and add the TVDB or TMDB show ID to the folder so that it scrapes it correctly, or use the Identify option like @Rudee mentioned to select a better match from the UI after import.

Both TVDB and TMDB consider Pokémon Journeys to be Season 23 of the original Pokémon show, the OMDB seems to list it as a standalone show though, so you could import and match it against that metadata.

Thanks! I claimed the WRC9 key.

I’m usually using nvidia-beta drivers from AUR because they’re newer, so I just added the hook as an insurance policy.

The DKMS drivers are probably the safer option because they’ll handle rebuilding the kernel modules. Even though (like EddyBot said) the kernel and nvidia packages are supposed to get updated together, sometimes you can spam pacman -Syu at the wrong time and only one package is updated and things go wonky…

Nvidia Arch user here, are you just forgetting to rebuild your kernel modules after a kernel or nvidia driver update?

You can just add a pacman hook that triggers mkinitcpio -P after the linux or nvidia packages are updated. I’ve never had a no-GUI situation from a stray update… maybe one or two that were my own doing when trying to set up UKI’s though.

CAN see him? (⌐■_■),

Glorious Eggroll is also behind a database called ULWGL that will get all the game launchers that use his proton (heroic, lutris, bottles…) to use the same game specific patches because at the moment they maintain them independently for the most part. The project seems to be taking off pretty quickly because it’s already formed an organization around it and recentered itself to even be Proton-GE independent if needed.

Pretty sure paru without flags defaults to that, so you don’t even need the “-Syu” portion! 👍

Oh, cool.

Maybe Darby thought women were impressed by the same things the Jackass crew would be?

I’m honestly just glad it wasn’t somehow Ric Flair.

As good as the mask looks in this photo, TJP’s Aswang gimmick didn’t work for me at all when watching WK18. I had kinda lapsed on NJPW since before the G1 last year though, so maybe I was missing a lot of context for it? Felt like English commentary couldn’t decide if they could say it was actually TJP for a bit too, like they didn’t know if it was a one time thing or not.

Oh I agree that NOAH aren’t blameless, but it was probably a case of Ibushi being like “I can do this, I’m like 90% healthy!” and them thinking that the 10% is like bruised ribs or ring rust or something, and not a broken fucking ankle.

He was on an AEW show in November, was he as banged up then? I only really remember him doing that ridiculous bicycle spot, cycling really slowly around the ring with a pipe in his hand.
