I’m curious to see how the combat mechanics will be accepted. Reads like Mass Effect in a high fantasy setting. Could be cool, but at the same time, Dragon Age fans will come to expect something more strategic.

I started it as well. Had weird sound issues that I had to fix by downgrading my system sample rate. It looks and feels amazing now that it works.

The characters are great. It’s not BG3 obviously, but there’s enough depth there. Like I said, it’s on the level of a goofy action movie plot from 20 years ago. No ones gonna get an oscar but you’ll be entertained nonetheless.

It has a lot of Doom-like exploration for new gear and other goodies. Also a handful optional bosses which are pretty hard to beat. But the shooting revolves around basically 3 weapon types (magic types in this case): a DMR, an SMG and a shotgun. The variations thereof don’t feel different enough and the feedback lacks kick, so the shooting doesn’t feel very meaty. It’s still solid enough, but the story is definitely what carried me through the 20ish hours of the game.

I just finished Immortals of Aveum. I really liked the story. Felt like an early 2000 science fiction action movie. It’s gorgeous looking but the shooting didn’t have enough oomph to be really fun, so I stopped playing after the credits rolled. Didn’t feel the need to 100% it.

I played a resist durge and I get the feeling I saw like at least 80% of the game. I might do a murder hobo illithid run at some point, where I drag all my origin companions to the dark side. But another 100 hour run just to see the remaining 20%… I don’t know, seems like work.

Couldn’t participate in these threads for a while, because it would have been the same game over and over again. But now I’m finally free! I beat Baldurs Gate 3 with a 150+ hours resist dark urge run.

I started Immortals of Aveum as a palate cleanser. Pretty decent FPS with a cool story and lots of secrets.

Be aware that kwallet will require you to enter your password if you auto-login. Kwallet usually saves your passwords for wifi etc. That’s why auto-login with KDE doesn’t make much of a difference in most use cases

It’s probably gone. But maybe you could have some luck looking for it in your BIOS like others suggested.

I haven’t used windows in quite a while, but while I did, on laptops sold with windows there was a recovery partition on them you could reinstall windows from. If you removed that partition you had no legal way of reinstalling, because no key was made available to you at any point.

Oh man that game is such a hidden gem. The art style is gorgeous and the puzzles are really organic and make you feel like you’re getting smarter.

Is it just screensavers that are broken? Because I have set my screen to turn off instead of a screensaver and that is disabled while video is playing in FF. Maybe it’s an option in the mean time?

The command itself isn’t complex:

YDOTOOL_SOCKET="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" ydotool key 28:1 28:0

The hard part is getting ydotool to run on boot for your user (no sudo). I had to create a bash script to run on login with the following line:

ydotoold --socket-path="$HOME/.ydotool_socket" --socket-own="$(id -u):$(id -g)"

It’s a bit hacky but it works.

There’s still a bunch of little bugs in KDE6, they’ll get ironed out over time. For the KDE connect bug I use a ydotool command to emulate an enter key press to accept the remote command access from my bed.

Mullvad has DNS options that even block out some ads and trackers: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

I had a bunch of mild but annoying breakage since the update as well. What helped me is renaming .cache and .config, rebooting and just copying select things over to the fresh folders

I managed to track it down further. The issue is that some icons (Discover, Gajim, Steam) pull their light/dark info from the “Colours” instead of the “Plasma Style”. So If you mix and match like I did (Breeze Twilight, i.e. Breeze Dark Plasma Style with Light Colours), then most icons will appear light due to the Dark Plasma Style, but some will be dark because they get their Light/Dark info from the Light Colours.

That information seems to be cached in ~/.cache/plasmashell/qmlcache/. When I delete that folder I get the broken icons. I f I use the cached folder from my desktop it’s fixed. I’m guessing some apps just are broken currently in that regard and I’m just “lucky”, that my desktop didn’t correctly flush the plasmashell cache
