Today I played the "WORST GAMES OF ALL TIME" only to discover many of them are are actually really good!

@St1ka Quest 64 is really flawed compared to most PS1/Saturn JRPGs though, not just FF7. Grandia, Lunar, and others all vastly out pace it and have much more interesting combat systems (Grandia's for instance is excellent, even if the story is mid but enjoyable.)

I do think the game gets more hate than it deserves, but the mana system alone is underbaked and while combat is interesting, it fails to provide a mix of options per turn.

@kern @kissane If they were it was delusional. I signed up for a mozilla.social invite quite early but they never got around to me during the invite waves, so they clearly haven't been able to keep up with the demand they had at their original staff size. I'm not sure how downsizing is going to help them, outside of maybe just focusing on their own staff / product pages in the near future.

Hmm... So now I can get AMD HIP to work with blender but some materials that uses a normal map seems to be glitched out rendering black with blue/green distortion. Doesn't seem to happen to all my files so perhaps there's something wrong w/ my materials.

The crashing is absolutely bonkers though. Seems to be a 1/5 chance that GPU compute rendering causes a crash. #b3d #amd

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@bitinn Yeah, I'll do that. Additionally I see https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/109417 and another user here pointed to a thread that says that having 2 graphics devices at use at the same time is unsupported. I'm more surprised that my AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor has a graphics processor though -- I never knew it had integrated graphics.

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@bitinn Yeah, I'll give that a shot. Otherwise I'll reopen an existing issue.

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@bitinn Bah, it almost worked. I could get rocm to ignore my integrated graphics with ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES but cannot get it to stick in blender. Blender will simply show me no graphics cards compatible with HIP. I'm asking in the support chat and maybe promoting it to a bug if nobody seems to have a clue.

Thanks for the help though. :)

Capcom delists two Devil May Cry games from Steam
Looks like Capcom delisted two DMC games off Steam today. Fortunately they’re still available if you buy the HD Bundle and special edition respectively. Still buy physical when you can. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #mastodongaming

@nsonic79 Well, at least with steam you'll continue to have access to the games you bought even if they're delisted.

@nsonic79 Nice! I agree, I've been spending some money just buying blu-rays before they're impossible to find so I totally get what you mean.

Anyone have any luck with AMD HIP and Blender?

I can't help but feel like it should be running better than my CPU in cycles renders (seems to get the same time as my CPU of 48 seconds on medium-detail render) but it isn't. I'm borrowing my brother's RX 6650 XT just to test blender performance with the card and it's seemingly.... mid? #b3d #blender3d #3d

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

I also seem to have instability on my system where it occasionally crashes when starting a cycles load. That on top of the lack of performance gains is definitely a bit underwhelming to say the least...

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

Not that I was expecting too much from a RX 6650 XT but now I want to know if others on the higher end (7800 XT and above) have had any luck at all with AMD HIP and if it's worth considering or not compared to NVidia's CUDA (on linux specifically, I know on Windows that most users would simply say CUDA is better.)

@danil That's a real bummer. I would have hoped the state of GPGPU for ray tracing and rendering would at least be figured out by now. Well, this gives me some information on future graphics card purchases I suppose.

Looking into nixos for the first time is kind of crazy. It seems really easy to get lost in configuration files. For example, it seems like you can enable services without having them installed? (whoops, lol)

I do like how each version is accessible from systemd.boot though -- that's definitely neat.

Alright, . Let's see if this controller holds up better than Logitech.

@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@vwbusguy Love the 8bitdo pro 2. I did have to go into the firmware to adjust the deadzones on mine and I think the vibration might be a bit "hot" on the default profile.

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@vwbusguy I think it was 8bitdo ultimate software iirc. I just remember having to boot into windows during my tears of the kingdom session to adjust the deadzones a smidge, I felt they were too "tight" on the center leading to accidental right or left movements.

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@vwbusguy It should preserve these settings on the hardware level though.

eoinoneill,
@eoinoneill@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@vwbusguy It might be possible to do it with Wine, I just wasn't feeling so bold haha. I can test it on mine and see how it goes.

Ultimately I don't think you'll have to though -- I got a decent amount of wear into mine before I noticed it but I thought I'd share anyway.

@jamiemccarthy @okko @Quinnypig To be fair, it is relatively interesting for smoking percentage to increase after so many years of decline -- even if it's a very small percentage.
