FUCK.
Anyway, here's the thread I would have made on Friday night if someone hadn't made a mid-week thread that survived until this morning. Enjoy the OC and please notice that Tux's face has the correct pixel aspect ratio etc.; it took me over 9000 hours in GIMP. My only regret is that, in choosing a lighter background color for the face box in order to get some contrast against Tux's bald-ass head, I didn't ensure that it was from Doom's actual color palette.
Here's my previous masterpiece.

Could have also used this version of Tux's face.

What the fuck I took a little nap after bumping and thread died. WTF is happening on this board?

I kinda hate this boss. It's not so hard with good tarot cards but it's still boring.

After beating this I'm going to play old games

amdgpu start crashing on mesa-git so I reverted to mesa stable

That's a pretty tall skelly

I really like how snappy alt-tabbing to and from fullscreen games on Kwin wayland is compared to windows and x11

Well, that's done. I don't know if I've ever played the entire game on Nightmare; I usually just play up to Prison to get the tarot card that I missed on Insomnia, and then go to Trauma for the Forest level which is going to be a pain in the ass.

>>535610082
Nice. I see you was playing on old ass proton version. It was a complete pita for me to get this running on modern protons.

>ffmpeg has a "-vf cropdetect" option to determine cropping size based on black bars
>but it just poops out the optimal crop argument instead of automatically doing another pass to apply it
Damn. I waited for that shit and then had to run it again. I should have known better though. Next time I'll just try harder to remember to change the recording resolution in OBS before playing a game in 4:3. I think recording at 1600x1200 works, although recording in 1920x1080 for 16:9 games will result in a 1920x1088 video padded with green shit. (Someone in an old thread said the bug happens when the height isn't divisible by 16 or when the width isn't divisible by 64. Absolutely hilarious that the most common screen resolution is affected by this issue and I dodged it by having a 16:10 monitor. I'm sure it's also fixed by updooting some package, but I'm on GNU/Mint and I don't really care enough about a thing that only affects my ability to avoid recording a 16:9 game's letterbox.)
Is there, by any chance, a way for scrot (or any other command) to auto-detect black bars for a screenshot? Having to run two commands isn't a problem there, because I already use a script for screenshots instead of calling scrot directly. I bet I could do it with ImageMagick after the screenshot is saved, but last time I used ImageMagick to crop screenshots, it seemed to affect the image brightness or color depth somehow, so I stopped doing it. I opened >>535587907 in GIMP to crop it (and then immediately regretted it because I suck at GIMP but followed through anyway).

This game's got some really cool enemy designs... and some really fucking stupid ones.
>>535612356
Last time I tried running Painkiller with the latest Proton, it just didn't fill the screen. I probably could have fixed it with gamescope, but I prefer to use old-ass stuff when it Just Works™.

small little fuckers

and a big faggot too

>>535614976
>last time I used ImageMagick to crop screenshots, it seemed to affect the image brightness or color depth somehow
Damn, you know what? I think it's actually just Linux Mint's image viewer (xviewer) being stupid. I tried cropping one with
>convert -extent 1600x1200 -gravity center whatever.png whatever.crop.png
and yes, the cropped one did appear slightly darker as I flipped between the two images in xviewer, but the cropped and uncropped images look the same to me in GIMP and even in Firefox. Moreover, both images in Firefox look the same as the cropped one looks in xviewer, so darker is correct.
I had noticed xviewer was displaying images differently in this old /lgg/ thread when I was playing Enclave, but by this time I had forgotten about the apparent issue with ImageMagick-cropped images, and didn't think to go back and check if xviewer was just showing the uncropped images as too bright.
I don't know shit about image processing, but I guess raw screenshots are saved with some parameters that make xviewer not display them with exactly the right colors/brightness, and passing through ImageMagick "fixes" this somehow.
So I guess I'll go back to using ImageMagick to crop my letterboxed/pillarboxed images with no worries. I haven't searched for a way to autodetect the black bars though.

>>535619237
It was in this even older thread that I noticed what I thought was ImageMagick fucking up my cropped screenshots, and spent some time trying to understand it before giving up. I just repeated that post's experiment with cropping a screenshot of the Doom II title screen, and again the images look different in xviewer, but they look the same in Firefox as far as I can tell. Neither image actually looks identical in xviewer to the way Firefox displays them, but the cropped one is closer.
Anyway, this is all very interesting to me but ImageMagick isn't a video game so I'll shut up.

>>535619237
>I haven't searched for a way to autodetect the black bars though.
Well damn, that was easy.
I just ran
>mogrify -bordercolor black -trim
on >>535608905 and got this.
I suppose this might fail if an entire side of the image has perfectly black pixels beyond the edge of the pillarboxing, though. I might get some funky screenshot sizes in really dark games if I add this post-processing to my screenshot script.

Fuck off, physics engine.

Aside from the obvious differences in resolution, modification time, etc., exiftool printed
>Significant Bits : 8 8 8
about this image before cropping as in >>535621685 and instead prints
>White Point X : 0.3127
>White Point Y : 0.329
>Red X : 0.64
>Red Y : 0.33
>Green X : 0.3
>Green Y : 0.6
>Blue X : 0.15
>Blue Y : 0.06
>Background Color : 255 255 255
afterwards, so it is saving it differently than a raw screenshot, which isn't really surprising. Not that I really understand any of these numbers.

It used to work just fine, not sure what's happened

>>535621685
>>mogrify -bordercolor black -trim
I saw this in some StackOverflow thread but I think it's a bit wrong. The -trim option doesn't use the -bordercolor argument to decide what color to trim; it seems to trim any solid-color edges even if they're not black.
But adding a 1-pixel black border before trimming
>mogrify -bordercolor black -border 1 -trim
does seem to ensure that only black is trimmed.
Soon I will be photoshopping Tux into funny pictures entirely on the command line but for now I am satisfied with my script being able to crop screenshots without mangling them.

Not that this is a particularly realistic glass-breaking effect, but it's pretty cool regardless.

>>535651635
Lost technology...

I suppose I'm done over-engineering my screenshot script for tonight. In addition to naming the screenshot based on the window name as reported by `xdotool getwindowname` (which one might assume is the same as, but for some reason differs from and in my opinion is better than, what `scrot` natively supports by using $W in the output filename), the screenshot script now calls my new image trimmer script which (conditionally) uses `mogrify -bordercolor black -trim` to trim the black bars away. So now I can just take a screenshot and get this, with no manual cropping. The `mogrify` command does take about half a second to run, but I don't mind as long as it's not hitting the CPU hard enough to make games stutter every time I take a screenshot or something. (Maybe I'll add a call to `cpulimit` if it does. Post-processing of screenshots can be slow as fuck for all I care.)
Also: damn it, I forgot that Battle Out Of Hell also has a Nightmare-only level.

I'm not a big AI slop user, but I've always had bad luck at learning ImageMagick from StackOverflow posts etc., so I asked GPT-4o mini (via Duck.ai) how to check if cropping needs to be done before actually running `mogrify`. It told me that a `convert -trim ... -format '%wx%h' info:` would simulate the trimming and output the size without writing to disk, and suggested using `identify` to compare to the original size. Running three ImageMagick commands instead of one feels like it can't be the most efficient way, but it seems to work.
So my trimming script actually does the
>`mogrify -bordercolor black -trim "${img}"`
only if the trimmed size as reported by
>`convert -bordercolor black -border 1 -trim "${img}" -format '%wx%h' info:`
and the original image size reported by
>`identify -ping -format '%wx%h' "${img}"`
don't match. That last thing will tend to be my screen resolution unless I'm running a game in windowed mode which I rarely do, but whatever; `identify` is fast. Meanwhile, although `convert` is generally just `mogrify` but to a new file, the `convert ... info:` command to predict the trimmed size is sufficiently faster than `mogrify` that I'm satisfied it's not doing double work (or maybe it's only that much faster because the file writing is skipped but whatever).
For now (although I should come up with a better solution for this), I also skip the `mogrify` if the predicted trimmed size is neither 1920x1080 or 1600x1200, because those are the only valid results for the use cases I have right now. This makes it not attempt to trim screenshots where I've left the MangoHud overlay hanging into the black area, so the attached screenshot was left alone. Otherwise it would have been trimmed to 1750x1200 which would look weird and stupid.
By the way, I know markdown doesn't work on 4chan, but I'm used to putting code between backticks and I refuse to stop.

>>535658145
>`mogrify -bordercolor black -trim`
There I go typing the wrong command again.
It actually needs to be
>`convert -bordercolor black -border 1 -trim`
to avoid trimming other colors per >>535645042.
Just an excuse to bump one more time before bed though.
Here's an older screenshot that I just ran through the trimmer script which I kept separate from the screenshot script for this purpose.

>can't sleep
>open /lgg/ on phone
>scroll past >>535660618
>>`mogrify -bordercolor black -trim "${img}"`
For fuck's sake, I have it wrong there too despite copying directly from the script where I thought I had already fixed it to be
>>`mogrify -bordercolor black -border 1 -trim "${img}"`
after posting >>535645042. Maybe I had closed it without saving. And then I accidentally typed "convert" instead of "mogrify" when correcting myself in >>535661303 (although the convert command does need the same arguments). This is going to be really confusing when I look up this thread in the archive in two years for reference after accidentally deleting my shell scripts or some dumb bullshit.

I hate gatcha games but the girls are fucking hot

>>535660618
>check if cropping needs to be done before actually running `mogrify`
Do you need to do that? If you run -trim on an image that doesn't need trimming, it should do nothing I think.

>>535582543 (OP)

>>535692160
>is there any way to play Champions of Norrath on linux?
Yeah, by starting up your PCSX2 emulator.

>>535690378
fuck that's annoying, disblaed it too

>>535678084
I'm pretty sure it was still writing a file when I tried it, so even in the nominal "do nothing" case, the file timestamp (and even checksum) still changed.
It may be the case that JUST running `mogrify -trim` does nothing to a file that needs no trimming whereas `mogrify -bordercolor black -border 1 -trim` (adding a black border and then trimming to ensure only black bars are trimmed) forces it to change the file (even if the end result may be visually the same).
Unfortunately just `mogrify -trim` isn't totally safe for removing just black bars, as it will trim away any single solid color it finds around the outside of an image.

>>535692160
Install PCSX2 from your distros package manager, flatpak, appimage or whatever the PCSX2 website recommends. Setup for the emulator is the same as Windows.

Thinking of making the transition to Linux, can anyone confirm whether or not solutions like _inmm.dll and winmm.dll work for restoring Red Book Audio in older games that used it?

>>535717964
I used inmm for Mamatoto, just install it into the prefix the same way you do on windows.

Wine/proton won't automatically load it, you'll have to use WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winmm=n,b %command% in the game's launch options if it's a game on Steam, remove the %command% you're using wine or another launcher like Lutris ect.
>WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winmm=n,b wine start /unix /path/to/game.exe
As an example if you're launching it from the terminal, you can also make that into a .desktop file which is basically a shortcut to launch the game like on Windows.

Cute game. I think my kids are going to like this.
Bye-bye doggie, lmao

It seems the developer of this game had an oopsie-poopsie with case sensitivity. All of the actual prefs/save files are in "Hidden In My Paradise", while the steam_autocloud.vdf files are in "Hidden in my Paradise". This is probably breaking the Steam Cloud sync (and indeed I see that I have 0 bytes in the cloud), and I'm almost certain that just replacing the "Hidden in my Paradise" folder with a symbolic link to the other would fix it.

Yup, that fixed it. I meant to include a screenshot of the folders with the previous post and forgot, so here it is with the fix.
Deleted the folder with the autocloud files (because Steam just remakes those anyway), linked the deleted folder name to the other folder, launched the game, and quit. The Steam Cloud isn't empty anymore.
I've had to do shit like this for a handful of native Linux games. I figure most people who play these games and notice the lack of cloud saves just say "oh no, another broken port, native games suck" and use Proton. In fact the game itself is bug-free as far as I can tell, and the Steam Cloud configuration is wrong.

Well, anyway, cute game.
I'm sure I didn't need to be this precise with the camera.

I forgot to rename that last webm, and I suppose phone posters can't even see the filename on the webm before that, so I'll just point out that all four of the preceding posts are about the same game (Hidden in my Paradise). Not my usual kind of game, but I got it from a bundle (Cozy Games Bundle on Fanatical) so it was cheap enough.
Oh, I forgot:
>game has a gacha machine
lol. Now we're truly a /vg/ thread.
At least it doesn't want real money.

Looks like it unlocks objects to place in sandbox mode...? I guess that's cool. I mean, I knew it wasn't going to unlock slutty outfits for anime girls.

steam controller 2 fucking when

>>535988000
Firstly, checked.
Secondly, I saw a shitpost thread about this on /v/. Is it an actual thing or just rumors? I notice everyone's calling it a "console" by the way, which I assume is just words not having meaning anymore. If it runs Steam games then it's a PC, as far as I'm concerned. If every pre-built PC is a console then I'm pretty sure my family got a Dell console from Best Buy once. Or maybe the mainstream thinks Linux makes it a console? In that case I built my own console. How silly.

>>535999671
Yeah that is how you market it to nirmies, or say convenience of a console with capabilities of a PC or something stupid like that and people on xitter will suck Valve off

anyone playing the dow definitive edition?

>>535999671
Fair enough. To me (and I always assumed people who actually play video games generally agree with this), "console" has always meant a single-purpose computer that needs games to be released for it specifically. An Xbox™ console runs Xbox™™ games, a PlayStation™™™ console runs PlayStation™™™™ games, etc.; none of them run PC games. You could flip that around and say PCs "only" run PC games, but it's not PC™™™™™ games because "PC" isn't a specific model exclusively controlled by one company. If Valve made some Fremont machine that only runs Fremont games then it would be a console. Likewise, calling Steam Deck a handheld console doesn't make much sense unless you (1) believe it runs only "verified" games and (2) misunderstand what that "verified" marking means in the first place. But calling Steam Deck a console is less dumb because handheld devices always were consoles traditionally.

I love this rusty piece of shit. I should try playing GU online more.

How do I know a game I want to play isn't loaded with viruses?
This one confuses me a lot.
15 out of 72 flagged on virus total, yet setup screen appears to work and be the one that the game would have. The files too, are weirdly named (e.g. "lunch.exe") and there's another folder inside of this one and then a subfolder with the name of the game inside that.
Elsewhere I've been called an idiot and technologically illiterate for using virustotal and they explained how a lot of them were under the 'generic AI' category.

How can I test the game out safely? I tried a windows virtual machine through virt-manager with qemu, but 'lunch.exe' simply refused to 'launch' in there.

there's not much to really 'will' here, is there?
Are you just gonna rub your penis on that wooden surface and get splinters?

Install vesktop and change the icon for it

>"I am going to address all of the common problems people have with gaming linux"
wonderful! I have been waiting for any youtuber who uses linux to acknowledge certain problems and don't just hand wave them with a superiority complex like mental outlaw does.
>"Well to be honest kernal anti-cheat is not allowed to run on linux and it sucks anyway. Even certain games work against each other"
true that is a major reason a lot of people don't game on linux. they simply aren't allowed to play the games they want because of shitty anti-cheats.
>"I can try to fight with these companies to allow my favorite games to exclude linux users but it is too much work"
lol. you ain't fighting shit. no gaming company gives a fuck if mutahar begs them to change shit and will only do it under their own whim.
>"but I just don't play those games anymore because of that. In fact I don't even want to. I much prefer most single player and indie games anyway"
cope. even if it isn't cope this is useless to anyone who actually wants to play those games.
>"a lot of games just don't run as well on linux as they do on windows"
FINALLY someone fucking said it
>"this is because people are running the wrong distro. you are all running linux mint and popos instead of muh arch"
fucking retard. you ever figure that maybe it is because you are running programs indirectly through code wrappers and doing a bunch of workarounds for proprietary shit that linux doesn't have?
>"well most games run on windows out of the box anyway"
wrong. a lot of games on steam run out of the box on linux thanks to proton-ge. the difference is that there ge have proprietary codecs that proton experimental doesn't. which you have to install separately. plus on things not on steam you have to use something like lutris or wine which is again, a work around that costs performance and that is if it even works at all.
how about address what actually fucking matters like the fact that most shit can't be ran natively on linux?

>>536034690
>>"this is because people are running the wrong distro. you are all running linux mint and popos instead of muh arch"
No way he said that.
I dual boot Mint and Arch and the performance in practically identical between the two, even thought Mint usually have older packages and kernels.

>>536033259
I've tried Vesktop and Equibop, both are fucked as of lately for whatever reason

We're never getting native support

8:47

does anybody have any tips on running EU4 on Linux? I'm not sure if something happened since the last time i played the game, but it's noticeably slower than Windows now.

>>536037532
I watched for 10 minutes from 8:47 onwards and at no point he said anything remotely similar to "you are all running linux mint and popos instead of muh arch". If I missed it, please point out the exact timestamp.

>>536038975
>"now there is a couple of things that make me question why this happened to me. and the thing about it is obviously one of the big problems with things like linux is that and this is an issue I have talked about ever since i discussed linux, is that there is a lot of different like flavors that you can get access to. downloading linux is like going to a fucking icecream shop okay. when you go to an icecream shop there is usually like three flavors that are goated. you've got chocolate, you've got vanilla, you've got strawberry okay. and I want you to look at that similar to like the parent distros of linux. things like debian. like arch. you know parent you know distros. everything that disseminates from them is a goofy flavor. Some of them are good. some of them are actually dogshit. So again going to distro watch, which is not a site i totally recommend but you can see on these hit rankings, this is one of the most schizophrenic charts in history that i have seen. I swear every fucking year this list changes pretty dramatically so if you look at things like arch linux which is basically like what the vegans of linux are, that is number 48 on this list okay. generally at the top there are things like catchyOS which is apparently better for linux gaming than Basite. And I didn't even really know about this but until, of course, very recently, like a few months ago, really. There's also Mint, which is what I use, and I highly recommend because it's the most simplest shit to run. I never really tell people, go get a gaming version of Linux, okay?"

>>536038975
>>536040548
in case your reading comprehension is as shit as you think yours is let me paraphrase. basically when confronted with the problem of
>"things run worse on linux"
his response is
"well there are different types of distros. you got this big list which includes stuff like arch linux at the very bottom of popularity and then you got catchyos which i heard is better for gaming but i personally use linux mint despite it not being very good for gaming because it is just easy to use."
which implies that the solution to the framerate drops is just to use a different distro

>>535989643
What are you talking about?

>>536040548
>>536040982
So you made shit up, and when confronted, tried to strawman your way out of it by not proving the proper timestamp? Ok, got it.

8:47 - 11:29
he then goes into the fact that linux mint is just recommended by him because it is easy to use, not necessarily that it is good for gaming which he implies is why you see framerate drops. Again this is all in response to Jay's graph that showed that linux's performance is worse than windows.

>>536041603

here is the graph in all of it's glory btw

Kid, next time just don't make false claims. This is embarrassing.

>>536042607
>gets provided a claim by muta that certain distros like brazzite heavily impacts performance and that linux mint is only recommended because it is easy and not because framerates are good for gaming. implying the solution to framerate issues is to use other distros

stop coping. india man is not going to pay you

>mesa 25.2.1 out
any moment now for arch and other distros

>>536048832
what's 25.2.1 bring

>>536049398
Bug fixes and a release that distros will use

My kid played some Crazy Taxi today:

>laughs hysterically at the pedestrians screaming
>drives around underwater

>doesn't care
Pretty based desu.
Also, reminder to use SilentPatch to fix analog controls if you play the otherwise horrible Steam version. The patch just needs a DLL override, if I remember correctly.

>>536048832
I'm using mesa-git 25.3.0 THOUGH.
