I'm a bit two minds about Sacred 2, it is pretty fun ARPG and it sure doesn't shy away from vibrant colors, but on the other: it feels like a simplistic MMO from which all other players have already left, you're there alone to run vast distances to kill 10 red mountain beavers for someone, or fetch their family heirloom mcguffin or ...

I dunno, I do like when games have a lot of content, but the content is just MMO-tropey.

That said, now I want to reinstall it again, maybe I'll get a bit further.

yea I don't think adding a game to library will do anything on it's own. But there has been malware uploads to steam, so executing might not be safe.

Not saying this one here is malicious, but the "there's a hurry, get it, play it!!!" doesn't sit right with me :D

the material preview mode generally uses pretty neutral world texture for lighting (some foresty HDRI image).

is your scene set to use some blue world material (or blue texture in the material?), eg. using the sky texture node which is cranked to very high emission strength?

edit: or have you perhaps accidentally made your sun -lamp blue?

as the other commenter said, but worth echoing:

  • is it suddenly using npm to install/run something? (iirc this was the attack vector for most packages that were infected)
  • suddenly added some weird extra wget/curl/whatever to packaging methods to fetch something weird?
  • are the package's sources (eg. github urls) legit?

Generally you should be aware of who'se software you're installing -> check if it's downloading the stuff from right place, and nothing extra. The PKGBUILD changes in the aur website are pretty good indicator if something has changed and how.

edit: npm itself, or it's usage isn't bad - but it is quite suspicious if the AUR package isn't for some webapp or so.

The stupid thing about ai's seems to be that they are so confidently wrong/guessing when they don't have the slightest idea. Almost like they've been told to never say "I don't know".

The Ascent is pretty dope, hope the promised upcoming update fixes the coop progression

For those thinking about getting the game for coop: it works, but the same host must host the game every time, otherwise you'll just be starting the campaign from square 1 with your levels and gear.

flashbacks from a time when I alone was essentially the entire IT at work (small company, yay). Had to uninstall HP apps from a laptop, there were like ~50 of them and each of questionable purpose. Most of the uninstall attempts said "Error! Can't, because HP [other app] requires this"... Eventually, through trial and error, I managed to find the proper order to uninstall them all, and it took hours.

It would have been faster to just wipe & clean install windows, but user didn't want to setup all his stuff again so... :|

Anyway, the laptop was WAY more usable after uninstalling all that crap.

You're obviously using a wrong distro. Beatings will continue as planned.

I've ordered quite a bit from keygem (https://keygem.com/) and oblotzky (https://oblotzky.industries/), and a little from candykeys (apparently dead now). They tend to have mostly groupbuy sets, so full set availability can be rough after the runs.

https://www.gmk.net/shop/ / https://www.gmk.net/shop/en/keycaps/ has sets ready to go, while they're apparently pretty good quality, they do look a bit plain (imo) - but each to their own!

some more mainstream sets can be found from eg. maxgaming (see their country/region specific sites). At least over here (Finland) some smaller computer stuff stores sell keycap sets (glorious, ducky... etc), like jimms.fi - but I'm fairly certain those are awailable pretty much everywhere.
