Hey, give me a little credit…

I’ve managed to misrepresent two sides of an argument in this one.

!

Seconding this. And as another lemming said, moving a working setup from a Windows system can make your life easier. But once you have MO2 running, most mods can just be installed in it like normal. Though SteamOS makes it more trouble than its with to auto download mods via mod manager. Easier just to use the manual download option and then manually install it. (I set my MO2 downloads folder to be ~/Downloads to make my lifer easier on this)

Also, there is a Linux specific version of the 4GB patch. You have to make it executable and run it in the terminal to actually get it to patch.

You can run things like the BSA decompressor using proton tricks.

Or you can just run the 4GB patch and the BSA decompressor on a windows install and then copy the whole FNV folder over to your deck (overwriting files). That works too.

If you are a TTW kind of guy, do that on Windows, making it an installable mod, and then just copy that over. And do it before the BSA decompressor, or you will need to make a clean install of FNV.

Honestly, if you install MO2 using the link Headbangerd17 linked above, you can pretty much just follow the Viva New Vegas gude. Just use protontricks for the BSA decompressor and the Ultimate ESM fixes things, and the linux specific 4gb patch. Or again, do all of it on Windows and copy over the game folder and the MO2 folder.

P.S. Its possible to get a complete setup on the deck alone, but if you go that route, it will save a lot of time to plug in a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Or pair it to your work computer via SteamLink and do it while you’re supposed to be working.

P.P.S xLODGen can be added to MO2 and run on Linux just like it can on Windows. Though the SteamDeck does take a long time to actually generate LOD, so best to do it in chunks to make sure it looks good. It’s really sad when all the rocks look like stretched buildings after you waited for all worldspaces to generate. Trust me.

I dunno Yogi. I get that you are cool with jokes about trump and religion, but you immediately came to the defense of “dark humor” mfers. Seems like even you have your sacred cows.

naw man, I’m just fucking with you. I knew what you meant.

Dark humor mfers: “Everything is fair to joke about, race, gender, orientation, disabilities, everything”

Someone: makes joke about dark humor mfers

Dark humor mfers: “Now you’ve gone too far!”

Better to look the fool than open your mouth and prove everyone right

No! Always make assumptions! They make conversations faster!

Comparison mostly. HD and 3D isn’t impressing you by virtue of it being superior to real life (it isn’t after all), it’s impressing you compared to other examples of the same thing done “worse”. The best portrait artist in the world can not make something look more “real” than the reference material, but it can compared to other attempts at painting.

This is true in other natural things as well. For example, a really big tree surrounded by smaller similar sized trees feels “really impressive” compared to a mountain surrounded by other… similar sized mountains. Or why a particularly colorful plant seems impressive surrounded by a bunch of green and brown plants.

On the other hand, things like OLED screens can be impressive compared to the natural world due to their ability to arrange and display colors rarely found in nature.

What’s updog?

Their not worried about it

This comment is beautiful. It manages to admonish another for a concept it in of itself can not grasp.

It’s just a waste of energy on the part of the animators.

Bashing, no. Saying their effort to pursue their art is a “waste of energy” because it won’t be appreciated, yes.

Nobody thought it looked “realistic”. But it was insane how fast the technology was improving. They weren’t comparing it to reality, they were comparing it to games of just a year before.

And honestly, it was really impressive to see.

Weird, seems like we had the opposite experience. On my home network SteamLink is usually about 30-40ms for me, where Moonlight is around 10ms.

Remotely SteamLink is usually about 50ms higher than Moonlight.

This is true when connecting to my Windows and Linux machines.

Well, I’d contest that, but my opinion on the topic isn’t really that strong.

Well you see, when a capitalist and a politician love eachother money very much, they engage in an act of love collusion. This gets both of them very much money. So much in fact, that they couldn’t possibly hold on to all of it. And the money that falls out of their pocket trickles down to every one! Thus, products are improved, and everyone gets their needs met!

This is the free market in action, and anyone who disagrees is a dirty Commie!

I wish I had opinions as strong as this.

But in the end, they’d really only be cheating themselves.

Not if you want to apply the “we are not the same meme” format. That… Like a sith… Only deals in absolutes.
