I always had 4 fossilize_replay processes running when Shaders where being compiled. So I assume the default value is 4. I’ve created this file with a value of 12 now, to see if this makes a difference. Thank you both of you for posting and also copying the instructions to preserve them.

Maybe if you look at the games in isolation, maybe then? The problem for many (especially for testers) was the fatigue of massive Assassins Creed games with so many meaningless stuff added around an actual good game. And later things like microtransactions ruined the fun for lot of people too. And the later games even didn’t do anything particularly original or was very perfected games to stick out.
So therefore many testers didn’t “champion” the Assassins Creed games anymore. It had its fans, especially longtime players in the series. But those are not who decide if a game gets an award or what rating it has. So even if players like the games, that is disconnected from the testers of various outlets.

The thing is, not every Ubisoft published games has these requirements (according to the Steam page, this is not an exhaustive list):
- South Park™: The Stick of Truth™
- The Rogue Prince of Persia
- Assassin’s Creed™: Director’s Cut Edition
- Prince of Persia®: The Sands of Time
- Brawlhalla (but has Kernel level anticheat, works on Steam Deck)
- ATOMEGA
But that’s mostly old titles or not developed at the core Ubisoft teams. It is safe to just block Ubisoft, but wanted to point out, here and there are a few little games that do not have this bullshit. I’ve gun through their catalog a bit, and its depressing.

One of the reasons why I don’t buy Ubisoft games that require their accounts or software; and that is most of them. There are couple of games for 2.99 Euros up to 6.99 I would have purchased, but, because of this, I don’t even pay a few bucks.

For which year? After the few Assassins Creed games, they were similar in gameplay, so not really worthy of GOTY for most. Not every good or popular game can win an award. The best chance of winning could have II, Brotherhood or Black Flag. I’ve looked at best rated games of the year for those games on Metacritic (I could not find a way to sort lists on OpenCritic).
Assassins Creed 2 (2009) - 90:
- Uncharted 2 - 96
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare - 94
- GTA China Town - 93
Assassins Creed Brotherhood (2010): 89
- Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 98
- Mass Effect 2 - 96
- Red Dead Redemption - 95
Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag (2013): 88
- Last of Us - 95
- BioShock Infinite - 94
- Super Mario 3D World - 93
The Assassins Creed games are fun, but not a juggernaut in gameplay or otherwise. They were never these massive perfected games, standing out as the pillar of gaming. If you have competition like Uncharted 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Last of Us, and come with the same formula again, then you can’t expect to win awards for being the best game of the year.

I don’t think Copilot will be able to help me track down system resources… on Linux. I use Arch*, BTW.

I think we weren’t talking about the exact same thing. It got convoluted already, so maybe we just move on. :D
- thingsiplay@lemmy.mltoGames@lemmy.world•Why are digital game storefronts region locked?English1·1 day ago
Yes and no. As in, if this its true, then the poster is in a situation where he or she would not clarify. Because its a question. From their perspective. If the poster would know and clarify these things, then my theory would be wrong. So I cannot be right and the poster clarifying at the same time. That’s the “paradox” here you ask.
But whatever. I just tried to help understanding.

Please don’t. I hate if the original question gets deleted after discussion and answering.
- thingsiplay@lemmy.mltoGames@lemmy.world•Why are digital game storefronts region locked?English2·1 day ago
Well that is just a thought process. Its like explaining and then asking: “Is it correct what I am thinking.” That also shows the person is thinking this through, but is unsure if this is correct and needs validation or correction. It always sounds funny if someone asking answers it themselves in the same question. But as explained, it makes sense from the view of the poster.

Regional prices. To not abuse regional prices, and to make it work, they have to lock it. Otherwise some regions would have extremely expensive games. But because they could not afford the games otherwise, the regional prices takes this into account and sell the games for cheaper in those regions. If everyone outside the world could buy there, they would. Then it would be pointless for the publisher, because the cheapest price is then the normal price.
So regional prices is not here to make it expensive for you, but more like make it affordable for those, who wouldn’t otherwise able to buy. At least that’s the idea as far as I understand.

The current implementation is not really “horrendous”. It works well enough that its a net positive. Even with its flaws (because no law is perfect), I think we are better off with these Copyright laws around the world than without it. I never found anyone giving an example what could be done better; people just say its bad. In example, what specifically is so horrendous about the current “implementation” of Copyright? And how would it be better?

My reply to these replies here about Copyright being a bad idea (besides that Nintendo never pursued a Copyright claim with Palworld)…
I think Copyright is important to preserve rights. Without Copyright, we couldn’t have Open Source licenses like GPL. And the industry wants to sell products ideally not pirated, to make profit. Which is not a bad thing, because that encourages competition. Now that does not mean there are no loopholes and evil companies (and individuals) wouldn’t abuse it. But that does not mean that the entire idea of Copyright is bad or “bullshit”.
- thingsiplay@lemmy.mltoGaming@lemmy.ml•After years of Nintendo lawsuits and many millions of sales, Pokémon baiter Palworld is out in 1.0 today4·1 day ago
Not really. Palworld isn’t infringing any copyright. Nintendo was not pursuing copyright infringement, but patent infringement for gameplay mechanics.

And on the eve of Spider-Man, it was like: we should just put a ring on it - we’ve been dating for 20 years.
Lol, never seen it like this. They were dating and making babies for 20 years. And then got married.
On the other side, we have Microsoft with a big harem, but uncapable of doing babies with most of them, abortion, mistreatment, replacement with robots.

XBOX hire this man. Edit: Actually this was a joke reply. I don’t think it would even work, because of the possibility sharing Playstation secrets from a direct competitor? Layden and Microsoft would be under constant eyes for this alone. And if something happens, both would be under fire for a possible secret sharing. I don’t think either of them wants this. Besides this, I don’t think Layden wants to do the same job again.

I don’t know how you can compare the AUR to this situation. With the AUR, if you know what you are doing, then you can check the script yourself. You don’t have to trust in good faith.
Just a scam. And this is a spam post to market this scam.
Its expected that the Switch 2 will increase in price and then on top of it, the OLED edition will be even more expensive probably. In todays day and age, holding off in hope of better deal or hardware is no longer the best default option. Unless you really want an OLED, then there is no other way than waiting.
