They get around the Windows KLAC as well, so it doesn't make sense to me for dev houses to require it. Cheaters, almost by definition, find a way to circumvent blocks, and I don't think that justifies my being required to install a rootkit on my system.

I guess it depends on what your use case might be. I have heard that Manjaro is decent for a desktop Arch experience, but I have yet to try it.

My use case recently was for a living-room PC that works like a console version of the Steam Deck. For that purpose, ChimeraOS works really well. It's an Arch-based distro that uses the Steam Deck controller-first interface and so far is handling almost everything I've thrown at it. It even has a remote admin app where you can install games from GOG or Epic (although GOG support only installs the base game at the moment, no DLC or updates) or upload console ROMs for emulation.

I would say if you go this route, get a PS4/PS5 controller. The touch space is recognized as a mouse, which removes the need to attach a mouse for those moments when you need to get into the desktop (such as formatting a secondary drive for use in Steam).

I'm guessing the damage is lower due to the persistent damage and the fact that spirit damage can take effect if the target has fire resistance/immunity.

Spirit damage is a new damage type that replaces the law/chaos alignment damage. There was also a leaked sidebar from Rage of Elements which has the following:

Vitality and void replace positive and negative traits and damage.

I presume this is due to positive/negative being OGL terms.

 

This is a dropped spell from a recent Paizo twitch stream. Thought the community here might want to see and comment if they haven't already.

That does seem odd. It doesn't have to be a "console" distro like ChimeraOS, but maybe an Arch derivative like Manjaro would have been more appropriate. (I don't know many gaming-focused distros tbh)

I feel like there would be a speed penalty for being large and that possibly they might remove reach as a benefit of Large for those ancestries. But I have no idea how close my thoughts are to what they would do.

I wouldn't mind seeing Shattered Star or Mummy's Mask updated for PF2E/Lost Omens. They were fun when I played them years ago.

Our group uses HeroLab Online, and most of us bring laptops to the table.

I've tried a tablet before, but it's difficult to switch tasks especially when you have to do anything other than focus on the character sheet - like now, I'm manning the Kingmaker map to notate where we've been and what we've run into and I don't think I could do that effectively on a tablet.

Here are the ones I found today when I signed up on lemmy.world:

I'm gaming on a NUC 11 Extreme kit with a Sapphire Pulse Radeon 6700 XT running ChimeraOS.

Currently it is doing really well, though some games appear to not be using anti-aliasing and I'm not sure why. But aside from that I am super impressed with how well Proton and Lutris have come along!
