  • Yeah, I still enjoyed Fable 3 for what it was, but they definitely dropped the ball on so so many things that made me love Fable 2 the most out of the franchise.

    That hand holding crap was a semi neat idea, but they overused it for quite a lot of things that didn’t necessitate that mechanic. Helping the little girl out of the cave was a good use for it, and leading your love interest in the beginning, and then helping your right hand man (I forget his name at the moment) when he was blind. Other than that, why? :P







  • Sometimes, I feel like the average Linux user is just on very old or at the very least pretty old hardware.

    I know I am probably wrong, but it just seems odd that in X11 my 8 year old ultrawide 144hz 1080p monitor is literally a stuttery and jittery mess when moving windows, when animations play, and even moving the cursor around. I believe I tried playing a game, and it also being a stuttery mess, but I can’t remember as that was around 6-7 months ago.

    Using Wayland, on the other hand, as soon as I logged in for the first time it was definitely noticeably NOT like it was in X11. Frame rate was 144hz, everything mentioned above just worked as I would expect. It even feels smoother than Windows which I still have to use every now and then. Gaming on it is a blast 99% of the time, and I game A LOT! (completed ~10 games on openSUSE Tumbleweed just this year!)

    So, sometimes I just feel like I said, and as I also said, I’m probably wrong. I have never logged back into X11 except when I upgraded my graphics card a month or so ago because of the stuttery feeling of X11. Some things did work better under X11, I guess, but that is probably because of the stagnant adoption of Wayland?

    Besides me using Linux since the beginning of this year until now, I am still a Linux noob, so my opinions are just that. I have no real knowledge of Linux that would qualify me to be any good source of info. I just don’t get the slow adoption is all!
