I tried to use Proton for steam games, baked right in, shouldn’t have many issues right? I’d still encounter games that just didn’t work or had catastrophic bugs. Games that use kernals level anticheat are just not possible without emulation, I couldn’t find low latency emulation, it was… A trial in futility for me. The more I tried to make Linux work the more I had to ask myself why I couldn’t just rip out the windows bloat and use it instead. I thought I was a Windows power user and it would translate to Linux, I was mistaken. I’ve taken for granted how universal Windows is and I have a respect for people willing to beat Linux into submission.

I finally tried Linux. Tried three different Distros meant for beginners and it couldn’t do the one thing I do most better than Windows. Gaming. Too many programs or overlay tools are Windows only. Compatibility programs rarely worked. Wine laughed in my face. Some Linux tools were also only compatible with other kernals.

I made the switch to have more control and felt like I left one series of cages for another.

If I ever get through a Trump tweet and can follow the logic, it’s not him writing it

AMD have the right idea in trying to target the value to performance crowd. People that want every dollar to count. You get diminishing returns the higher you reach and that’s the biggest drawback to Nvidia. The abysmal value.

But I hate Nvidia from a moral perspective as well. Proprietary software, paying game developers to use that software, inflated claims that their hardware will play those games better because of that software, then convincing the average public they just have a superior product when all they’re really good at is what amounts to bribes.

Ryzen has been more effective than RX because Intel had zero ability to respond and still doesn’t. They went to make GPUs because they couldn’t break the wall for CPUs. Before AMD crawled out of the grave, Nvidia and Intel had a full blown market monopoly. Inescapable.

I’m not interested in that continuing, so I’ll stick out a 7% worse product for $200 less and hope that throwing money at AMD will get them to compete on the bleeding edge with Nvidia like they are with Intel.

To me, buying Nvidia for performance is like buying an APC as a daily driver for work because of it’s safety rating. The cost long term does not at all seem worth it.

I’ve never bought Nvidia but they become more like Apple every day. Why be consumer friendly for niche PC builders? The average gamer already associates Nvidia with performance so it’s time to rely on good ol brand loyalty!

I had the same issue, it was a security update that made some wireless sound devices get rice krispied. Took me way too long to debug and when I found out Microsoft was responsible, I reverted my Windows and have been waiting for a solid jump off point. I might just back everything up on a HDD, then format my boot drive and go Linux. I’m tired of being tired of Windows.

Plaintext should never be used in any application that deals with security, ever.

Every day I wake up I gamble if I’ll enjoy it or not.

Politics are dumb but very, very important. I’m exhausted, but I can’t let that stop me.

Only 29%? The fuck does Nintendo even have on there?

Online communities are hostile. Period. Stop making everything gendered.

An NDA is fine, a clause to restrict “disparaging remarks” is not. If you can’t say anything there’s no need for such a clause.

Lol Alpha tests are rarely for what they should be, which is testing core features of the game not yet finished. In reality, it’s used to excuse negative aspects they have no plans of fixing.

Fuck em. Talk shit if you feel inclined to. Making you sign a contract otherwise is the peak of insecurities.

Because nobody likes self aggrandizement. The perception that so many people only do it to make themselves appear to be better people because of their morally superior choice is often a vile taste to anyone who hasn’t made that same choice.

We all know eating meat is bad and for the many reasons for it. What we don’t want to hear is that someone made the switch and that their bleeding heart simply couldnt take it anymore.

I eat beyond meat and I do my best to transition, yet, I’d never say that for the purpose of making myself seem like a better person. Vegans typically do.

Biometric is high security against thieves and nosy girlfriends, not kidnappers or cops apparently. You need to be physically present for most of them which means it can’t be done without you knowing. The problem arises when the person who wants access also has access to you.

And the game will be hard coded to only work with a Wii controller.

A good reminder that belief doesn’t kill anyone but fearing God, being afraid of that belief, that’ll get you to do anything.

Because of people… like you… who provide nothing to a free service besides costing bandwidth… leeches to a free internet… vampires to charity…

What data? Who bought it? Do you have a single fact to back that up?
