Yep, nvidia’s linux drivers are notoriously jank.

Almost, but not quite. A single second recording played at one fps would take roughly 5 million years to finish, so a 40 minute recording would take 12 billion years to finish at 1 fps. The big bang was 13.8 billion years ago.

When has banning porn ever been profitable? Look at tumblr.

I mean, a bog standard rejection email at least would be nice. Being entirely ghosted sucks, at least with a rejection I know not to keep thinking about that job.

A lot people like playing on genuine hardware, and this enables skipping a ton of steps to making that possible. For those select people this really is a massive convenience if maybe not a godsend.

In the case of business’s, liability reasons, real and imagined, mostly prevent just “switching” OS’s freely.

In the case of home users, think of how many people you know that have a windows computer. Now how many of those people can you confidently say could install ANY OS, let alone handle setting up Linux or bypassing TPM requirements for W11?

Personally, out of the hundreds of people I know with a windows computer, I can count on my fingers how many I’m confident in being able to install an OS. Most people are really not tech savvy. They will just ride it out with no security patches until it becomes Jenn’s laptop from the IT Crowd, and then they’ll chuck it in the garbage.

use your proprietary software in the OS you are allowed to use. Not seeing the issue.

The OS they are able to use is Windows 10. They likely don’t meet the TPM requirements to update to Windows 11(as if you’d wanna use it anyways); so when W10 goes EoL, they will be SoL(shit out of luck) on getting future security patches. Which is y’know, bad, especially on the machine you do actual work on.

Creation is built on code over 20 years old at this point, and it shows

You can just as easily say the same thing about Unreal Engine, Frostbite, CryEngine, etc… all of these engines are built on decade(s) old code to some degree. The problem isn’t Creation Engine, it’s Bethesda. Unreal isn’t a magic bullet. The results if they used Unreal at this point would likely be worse, not better.

Opera is chromium based

By definition, no, but most people probably assume negativity when they hear the word rant.

I mean, Skyrim SE and FO4 had some level of mod support even on consoles. That was and still is mostly unheard of otherwise.

LMAO I got fucking rick rolled on the napster section

This is pretty fucking shitty. This would be fine if they didn’t supplant CSGO entirely with CS2, but they did.

Can I see an OG PS5 next to it for scale? It’s hard to visualize how much smaller it is.

Yeah well, the propaganda has gotten even more blatant and it’s still the worlds best selling game every year. So I think it’s totally reasonable to continue having this conversation.

Because it’s not a message plus an entirely separate mechanical system

Except they kinda are separate. It doesn’t matter how good your story is, if it’s a total slog of mediocre boring gameplay to get that story I’m just not gonna bother. If the actual game part of your game is bad, it’s a bad game; if only the story is good, you may as well make it a movie,book or something else like that.

Telltale games were also really bad games for basically the same reasons, should’ve just been direct-to-video/streaming movies. Fight me.

People who like minimizing the amount of bug fixing.

Raytracing, no chance just from a performance standpoint even if it “supports” it, but DLSS is a given. If anything, I’m worried they’ll end up relying on DLSS to get games “playable”, just like what’s happening on PC.

It’ll definitely be DLSS 2, though. No chance they get DLSS 3.

I get the complaint with starfield since transferring stuff to your companions or ship is such a pain with their awful UI, but it’s not even an issue in BG3.

99% of the time my party members have plenty of room to store all my shit, and in the rare occasion they don’t it’s a sign I have tons of shit to sell. On the even rarer occasion I run out of room in a situation where I can’t easily leave, I can just send my extra crap to camp. Mind you, besides Shadowheart(Str 18) me and my party members all have base strength.

Pretty good actually. If I had to criticise, about half-way up the forehead he turns back into generic fallout 4 white dude. Might be a limitation of the face sculpting tools tho, so not bad.
