idk it certainly feels weird to me that videogames- even ones I don’t personally enjoy- are viewed as relevant enough to get this kind of political attention.
Realistically, if I take a step back from it I’m just stuck in 2008, but… yeah.
Besides, weird isn’t necessarily a requirement here. Just ‘it looks like satire but isn’t’.
Also: you have excellent taste in videogames. Noita is great.
I didn’t see much of it except for one burst where Hexbear was getting rowdy with my instance- that was… annoying.
There was some drama I don’t recall the specifics of but it apparently angered Hexbear enough that I started seeing a lot of them in basically every comment section.
Personally, I’m using Win10 'til it doesn’t get security updates anymore.
Then I’ll give Linux a go.
So this is why people have suggested a tripsitter whenever I bring up mushrooms lmao
That GPU shortage absolutely blew. I used a 1650 the whole time, just sitting on my hands waiting for something to be vaguely affordable. Ended up snagging an RX 6600 right at the very very end of the shortage- caught it on a steep sale and paid $220 for it, and my exact model is $200 now so I did pretty good I think lol
If the most resource intensive thing you’re looking at is BG3 @ 1080p/60fps, you definitely won’t need to spend a few grand. Now is a great time to build. You can get pretty great price/performance at the moment.
Here’s a link to a build, I’d suggest buying the SSD in that list, and replacing your hybrid drive. You can keep the hybrid as a spare, if you want, but you don’t have to. If that solves your issue and gets you the performance you want, cool.
If it doesn’t solve your issues, you can just buy the rest of the parts in the list and build a new PC. It’s a PCPartPicker link for the UK, so it’ll tell you the best places you can order each part in your country. Alternatively, you can buy a prebuilt- probably wanna aim for $1000 USD or so for a prebuilt. I can’t really help you with that, not my thing.
If you do end up building your own there’s an extremely helpful very long Linus Tech Tips video that breaks down how to assemble the whole thing.
What’s your budget look like? Because if you don’t have much to spend, you’re best off just tossing an SSD in as your boot disk. That’ll help significantly. After that, I’d grab 32GB of matching RAM(make sure it’s DDR4, not DDR5) and try that.
After that, you’re basically building a new PC because to significantly upgrade your CPU- which is the next thing you’d want to- you’d need at minimum a new motherboard as well and probably a case since prebuilt cases can have proprietary layouts and be weird.
If you wanna build your own PC, but can’t figure out what parts would be good/what you actually need feel free to reply with a budget and your general location- country is good enough- and I can send you a link to a part list. I used to hang out in /r/buildapcforme and I kinda miss it lmao
and at least 8gb additional ram.
Honestly, I’d suggest getting 32gb of RAM with a decent speed and just tossing the rest of that mishmash.
That’s interesting, I really like the fishy taste. If it’s overpowering it can be unpleasant, but in reasonably amounts it’s tasty.
(this is an expensive hobby just FYI)
Yeah custom keyboards get absurdly expensive very quickly.
Yeah, I don’t like Linus all that much but I do enjoy LTT’s content overall. He tends to drastically and publicly overreact to literally any criticism, and then the rest of the team gets involved and he walks it back. Whether they legitimately change his mind or just convince him he’s gotta look like he’s changed his mind I have no clue.
My favorite instances of Linus are when he’s an absolute idiot on the WAN show and we just get to see Luke’s reaction live. The hard-r thing was absolutely hilarious.
In 2022 he tweeted this.
That might be what you’re remembering, but he’s definitely addressed his views on piracy during the WAN show several times as well.
Edit: someone else posted the full context elsewhere in the thread. I’d link to that comment, but idk how on lemmy so here: https://archive.ph/VavFc
No. The owner of the media has already been paid in both of those scenarios. It makes zero difference to them whether you’re watching the ads.
Adblocking, on the other hand, is actively hurting the owner of the media because they get paid based on how many ads they can serve. If you block the ad, it isn’t served, and they don’t get paid.
Personally, I definitely think it’s piracy. I also still do it.
I actually like it a lot ngl.
From the side it looks like the bastard son of a Frogfoot, the backside looks like they stole the tail rudders from an F-18 and strapped them on something F-14 adjacent.
The front is very A-10, just with the engines in a different orientation.
Installed, I love all the themes! Thanks!
I’m really enjoying it quite a lot- I first played around a20, and then I picked it up again recently.
It isn’t a perfect game, but it’s a pretty decent experience that’s very unique.
I don’t think it’s worth $45. That seems a bit excessive. $20 or maybe even $30? Sure.
With that said, I haven’t followed the game’s development at all really. I could see a bunch of broken promises causing some completely understandable frustration with the devs.
I remember in school people would say something loudly- neck check? or redneck check? I’m really not sure- and then slap you on the back of the neck. The assumption was that if you had a sunburned neck it’d hurt. I can’t remember why the hell it was done, just that it was.
Why would they even bother to shut down the wave pool because of that? Fish the thing out, keep going.
I also found that weird juxtaposition interesting.
Ingame, he’s totally chill and reasonable. Outside the game he’s… a fuckin nazi? Huh?
What do you mean by this? There’s a finite amount of possibilities coded into the game? You only get (number) of possible choices so choice is an illusion?
