I’m sure it doesn’t help that motherboard manufacturers have increasingly been targeting “whale” consumers over the last 10-15 years. I remember when a top of the line motherboard would cost you $300; and an average board was around $100-150.
At least one studio, Larian, has confirmed this is the case for them.
When discussing the pressures the company faces when releasing a game in early access, such as audience expectations, Vincke told us, “Interestingly, another [issue Larian is facing] is really the price of RAM and the price of SSDs and f**k, man. It’s like, literally, we’ve never had it like this.”
He continued, “It kind of ruins all of your projections that you had about it because normally, you know the curves, and you can protect the hardware. It’s gonna be an interesting one. It means that most likely, we already need to do a lot of optimization work in early access that we didn’t necessarily want to do at that point in time. So it’s challenging, but it’s video games.”
Bing, Yandex, and a few others yeah.
Meanwhile on DDG
get out of here with your moderate, nuanced viewpoint!
I’m throwing in my vote for CachyOS. Not because it’s the easiest to use (though it isnt difficult imo) but because it works out of the box, then they have nice wiki to guide you through simple things (like using Lutris and Proton). It’s also Arch based so there’s the arch wiki to fall back on. I ran Windows for 35 years and just switched to Linux in like October, fwiw.
Someone has never taken a big ole bite out of a vidalia onion! Like eating a spicy apple.
That’s it for me, goodnight internet.
The thought of Trump as a secret weaboo terrifies me for some reason.
Path of Exile 2 started working in wayland native (proton_enable_wayland) and it performs much better than through kwin or whatever is used by default.
Fair enough.
this is art lol
I’m sorry, I thought you were joking. I wasn’t making fun of him at all, merely adding some support to what protist was saying - there’s a difference between saying someone is narcissistic (exhibiting narcissitic personality traits) and saying someone has NPD, or “grandiose narcissism”. I think a small amount of narcissism is probably necessary for maintaining things like self-esteem. Greek mythology is full of some really messed up stories, I think we can both agree on that at least.
Ovid! That’s the name I couldn’t remember. I looked it up and ‘Echo and Narcissus’ is definitely the version I remember reading in school.
Why use 1 hammer with 50 hammers will do the job even better!
If I had a life I wouldn’t be posting about Greek mythology on Lemmy would I!
Thanks for adding that detail, makes sense. I was thinking the link previews were yeah more like the google results. Hover over and not have to go to the site.
That’s a good question. I’d personally argue that it’s different in that the adblockers are not an inbuilt part of Firefox, they’re made by extension developers. This is built right into the browser.
This isn’t my wheelhouse so take it with a grain of salt, but an argument against link summarizers that I’ve heard is that it takes views away from websites that could be generating revenue for themselves. Instead an LLM scraped their content and fed a summary directly to the user.
I’m talking more like the Windows ME/XP days to be honest. But too many to count. It’s more that actually useful features that used to be fairly standard (like 7-segment status displays and speakers) are effectively being gated behind $500+ motherboards to make them more attractive. A board that would have come with alphanumeric status codes now is lucky to ship with a couple LEDs that just indicate where a problem is at, not what the specific problem is.
