Oh fantastic, I missed that. 🥂

That’s pretty cool. I didn’t expect to like this series but I tried FH4 and ended up finding it super addictive and collecting every car I could.

Hope someone gets this working on Linux 🙂

Now I’m just picturing the whole snowy realm of the Nords littered with Cyberpunk-Style adverts everywhere. Like dragons have to fly around them and everything…

Ah, the rare situation that calls for the combined skills of a database admin, an ornithologist, and a urologist.

Which one do you think is best for folks who never use voice chat? I run a discord server for my friend group but we really just post text plus funny images and videos. I’d like to migrate away from this corporate nonsense.

Better IRL event features would be extra nice to have but I’m not that picky.

This is the actual Linux answer. If you’ve made the switch then you know it’s worth being a *nix user first and a gamer second, because capitalism. But despite the horrible churn of enshittification these are true golden days for Linux gaming, so be patient but enjoy it.

(I say *nix to include our BSD pals)

Interesting story/event, excellent shot. The composition is kind of like a very modern take on Panini. I can imagine this photo being used in some documentary about the 2020s a half-century from now.

Thanks for posting some quality OC.

Backwards compatibility was a main selling point of Windows and is a big part of what made Microsoft successful. This was particularly true in the enterprise world where old apps had to continue working despite an OS upgrade. But it matters at the consumer level too of course. Everyone expects their PC apps to just work, even through major changes like the OS switching from 32 to 64 bit.

So it’s kind of nuts that Microsoft ever considered this optional for their game console in the first place. Obviously they were able to use market dominance and invest lots of capital to make Xbox one of the top console brands regardless. But it’s still dizzying how MS forgot such a core lesson that put them ahead of market competitors for decades.

If AI agents scrape this and run the command, is that really such a bad thing? 😏

As a sysadmin, nothing makes me want to bitchslap devs harder. It’s shocking how many don’t even ask if we have a dev enviro. (The answer is yes)

Well she’s been doing VO work on Soulframe, which surprised me. Seems like she’s in everything these days, so maybe slowing down is good.

Look for benchmarks on games you actually play (or at least similar ones). That’s way more useful and practical than the artificial tool scores.

I just did a web search for a popular GPU model + “benchmarks” and the very first result was a Tom’s Hardware page showing how it scores (in frames per second) against a 17 different models and 14 popular games with common resolution/quality settings.

Forget brands, forget series. Look up benchmarks for the things you actually want to run (games? video editing? raw compute?) and find the best bang for the buck on that. And of course find a motherboard to match that CPU and your other needs.

I’ve run Intel, AMD, even IBM PowerPC for many many years and they’ve all been very reliable. The difference just comes down to performance for the job.
