sane companies “leak” their upcoming games to influencerson purpose as part of their marketing strategy.

nintendo, once again, chooses to treat their most dedicated fans like shit.

would have been even longer if he just kept his mouth shut.

I’ve usually seen big bang theory compared to jersy shore.

one is a smart show about dumb people, and the other is a dumb show about smart people.

if we follow this logic, does that make it crowd a smart show about smart people?

i’m a liar and I didn’t make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.

omfg I forgot that I was gonna do this and I didn’t go the the heb

also, red onion is good, yellow onion is good, white onion is good, all different but all good.

I’m talking about normies, not gamers, and not power users like yourself.

Normies touch their pc for less than one hour a day, because everything they could want is in their phone. Many normies don’t even have internet connections in their home because they exclusively engage with the internet through their phone. I’ve talked to normies who don’t have pcs at all because their ipads do everything they could possibly want.

It’s a fact that there are certain games that simply do not run on linux, because of drm or developer stupidity or any number of reasons. As a separate argument, I’d argue that those games are not worth playing. I used to be a hardcore gamer, I’ve gotten old since then and become a casual. I don’t have time nor energy to dedicate to figuring out why game x won’t run on pc y with configuration z. If the big green play button doesn’t work, I refund the damn thing, and in my almost 2 years of linux usage I have yet to need to do that. Another separate argument is my disdain for AAA games, the lack of ethics in their creation, and the abysmal conditions in which they always launch in these days.

So as to your actual question, can I convince you to switch your gaming pc to linux? No, and I’m not even going to try. If you insist on playing the latest AAA slop that the megacorps shovel at you, then you must have windows and you must continue to allow microsoft to continue to rape your digital existence in order to have crappy entertainment that I wouldn’t dignify with the time of day.

get some garlic in there too, in for a good time.

that looks amazing, imma make one tonight

and yet all those “use eu tech” charts always recommend proton products

I made my statement based on popular opinion. I don’t have personal experience with it.

core count x clock speed hasn’t been a good metric for about 15-20 years, but if we go by that anyway then it looks like the switch2 will be slightly worse than a steam deck.

Do we know what the switch2’s hardware is yet?

We already know that the steamdeck plays switch games better than the switch. It would be hilarious if it also plays switch2 games better than the switch2.

git is fine. girhub sucks ass and if a I am ever directed to it then that project is dead to me.

putting this in the “inspiration” folder of my unsorted downloads that I’ll totally remember to come back to

if you’re on Linux mint, check to see if mint itself is out of date. When I installed mint, the only install media I could find was 2 versions behind. Getting to the current version fixed my warframe problems.

i remember it as “the last version of windows you’ll ever need” and they were absolutely correct.

I switched to linux full time almost a year ago.

I have been thus far entirely unsuccessful in convincing anyone else to make the jump. Normal people do not give a fuck, will not lift a finger to improve their digital lives. I’ve been telling friends and family about adblockers for YEARS, and not a single one ever bothered to do it of their own volition. If I don’t do it for them, then they just sit through ads like complacent sheep. None of them are going to change operating systems if they can’t even install a browser extension.

I bet you’re right, but the fact that I never see it is a feature worth paying for, especially for a smooth-brain like myself.

I would prefer to run my ais locally, but my brain glazes over if I see github. I found a a program called “gpt4all”, but it’s very limited in what models it can run, and what I could get just wasn’t as good for my use case as openai’s 4o model. Also, being able to generate images in the same conversation as text work is a feature that I’m fairly certain no other ai model can do (yet).
