Needs more UFO50, it’s like the dream game for the steam deck.

No one called anyone a Trump shill for supporting progressives in down-ballot elections. If you’re just talking about the start of the presidential election cycle, that’s too late.

No. Because even if they carried 100% of the vote in a state, the delegates can and most likely would just cast their votes for one of the major parties.

Brother, I’m voting against the party with the absolutely insane and oppressive declared policies. What are you talking about?

Well in that case it’s not really relevant.

That and the fact that it’s legally impossible for one to win the presidency, yeah.

Switched back to Linux this week and I couldn’t be happier.

Which games/mods are you talking about? It’s very rare for mods to not work if the game works, you might just need to find an alternate application somewhere in the chain

It’s gonna be way less hassle to just use Linux. The gaming situation is so vastly improved from 6 or so years ago, and the vast majority of games just work, with a large amount of the rest only needing minor tweaks.

The big exceptions are in competitive gaming, and even there it’s pretty much limited to proprietary & intrusive anti-cheats that I wouldn’t have installed on my Windows computer anyway; Riot’s Vanguard and FACEIT are probably the two big ones. Also Fortnite – even though EasyAntiCheat does work fine with Linux, Epic has chosen to explicitly not support it. If you do play one of those few games – or use other proprietary software like the Adobe suite that also won’t work – a dual boot should be fine, it only takes maybe two minutes to swap over and unless you have two beefy GPUs you’ll be limited in a KVM setup.

Based on this post I’m gonna say take it slow with a dual boot or live installation, if at all. You mention a lot of IMO fairly minor and subjective look and feel type criteria that indicate that you’ll be quite bothered by minor changes. Using Linux is going to involve major changes. If you’re not willing to leave your comfort zone and relearn a few things, might as well stay on Windows.

I’m pretty wary of corporate propaganda, but from the article this sounds like a pretty clear case of some greedy people taking advantage of Valve offering to cover all arbitration costs. Yes, they’re doing this to cover their ass, but it’s not a malicious move and I don’t see how it could be interpreted as anti-consumer.

Right… But unless you’re suggesting abolishing voting entirely, none of this suggests that withholding your vote in protest is useful.

It also takes very little effort.

Huh? You can see a bit of the card border on the edge of the token if that’s what you mean…

Uhh, that’s what wood grain looks like. It could still be shopped but that’s not evidence.

Do you think it’s a zero sum game where voting somehow disables your ability to do other activism and organizing?

I find the switch controllers to be absolute torture for anything more than like 20 minutes.

It has an APU but the graphics component is quite a bit more powerful than your average laptop.

Lol this is an article about how shit optimization has been for the last several AAA game releases. Even quite capable desktops often have performance issues with the mentioned games, because the PC ports weren’t optimized enough and/or tested on a wide enough range of hardware. It’s a real shame, many of them don’t even look significantly better than the last generation or two. It’s just graphical bloat as devs get lazier and lazier the beefier the GPUs get.

Yeah this has been a sticking point since the beta, they never responded to the thousands of comments complaining about it. It’s pretty bullshit and makes this feature useless in many circumstances.
