  • “Bro just one more post processing technology, trust me, just one more and all the clarity issues are going to be fixed, just one more. One more and that’s it, it’s going to look native, just one more. Just let me do one more, please.”

    Great, now I can play those blury, washed out, Vaseline smeared UE5 games at 40 FPS on high end hardware with a bit sharper upscaling artifacts. And only have to pay what, $700 more compared to a non GSync monitor?

    Nvidia can go and eat sand.




  • To be fair. Linux starts of super light, but if used as a general OS it becomes the epitome of bloat.

    Linux is like buying a car and just getting only the parking space.
    If you want to use your car, first you have to install the door and interior package. Then you get inside and have to install the seat package. But the seat has adjustment levers and uses the gear shifter library because it has levers already defined.
    Great now you also have a gear shifter too. But it turns out your transmission doesn’t work on the new version of the library so you have to also install an older package in parallel, so now you have 2 gear shifters, no biggie.
    Next up is the steering wheel, it uses the wheels package as a dependency (because both are round and can turn) so now you also have all the wheels. But those are summer tires, you need winter tires. You get the winter tire package but it needs an older version of the rim package. Unlucky for you, the download for the older rim package is unavailable, but you’re in luck. Some guy included that version of rims in his completed but unrelated car project. So you clone his car and rebuild the rim package yourself. You now have a whole extra car, but it’s not yours.

    By the time you got your one car ready to go, you have installed the parts for 7427 different cars, 27 complete vehicles and read 593 pages of documentation.










  • The MT7902 WiFi/Bluetooth Chip by Mediatek Corp. does not (and probably never will) have any official driver support. There are some unsuccessful community attempts to get it working, but nobody actually managed to pull it off.

    G6 Soundcard works for simple pass-through but SBX features aren’t natively enabled, you need a Windows install with Soundblaster Connect to enable the functionality and load the settings into the onboard memory of the card.
    Linux “supports” Dolby Atmos but it sound mostly like dogwater if not combined with Atmos mixed audio.

  • I recommend playing them in order, you can Import your save file from 1 to 2 and from 2 to 3, carrying over narrative choices you’ve made. Also you get really good (and well earned) starting gear if you import the save.

    The first one, while being ultra mega jank has some of the best writing out of any game I evet played. Choices really matter in this game and the game really respects your time for doing your homework whether it be monster hunting or investigations. It has more than the usually bad side, good side choice, characters can die because of your decisions (or even lack of). If you can see past babies first attempt of a combat system, the first Witcher game is amazing.
