- Comment on Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me 2 weeks ago:
Using JIS basically requires buying a special high quality screwdriver set. A few years ago I bought a few Nintendo switch repair kits that came with JIS drivers, and ended up removing the screws with a drill. Since then I bought an ifixit kit, which has heads that are actually the right size - unfortunately it is too late for my poor switch, that is now slightly mangled beneath its case.
Basically what I’m trying to say is fuck JIS.

Yes, the internet is filled with weirdos - next question

Like 15 years ago a friend randomly showed me a website called tugmap. I asked what the fuck was wrong with him, but in retrospect something like that might be exactly what you need!

COD is published by Activision, not EA - that’s battlefield.

I downloaded the game and got my city’s street map added. Now I really want to test it… hopefully the dense smoke goes away before summer ends 😢

Haven’t played it much, but I’d assume there is some enemy in dwarf fortress with 30 years of development.

This one was on my wishlist for a while, picked it up a few days ago. Just remembered I need to put it on my 3DS now!

- Comment on I finished Mina the Hollower 100%! (Plus short review) 2 months ago:
Dark Souls is the closest feeling a game has ever given me to Ocarina of Time. In my mind, everything post Anor Londo is basically the “adult” era.

- Comment on Forza Horizon 6 immediately beats its predecessor's all-time Steam record with 130,000 concurrent players – and that's only counting people willing to pay $120 for early access 3 months ago:
In bought forza 4 last year too… but I had to buy it from a third party code seller, as it was removed from storefronts for no apparent reason. It’s such a good game, pulling it was a dumb move.
- Comment on Is it weird that I cringe whenever someone calls my name and I avoid using peoples names when talking to them? 3 months ago:
I hate it when salespeople who have my data in their system use my name over and over again, feels so false. In moderation it’s nice though… Also one guy working at a large store last year remembered my name as soon as I walked in after a month or so, I was definitely impressed.

TOTK was amazing. That list is also missing lots, such as Hades II

Famous last words, now your RAM and GPU are going to fail
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 5 months ago:
Pretty sure it’s always been like that. You technically can enable secure boot, but to my understanding updates will force you to set up custom keys again, and I’m fairly sure Nvidia refuses to release drivers that can be signed.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 5 months ago:
I have many drives. Some games won’t run if Linux is installed anywhere, however.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 5 months ago:
I don’t think I want to retry at this point until I get a different GPU - I definitely appreciate the offer though. I also forgot to mention that I produce music mainly in Ableton, and have a ton of third party plugins.
In case it helps someone:
Current specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor
RAM: 32.0 GB DDR4 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPERI’ve tried several distros over the years, and since ~2022 have tested arch, pop!, and nixOS. NixOS was definitely my favourite, but I’d have graphical issues in web browsers, never mind games.
Some games have sort of worked, but they always ran SUBSTANTIALLY worse than they do on windows. Even games with legitimate Linux versions like Factorio looked like shit. It’s hard to describe, but i always had weird horizontal tearing/delay patterns in the games (didn’t look like a v-sync issue to me).
I generally try the different versions of whatever the newest drivers are for my GPU at the time. I used to have a 1070, then a 3070, then a 4070. I have always had the same issues on the distros i have tried in the past as well (primarily ubuntu).
I would love to be able to dual boot again, but without being able to sign the bootloader for anti-cheat without an insane recurring time commitment, i’m not really interested currently. And i know id end up wasting 10s or 100s of hours debugging things that shouldn’t be broken in the first place.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 5 months ago:
Because despite what people say Linux doesn’t “just work” with nvidia, I can’t afford an AMD GPU right now, and because the people I know only want to play games with kernel level BS.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 5 months ago:
Meanwhile my windows PC restarts if I launch a game with kernel level anti-cheat, after updating my GPU driver a few months ago. Just tried the new driver, instant reboot.
MS and Nvidia are fucking entirely made of vibe-coding morons, and apparently testing is no longer needed.
