Yeah I’ll give it a go on my machine soon. I only run win in a VM with a gfx card passed through these days anyway just to use some software I have no option for, so didn’t really give it too much thought as there is no data on that system worth stealing anyway. But good to hear its oss.

I’ve steered away from these as a hangover of trust issues back from the old XP ‘lite’ ISO days. However since Microsoft is clearly the main source of malware on windows these days I think its time to let that go…

Some people thought the same about Amazon, providing them a huge marketplace to sell on… Then Amazon cloned the products which sold well and undercut to force those sellers out of business before hiking the prices back up again.

I would have interpreted that as ‘prolapse’

Good thing no one is expecting me to provide translations

I used to be into weed, so ended up having a bunch of stoner ‘friends.’ They’re really shockingly obnoxious people in general (with exceptions of course) for a group who mostly claimed to be into peace etc. As long as they could be stoned 24/7 they were tolerable, but ask them to do anything and be sober… What a bunch of dicks

Its not just artists

Here you go, have fun…

126 hours is probably the total time the writing team gets budget for per title in most ‘AAA’ studios now.

After that its down to chat gpt to fill in the gaps…

The host is headless, no video output. The 2 VMs have a GPU passed directly through vfio, so there is no additional delay. Both GPUs connect to the same 2 monitors and USB by a KVM, so its one button press to flip between systems. Though I often run the cad software over RDP, as a little extra latency when using that doesn’t bother me.

Err OK. I passthrough a card to each, switch with KVM. Its like having 2 native machines. According to you I have loads of issues, I guess I just haven’t found them yet? What should I be giving in to?

This is really weird,

ps, I sometimes game on either system, still can’t tell any performance difference from when it was bare metal. I guess I could be super lucky considering all those issues I should be having. Or maybe things aren’t quite as dramatic as you’ve portrayed them

This is some weird tribal emotional stuff.

I run both on the same machine in VMs, had this fedora install since 2019 and kept up with the version upgrades every year. Its just worked without issue during that whole period. I use office in the web app. Windows is there to run cad/cam software. It feels more gross with all the candy crush etc that you have to remove, but it works fine to run the software I need it for.

What’s with all the hyperbole above? Did someone hurt you?

Most ‘gaming’ chairs are trash material covering shipping foam - garbage.

There are exceptions though. A couple years ago I bought the least gaming looking full leather seat from noble, same foam as good car seats, leather very good, and got it on sale for a silly price. 2 years later it still looks the same as day 1 and the foam hasn’t started to deform yet, I work in it all day.

All my back pain from previous shit chairs was gone in a week too. After that I’d have been happy to pay double.

As in most markets, there are always diamonds in the rough, the hardest part is just identifying them.

Same for flux when doing smd work. If you need to flood an area, the cheap shit will just cost you time and cleaning

I wouldn’t say there’s much in the way of management, its short fights mostly. Something I like about it are the fairly strong modifiers for each character type and how it pushes you into using them all so you get forced into different types of play.

I’m also trying to mainly support small dev team games these days and I think this made by one person which I find super impressive. You die and restart a lot, which I also enjoy

Only buy a couple or so games a year these days, been really enjoying an arena fighting game I came across a little while ago. Only just started putting a few hours into it but always appreciate a game that makes you have to work on skill to progress.

Yeah, bad post.

This is the current temp in south UK, been 14-15c last 2 days. Usually would be less than 0c now, often around -5 or lower in the past.

First Christmas I’ve seen people going from car to shop/garage in t shirts

I moved to /e/ os so have been using magic earth which is preinstalled. Haven’t felt the need to go back to gmaps yet.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is easily in my top 3 favourite games ever, counting as far back as home world 1 (which also ranks in those 3.) If you give KCD a go be warned though, it will relentlessly punish you for any foolishness early on. It’ll make you work for every thing, no starting out as some warrior running down mobs of bandits. But it pays out with a true RPG experience that rewards incremental skill progress.

In the last decade, apart from the witcher 3, only Indy studios have produced truly memorable experiences for me.

Being in your 30s really means getting to grow up though the golden era of gaming. Real life gets in the way now so I just have the games I liked, maybe buy one or 3 (non AAA) titles a year, and that’s good for me. I’m still young enough to be confident I’m not being an old fart when I say, there really is barely anything worth your time or money in the industry anymore. There are of course exceptions, but man, its rough.

I hope it all fails and has to start again before ‘valve, and EA company’ becomes a possible timeline

The only legit media service I pay for now is YouTube. Before I get Amy lectures I am well aware of the issues with it, but also people still keep paying for Netflix as it cancels shows just as they start to grow, so… I’m a legacy google music sub, so moving over for me was a tiny cost increase to no longer mess with adblock on the site, though recently I do feel the YTM ‘radio’ algo is not as good as legacy google music. Self employed manufacturing stuff in my workshop all day either video or music is always on so its a bargain to me. My point being, that’s the only streaming sub I find worth paying for, out of everything. Maybe I’m an edge case but I just don’t see 4/5 of these services still existing in 5 years, its too much. Unless they can all survive on people subbing for 2-3 months a year

I was wondering what all the issues are until I reread and picked up on the nvidia part. That’s a shame as its been so stable for a long time on my 5700xt. I went exclusively AMD GPUs when the 5700 was released and aside from early issues with the win drivers, its been such a great experience on Linux. Big motivation was to be able to retire any of my cards as a video stream transcoder (after nvidia said 2 streams maximum, fuck you all) but as I’m not looking for 4k game all these years later those cards are still all I need for 2k.

Been really impressed with amd the last few years, especially compared to NVs mad pricing
