One of the lovely things about Bazzite is that you can generally access the last working system when something breaks just by rebooting. This future sucks but it ain’t all bad.

Can’t spell “copilot” without “cop”.

Give the Destiny Church wiki article a gander. What a bunch of swell guys. Naturally it has a section for sex abuse allegations.

Launch availability sucks as usual, too. Thought I had an XFX from NewEgg until I got the “voided due to insufficient stock” email. Thanks for wasting my morning, NewEgg.

Ask them why they don’t keep their toilet in their living room. 😆

It’s done. RTD brought it (back) into this world, and if we can judge by the quality of the writing, he means to take it out (again). It’s ok, Russell. Robert Holmes wasn’t doing his best work near the end, either.

This is me. Spanking new 9800x3d with an RTX 3080. I’m not unhappy but I’d planned to buy a new video card by now. 😄

My first thought upon seeing this post title was “Oh, is Ron Amadeo writing for 9to5google now?” 😆

Bunch of greedy ass geezers. I’ve been watching the MSI RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim SOC. Announced at 2,499. B&H initially had it at that price, then 2,789, then 2,799, then back to 2,789. US MSI store also went to 2,799. Haven’t seen a price yet on NewEgg.

Edit: Just noticed that I’d said “4090” instead of “5090”. This has been corrected. Apologies for the typo.

After years of releasing its games exclusively on the Epic Store

I thought I bought Valhalla through UPlay or whatever you call it. When did that come out?

Edit: AC Valhalla was released on Nov 10, 2020. Furthermore, Wikipedia says

On PC, the game was an Epic Games Store-exclusive title until December 6, 2022, when it was released on Steam.

but I just checked and the only game I ever bought on Epic was Kena Bridge of Spirits.

Did you read the article? Biden made many of Trump’s tarrifs permanent and Harris, while critical of Trump’s tarrifs, hasn’t put forth her own plan or disowned the Biden strategy.

Edit: Fucksake, Lemmy. It says this in the article. I said nothing positive or negative about either candidate or their positions on tarrifs. 😆

Hey, sometimes you need to hose out the cruft.

Why yes, I do maintain a legacy application that still stores user files in Program Files in blatent violation of 15 years of Windows best practices and continues to be done contrary to my repeated advice, why do you ask?

Finally got updated 😄👍

Logout still hangs on both X and Wayland sessions (KDE) 😫👎

I’m sure you’re correct. Just as a poor education along with lack of socio-economic opportunity and inavailability of mental healthcare might contribute to radicalization in the working poor, it stands to reason that a basic lack of empathy, whether taught or innate, likely coupled with greed must play a role for radicalization of the wealthy.

Not an expert but it seems to me the most important thing is education. In the U.S. they’ve been chipping away at that since at least the eighties. I’m not “handing it to them” but the right has put in the long term work to get us where we are today, with only feeble liberal centrist pushback.

And I shall die there with you, friend. It all comes down to the quality of the writing.

Make mine Pertwee. The Barry Letts era is the most consistently good the show ever was, or likely ever will be. There were some individual Tom Baker stories that were better under Hinchcliffe and Williams, and some that were much worse *coughs* JNT *coughs* . Perhaps one of the hazards of Tom Baker’s long tenure. 😆

I made an effort to learn it. In 2000. Again in 2012 or whenever the last big push was. If past is prologue, I may need to learn it again soon. 😆

When I replaced Windows, I had two other disks with NTFS volumes, one of which was full of Steam games, the other with assorted crap. I built this box in 2017. The SSD where Windows was installed is only 256 GB.

FWIW, I’ve got an i7-8700k with an RTX 3080. I initially had two major issues when I replaced Windows with Bazzite:

1. Steam doesn’t do great with libraries on NTFS partitions. Supposedly there are workarounds, but I couldn’t get them to work for me. I had to reformat a couple drives as ext4 (and do a bunch of file management in the process) before things would play nice.

2. I had my CPU overclocked to 4.8 GHz in Windows. BG3 kept crashing on me on Bazzite. Finally occurred to me to drop the overclock and I’ve played 40+ hours since, solid as a rock. Performance is comparable to Windows with OC. GPU temps are consistently better than Windows. Only thing I’m missing is HDR.

Bonus: GreenWithEnvy (for GPU fan curve) won’t run in a Wayland session yet, apparently, so I’ve been running under X11 instead.

Hope this helps. YMMV. Happy gaming, whatever OS you use!
