I read the story.

I saw the comments on the story

I laughed at the pedantic slapfights happening in the comments.

I came here to comment on the neat story and poke fun at the silliness, to find the same pedantic slapfights here.

Sigh.

ah, my bad… I didnt realize it meant just putting it in the games launch options. I thought it had to be set in some file or something. Thank you for the clarification.

how does one add it as a variable?

dont turn off your monitors.

The power on/off cycles significantly reduce their lifespan vs just leaving them on.

The pennies you save on the power bill aint gonna add up to enough to replace the monitor more often.

my windows gaming laptop had a 256gb nvme drive in it. I didnt find it to obtrussive outside of the inability to willy nilly install things from steam. I did eventually upgrade to a 512gb samsung nvme, but almost entirely cause i found a sale that was too good to let pass.

I dont know how much space iOS takes up, though.

Minecraft runs great, I dont know about factorio.

but I know some native versions suck absolute ass and force you to use the windows version via proton regardless. ETS/ATS and Cities Skylines 1 being my immediate personal examples.

Just in time for 32gb to become the necessary standard, so they can still sell you egregiously overpriced ram upgrades.

I wager your dad has a subscription or something he doesnt want to admit.

I’m not too familiar with chrome books, i know some of them are insanely locked down to prevent this… but see if theres a linux distro compatible with your chromebook, and if its possible to slap a linux install on it.

save you having to buy a new machine, possibly.

AI is nothing more than a way for big businesses to automate more work and fire more people.

and do that at the expense of 30+ years of power reduction and efficiency gains, to the point that private companies are literally buying/building/restarting old power plants just to cover the insane power demand, because literally operating a power plant is cheaper than paying the energy costs.

For the common every day person its 3d tv and every other bullshit fad that burned brilliantly for all of 3 seconds before snuffing itself out, leaving people to have had paid for overpriced garbage thats no longer useful.

I’m sorry to say this, man, but I’ve not had any issue with Starfield and using mo2/linux installer for mo2.

Sounds like its something specific to your setup/install. I’m not versed enough to offer any suggestions or tips besides a reinstall, sadly.

that works great in my experience.

The New Nexus Mod App only supports 2 games currently, and will probably be a year or more before its in a generally usable state.

theres no option to update inside the launcher, i take it? gotta uninstall 8.3 and install 9?

1.02 was released.

Guide still works, just download and point to the appropriate v1.02 files.

and now, they are wanting to sell games for 70-80 bucks for AAA titles.

Its not cause the games are 50 dollars that they arent making enough hundreds of millions. The only reason these AAA games arent making bank is because they’re shit

Can anyone honestly remember the last AAA title that wasnt an absolute dog pile?

People keep saying SNES/N64/etc games were super expensive…and i just wanna ask where they were buying them?

Cause everytime I went into the stores to get one they were 49.99.

regular reminder that digital distribution was sold to us under the false promise that games would be cheaper, because they wouldnt have to pay for printing boxes, CDs, manuals, greebles, Wouldnt have to pay for shipping or storage, or any other burden addition of physical media.

That we’d be able to buy games for 30 dollars, and that that the developers and everyone involved would make more money than they would have paying 50 for a physical game.

People seem to forget that just moderately decent games sell magnitudes more today than they did 20 years ago, too, thus continuing to bring in insane cash (as long as you arent sony or other companies that are obscenely wasteful…) despite inflation, this stable pricing making them a good entertainment investment for people whose minimum wage hasnt changed in like 15 years

Lutris lets you add your GOG account and download/install games directly. its not Galaxy, but its pretty flawless.

I wrote a guide for getting fallout london up and running if you need a hand
