- Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite 3 days ago:
95%+ of you would be leaving massive, massive performance on the table by using Linux
Pulling numbers out of thin air.
Also, I’m not seeing the “massive” here. But I’m not someone who sweats about framerates as long as they’re stable and above 60fps. I have always been a mid-spec player.
Those Nvidia numbers aren’t great, but in general, fuck Nvidia. They are getting better about their drivers, and the performance on Linux will continue to get better.
But me, I’m happy gaming on Linux, and so are lots of folks.

Linux will be significantly worse
Is the significance in the room with us? All I’m seeing is marginal difference at this point.
- Comment on The Xbox 360 came out 20 years ago 1 week ago:
Steam has a lot more demos these days than it used to, and it’s great. I do not like buying, trying, and refunding games. But demos? Hell yeah. I’ll try those on a whim.

I guarantee I will never use this information. But thank you anyway.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 4 weeks ago:
I only got Steam when HL2 released because I had no need for it before then. I don’t remember having any real negative feelings about it.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 5 weeks ago:
I love the vertical task bar in KDE. It does exactly what I want it to, and that’s so refreshing.
- Comment on What does Oracle actually do? | Good Work [11:47] 5 weeks ago:
Sadly I’m in this boat. We use Oracle database and have stored procedures all over the place. For us, the cost to convert everything would probably be huge.
I’d love to switch to PostgreSQL.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 5 weeks ago:
Bazzite already fills this niche. It just doesn’t have the Steam name on it.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 1 month ago:
TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 month ago:
I love just driving around doing nothing in Cyberpunk 2077.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 month ago:
I would suggest against self driving cars for this very reason. The kind of thing in the article is not a hazard while driving.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 month ago:
The kind of quality assurance you’re talking about is astronomically expensive. Software has gotten a lot more complex over the past couple decades. And just because it came on physical media and could not easily be patched doesn’t mean that it didn’t have bugs. Far from it.
- Comment on Jeep pushed software update that bricked all 2024 Wrangler 4xe models 1 month ago:
I have a used 2017 Chevy Bolt that I absolutely adore. I bet I could pretty easily disable the OnStar if I was so inclined and paranoid about it somehow getting updates. But I doubt I need to do that.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 2 months ago:
And take years to learn how to use well
Heaven fucking forbid that a person dedicates themself to learning a perfecting a craft. Meanwhile, you sloppers are out here thinking you’re gonna take over the entertainment industry with your, “Yo Sora, make me a movie that’s like Pulp Fiction crossed with Fight Club with supernatural elements.”
Who cares if people make AI “slop” when there will also be visionaries making mind blowing stuff with AI?
Because that’s all that it’s good for. Every year it’s, “Oh this is going to be so much better in 6 months, bro. It’ll be able to generate full movies by then, for sure, bro.” And every year it does get better, but it’s still complete and utter garbage. It’s still slop.
And even if it’s not slop, LLM tech is basically just a repackaged soulless slurry of existing media. Unless there is a fundamental breakthrough in AI tech, it will always be that. LLMs just work that way. It is a limitation of the technology.
If you can’t see that, then you truly don’t understand what this tech is.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 2 months ago:
Smart phones record exceptionally high quality video. Free and open source CGI software can be run on older computers.
People who want to make stuff will find a way to do it.
Lazy people who want to feel special will generate AI slop.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 2 months ago:
People don’t need AI slop at all. At least meat provides sustenance.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 2 months ago:
You can make movies with e-waste tech these days. There is no barrier to entry.
People who don’t have the drive to make things without AI well never produce anything of value with AI.
- Comment on Give me a single reason why Sora2 should exist. 2 months ago:
And the environmental cost is still lower than meat.
Meat, whether you think it’s moral or ethical or not, serves a need. People need to eat. People don’t need AI slop.
It’s kind of like saying, “Well yeah I leave this 50kw diesel generator running 24/7. It’s way less environmentally damaging than meat. No, I’m not using the power it generates for any real purpose, but who cares, it’s environmentally friendly!”

Get out of my room, Peter Pan.
- Comment on Why does my brain think I still need counterpoints for arguments I had ten years ago? 2 months ago:
I had a roommate that bitched at me for how I washed a pan poorly 20 years ago.
I still imagine arguing with him when I wash dishes maybe 30% of the time. It’s extremely stupid.
- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 2 months ago:
I’ve recently been playing through God of War (2018), and one of my biggest complaints is how bad the camera and movement is.
I just finished playing this for the first time. I started with a controller, and moved to more and keyboard. It’s a lot better with a mouse.

Same. I kinda like it.
- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 3 months ago:
For me, Linux wasn’t viable as a daily driver until Valve made gaming work.
But now that they have, it’s great.
- Comment on Critical Docker Desktop flaw lets attackers hijack Windows hosts 3 months ago:
I run Rancher Desktop on Windows… But only because my company won’t let me use Linux, and I only use it for Dev and testing.
All that to say, I have no idea why else you would be running a container engine on a Windows host.

Nostalgia? Doom 3 came out three years after Diablo 2’s expansion.

I also think it’s a nice-looking game. The graphics help convey the setting really well, IMO. I really enjoyed it.
