i find it interesting that the black straps that are pretty hard to see in the original are easier to discern in this jpegified version. Compression algorithms were created by some very smart people.
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 3 weeks ago:
that might be. i am a pure single-player (with a bit of local coop mixed in) player, and i prefer roguelites, VNs with actual gaming elements and FPS / “Immersive Sim”-Style games, and currently the Vampire Survivor category with Yet another Zombie Survival and Halls of Torment. I try out a lot of games (If theres a Fitgirl or DODI release of it and even somewhere in my ballpark i’ll test it).
Most issues i have stem from modding games without Workshop support, using external Mod Managers like Vortex sucks on Linux.
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 3 weeks ago:
i do not agree with that sentiment. i’m an avid gamer, and in the last few weeks since switching to nobara i only found 1 obscure game that didn’t work, and 2 that needed an entry in the preferences of the game in steam. using heroic launcher for all amazon/epic/gog games and lutris for my piracy tryouts (would work in heroic too, but it’s cleaner that way)
but i must admit that the experience is smoother in windows; i miss my playnite launcher which integrated everything from steam to other stores, pirated games and all emulation needs.

this is something i cannot understand. my brain would fking die from the seizures the modern, ad infested web induces.
- Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome, such as uBlock Origin – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
educated guess: since firefox is implementing v3 support alongside their v2 extensions, there shouldn’t be any issues running v2 and v3 extensions side by side in the foreseeable future

From the combined comments it looks like if you are a beginner or a pro then it’s great; if you only have just enough knowledge to be dangerous (in german that’s proverbial “gefährliches Halbwissen”) you should probably stay away from it :-)
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
to be fair, most of those “backups” are played once, if they suck they get thrown off instantly and if they are good they stay until the price point in the store doesn’t pain me anymore. so it’s really just a temporally displaced backup, you are right :-)
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 1 month ago:
My personal experience has shown me that the average person calling a support hotline has just enough computer experience to move the mouse and type web addresses into the google search bar instead of the address bar of their browser. you definitely wont get a cohesive description of their issue out of them, and they wont be able to tell you what OS they are using. (i got answers like “Microsoft”, “HP” or “Internet Explorer” when asking)
There is no way in hell to guide them so you get specific error messages or fix the issue with them instructing them over the phone when their OS can look and feel a thousand ways and you can’t see their screen.
I personally don’t have an issue with researching why something doesn’t work, but i know about the importance of error messages and how they relate to the used software. But there is no way to guide someone like the described callers through that process when differentiating between the left and the right mouse button is already difficult.
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 1 month ago:
My Steam Deck has a 512GiB SD card full of pirated games using lutris and sega genesis and nintendo ds roms on it. it is more comfortable to just buy stuff and play, which i do with titles that are worth it (thats the internal memory for), but you are not limited in any way (except that it has to work on linux)

- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
I’m currently running 2 displays at 1080p (one HDMI, one DP) on a 3070TI. Idle TDP with just plain color is 37-40W, 2 different scenes with features like audio reactivity and mouse input @15FPS are 55-60W. They get paused automatically when a window is maximized (per display), the secondary display pauses additionally when i run a fullscreen/borderless window on the main display.
It is absolutely useless eye candy. I love it lol
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
I agree, although i DID spend 5€ on wallpaper engine and i am very happy with it. (just know that our chinese friends are using the steam workshop for WPE to upload/download porn because most porn sites are great-firewalled lol, so take care regarding your filter settings)
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
Regarding Wallpaper Engine on KDE Plasma, since I switched to Linux a few days ago: here is the repo for the one KDE Wallpaper Plugin i found that worked fine on Nobara. Subscribe to the Wallpapers in Steam, point the plugin to the steam library, done. just know that there are some wallpapers not working yet, which makes plasmashell crash, but no biggie, change the wallpaper and restart plasmashell again.

yeah, thats one of the reasons why most tech support hotlines are less than helpful when you are running linux (except basic configuration data) - the amount of different systen configurations, UI’s and versions you can run into is just too big.
