Oh damn, that’s a good one! i never got to watch a battle in total war with max number of troops
- Comment on Old games with high GPU requirements (and look great) 1 week ago:
Thanks. It wasnt a proton issue. The game runs OK randomly if the rockstar launcher signs in properly. Otherwise it just stalls and the rockstar launcher throws an error saying the game is already running
- Comment on Old games with high GPU requirements (and look great) 1 week ago:
Thanks for the reminder. That was on my wishlist for a while. Totally forgot

RDR2 was one of the first things i tried to replay, but i was having weird problems with rockstar launcher (maybe only a problem on linux)
i’m playing gtaV enhanced maxed out. Looks great
Shador of TR, great suggestion. I’ll grab it on sale
Metro and stalker are great suggestions, but i’m really not into horror (i like to sleep at night)

- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 2 weeks ago:
Even on a computer without ad blocker (work laptop, chrome browser)
the number of times i say “nah i don’t need to see that” as soon as thes annoying ads comes up before the video…
The decline probably has very little to do with ad blockers.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 2 weeks ago:
Exactly…
The reason i run ad blocking at every level isnt to show that i’m too smart for marketing…
It’s because ads work on me… my brain rejects certain ads for sure, and it says “psssshhh, how can people be dumb enough to buy that shit???”… but that doesnt mean i’m too smart for advertising and that it doesnt affect my brain in subtle other ways.

All the prior cases from these chatGPT lawyers should be reviewed. What other shortcuts were they taking before? Did an innocent person end up in jail because of some prior negligence?

Sometimes i use ai to analyze spreadsheet data for me and spit out an excel sheet with the answers. It says “thinking” for like 10 mins, and i can just imagine some GPUs on fire in a datacenter somewhere…

Sure, but why do meta/goog/MS need to be there? Are they opening up research to each other?

I dont really understand their business model.
Hosting these huge model files. Why cant facebook/goog/m$ just do that on their own?
How did these massive ai giants end up relying on huggingface for everything?

- Comment on Just finished Hogwarts Legacy, it was enjoyable but could've been better. 4 months ago:
Yeah, just like OP, i just wanted to go to school, explore the castle, and skip class once on a while
Instead, a lot of the game is just running around murdering goblins. And my character is a total psycho… Just gleefully wiping people out with UNFORGIVABLE CURSES, WTF… using a curse is enough to land you in azkaban. Yet my character is just openly firing these curses off with impunity and the game seemingly doesnt give you any feedback that this is wrong, nor any deterrents. (Maybe there are some consequences later?? I put the game down for a while because the constant combat was too much for me)
Also, kidnapping animals, and putting them in your zoo so that you can harvest magical materials from them. How is that any better than the poachers???
Kids are going to have a warped sense of morality after playing this game

- Comment on 'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux 4 months ago:
I’ve been full time linux since 2017, i think (it was a long time ago)
Honestly, linux gaming with steam/proton has been really good for a LONG time. Like even “AAA” games like RDR2 have been working well whenever i buy them (not on release day, but maybe a year after)
In 2025, there’s really no reason not to go linux unless you play some very specific game that absolutely doesnt work on linux
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 4 months ago:
What if fdroid goes rogue or gets hacked?
I’m an fdroid user, but i often wonder if it is safer than google play store
Likelihood of google getting hacked/rogue is much lower than a small, community run volunteer project

Isnt that a risk for all app stores?
