I have to throttle the fuck out of my laptop cpu and gpu to keep it from blowing itself up. This is a more effective heat and stress test than fucking prime95. I’d rather get shitty framerates at 1080p than have to buy a new laptop 6 months from now when my laptop dies from overheating like the last 2 ones I owned probably did. For fuck sake why couldn’t they have done a better job optimizing.

This. Nintendo is one of the least ethical videogame companies out there. Even when they come up with something new and innovative, it’s so locked down you’re better off waiting to play someone else’s copycat of it.

I bet it works fine on amd gpus right now. If you’re on a 10 series Nvidia card you’re fucked. If you’re on a newer Nvidia card it’s still kind of bad though but not every protondb report involving Nvidia 3xxx or 4xxx cards is complaining about performance. I suspect there exists some kind of performance fix for later Nvidia cards that is not yet well known.

The latest driver is 537.13 I think. Most of the time they only bother to put every multiple of 5 driver version in Linux distro repositories. Someone that was familiar with how exactly the low level parts of this worked could manually get driver 537 working on Linux probably. No idea if that would work or not but I haven’t seen someone claim to have tried it yet.

As a die hard Windows hater that games (I haven’t had Windows installed on any pc I own since 2015) all of the AAA games always get absolutely dogshit performance when they first come out. It was like that with Cyberpunk and it was like that with Hogwarts Legacy. Today, those games play just as well on Windows as on Linux. I’m sure they’ll eventually work it out

But then people wouldn’t buy $1000 graphics cards all the time which isn’t very cash money for the industry

Nintendo better not send their lawyers after this guy.

It’s going to take so long to download Starfield on my dsl internet that by the time it finally downloads, Starfield 2 will be out

Fuck I hope my 1080ti can do it

Oh man, there’s already a space exploration mod for factorio. If the plan is to do that but better, they really have their work cut out for them. I really hope they plan to and succeed in making it “space exploration but better” otherwise the modding situation is going to get really awkward…

People need to stop supporting Nintendo and other developers that employ unethical practices. I’m never buying a switch or any Nintendo crap probably ever. Fuck 'em.

Wow I feel old now. 7 years? Already? In my mind No Man’s Sky is still a “new” game.

On reddit, if your karma is too low you’re not allowed to participate in most communities.

It’s pronounced GIF

Wtf is this dystopian shit holy fuck things are out of control

I think there was an elder scrolls game that used procedural generation for a lot of the map but all the important areas were hand made. There’s no way they can hand make a galaxy full of planets without sacrificing something important somewhere. Why can’t they just procedurally generate some of it? Is the no procedural generation supposed to be a selling point?

What at-home stuff can you do to maintain your teeth? Brushing and flossing twice a day just doesn’t cut it. Brown stuff still eventually builds up around the edges and right above the gum line (although it does take quite a few years). Being obsessive about dental hygiene only delays the buildup and is not sustainable on its own. I may be able to afford dentist appointments now but by the way society is headed, that may not be the case 10 years from now or even next month.

Dang, I sure am glad I pirated like every Nintendo rom N64 and prior a long time ago before they started purging everything.

Until we colonize other planets, downsizing is the only way humanity will survive.

Funny how alcohol addicts are allowed to participate in society normally though while no one in any high paying job is allowed to smoke a joint.
