It’s not even about the lower specs, it’s the optimization in general.
My PC is a little old, but still fine for most games up to medium settings.
But when I tried FF XVI, which is mentioned in the article, I couldn’t get anything close to acceptable performance with everything turned as low as possible and looking like shit.
Sure you can. wink wink 🏴☠️
I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn’t really a market for used games.
Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.
It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.
Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.
The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.
One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.
That’s a very… capitalist way of thinking.
Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn’t apply to them, because they said so!
It’s not, corporations’ bad faith interpretation of the law doesn’t make it legal.

Well, “not to be confused”, but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.
For anyone that, like me, was confused what the hell is this language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_English
Seems to be proper name for the kind of language a stereotypical black character in a movie would use.
Can’t say about real world, since I don’t live in the USA.
You know what else is unsafe? Letting Windows force the auto-update and break your bootloader (and that’s just their latest fuck-up).
Heh, I was confused because I switched full-time to Wayland a while ago and that was never an issue for any game… but then you mentioned Nvidia. RIP
I saw they switched recently to partially open source drivers, so hopefully it’s gonna be better for you soon.
I’m currently using KZones, actually, it’s not automatic, but it works pretty great.
If you’re still on X11. Krohnkite didn’t support Wayland all that well last time I checked.
We do have them.
Most popular DEs already support tiling with extensions (Gnome and KDE).
KDE actually added native support, although pretty limited so far.
Right, that’s why I’m not convinced this will ever actually release.
Abandoning all previous work, and the fact that new devs don’t exactly have experience with this genre…
I’m still gonna give it a try, but I’m not hopeful.
I’m surprised it’s not cancelled yet.
I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.
Yeah… I wonder if it’s the same story here - devs trying to interpret the rules in their own special way and Google putting their foot down.
EDIT: as far as I can tell they kept referral links in the Google Play version and still claim to have no ads or tracking.
I guess they’re still lying.
Just… do it? It’s just a normal Linux underneath.
