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.
I’m about to get a chance to try it on a different pc (M5A am3 with a Titan X), but on a x79 motherboard and a 1080ti, that doesn’t work. After installing that, I do get the Nvidia x server but when I open the program, it’s an empty window and something is obviously broken. I installed Arch on the same pc and it was even easier to get Nvidia drivers working than on Ubuntu.
It’s a lot harder to get Nvidia drivers working on Debian than any other distro I’ve tried including Arch. Every issue besides that one I’ve ever had in Debian, I was able to fix.
Wow I feel old now. 7 years? Already? In my mind No Man’s Sky is still a “new” game.
The versions still make me reluctant to try rust. I’m sure it’s reliable in theory but I’m always getting cockblocked when someone’s python project doesn’t work because of dependencies and different versions. I once remade a python 3d object format converter in c++ because that was easier than a) fixing whatever dependency and runtime version shenanigans or b) using whatever bullshit ass Windows-only propriety software most people used to make that file conversion
Self hosted, or it doesn’t exist
As the enshitification of the internet continues, this is going to start becoming more and more the case for me
On reddit, if your karma is too low you’re not allowed to participate in most communities.
Tech paranoid all the way, although not the same type of tech paranoid as Luke Smith. The only good computer is one you have the hardware schematics to (i.e. virtually none of them). Thinkpads are just another brand of overpriced laptop. Besides the occasional steam game, I heavily prefer FOSS only and will flat out refuse almost anything that has drm. My unlocked bootloader android phone is so heavily locked down with privacy stuff that I cause Google to lose money merely by existing.
Wtf is this dystopian shit holy fuck things are out of control
Some arm sbc computers have schematics available. Could someone with equipment for bga components and a means of making pcbs theoretically make a backdoorless one and use it to do all the illegal stuff they want?
There are open source x86s now but homebrewers are just now getting around to making barely working, not even good 386 and 486 stuff so it’ll be a long ass time before open source x86 stuff becomes more viable.
