  • gaming has really been flawless, in my experience, the past year on proton.

    I had a lot of issues playing games in the past, that were usually resolved with proton updates or switching to GE Proton… but the past year? I’ve had zero issues playing anything. The past hear has been so smooth as to, honestly, make me forget I’m playing on linux from time to time.

    The only real issue I have left is fooling around in single player games (Which i have beaten many times and just futzing around in to play with, and NOT in any way impacting any kind of online play… hell, the games I’m futzing around in don’t even have online components) with cheat engine/save editors/etc… For some reason recently cheat engine/pince has stopped working, even on games i used to use it on, and cant seem to even find the game memory addresses anymore… and trying to get windows based save editors and stuff installed has been kinda painful… and certain mods, like for Cyberpunk, I’ve never gotten to work. Minor side issues most people wont ever run into. Which is why its understandably still difficult. get shit running like butter, than worry about edge cases and shit like this.






  • Black friday used to actually be good. but like everything good, corporate greed ruined it.

    It became a week long event, then a month long event, then companies figured out if they slightly hurt sales in late october/november by doubling prices, they could massively increase sales for black friday, and make those sales at near normal retail pricing too thanks to JCPennying.

    I still shop black friday when I can. not to buy into marketing hype, or to buy something for its normal price and think I got an amazing deal, but because I hope to find something i actually need in a discount price I can actually afford. . . Which is getting rarer and rarer with each passing year.
