ah yes, every time they want to do something abhorrent, they cry “its for the children!” to immediately try and silence any critics.

6700 is indeed a decent GPU for anything you want to play.

but your FX processor is so old that it cant keep up, Its bottlenecking the hell out of you. I bet you arent even hitting 50% of the capability of the GPU with such an old CPU.

I dont want to tell you to go and spend hundreds of dollars to buy a new mobo/cpu/ram… but theres no tweaking, editing, or anything, you can do to make a 13 year old CPU keep up with modern software.

Either gonna have to accept limitations and only play much older games, or invest in new CPU/MOBO/RAM… Which is a bad time to be doing that because ram prices are like 300% higher than what they should be, and continuing to climb, thanks to AI. . . if you do upgrade, I’d suggest picking up at least the ram used, if not the whole bunch.

So what? I’m at work and I don’t have the mental energy to address all this shit, on top of my job duties.

Guy spends time arguing pure bullshit and propaganda, but doesnt have the mental energy to handle being called out and suddenly pretends hes such a poor, oppressed victim.

what a fuckin joke, lol.

yeah, if you’re interests are super narrow then yeah it wouldnt be good for you.

i mean… you can pause your month and skip the shit you have no interest in…

I think in 10 years of being subscribed I’ve only felt the need to do it like…twice? i think

i almost never buy games on steam itself anymore…Even on the steam sales. The sales are a poor imitation of the great values that they were 10+ years ago, and quite frankly…the quality of games coming out isnt what it was 10+ years ago, either.

I subscribe to Humble Monthly and, eventually, get almost every game I’ve ever wanted.

Weird you gotta spew blatant lies and misinformation just to service corpo dick.

Plenty of multiplayer games and MMOs are playable on linux. and they prove you don’t need invasive, spyware level access for anticheat.

Yep, and since it has both system ram AND dedicated gddr graphics ram… its gonna be double dipped in the price gouging by the memory manufacturers

Yeah, I agree.

I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.

He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.

iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.

Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.

having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years

It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

With all of that being said, it seems to me it’s very likely it will be around 800 but less than 1000

maybe more with the way ram prices are skyrocketing… because even though it comes out next year, they are probably being manufactured and stockpiled right now.

I assume this is something that will be a flag during compile or something, and only useful for asus hardware, and not something every one will have in all kernels on all hardware?

If you have humble monthly, you already own Warhammer III, as its in this months choice bundle.

oh noooo, what am I gonna do if I cant play the game that typically involves me being chased by heavily armed end game players, screaming racial slurs at me for no good goddamn reason other than sociopathy?

I guess I’ll just have to console myself with the thousand other games that run perfectly fine because their devs arent self absorbed fuckwads.

Yep.

Just cause it doesnt affect you, doesnt mean it wont eventually have an effect on you.

Lots of people shrugging their shoulders and going “Why should I care about spying? I’ve got nothing to hide” are exactly why we are where we are right now.

No, with a VPN the only thing your ISP sees is you connecting to a VPN server IP.

But browser finger printing, on the other hand, can identify you to every website you visit, due to info your browser hands over to every website… Such as OS version, Resolution, installed Plugins, browser settings, geolocation info, etc…which is often unique enough to identify you out of the whole of the internet.

Ironically, locking your browser down with more security features/settings/plugins often makes you more identifiable. Cause capitalism is god damned sure they are gonna track you and monetize the hell out of your information, whether its via your name, your user name, or just your digital fingerprint.

might also want to check kernel version too… gaming distros like bazzite tend to update the kernal version more aggressively than a regular desktop distro, and since his GPU is only a few months old, that could make a difference

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

You would not believe the amount of mods the GameGear has, my dude.

and they are expensive as fuck, lol

np, good luck with it, if you try to pick it up.

Its a great skillset to have, even at a basic beginner level… Once you get comfortable with a soldering iron, so many dead electronics suddenly can be repaired for cheap instead of replaced… You have no idea how many TVs I’ve saved just from the dump just with capacitor replacements alone.
