Thanks! I checked my wishlist earlier this week but maybe it was before the summer sale or something. Either way, appreciate the heads up!

Oh, that’s Witcher 2: Ice Road Witcher.

Oh man. Once you get some of the higher level fighting moves that games can just be a ballet of rend and slice.

I’m really hoping for an armored core 6 sale soon!

Because we’re more akin to LLMs than we might be comfortable to admit. Or at least parts of us, subsystems of our psyches… Brains are belief engines more than they are objective parsers of reality.

Odd. I retired from arch to Manjaro. I’m baffled at the depiction of it being difficult. It’s been a smooth 6 years so far…and yes, Nvidia.

Wow fuckin’ wooosh with you and that one hey? Only a very weak beta would feel even remotely attacked by that movie. Good luck Chuck!

Also my axe, additionally.

Hmmm…

Looks like:

• AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
• on an Asus ROG STRIX B550-I
• 32GB DDR4 @ 2666
• 3070 RTX

Honestly, it’s possible that I just don’t notice low framerate as I’m a product of the Atari/NES gen of console gamers; my standards may be co-opted. I’m just reporting that my experience has been positive. Fair to say though that Wayland is still hit and miss, and still is. I general avoid it and stick to x while using steam, and tinker around with it when X’s idiosyncracies bother me enough. Nvidia in general just hasn’t picked my berries like it seems to have for others. Certainly not enough to ever make me retreat to a windows install 😁

Really? I’m having a very dissimilar experience, and am also on Manjaro. Drivers were a peach to install and I get at least as good as performance on windows…to the extent that the dual boot has (over the years) become just a single boot. I’m even running a valve index on it - Alyx runs smooth. Built in 2019.

TBH I’m surprised at a lot of these threads about Nvidia as it’s just been a few times that the drivers didn’t work out on an update and I had a black screen. But I’ve had almost as many breaking issues from non Nvidia related stuff in its lifetime.

That’s reason #1 why I’ve never, and never will, use that ogre’s taint of a service.

This was one of like…3 games on steam I refunded. I was immediately bored and found the gameplay hugely frustrating.

I’m glad you liked it but personally, I feel quick time events are an unsavory vehicle to base the nearly the entirety of your character building off of. I dislike them in action games, here they were hell.

That’s relatable pain. So far I’ve had a stable 5ish years, and only had 2 issues, one being my own tomfoolery with some KDE config, the other being Nvidia, and I don’t gotta tell you kids about Nvidia and Linux, regardless of distro…

ETA: endeavour looks really slick too, thx for broadening my world. Probably need to justify a wipe of a laptop to try that out.

It’s literally the distro that stopped my distro hopping. Manjaro’s freaking fantastic.
