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.
Yeah, gotta have that and all that Secure Boot with TPM bullshit, because I’m visualizing a company workstation and nothing will work without those.
Because for some reason, no matter what I try, Windows 10 desktop is laggy as hell on Qemu, and smooth out of the box on VirtualBox.
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.
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).
No, it is insane. I don’t know of other countries that allow a corporation to just not allow you to sue them and force you into arbitration.
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.
That’s not really on Valve though.
It’s the hardware makers that needs to step up and make sure their Linux drivers are well written.
I’m tired of having to install patched kernels to get basic functionality on laptops (looking at you Asus!).
I’d mention that if they allowed me to even access the front page from my country. :)
Japanese publishers’ idea of fighting against manga piracy: kill all legal options and launch their own website that is only available in USA (kmanga).
Gee, I wonder why that didn’t work!
Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.
