Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

    Achievement is an achievement, not baseline. It’s something outstanding, something more.

    I hate achievements that are like 'finish chapter" for each chapter. That’s baseline. That’s basic. That’s no achievement until we talk about game that is hard from get go, built as a challenge from ground up.




  • I upvote things that required effort or present seemingly honest thoughts that are are not dismissive against anyone. This includes jokes, L takes, W takes, anything.

    I don’t downvote much. Mostly when people engage in demagogy or don’t read post/comment they respond to, as I hate with a passion both weaponised ignorance and twisting words.

    If I don’t agree with a post or comment, IMO there is already function for that and it’s called reply. Maybe I am the one in the wrong after all, downvoting and moving on won’t let me check.

    Also hi. You decided to do this after responding to me. Have an upvote for effort shown ;p

    Terraria. Hate me.

    I am not the fan of looking up guides and other info out of the game, and I also kiiiinda suck in full sandbox due to, generally, not being good at setting my own targets.

    Like give me some final task and I am happy to work towards it, but with no target whatsoever I am kinda lost.

    However, last I played Terraria was decade ago so stuff may have changed. xD





  • If that’s the trend of the franchise I sure won’t be touching any of the later ones.

    Good news! It’s prolly not. In an interview I’ve read quite some time ago, creators said that they hit a silly problem of not having path of improving the game because everything works and…well, not much to add.

    So instead they experiment slightly with each version, making small changes every time to create another “flavor” of Civ.





  • Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.

    I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and freeze, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.

    But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.

    I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.



  • On the other hand…the same private entity wouldn’t buy the means to produce renewable power if they didn’t want to power their AI center. So in the ends, nothing changes, and the power couldn’t be used for other purposes because it simply wouldn’t be generated.

    However, as they did and are using it to promote themselves, they are influencing others to also adopt renewable energy policy in a way, no matter how small.

    No, normally I am not that optimistic, but I am trying ^^"



  • First of all, thanks for all the tips. I tried Sarek back on Nobara, didn’t seem to do much. Then I spent a bunch of hours installing Cachy instead, now on it, works faster than Nobara, nice. And Sarek is built into their proton version, so doubly nice.

    Sadly, Hogwart is still no go for me. Probably will still reinstall Windows to finish Hogwarts legacy ( I really got into it :| ) and then we’ll see. But sure as hell I feel more prepared for my jump to linux now.

    I also tried checking the power state with commands you gave me and they failed. With ls’sing drm I found out card was instead card1 (…why?), but I lack pstate. Had power_state, that show only one record with cat which was D0. Whatever it may be. :| Maybe some CachyOS thing? Not sure. Found also /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power directory with “control” file, but cat’ing that shown only one line auto. So I am out of ideas and too scared to try something weird with it xD

    Updoot: Found out in nvidia app that I should have two performance settings, with one vastly higher. I can OC my card in this menu, but cannot change performance mode so kinda afraid. Found out about and installed gamemode, then hooked it up in Heroic Launcher. Hogwarts still isn’t talking, but seems to work better before crashing? So other games at least should work smoother.



  • All my games work like shit :(

    And it’s kindof my fault because my hardware is outdated but while on Windows Hogwarts Legacy worked, in pain but worked, and Fallout 76 was fully stable and smooth.

    On linux (Nobara), Hogwarts CTD’s on startup (shaders or something fails) and I had to lower setting in fallout to get it stable enough to play.

    Bit I just began my adventure with linux as main OS so there’s still a lot to learn. One of stabilising things for Fallout was, for example, forcing dx12. Without it it froze my whole os sometimes. :(

    Oh and KDEConnect reports it crashed for some reason if it cannot immediately connect to my phone. Which was funny until notification spam.


    1. I wonder how many enemies Dell made with that lol
    2. AI chatbots work as customer side if implemented well (if chatbot does not have options, it won’t work well) and if customers don’t knee-jerk into repeating they want human without checking it’s options first (which, understandably, came from dealing with badly implemented chatbots). Their search is quite alright for polling public opinions (useful for example if you are lazy and wanna find overall popular film from some genre - it can summarise reddit, google, few review sites and spit the effects at you).

    I know, I know. We are anti-AI here. But please, don’t be simply cynic. This tech has it’s uses, but is so badly used across everything that it’s hard not to be negative of it.
