I really like what I see , and icefrog has been working on it for a long time. If he's involved then I'm interested, the man created the moba genre and IMO the best moba on the market.

That's fair, just tired of explaining shit to uninformed windows fanboys that don't understand what they're talking about.

Want low latency audio production? There's a distro with a low latency kernel for that.

Need a hyper focused gaming distro? Guess what, there's a distro for that.

You want something so easy to use that even your tech illiterate grandparents can't fuck their PC with something as stupid as updates? Well what do you know, there's a distro for that as well with immutable OS's that look and feel like Windows.

Windows fanboys spew bullshit like ease of use and not breaking their shit when they click buttons, but the reality is Linux is no different, it can be as easy or as difficult to use and break as you want.

The sad bullshit fact is if you use Windows, your PC is Microsoft's and not yours, if you use Linux your PC is yours to control, and nothing hits that home like bullshit advertisements on your start menus and settings app.

I don't think you understand how much I don't give a shit that you have an "ultimate gaming PC" just lying there...I gave you options, take em or leave em, but ultimately you're choosing not to do a damn thing about it and will just keep eating Microsoft Windows ads with every update. At least an Xbox is kind of expected to have ads since it's somewhat subsidized. As for group dynamics, if your friends won't try other games with you, sounds like you need better friends.

Where did I say dlss is inferior? I've used them both, dlss is better quality yeah, fsr has better frame generation with less latency. Fsr isn't as good, it gets the job done though and is available on literally everything unlike Nvidia. If you have Nvidia use dlss, if not use fsr, if you hate yourself then use XeSS.

Get an Xbox then and use m/KB with crossplay. Or play better games, apex runs through proton, get them to play that instead. Anyone switching away from cod is a good deed.

Don't play league, it's filled with psychological bullshit tricks to get you to keep playing. If you have to play a moba play dota 2, it's just a better game.

I actually feel bad for people on windows 11. People, please just switch to Linux already. There just isn't any real reason to stay on it anymore, and if you do you've got some ridiculous bullshit niche setup that 0.1% of people use. And for people on Nvidia just grab that Nvidia pop_os ISO for that idiot proof setup, seriously, there are no more excuses and it's really not any more difficult to use than Windows. Don't listen to people saying you have to open a terminal to do anything either, that's a straight up fucking lie, and if you really have to, then copy/paste is all you need to know.

If you have to use rtx and dlss to justify your overpriced graphics card, then there's AMD fsr that can be forced on damn near any game you want, it's not as good but it gets the job done, as for Ray tracing, come on...be real with yourself for 5 minutes, what game other than control has use Ray tracing in any meaningful way other than to look pretty?

Windows is just not worth the hassle anymore, wake the fuck up people.

What is even going on at Sony right now? They don't have any games announced for release that look even remotely interesting, and they laid off 8% of their workforce which includes these guys and now they're standing up a new studio to make the same thing the shutdown studio was making. I have more faith in Sony to make a proper game these days than Microsoft but both companies seem to be struggling. Helldivers 2 is the best game Sony has released this year.

I feel like this is Bioware's hail Mary, the fact is they dug up this franchise from the dead after anthem flopped and probably want to make a game in an established franchise that they felt they could deliver a successful product. I hope it turns out great, I love Bioware games, been a fan for a very long time and the Bioware name deserves more recognition than what people give it these days. They don't even have the comfort of swtor to give them a little side revenue anymore since they had to sell that off. Hopefully this game turns out as good as they hope it does, I know I will play it if it's good.

Yeah this is bullshit. They wanted the IP's and nothing more. Situations like this remind me of something that Marty O'Donnell said when that Bungie/Activision lawsuit happened. He said something along the lines of they have to own their IP's because it's the one thing a studio has that's holds value.

They want to be a cloud gaming provider and sell Xbox fire TV sticks instead of consoles, with controllers that connect directly to the azure server running their games. Why do you think Nvidia and the UK weren't happy with Microsoft a few years ago and they made so many deals with cloud gaming providers like boosteroid and GeForce now?

Microsoft turned every Windows PC into an Xbox overnight with XCloud and they had little to no overhead costs. That's where their business is right now, cloud and AI, not gaming, Xbox will take a backseat and I'm going to bet we will see them transition from a console maker to simply publisher that conveniently sells a cloud TV stick that can play games.

Currently have a 6a, the fingerprint sensor was garbage when I first got it but Google really did some work to improve it over the years. It's not perfect but it works.

Enhance, embrace, extinguish. That's the Microsoft way, their success has always and will always be built off the backs of others they've fucked over.

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to use some proprietary connector to dock it to an external GPU enclosure on some kind of thunderbolt bus. It's kind of a Nintendo way of making a series S and series X.

Hmmm it's almost like Jim Ryan was on to something when he said gamepass wasn't good for the industry and publishers didn't like it during the antitrust trial with Microsoft.

It blows my fucking mind how stupid some people are just to be able to play the next rehashed bullshit CoD on gamepass instead of paying $70 a year for the same garbage.

Come on now, that's not just a Google problem and you know it, no need to shit on Google for something damn near every tech company does. Google does their fair share of shitty things, this isn't really one of them.

So did they just drop PlayStation altogether? I have the client for this game on my PS5 from their crossplay open beta that didn't work.

Well isn't that what FOSS provides for us thought? The ability to control everything the software does and we own the content being shown. If we choose to block that content then that's our right, if threads chooses to allow everything under the sun there's nothing we can do about it but wait for Facebook to do it for us.

This is why the whole situation exists, IMO if there was a reason to believe China is trying to influence united states citizens, then this wouldn't even be a discussion. There are probably hundreds of Chinese companies that operate in the US, why is tik tok signaled out? Because there's probably a reason they're being singled out. It might be nothing, but I'm inclined to think that the people who signed the bill know more than what they're letting on for national security reasons.

It's also a subscription based search engine. After Neeva imploded I'm not going to be investing money into a subscription search service.
