Grrrrr

very tempted. i have the money, but i should probably save it until i can get fully on my own feet lol

Yee. Currently I dual boot, doing most things on Linux, but I still have a windows partition available lol.

And then some games are just buggy. FFXIV, for example, has flickering light sources. Sometimes it’s barely noticeable, but it feels like there’s something off.

I have, yes. The NVIDIA performance issue is a bug in the DXVK software used by proton and wine to translate directx calls into Vulkan calls (since directx is Microsoft-exclusive).

In DX12 games, there’s a bug where it causes about a 20% performance drop

>:(

Online, people will just say whatever to get more attention. It helps that they can hide behind their screen and avoid any repercussions.

Don’t let them convince you of anything. If it sounds like what they’re saying is extreme or unreasonable, it probably isn’t real.

Fwiw, I lived in Canada last year, and I generally understood it that no one there blames Americans as a whole. Like if you’re open about being part of the problem, then they will, but generally the response to people finding out I am a USAmerican was “I’m sorry.”

Genuinely wish OpenAI never happened. Living would be less chaotic.

It’s genuinely sad. Corporations have never cared for the artist, only the result. The development of image generators only highlights this.

As long as artists continue to draw, though, I (and many more) will continue to support y’all.

I love Linux. Main drawbacks rn is gpu performance (with NVIDIA, at least) and I can’t indulge my league addiction lol
