The evidence is coming in at least as far as I can see COVID was a godsend to the Democrats during 2020. It is always a godsend for any political or power hungry group that wants POWER. You are very likely correct. There will likley be a major shake up after this bullshit. While the fires are going they are going on vacation and trying to throw everyone else under the bus. Way to go. Seriously? WTF. Take care of business first. I've seen some fringe Democrats stating that the party lost their mind. They are correct. (one was a transwoman talking to some British interviewers. I forget the name. If I recall correctly she was an elected official) They need to get back to some basic common sense and take care of the basics first before they attempt to lobotomize the US. This is all just a slow moving train wrek.

Yep I am not interested either. I have used Nvidia cards for years since the GTX670 era. My needs have changed and AMD is a better choice. Just popped it here for those that might be interested in some of the hype and what is being said as some people will use Nvidia cards regardless. At least they aren't as crazy about their cost for the new cards. On a side note I use a 2k monitor and even a 1080ti generation is more than good enough to play all my games very well. In fact it played Cyberpunk better than those that bought the 20 gen specifically for that game. It was way more stable. Sure didn't get some of the fancy lighting but it still looked good and played well. I currently have a 3070ti and it works well. I got that when I bought a prebuilt because I was lazy. It came with the unit. Since upgraded the other hardware but haven't done so with the graphics card because to be blunt. even cheep cards now can do really good job with the games. As long as you keep to the real gaming versions not the sub 100 dollar ones. Even those can do a decent job but not at greater than 1080 p. The video i posted on the linux thread with a really cheap APU (processor / GPU) from AMD was doing pretty good using Linux and no dedicated graphics card. Had to turn down some of the settings to get it to have decent FPS but it was playable. Including Cyberpunk.

Bazzite example of OS and a simple build. Cheap and functional. No Windoze tax. https://docs.bazzite.gg/General/Installation_Guide/

Sad if true. He did make sense. I'd be happy if there was a limited application for Steam os. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2025/01/11/with-steamos-expanding-beyond-steam-deck-is-it-game-over-for-bazzite/ Oh, not all is lost. Lots of what is being developed by Steam and other companies are being released to the public so that it can be added to other linux distros that will allow better support for your gaming sessions. Just reminder that the newest and greatest hardware and evne games might have some issues upon release. A good excuse to wait for a good sale for a tasty game you want to play. Or have a spare windoze computer (or duel boot ) to get those itches taken care of.

As I understand it. You can now use Windows for free. There are some limitations like can't change the desktop but you can use it and game with it. For those games that need windows (anticheet for online games) @Doublezero you will be even more happy that windows reminded you to upgrade to Linux. I have heard through the grapevine that Steam OS (Linux based on Arch Linux a version of linux for those that might want to know) is going to release a public version of their OS like the one that they use on the Steam Deck. Which plays many games that are "windowze" games. A greater push like this h asn't happened that I am aware of in more than a decade since Wine was created for linux. Soon many other gamers will be "remided" to upgrade to linux as well. Here comes the penquin! LOL

That is what happens when you put DEI in front of common sense. They failed in cleaning up and creataing fire breaks. They have sent equipment to Ukraine from an article I heard about. It was "Old". No intent on replacing it. They are so bad that another article stated that State Farm and other insurance companies were removing themselves from California. Not covering the areas. A company that wants to make money would have no problem having there company there IF the GOVERMENT did their job!

I hate when I am correct. The rest was just as shitty and the same and even worse. Assult, threats, and all matter of illegal actions that if it was done to the wrong person would likely end up with them being in the hospital or even worse. I heard that one of those jackasses that like doing these things for video views ended up shot and almost lost their life. I believe the name was Jack something. (My mind fucking refuses to remember the entire name of someone that fucking stupid and that doesn't deserve to have any sort of freedom and should be put in an institutaion. )

Who cares about work and real life responsiblities!

Well a couple of seconds in to the video the guy looks like someone that would at least spend a night in jail. That was assult. I am positive the rest will be just as shitty.

Hey, download it and spend an afternoon playing with it. See what it has to offer Kendo Who cares if it changes when they release it so long as you can still use the demo. Might be better and easier for your work. (Yes, I am not helping either. lol)

Steam OS?

Well. For thsoe that don't know three are three main systems in Linux. They use the same Kernel but have some slight command differences. They use different I'd say names but the format is thte same. Hard to explain. Example sudo apt update is Debian. sudo pacman update is Arch. I don't remember what Fedora/Red Hat does. There are different ones than the ones I mentioned above but the three are the main ones. The ones that a newer person should stick with until they really know better or have a really specific case need to use something else. The commands mentioned above is a simple command you use to update your system. Note: this updates the programs and OS that you have from my understanding. sudo apt upgrade is a command where you get the newer version of the apps and such. Big difference especially for Arch . There are versions that last a set number of years like Windows and there are rolling releases that constantly give you the newest and greatest. Rolling releases can cause problems as something might not be fully updated or there might be an unknonwn or a know issue that they are working on. Not a problem for someone that can roll back easily but can be a pain for someone that isn't that good with linux. There are also immutable OSs that you update the entire OS (small download) when there is an update. You use sandboxed apps and if there is any problem there is a simple command and you can roll back to a previous OS edition. Think about Windoze when it gives you a major update that has a version number. When it fucks things up. You have to go in and dig through and find out which part screwed your OS. With a immutable OS just one command and reboot later and you are off to the races. I have used Silver Blue from Fedora. It was quite good and I only moved to Mint as i could'n't use some of the apps I needed (without layering. That is another whole thing something you shouldn't need to get into and actually not advised by the developers. There is alot of information on this ont he web. Way better explainations that I have given.

It was more fun talkingn about linux on the Windows page. lol

Another option for those moving to Linux is an Atomic desktop. It is a inmmutable OS meaning can't be changed (the key parts). It also can be updated easier without package (program) issues as each item is seperate and its own thing. I've used Silverblue and it was excellent. ONly reason I moved from it is I needed some tools that wasn't available and or easily implemented using an immutable OS. @Doublezero If you have any issues with Mint try one of these. Like Silver blue. The commands are slightly different but it is super stable. One command and your entire OS (imagine Windows) can be turned back while leaving your documents and programs exactly the way they were. So good.

@Doublezero A list of things you might want to see. YOu or anyone else that wants to do this. It might be slightly out of date but the basics are pretty much there. This guy went from changing from windoze to linux to creating his own custom destops later. (A short time later. ) If I am not mistaken he did admin for Linux before becoming a full Linux user.

Keep on posting these excellent updates @endgameaddiction. Hopefully they continue and even develop more the sandbox. If they do, this might be an excellent replacement for TES and Fallout. Based on some of the post you made. It seems to be easier to work and implement the mods and scripts etc. That is if they don't start to lock down the system once they release the game. Update: I checked out the video. Nice work by her. I sub to her channel and gave a thumbs up to encourage great work. She doesn't have many videos but hopefully she will continue working and developing her presence. ^ Legit. Hopefully this isn't the case. However, with all the bullshit that is happening with gaming these days, one can't be sure. Regardless of how great the dev team and producer seems to be. Even iif released and it is great. chances are someone will come in and buy the company and turn it to shit. They start hiring bullshit employees that will do it from the inside. Shit like that. Just like Avoid (:P ) the game looked great and was getting good reviews and tracktion until they showed their true face and true product that is nothing but . I buy games and stuff like that with my cash back. (when someone isn't giving it to me as a birthday or christmas gift) I have done this to over a hundred of games. I had $$$ planed for Avoid but as soon as I learned the true shit the company is and the game is... I went and paid for a year of Paramount + instead lol. No games this f***ing year for me. Fortunatly last year had some decent games that can be played in the mean time.

I'm afraid I can't help you there. You are just screwed.

Once I saw the art director and his rants and bullshit. I was turned off. this time so much that I made sure that relatives that would buy me a game for a gift (I am hard to buy for) wouldn't buy that game at all. It is so off putting that I don't care as of right now if it was on sale for 5 dollars to purchase it. I suspect many other gamers that are avid gamers that would put down the money for games on day one or, as much as I would advise against it, purchase preorders. Attacking the core heavy gamers that would eat up a game like this is totally the most fucking stupid thing I can think of. All he had to do is keep is fucking mouth shut and talk about some game play and deflect from the pronouns and other shit and some might have bought the game. More than they are now. Hell it appears that Ass in Pee'd (yes I intended to spell it that way ) is doing so much better and they offended an entire culture! If I was an major investor I would want that guys head on a platter for such supidity. Fire his ass.

Get a browser that you don't normally use and do the Discord. Just that one. It sounds like it might be useful in this situation. Create a disposible discord that you only use tor that. I know discord can be complete shit and such but sometimes it can be a useful tool. I have alternate discords as well. I also have a browser (hell an entire computer ) to do shit that I wouldn't do on my main computer. You can also just install a linux in a virtual machine and have it only do the discord. They can't see anything but what is on that VM. (Still can see your IP but that can be fixed with a free VPN or something like that) There are ways to get what you want without dealing or h aving that shit on your main machine is all I am saying. I have an old Intel Mac that I do some Apple shit on. Not much now but it can be used. (Note to self I need to setup open core so that I can update the OS lol) A chromebook that I do Google shit on. A low end laptop that I do this stuff on. Posting here and other gaming sites. and a main gaiming rig that has alt accounts that I use for my general public gaming and such. @Doublezeroperhaps we should setup a section for this game? Maybe @endgameaddictioncan start some quick easy tutorials for those that are interested in the game. Another cool thing maybe is a site server from someone here that can set it up for us to play in. ( I assume it is like Conan and has a private server option. ... yes, I was lazy and didn't check lol) @endgameaddictionthanks for all the updates on the game.

Once it gets done or really large, it will likely be sold. If not now, later when the developers get older and/or get bord of the project and decide or get other more interesting offers.
