And 54 cents a month is more than the ad revenue generated by a non-premium user running adblock, hence Google would prefer it.

It’s certainly the option Google would prefer, which essentially always means it’s unethical.

No, this isn’t something you can expect.

There used to be a distro called Gallium OS, but it’s been dead for a couple years now.

There are actually Chromebooks with very solid specs, but no, it isn’t that simple. They have custom firmware and components that often don’t play well with Linux, or Windows for that matter.

Every accusation is an admission.

There are bugged quests, glitched cameras and abruptly disappointed dialogue aplenty in the back half of the game, for sure. Mind sharing your complete game settings? And are you overclocking or something? I’m genuinely astounded by the performance you’re getting and would like to try to recreate.

Yeah, I went back and tried it again yesterday, fully updated. I have no idea how anyone is getting 30 FPS on steam deck in act 3, unless they’re in the camp or something.

Glad I could brighten your day, friend :) Thanks for sharing

Gotta assume those BG3 Steam Deck numbers are gonna tank as people get into acts 2 and 3. Act 1 runs quite well on deck, but no amount of low settings or disabled features provides an acceptable level of performance.

Linux seriously needs to figure out laptop battery life. Not much chance of going mainstream when installing it means a 50% drop in your battery life. Until then, I’ll use Linux on my desktop and just disable all the adware spam shit in Windows on my laptop.

Anyone who wants AC Mirage and Nightingale? Anyone who supports disrupting the duopoly that, driven by corporate greed, has effectively priced the “budget card” out of existence over the last decade? Those 2 are just off the top of my head.

If I was in the market for a GPU, I’d probably buy Intel Battlemage on principle. At least then I can criticize the current state of the GPU industry without being hypocritical.

Imagine cracking a game that’s already on gog lmao

Lucky, or in Elmo’s case, born with a platinum spoon in his mouth thanks to daddy’s apartheid emerald mines.
