Does installing the Proton BattlEye runtime do anything?

I don’t play many games that use it, but for Ark you have to install a separate BattlEye.

IIRC the replacement doesn’t even require any soldering or de-soldering. Just pull the connector off the motherboard and slide the new one on.

Pretty sure 99% of the problems that the NES had were due to the shitty cartridge connector. It’s a very simple part and easy to replace. You can buy off-brand replacements now and fix it yourself. It’s not that surprising that they had a ton of spare parts for that.

Totally optional features that come set up by default are not really optional unless they’re opt-in from the start. Most users are not savvy enough to figure out how to disable that kind of stuff.

Depends what you mean by good. Is it silly pointless fun? Yes it is.

Is it deep, compelling gameplay with a lot of replayability? No.

It plays kind of like Untitled Goose Game in a way. Short themed sections with vague goals.

What about summer leaks?

Is your scaling set to something other than 100%? That seems to mess with gamescope and mouse location detection or something like that.

On desktop, you can copy/paste images into the textbox.

It’s certainly possible, but AFAIK their objections have been about piracy and copyright infringement. At least I haven’t read or heard anything about trade secrets being at issue.

This only applies to trademarks and the risk of genericization. You don’t lose copyrights that way.

The transcript is typed by a stenographer, so good luck reading it anyway.

The Doom engine didn’t have diffusing lights, only ambient light on a per-sector basis. Ray tracing doesn’t make sense in-engine unless you change how the lighting as a whole works.

In the OG engine, you can’t have a lit floor and a dark ceiling, for example. And objects in a dark area can’t be lit up by a light source from a bright area. The transition between lighting zones are hard cutoffs, and the maps were designed with this feature in mind.

If you want to add raytracing, you probably have to change the lighting from sector-based to source-based. That will inevitably change the vibe of some parts of the game.

The poophole loophole usually means something different. They say anal sex doesn’t count as “losing your virginity.” So they can have all the premarital sex they want, as long as it’s in the pooper.

To be fair though, according to the book he did like everything during that one week.

Don’t say that to a French chef, it’ll get you murdered.

(in a timely fashion, actually),

I bought two things. One of them had a message saying “Guaranteed by (X date) or you get a $5 credit.” Obviously that was the one item that showed up late. Sure enough, I get a $5 credit, followed by a bunch of emails on how I can get five or ten times the value out of my $5 credit.

Look into the local tree law before you do anything stupid. It could cost you a ton of money, and possibly criminal charges depending on where you live.

I would look for the next generation of GPU if you can find it. You should be able to find an RX 7600 for about the same price, and would get better performance and longer expected useful lifetime from it.

The one-PC-two-users thing is indeed more of a gimmick than an actually useful prospect. You can find videos of it being done, but it’s really not as nice as one would hope for.

I used the Arch wiki to get gamescope working on Pop OS. It’s a great resource regardless of your distro. In many cases the info on there is not even Arch-specific.
