Even on Windows, Proton drive is hot garbage. It never syncs my files correctly. Has a tendency to leave half encrypted uploads just lying around. Eating up desk space.

Don’t even get me started on how long it takes to upload anything. Got a 1 GB file? Good luck!

And that’s before getting into the fact that it’s proton’s third product. It was announced in 2019. 5 years and they still don’t have proton drive as a working product.

Another gripe I have is that the Linux VPN client still doesn’t support wireguard. Sure, you can download wireguard configuration files. And they work just fine. But changing servers is a pain in the ass because of it.

It’s made me seriously consider dropping my visionary plan and moving to a more competent provider.

That being said, proton mail has been fantastic. And I have a ton of domains on it. So it would be a pain to move. I guess I’m just in a stalemate.

Well, seeing that Insurgency: Sandstorm was on a sale, I just picked it up for him (and myself). Seems to have a lot in the map making scene, and that’s a really important factor for him.

It also helps that the prior Insurgency game has the most hours on his profile, by far. Gave me a good hint that he should enjoy this one.

Thanks so much!

EDIT: My dad just got back to me, and loves the gift. Apparently that’s where most of his online buddies went and still are. Nailed it!

Well that’s pretty compelling!

Ever since the failure of Windows mixed reality, there hasn’t been many non-Meta HMD’s worth buying. At least with inside out tracking.

Maybe this will finally pressure Valve to lower the price on the venerable Index? Probably not. But one can hope!

It’s just my client. Boost for Reddit doesn’t appear to show it correctly. It’s the opposite though. It just shows the text. Spoiling it for me.

I mean sure maybe 10 years ago. But most static sites like blogs and such can fit entirely on a cloudflare page worker under the free tier. Or heck, even the free allotment on AWS S3 or other object storage providers.

I mean, perhaps this isn’t a static site and it’s built on some sort of CMS and has a postgres database in the background. In that case it probably runs around $5 to $10 a month.

Of course, this all presumes that the person setting this up is fairly savvy about the offerings available. I see a lot of people making silly decisions in this space, thinking that they need some full fat virtual private server, when all they really need is an object storage bucket behind a DNS c-name.

I guess I didn’t really see the pressure that they were under.

I hope they heal! But it’s a bummer that such an excellent resource will be taken down.

I wish more creators were willing to hand their creations to someone who wishes to continue it. But oftentimes, I fear that it’s far too entwined with a person’s identity for that to be common occurrence.

I dunno, my OLED panel has some notable image retention issues - and a screensaver does appear to help in that regard.

Eh, I went back to screen savers due to my use of OLED panels. Better than a static lock-screen image for sure.

This article is ancient. We have more recent elections to go off of.

And according to basically everything I can find, “Moms For Liberty” and related groups suffered major losses basically everywhere the last cycle.

I’m not at all suggesting to not worry, after all, it’s worry that got us to ensure they didn’t win. But I am suggesting that your information is very out of date and that you should do a better job of finding recent points to support your claim.

Also, I think this is off topic for this community and seems far more like political bait as some have pointed out.

I agree. I think 1440p+HDR is probably the way to go for now. HDR is FAR more impactful than a 4K resolution and 1440p should provide a stable 45ish FPS on Cyberpunk 2077 completely maxed out on an RTX 3080Ti (DLSS Performance).

And in terms of CPU, the same applies. 16 cores are for the gentoo using, source compiling folks like me. 8 cores on a well binned CPU from the last 3 generations goes plenty fast for gaming. CPU bottlenecking only really show up at 144fps+ in most games anyways.

Agree, most mainstream distros have it all handled for the most part and it normally “just works”.

Now, myself on Gentoo testing on the other hand… Sometimes I shoot myself in the foot and forget to rebuild my kernel modules and wind up needing to chroot to fix things - all because I have an NVidia card.

I run a Stars Without Number game and I love it.

My favorite thing is that they are all inter-compatible. SWN/WWN/CWN are all essentially the same system and can be used interchangeably.

Sure, as @tissek mentioned, the system is pretty simple and the options for martial characters are a bit lackluster compared to other games, but that doesn’t stop us GM’s from homebrewing things. In fact, I think that’s where Sine Nomine RPG’s really shine, the ability to homebrew much of what you need and ready made resources to do it.

I’m rolling with a Halfling Rogue, it’s always the class I try to play first in D&D games and versions. I’m also surprised at the lack of Halflings in the stats!

My wife is playing a Githyanki the only race that’s less popular. Lol!

I forget, do the pathfinder games use v1 or v2? V1 was basically D&D 3.5 in most ways.

Either way, if you haven’t played it, you should put Pathfinder Kingmaker on deck for after BG3

Forever GM’s unite! (But like, once we get the schedule finalized /s)

Yeah, this is probably the best D&D game in existence now. It definitely has some pretty fun mechanics and a lot of depth that other D&D vidya games just lack.
