  • They're meaning a model with SteamOS preinstalled. They don't want to pay an extra $200 on it if a SteamOS model will be released for $200 less than the Windows model. They're putting Bazzite on it regardless of whether they get a Windows model or if they buy a SteamOS model if/when that comes out.

  • So, when I think "emulation" I usually consider it to be software emulating a hardware device (e.g. the original Gameboy, audio cards for legacy programmes that required audio cards, etc.). What they're describing in the article is what has been described to me as being an abstraction/compatibility layer. So my questions are: 1.a. Is that really what this is or is it actually an emulator? b. If the latter, what makes it an emulator rather than a compat layer? 2. In general, how much do the two concepts interact? E.g. separate concepts entirely, ends of some continuum, etc.

  • Well, it certainly runs better than that on a 6650XT. I'm mainly referring to the highly variable FPS and hitching seen even on a 4090/5090. In the tutorial I had 60fps on High with FSR enabled. But in the open world it was up and down from 30 to 60 and dropping to 5 every few minutes. Apparently someone's made a mod to fix that and it's a fairly common thing with UE5 games. I refunded before I learned about that mod but I'm honestly just gonna play the original instead.

    As for your 1060... Well, it is way underpowered. That's what I upgraded from. It's largely outdated for modern titles in general.

  • 6650XT gang. Been a good card for me so far. The only game I've had crawling to a halt so far is the Oblivion remaster (refunded after realizing it ran like dogshit, not just on my system, but on any system). Was the best option at the time (late 2024) for my money and I needed an upgrade badly. I might upgrade to the 9060 XT for raytracing though since it's dogass on the 6650XT. That is my only regret so far.

  • And then we'll find that all the stress that we've gone through due to poor planning and policy has taken 10 years off our lives and we'll all have heart attacks at 70 before we even get to retire. Those that survive will be kept on life support to continue being worker drones for the billionaires. Changing the age of retirement isn't the solution. And if they do decide to do that, then it makes it all the more important that they enact policy to make life easier right now.

  • I'm well aware of the community I'm in. My support for reorganizing our society doesn't change the facts of our current reality. And maybe I'm a cynic or a pessimist, but I don't see developed nations shifting to degrowth until all us peons have been milked for ever last drop of energy we can muster. Even though we need to shift to a model that isn't dependent on infinite growth, there is little likelihood that will happen in the remainder of my lifetime.
