Last week's thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Ah right. Game time then. I don't have recommendations for a GPU heavy game if you think CPU is a bottleneck, but Steam has a very generous refund policy so I'd just go find some new game that interests you from the last year or two, crank up the graphics, and see how it goes.

I've been enjoying Baldur's Gate, which I'm having to run on low graphics settings, but I'm running it on a laptop that's at least a couple of years old and it has integrated graphics so I don't think I can judge it's GPU requirements 😆

Also just realized I need a new power supply. My cope is that I need this gpu to move to Wayland even though I've been on Wayland for 5 days on my nvidia card and haven't had any show stopper issues.

I think its finally time for me to play through cyberpunk 2044 that I brought on release and never played past when that poly dude died.(which was an hour or two in). Max graphics modded to hell and I'll bust the bong out of my cupboard. It will be like I'm high-school again except not poor and not staying up past midnight.

Is my memory right that AMD tends to be preferred for Linux as I seem to remember people always being wary of Nvidia.

And are you talking about Cyberpunk 2077? I can't seem to find a 2044. Is it good? I never played it, but remember launch reviews being bad.

I don't normally play games at launch (relevant xkcd) so it's about old enough for me to take a look. Baldur's Gate was a bit of an exception for me, I didn't get it directly at launch but was earlier this year, though as I understand it, it was in early access for years. Plus it had great reviews, it was reasonably priced, and was an AAA game that I could buy DRM free from GOG so a bit of a perfect storm to pull me in.
