Anyone else seeing reduced performance in BG3 Patch 2 with the Vulkan renderer?
Patch 2 seems to have drastically slowed down the Vulkan Renderer. Before I was able to get 80-110FPS in the Druid Grove, but now I am only getting 50fps. DX11 seems fine though, but I prefer using Vulkan since I am on Linux....
Your best friend - why are they your best friend? What is it that they are doing that you feel like at home with them?
And, how did you get to know them? And how long did it take for you to think of them as your best friend?

Who’s the eyepatch guy, and why is he a meme?
The fun of Lemmy’s “all” is that you see posts from all around the world. Today my feed is suddenly full of memes in German about an old white guy with an eyepatch. Who is he, and why is he suddenly a meme?
What type of YouTube videos have high replay value and are worth downloading?
Seeing how there are official and unofficial options to download videos from YouTube, I wondered why downloading of videos was endorsed in the first place, I have downloaded videos in the past, but it was due to some project work. I haven’t really downloaded a video for entertainment, education or any personal reason at all. I...
How to sleep after wisdom teeth extraction
I seem to be generating excessive amounts of saliva to the point where I need a disposable cup to kinda drool it into every couple of minutes. This makes sleeping kinda hard and so I’m wondering is there a trick? I had to make a sort of makeshift bib out of a towel just to combat this last night and that allowed me to get a...

What is the name of the meme, where the person defeated an enemy, then behind them are escalating more dangerous looking opponents?
I can’t remember the name of the meme but it’s in web comic style where a person will be like “I’m so glad to have finished college! That was so hard!” while facing a dude titled “college”. Then behind him with a giant bat is a buffer cartoon character with a baseball bat titled “Looking for a job with no...

Right now I have to remember them and go to them specifically once every couple of days to...

Is there an app that will chart the quality of my internet connection over time?
I’m not a big networking guy, so I’m not sure exactly the best way to ask this. My internet tends to drop out a lot, and I get disconnected.

Help deciding PC upgrades
So…I’ve been increasingly struggling to run the latest games, as the age of my 6 years old desktop is starting to show, and Starfield denying my GPU just pissed me. I know it’s a bug and I can probably play it, but it’s outright the minimum for this game, and so I’d like a refresh of the worst, or should I consider a...

Is movie-web down for anyone else?
Some time between early this morning and now, it stopped functioning; when I go to the website, it loads, but there’s no content on it, just the background color. I’m bummed because it’s the only place I could find to watch the show I was watching. :T
