Voice chat quality is subpar, there is no screensharing audio, voice chat is buggy on a good day, unusuable on the rest.

candle_lighter , 4 months ago to patientgamers in Any recommendations for time loop games?

Probably not what you are looking for but Call of Duty Zombies is a timeloop. Every match you play is canon to the lore. Black Ops 3 on PC is probably the best one to get since it has the most of the maps from earlier games + Steam workshop support for custom maps. Most levels even have ways to beat them and break the timeloop which will provide a cutscene with lore drops.

If you and some friends can get the game on sale the base game alone is great without DLC just for the endless amount of content in the workshop.

Linux has been kinda great with ARM due to devices like the Rasberry Pi. Ubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro all offer ARM variants

Piracy IS most definitely a service problem. I bought the Scott Pilgrim game on Steam and had terrible performance and frequent crashes from Denuvo. I pirated the game and it runs completely fine now. You are often paying for a worse experience when you don’t pirate.

In India nobody texts on anything but WhatsApp and in Puerto Rico no buisiness has a website it’s all just Facebook pages. I am a huge privacy advocate but unfortunately I still depend on terrible tech due to the stubbornness of society.

candle_lighter , 6 months ago to nostupidquestions in Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?

I’ve always felt like most people lack problem solving skills. Nobody knows how to use Google or just figure things out themselves. Friends often call me for tech support but it’s often very basic things like how to plug in an HDMI cable or how to fix an error that says how to fix it in the error code.

I work tech support too and deal with behavior like this daily. 90% of what I do is simple things that can be found on the first Google result. People open tickets asking how to unmute their microphone in Teams, it’s ridiculous.

Unless they changed it, the other one is Battle eye which also has Linux support

candle_lighter , 6 months ago to technology in Epic win: Jury decides Google has illegal monopoly in app store fight

So odd that the open source platform that allows sideloading and doesn’t even come with an app store by default is the one that is a monopoly but the locked down one with total control over your device is not.

Some Android flavors even come with other app stores. Samsung phones have their own Samsung app store that even includes Fortnite.

candle_lighter , 6 months ago to linux in Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros

Other than being completely unable to run Wayland, secure boot, and being forced to use a propietary driver what kind of things are specifically wrong with Nvidia on Linux? Maybe it’s because I switched to Linux fairly recently but I haven’t noticed many Nvidia specific issues yet.
