It isn't even new, the replies have been the same childish shit since at least May of 2022.

Damn, I knew it dropped, but that is rapid.

Source was branched off of GoldSRC, which was built around OGL and D3D simultaneously, but for Source, OGL was excised from the final engine. Meanwhile, D3D functionality was later removed from GoldSRC altogether. And further back than all that, the engines are both based on Quake, which only had a software renderer, so going by your logic, it could be said that every renderer in Source and GoldSRC is a "bodge".

Besides all that, I said the Vulkan renderer is the absolute best way to play the game on Linux, so your point in the first place isn't even totally really clear.

Eh, in my testing, I've found a drop of a few fps across the board, with a few games that are just plain problematic. I haven't found any performance improvements yet myself, but I also only have a part of my library right now due to a drive failure.

That response doesn't make any sense. You do know this game received a major update just last week and has native Vulkan support, right?

I've been running Pop OS strictly for a few months now, but in terms of gaming, it just doesn't quite feel like it's quite there for me.

Take Half-Life 2 for instance. Valve is one of the few devs/publishers actually making an effort with Linux, and it shows, but it still manages to be inferior.

By default, it uses OpenGL, which is... a mess. Just plain a mess. It's bad. Busted lighting, models look off, effects don't draw right. This has no business being the default.

So, command line options, turn on Vulkan. 1 billion times better. Looks right, feels right... crashes on boot occasionally... and the workshop uploader crashes too...

Well, there's always Proton, except... yeah, performance is decreased a bit. That's nothing major here, but since I don't have the best hardware, it becomes more of an issue with newer games. In regards to HL2, though, it also introduces microstuttering, which is absolutely a big deal.

Bold coming from someone who recently took a strong stance on support of sexual assault against women.

I dunno, your comments seem to have a certain tilt.

The community of inclusion once again unable to express their thoughts without insulting people.

Funny how calling someone a jackass is "insulting" to you, but you treat bigotry like fair game.

So... one article that explains the situation as "Godot said something inclusive, bigots got angry, started harassment campaign," and another full of dog whistles?

Bruh, you a fuckin clown.

think there is either a lazarus pit under gotham or an actual demonic entity

I'm pretty sure it's actually both.

Imagine actually fucking believing this, lmao.

Dodi, fitgirl, etc.

Good links can be found in the mega thread stickied to the community or on FMHY.

Everybody talks about "why not Mastodon" in the comments of these. I thought about that for a long while back when I used Mastodon, and I have an answer: discoverability. ActivityPub does not make things easy to find, which makes a Twitter-like service even more like screaming into the void. It effectively becomes "bring your own audience," and tends to only amplify the voices that are already the loudest, though as a consequence of the backend, rather than a malicious choice like Twitter.

Eh... seriously?

Are the Russian fascists in the room right now?

Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey and is currently majority-owned and ran by Jay Graber, a Chinese-American woman from Tulsa.

Hell, I even searched specifically for controversies and Russian connections, and absolutely everything that came up said the exact opposite of your claims here.

Not even national. I have a toilet with a ceramic flush valve built into the tank and it's almost impossible to find a flapper that's set up for this.

Considering that some searches right now tend to be thirty different "news" sites republishing the same article... I dunno how to feel about this.

And the entitled bs still doesn't stop, even when called out. From recent comments on the issue:

He wants people to give him money just because he wants it.
I hope God guides his way into salvation.

Crackhead bs right there.

The part with the Tom & Jerry clip, it says something like "Windows haters finding a reason to blame Microsoft," and shows them searching the house and finding nothing.
