i run MO2 through Proton (also you should install protontricks if you don't have it. it helps with additional wine dependencies that may be needed)
then I use MO2 to launch SKSE modded version of the skyrim SE launcher.
Vanilla skyrim runs perfectly with proton kinda on its own, so MO2 doesn't really have to do anything except make sure all the plugins get loaded in the proper order.
MO2 is quite nice, actually. i use it to run the normal Bethesda skyrim.exe if I want to configure my base game settings (graphics etc) but then just exit and swap back to the SKSE launcher from MO2 and we're golden.
I also find that CreationKit seems to play a lot more nicely when launched through MO2 than if I add it to steam and try to manually run it myself with Proton (CreationKit sucks to run, however and you'll have to get used to crashes and losing all progress so I would only recommend using it for very small tweaks.)
but yeah! runs just fine in proton. you really only need MO2 to initially launch skse for you. then it just kinda chills while you're playing. but the software is good (though I will say there was a bit of a learning curve in my case as I am a Vortex refugee 😅)
no, they don't. but the game has been out for 5 years at this point.
articles like these seem quite pointless to anyone who doesn't already own a switch 2. and possibly pointless even to people who own a switch 2, but have already played cyberpunk on better or similar hardware.
this article is an attempt to pat a multi billion dollar company on the back so it doesn't feel as bad that people aren't racing out to buy their 5-year-late, overpriced attempts to dominate the handheld market again.
oh no I only meant that I run at 60fps and I pretty much never get dips.
but my modlist is mostly just vanilla+ with bugfixes. changes to combat, magic, and I did weather and lighting and textures and all that jazz as well. i have dungeon packs added that add new dungeons or extend existing dungeons to make them more huge and sprawling (Kind of like Daggerfall. I usually have to camp a couple times if they're super massive)
if you're going to run big boys like Bruma or other hefty ones, I'd make that mod the focus of the modpack.
mods that change animations or add custom ones seem to be kinda iffy, but I haven't had any mods requiring them yet. i would like to check into Nemisis because I hear it does some cool new stuff.
and no need for garbage bloat mods (USSEP) anymore as a lot of bugfix packs are fairly small now. so running mods with bugfixes is now super smooth.
i use a oneplus 8t so I'm gonna save this comment. thank you very much. ive manually blocked most google services but I'd like to try a dedicated OS soon.
that, and it the game has a couple things that I feel actually exceed the trilogy. my favorite loyalty mission for any companion's is Liam's. it was seriously so fun. and the humor was perfect.
i absolutely agree with you on the "good enoughs", but I actually think Andromeda is good. i just think it had an awful start.
ive done some digging to see if there's some glaring issue I'm just not aware of. i found no evidence whatsoever so far of anyone using this device or saying these phones or devices are used for anything criminal or nationalist activity.
i just found a lot of linux nerds or FOSS nerds who seem to have varying opinions on whether they like it or the company or not.
in a world so absolutely brimming with click bait headlines and buzzwords being used to incite conflict, let's not rally behind every cry of vilification without first checking that it's actually villainous. you know?
we need to make sure we don't fall into the same habits those headlines aim to force us into.
