IIRC the one thing we are sure of is that they don't break down, nor do they get out. So you better hope they don't do anything bad on top of that

It's also right next to a giant chaos star apparently.

Also France has 4 nuclear-powered ICBM launcher subs. Even if article 5 doesn't happen it can independently decide to kickstart the apocalypse

French one is actually mostly correct, but the expression is not used that much

Are you running Steam big picture by any chance ? For some reason without hardware acceleration (off by default !) it has terrible performances on my RTX 3080 Ti (popos, drivers 575) and affects the whole system.

OG one. I think you're right, I forgot because that year went by fast but I received it the next year

Are you from the US ? I procrastinated my preorder and did it a week after they opened them, and I think I got in wave 2 (western Europe).

Might be one of these mattresses with a "break" in the middle so they fold better.

Cyberpunk moment

Yes there was drama, but I feel like you're downplaying just how bad they overpromised and underdelivered. As a huge CDPR fan since The Witcher 2, (I even preordered TW3 collectors edition the first day it was available for preorder, even though I usually don't preorder). That release eroded a lot of the trust I had in them, even though I didn't preorder this one since I could smell the bs from miles away.

I actually got the game for like 6 bucks on Steam during the last sale and I'm now having a blast playing through the actually stable and release-ready version. But I feel like I can still see the scars of the rushed development on the game's main story progression. Like, I'm convinced that act 1 was supposed to be much longer and more fleshed out. Because I can't explain why a game that has quite literally the most immersive dialogue sequences in the entire industry (in a gigantic open world FPS, of all things) would have you watch a montage of you doing a bunch of cool things with a very cool character instead of actually having you playing through them. Also you can't convince me that montage was literally supposed to be a vertical slice of act 1 but they had to "salvage" it and actually put it 1:1 in the game because they were legally on the hook for releasing it as an early story trailer with a giant "scenes captured in engine" text.

They might go back on the "preorder worthy" list if they can abstain from blowing up the next game's hype to the moon and ride it regardless of the actual state of development. And burning out all their best talent on crunch death marches.

Edit: oh, also I have to rant about this trend I'm seeing a lot recently where uninformed gamers are now blaming the... publisher for all of this, apparently not realizing that they are self-published.

I had some nice ones but my cat ate them. I suppose they feel really good to chew

Pretty sure Big Picture uses the exact same interface as the steam deck nowadays, which is a much better experience than the old thing. At least when I stream through Moonlight, I haven't manually launched big picture in years.

I assume it goes into the case (that's one of the reasons why the motherboard had standoff screws), and will discharge when the case is plugged back ?

Also give that radiator a good whiff of canned air while the fan is off. Dust can accumulate there too.

I think Brelok is the one that did the eating here

Brb, appraising all my tacky LARP jewelry

Huh, I've never met a cat that ekekekees at bugs, they only do it when watching birds they clearly have no way of catching. Otherwise they just meow at the thing like it's your fault it's flying on the ceiling.

YouTube does a shit ton of A/B testing so they probably didn't roll that change out to everyone yet. I currently don't have any issues either but they will eventually hit us with that shit.

Yeah I currently have Linux and windows sharing my only nvme drive because I wanted to use the fastest drive for the OS but clearly it's causing issues. So I just bought a cheaper one that I will dedicate to windows, along with a sata SSD.

Do you think I can get away with just wiping the partitioned drive and reinstalling both OS, keeping their data drives as is, since they are already each entirely dedicated to one OS ? Or should I do a full clean ?
