So is your IQ 140+ or are you in IQ debt?

I agree that a cable would be wildly more useful than what's pictured, for what it's worth.

That said (tangentially related), I have a few male/female usb cables and they're a godsend. Extremely handy for game controllers and/or extenders for bluetooth or wireless device dongles.

The adapter shown is functionally identical to a usb 2 to usb c cable. I believe the meme is essentially suggesting the same thing you did with using a file explorer.

Inside every human is two wolves.

Only rarely is a human inside two wolves.

A license plate for what?

Now you've gone too far.

Dunno, but I'm looking to find out. Give me 2 all the way.

Honestly though, I really do need to read more of his stuff. I've only read a few, but they're incredibly good.

And here I thought someone was just saying they like path of exile.

Additional suggestion: Cadence of Hyrule.

Real cool zelda flavored spin on crypt of the necrodancer, and it's a good bit more forgiving challenge wise.

How long have you had yours? I've had 3 8bitdo controllers (iirc, sn30/ Pro/ Pro 2) and none of them work anymore. They also had a ton of connection and software issues leading up to becoming bricks.

I looked it up a bit ago because I was curious, and apparently Mod Organizer 2 works well on linux.

Also, not to shill too hard, but I like MO2 way more than Vortex (official successor to Nexus Mod Manager). I feel like MO2's got a slight learning curve up front, but after that, it's way more capable and easier to use than Vortex, especially as number of mods increases.

Ah, makes sense. I kinda figured it wouldn't be that easy to solve, but I had hope that it might have a 'cheap' workaround.

Noted. both my monitors are 75hz and capable of variable refresh rate, so in theory they don't need to have different refresh rates for my setup, but I imagine playing games and watching a video might throw a slight wrench in that. Just out of curiosity for my options, would plugging my second monitor directly into my Mother board help mitigate any issues on that front (instead of having both plugged into my GPU)?

Awesome, thanks!

I'm definitely not short on drives, so I'm not gonna bother with any partition shenanigans. The trouble is I only have one NVME drive, so it's just a question of which OS gets my best drive, but that's pretty minor honestly.

You mentioned Fallout 4, do you have experience in playing with mods on linux? That's another unknown for me, as I like modding and have no idea how that might transfer over.

Noted about the USB drive, I'll definitely have that available, thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations, and another thanks for giving a quick rundown on them too! These comments have been wildly helpful for essentially laying down some framework in my head about it.

Could you expand on that a bit? What do you mean by 'work better'?

For context, my main monitor is the one I want working well (any gaming is exclusively on my main). My second monitor is only used for more screen space, and occasionally playing videos (I don't care if it's high quality if it's on my second).

I moved to towers for the same reason years ago, but I basically never do major component swaps like I thought I would.

I've since realized that having a tower is really nice for other things though, namely maintenance and cleaning/airflow. My rtx 2060 seemed like it was on its way out a year ago (thermal throttling, even on way lower settings than it used to be able to run just fine), so I took it apart and replaced the thermal paste. Runs better than when I first got it. Got some new case fans recently as well and the whole thing runs cooler, quieter, and they use less power than my stock ones, which is nice.

Obviously the thermal paste thing applies to laptops as well, but laptops can be very tough to get open and dig around in.
