Okay I'm going to go against the grain, and will probably get downvoted to hell, but this is not new. This is PC gaming. This has always been PC gaming. Hot take - you don't need 4k@60fps to be able to have fun playing games.

New games require top of the line hardware (or hardware that doesn't even exist yet) for high-ultra settings. Always have, always will. (Hell, we had an entire meme about 'can it run crysis', a game that literally could only play on low-medium on even the highest level machines for a few years) Game makers want to make their games not just work now, but want them to look great in 5 years too. Unless you have shelled out over a grand this year for the absolute latest GPU, you should not expect any new game to run on great settings.

In fact, I do keep my PC fairly bleeding edge and I can't drive more than High settings on most games - and that's okay. Eventually I'll play them on Ultra, when hardware catches up. It's fine.

And as for low to mid level hardware I was there too - and that's just PC gaming friend. I played Borderlands and Left4Dead the year they came out on a very old Radeon card at 640x480 in windowed mode, medium settings, at about 40fps.

Again, this is just what PC gaming is. If you want crisp ultra graphics, you're gonna have to shell out the ultra payments. Otherwise, fine tuning low to medium payments, becoming okay with sub 60fps, this is all fairly normal.

Personally, when I upgrade I find great joy in going back and "rediscovering" some of the older games and playing them on ultra for the first time.

You stand on the right side of an escalator/moving walkway. You walk on the left side.

It doesn't matter if you have multiple people or luggage, the right is for standing, the left is for walking.

I had no idea they went public

"The Linux Operating System" shows about how much their teams understand linux

I've had crickets. As a snack, they're not bad honestly with the crunch. Mine had a BBQ flavor added

What sort of manly man can't go buy his own body wash? It's not exactly a surprise when it's running low

It's something that is hard to learn for some people, me included. That something can be bad but still fun. Will Farrell movies were that to me, I hated him because I was a pretentious douche who thought anyone who liked him were just morons. Turns out no, you can think the movie is both stupid as hell, but still have fun

Their site leaves a bit to be desired, but they do have PDF versions along with many others it will scrape in

Maybe write freely? It's federated and blog format

Usually the ones who smell too much have grown accustomed to their scent. I find older people are especially bad with it. They're so used to it that they barely smell it, so they put a lot on.

We call this a whoopsie daisy.

I wonder if AC would work. Make the cat so uncomfortable it would want to leave

Pretty much if it's on our list of defederate instances then it's probably great for op! Go be sad with the other wannabe trolls

The major things I see on Lemmy are

• be chill with one another
• if you're not watching Star Trek you should
• non corporate tech is good

Really if someone is anti all of that then it's on them at this point. I mean, who doesn't like Star Trek?

I like the idea of something like cruises. A voyage.

Stack overflow has always been ego and arrogance. Personally I'd love to see a federated version, we all host shards

damn I've been out of the loop on that one for a while! Agreed, I set up Immich and it's pretty much a drop-in replacement now

Honestly the silver lining about the M&As going on right now is going to be all of the new tiny startups. We're already seeing it with gaming, indie studios take risks and are willing to make the huge gambles, and it's why they're winning. Same will happen here

Did they really kill off free photo backup? That's so incredibly shitty, they even compressed them!
