The French Foreign Legion is actually pretty badass

I’m guessing one of the reasons it’s not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don’t recall every having a Java based game on Steam

I still have my circa-2016 email confirming my pledge for the Time 2 Silver, which ultimately got cancelled just before the fulfillment date due to Pebble selling out to Fitbit.

While I loved my original Pebble back then, I would really want something similar to look and function of the T2S so will watch this project in hopes it too is resurrected

Watch they do. I know because I’ve reported things for violating electrical standards, etc and made damn sure to emphasize that to their support, only to seethe same continue thing being sold months later.

I’ve had some issues with NV cards, but those were prior to the newer open-source driver architecture which should be available for Turing cards and beyond:

I’ve actually got a laptop with a 2070 so I’ll try that out myself and see if it resolves some of the issues I know I had with the proprietary drivers

I yes, I should have mentioned the distro+hardware on this system is Mint with an AMD CPU and 6900XT GPU. AMD drivers are pretty well supported in Linux. I also run some Debian systems which do well, though I’ve not tried VR on them

There can be some issues with Nvidia cards due to proprietary drivers but I’ve heard they’re now supporting a FOSS driver in newer cards so as long as you’ve got one of those you should be good.

Honest question: what’s stopping you currently? For me, I kept Windows around purely for playing certain VR games that didn’t run well on Linux. The last Windows update fucked up my video config, so I reluctantly decided to try SteamVR on Linux again.

I’ll admit my hopes weren’t particular high given me last shot at it but holy shit pretty much every VR game I tried worked as well as they had in Windows (Angry Birds develop a weird controller jitter after about 30 minutes but I’ve had that in Windows too).

The only extra steps I had to do to get stuff working was install “SteamVR experimental” and one of the Linux utilities to set my GPU to always run in performance mode when gaming (not necessary for everything but jealous with some).

For non-VR, most AAA titles also work great. The main issue I’ve seen is certain DRM for non-Steam multiplayer games can be a bit finicky, but that’s getting better too and it’s been awhile since I’ve run afoul of those.

Is there even a board with a modern PCI port with a non-UEFI BIOS?

Also apparently told Europe that they’re pulling out of there unless they accept the deal for Ukraine’s surrender…

I mean, Canada might but given that I’ve of the issues is being in the crosshairs for annexation with “the largest land border” between us… how safe is it going to be?

Trump’s handing Ukraine and Europe to Russia while planning his own play from their book.

Yeah I looked into the Kobo store and a LOT of the books I have - which are not exactly small titles - aren’t available there.

In some cases they’ve got the first couple books or audiobooks out of a series that currently has 10

The color might make more sense if you’re into manga or graphical novels as opposed to just ebooks

This doesn’t track.

To pull my books into calibre, I need to first download them onto the Kindle, which requires wifi.

Not really surprising that short video clips would be used to target people with lower critical-thinking skills and attention spans

Subtitles would be easier

“Because I know that [incoherent blathering] [nonsensical mouth noises] and then we”

Neither do the other thousands or millions of people who do so, but it’s not a particularly uncommon thing and it’s likely enough that (birthdate) is the reason it’s there. I’ve got my birth year (not '88) in my username for some sites because the bare username was already taken

He’s a money supporter.

Yeah, birth years are super common in usernames (and password, don’t use it there). Bob Smith finds his preferred username is taken so becomes BobSmith79 or BobSmith88 or whatever because it’s easy an easy enough variation to remember.

You can find patterns/relations in almost anything if you reach for something, kinda like the “six degrees of separation” thing even if there’s a more reasonable answer

iGPU’s can use system RAM to supplement VRAM. Might still be doable
