This game is a technical mess. Oblivion is top 3 of all time for me. I’m the target audience for a litany of reasons, yet I refunded it after 3 hours.

It runs like shit on everything. Windows? Check. Linux? Check. Steam Deck? Check. GeforceNow? Check.

As soon as you leave the prison it all falls apart. Hopefully the next few months of patching can salvage it. I’ll keep an eye on reports. Until then though, the console versions seem to be the only way it’s worth trying to run this release.

Specs for anyone interested:

PC running Win 11 23h2 and PopOS - Ryzen 5900x, 5080FE

Laptop Running 24h2 and Mint Ryzen 7945HX, 4080

Both of those should be able to run this game at 240 1080p, 120 2k or 60 4k and unfortunately none of that happens. Its just a see saw of random drops and stutters not matter what settings I use.

Sweet. Does it finally fix the black screen issues? My 5080 is damn near unusable.

Fucking scrub ass drivers.

nm, realized which sub this was. Black screens aren’t a problem on Linux… Yet.

The Nemesis System within the Wonder Woman game was the reverse of what is in the Middle-Earth games. Instead of enemies being empowered, Wonder Woman would befriend NPCs.

Damn, as someone who likes a good, getting cats out of trees, talking to the goblins that took over your house, NPC helping time, this bums me out.

The amount of corporate environments running old builds, 3+ patches behind or pro/home versions would shock anybody with an inkling of security awareness.

If you’re going to run Windows as a business and especially if you’re going to rely on Defender, you gotta be on top of shit. Most are woefully far outside of that

The Americans for America PAC!

Intel U7 and 11 Home?!

Hell yeah, I’ve never been more disinterested in what will surely be a trash experience!

Playing a “backup” on my Switch.

I’m doing my part.

Watching this… transition (really wish it was a death) of Web 2.0 or whatever we call the 10’s era of internet is really interesting. I disengaged from everything Social Media aside from a highly curated reddit feed (RIP BaconReader) about 7 or so years ago and it was a huge change in my mental health. I know, I know, still a social platform, but, c’mon, cut out the frontpage and just build good metas and the communities were great

Since then I’ve had moments where I’m advocating others do the same, at the detriment of sounding like a madman on occasion, just for their own sanity and space to think and breath through a situation.

Anyways, here I am on a new social media platform celebrating the death of forced engagement and yet, Lemmy feels like the web I grew up on. The BBSes and forums.

The author brings up a lot of great points and they seem pretty salient. I just am left wondering what it looks like now that the bills are due.

Can we get back to individual websites? Can I have a few dope blogs I hit up a few times a week? Can we resurrect stumbleupon? I hope so.

The jaded feeling I get every time I see a family member or friend or even stranger becomes radicalized by blatant falsehoods they find while “doing some research” is painful. This isn’t the web I know and it’s certainly not the one we need.
