  • I dunno, there are plenty of valid criticisms of both games, but they were both great games. I played through both of them more than once and loved them. They were janky, glitchy, and the second game added a lot of new ideas, seemly at the cost of map size and polish.

    I’m buying the day it’s available, I know it’ll have an issue or two but I’ll still love it.



  • Anecdotal and likely not very helpful, when I was running a laptop with a 2060, I regularly had freezing issues launching steam, that would freeze the entire desktop on whichever I display I launched it on for anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute. The same issue occurred across multiple Linux distros running multiple Nvidia proprietary driver versions.

    I built a desktop with an AMD GPU to solve the problem and it worked. I really wish I could give you something better than that.













  • 5 years ago I met my wife on Tinder. I swiped with a paid “super like” to get to the front of the line. It worked. I would imagine tinder is still your best bet as far as getting to actually meet someone, but anything more than a bungled meetup is dependent on you not being a shit show, having a little charm, not being completely broke or devoid of motivation, etc. everyone’s mileage is gonna vary.


  • This is entirely plausible, but I don’t know if it’s there yet. I’ve long since moved to AMD GPUs so I can’t really fiddle and find out. Give the open source drivers some time to mature.

    Until then, you are reasonably safe running Linux with secure boot turned off. I’m no expert on the matter, but I’m not familiar with any ongoing threats to boot loader in Linux distributions. Stick to your official repos to be safest, unverified user maintained sources like AUR and COPR are possibly more likely to harbor security threats, don’t use them if you don’t need to or don’t know what you’re doing. Password your bios and require a password to log in to your operating system. Common sense is a better defense than secure boot.
