Yes that was literally my main reason for not putting SteamOS on a gaming rig because Nvidia isn't supported, and I've heard similar things about other Linux distros. I guess I'll just keep waiting until there is better Nvidia support. But it looks like that day is getting closer.
Nice, nice.
I've had a few suggestions on here about Linux distros to install, so I'm contemplating what to go with.
Awesome. Are you using an AMD or Nvidia card?
I haven't decided about whether I want to fresh install on my current rig or just by a new gaming rig altogether and make it a dedicated Linux build.
What distro are you running?
I notice that a lot of Unity-made games have -- as you put it -- much snappier response timing and animation and inputs are far more precise. It makes sense why devs making platformers and side-scrollers prefer Unity over Unreal as one of the reasons for that. I think it's also because of so much of the bloat in the Unreal packaging due to having to support a lot of third-party plugins and libraries, most devs just settle for the default physics instead of fine-tuning it as you mentioned.
You're 100% correct that this looks like a lazy hack job, though.
It seems like some kind of fork of the Unreal Engine, because you're right that some of the assets in this game really do look like they came right out of the asset store.
I actually said the same thing in another comment elsewhere discussing it with some people about how much of a lazy UE5 asset-store rip the game was, and I was corrected as well and they informed me about the team using their own in-house engine. But I'm still skeptical because it has the same floatiness as the UE5, same animation sets, same jankiness, and it even has the exact same pop-in issues that games have that use Nanite in open-world settings.
It has the "Type I" and "Type II" nonsense in place of male/female in the character creator, and also they made a lot of the female NPCs very tall and masculine. The only relatively hot female NPC is evil, and surprise-surprise, she's actually a "clone" of a man.
One of the main bounty hunting missions features fighting a deviant who brutally killed a man's "husband" (props to that deviant, by the way). So they made sure to throw in alphabet nonsense.
All that being said, what Lethn says about the game is correct. However, it's not an Unreal Engine-made game, it's built on its own engine, but it sure does seem to borrow a ton of stuff that feels like it was ripped right off the Unreal Asset Store, because the animations, janky melee, and combat all seem 1:1 from the Unreal Engine.
Conceptually the game is really cool with its Twilight Zone meets Lovecraft meets Secret World meets Silent HIll theme; and in the hands of a competent or visionary creative director (maybe someone like Hideo Kojima or Yoko Taro?) it could have been awesome, but it also reeks heavily of slapdash game design with an air of current year DEI infusion.
That's the plan, it's a two-tier approach to subverting the Overton Window. Sadly way too many people fall for it.
For instance, Rings of Power is terrible but people love Fallout. The ideas and hate-messaging they hold for viewers with the Rings of Power is identical to that of Fallout, it's just that while Rings of Power was a touch too woke, Fallout was only barely woke enough to stifle pushback.
The Acolyte was Disney going mask-off, and while people can recoil all day long about how terrible is, a bunch of people will throw money at them with Deadpool & Wolverine, including "le based" anti-SJW/anti-woke channels who make all their grift on "hating" Disney.
This is the Left's long game, and they are playing it superbly. The amount of normies I see in normie spaces decrying an ultra-woke property while supporting a mildly woke property is beyond common.
For instance, the same people who ragged on Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League were some of the same people who also enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy, so they're still supporting the same messaging from the same company. One product simply presented itself in a slightly higher quality than the other.
I'm going to have to subscribe to this fine gentleman.
If you're only looking for English-speaking media, the only recommendations I can think of is Bull (2021) and.... hmmm... let me take a look....
Oh, here are a few more....
-
Arcadian (2024) , stars Nicholas Cage and is a good picture with a strong father figure centering around raising two boys in a post-apoc setting.
-
The Channel (2023) , bit of a low budget heist flick but it has some extremely well designed and staged action scenarios, about two brothers trying to pull off a heist and get out of town while everybody is after them.
-
Corner Office (2022) , zero wokeness here. This is an extremely understated film with stark but witty comedy. Whilst it's not a film for everyone, if you're a fan of Jon Hamm it's well worth a watch.
-
Old Henry (2021) , absolutely right proper badass film starring a straight White male in an uncompromising story.
-
Mad God (2021) , not for the weak-willed or easily disturbed. If there was ever a visceral and visualised depiction of the worst possibilities imaginable in hell, this is that film.
-
Pig (2021) , another Nicholas Cage film. This is a brilliant film. It's odd but sensible, and heartbreaking, and engaging, and Cage turns in an actual award-worthy performance here. It's a great film. Don't let anybody spoil it for you and don't read any descriptions before you watch it. Just go in blind.
-
The Tax Collector (2020) , this is a gruesome but interesting flick about the cartel underlings responsible for collecting fees from gang districts. It has some disturbing imagery and violence at times, but it's also a pretty good film, very similar in tone to Harsh Times.
-
Underwater (2020), very mediocre lovecraftian horror flick, but surprisingly not woke. Unfortunately it stars Kirsten Stewart. But, she doesn't have to do much acting since most of the time is spend attempting to run or swim away. Reminds me of a modern version of Deep Star Six with a Cthulhu twist.
-
Wrath of Man (2021) , absolutely superb Guy Ritchie film, which is a remake of the 2004 French film Cash Truck starring Albert Dupontel from the excellent Chrysalis and Irreversible, and Jean Dujardin who starred in the OSS 117 films; ironically the French film is also a remake of the Australian film Money Movers from 1978. All three films are excellent, but I think Money Movers is probably the most tension-ridden of the three, and it's just as violent as Wrath of Man. Both are well worth a watch.
Now if you don't mind non-English films, those are available aplenty. Lost Bullet 1 & 2 are both decent films, I prefer the sequel with the souped up turbocharged Renault; it's such an awesome car that really steals the show.
The Roundup trilogy starring Ma Dong-Seok are some of the best crime-thriller-mystery-action-comedy films made. I have a hard time deciding between which of the three films I like most, but they're all really well done and extremely satisfying.
Sputnik is also a pretty good Russian sci-fi mystery horror film, and Enforcement is a Danish film that is basically a modern version of Walter Hill's The Warriors but from the police's perspective set within a Muslim community as they are on the verge of rioting. It's an awesome film that basically highlights that stereotypes exist for a reason and that those same stereotypes will likely save your live.
Also, All of Us Are Dead is a good South Korean zombie series, well worth watching. Hunt (2022) and The Killer (2022) are also really good films as well; I especially liked The Killer, as the main character was just no-nonsense and badass, and it reminded me a lot of the 2017 film Paradox starring Louis Koo and Tony Jaa. But Paradox takes some serious twists and turns, whereas The Killer is a lot more straightforward.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and minor shoutout to Mosul (2019) , almost forgot about that one. Pretty good film from a unique perspective that... well, I don't want to give anything away, but it's about some guys hunting terrorists, but there's a lot more to it than that. It's definitely badass and uncompromising, though.
Kind of puts into perspective the convenient removal of Dr. Disrespect, since he obviously was not a Lefty. They could have taken him down at any point since the scandal first happened, but conveniently decided to do so this year, just ahead of the ramp up of the American election season.
I almost... ALMOST pre-ordered EDF 6. I have been replaying EDF 5 in the meantime and figured EDF 6 is just an upgrade over 5.... right? Right? But that inner voice told me not to pre-purchase and just wait it out a bit. Turns out it was right. Whilst I'm sure Sandlot will get things sorted eventually, you're absolutely right that 2024 is the crap cake that just keeps on giving.
They make no effort to hide the fact that that is exactly how they want him to be perceived.
It is. Back in my time there were no "game developer" studies, just computer science, which encompassed information systems and programming.
For game development back then, all you had to do was know how to code moving pixels to the screen using Basic or QBasic, and go from there.
As Soctactic said, some people still want to separate what's going on from the religious aspects. It all converges whether people like it or not.
All you can do is say your piece, keep your peace, and move on about your life.
Welcome back.
Lot's of people have been praising God, and for good reason. This was a miracle, whether someone takes that to mean from God, or the more mundane and colloquial sense
Watching some of the coverage had YouTube recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCGfE9yMnXc
It kind of makes you think...
Don't be surprised if Ben Shapiro funds a feminist movie about the female secret service agent who "saved" Trump's life.
Maybe someone grabbed a cache on bing or yandex? Google has made it difficult to get cached articles this days.

do not underestimate how retarded normies still are
I learned this the hard way by dabbling in normie spaces. It's bad everywhere, really. Normies really are more retarded than people think, and it's especially bad in female spaces; listening to the average wench open her mouth reveals that however bad you thought it was, it's actually worse than that.
TL;DR: Listening to normies prattle on about the state of affairs is the true black pill.
That is precisely why you fail. If you can't incentivize her, it's because she's unattracted to you.
Right, because most dating sites unanimously indicate 80% of women are attracted to only 20% of men:

- https://www.girlschase.com/article/dating-rules/20-men-are-doing-80-dating
- https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/women-say-80-of-men-are-below-average/
That goes back to my Chad/Tyrone references: Most guys getting married these days are not the men that women want to marry, but the men they marry for resources and stability, and nothing they do will ever win the woman over because she simply does not have a "genuine burning desire" for you, as Rich Cooper says.
All available data suggests that married couples have more sex than unmarried ones.
You're actually right about that: while one-third of all marriages are sexless... https://www.statista.com/statistics/1367096/us-sexless-marriage-by-generation/
....66% of men have gone a year or more without any sex: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3868557-most-young-men-are-single-most-young-women-are-not/
I'm incensed that you are shooting yourself in the face so you can guarantee your immiseration. You are doing this to yourself.
Personally, I have never had trouble getting women -- and ironically, more than not, they have not entirely been like most of the data suggests (I guess that would put them in the 20% range?). However, it doesn't change the red flags present, or the risks men run in the long run on average.
Also, you mentioned about women with kids not giving up the cushy life to cheat? I recently recall this story here... https://youtu.be/NE_Fw5bvyfA
A woman in the cushiest of life-styles cheats on a husband who works all day, helps with the kids, is -- in her own words -- practically perfect, save for that he doesn't spend enough time with her because he spends his free time doing charity work. He makes sure she has enough money to go on her "girls' trips", and provided her with a high-end lifestyle.
How does she repay him? Well, because he didn't kiss her goodbye at the airport, she was emotional and angry and let a man woo her and do her on the trip.
This goes back to what I said before... all it takes is one gust of emotional wind to change her mind about you at any one time; she's not yours, it's just your turn.
Sorry, but any woman who claims to be "born again" I immediately discount all of her opinions.
It means she wasted the entire portion of her life before her alleged "redemption" being a typical slattern, and now wants to cash-in on people looking to applaud a "based" woman for rekindling traditional values.
All of these "born again" types have had sordid pasts in one way or another, and only one of them (that I have come across) has admitted to feeling open shame about her past and noting that feeling shame is good (which is the correct way to view their past).
You actually have to understand how a relationship works and feels for you to compel her and for her to compel you. That which is free has no value.
And nothing you give is worth whatever they give in return, because the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Whatever you give is pointless given that they are incentivised to take, and take, and take, and have zero reason to give in return because there is always another sucker or simp waiting around the corner thanks to no-fault divorce.
Any guy wasting his time trying to play these silly games of ebbing and flowing with another human being is just wasting his time. That's precisely why I suggested able men find a proper conservative wife in a place where they know their role without any of the silly games Western men have been brainwashed to believe they must play to attain a woman.
And instead you've completely poisoned your own perspective to the point you will never have a loving, long-term, relationship;
No, reality did that. It's called pattern recognition. Rich Cooper, Michael Sartain, and SSM consistently point to their own lives and plenty of men writing in that highlight a lot of truths that men are uncovering for themselves through hurt and heartbreak. When the stats, anecdotal and empirical evidence all point to the same thing, it's time to stop playing a rigged game. I get where you're coming from, but it's a position of naïveté.
It's funny because one guy followed all of SSM's red-flag checks, had been with his wife for years, and she still cheated on him. Turned out she had a secondary phone she was using so when he checked her main social media account and main phone, he couldn't find any red flags.
One-third of all marriages are sexless, and one-third of all men who take paternity tests find out they are not the father: https://dnatesting.com/30-of-men-not-the-father/
The reality is that most Western women out there marry their beta male for security/finances (a retirement plan basically) while cheating on him with Chad/Tyrone.
You can be incensed at the reality of it all, but it doesn't change reality.
GTFO of here. No, most women do not have any 'back-up' partners if they are in committed relationships already. Especially if they are pregnant or have kids.
Danny Eflman's theme for the show was spot-on, and the cinematography and framing was made to somewhat blend with Burton's Batman films.
