That’s hilarious, but not really the same thing.

Proton is amazing, but it’s entirely overhead translating library/system calls to Linux. It’s accurate to say they run better on SteamOS, not to say Proton is making it run better.
Now maybe Proton makes them run better than a janky but native Linux port, but that’s a separate statement about games being better optimized on Windows.

Oh, I see what you mean, fair enough.

Duke Nukem Forever did ship… Years late and it was a total mess of a decade’s worth of gimmick mechanics that killed the franchise, but it did make it out the door.
Still fits as a cautionary tale about switching engines, I just had to double check I didn’t hallucinate that game.
Probably due north.

I know you’re joking, but it’s going to be something dumb like this that gets deniers to rethink their position. It may be some staple that disappears from shelves, or has to be replaced by an inferior substitute, or made with weird ingredients.
If lite beer had to be made with rice, or it got to $100 a case because of climate change fucking up the wheat crop, it would do more than every science paper in the world.

They really did you a favor by breaking your existing, paid for software and then designing a chip to emulate another processor to fix the problem they made.
Anyway, enjoy your low power draw. I’ll be over here running my whole Steam library on a handheld device that costs less than your RAM upgrade.

I mean, yeah, that’s what happens when you still want to be 32 bit compatible. It’s also why I said they were ELF64 when needed. My only point was that it’s not like Valve just shipped a bunch of 32 bit binaries and called it a day or x64 support was some kind of after thought that needs future support.

Oh, you were still talking about emulating an x86 binary? That’s kind of a weird comparison because if you’re running Linux and want to run x86 software you can just do it on x86. No corporation is forcing you off of the game’s native architecture.

Right, I’m not talking about Steam, I don’t think misk was either, the context is Apple transitioning to ARM silicon.
Also Steam definitely runs native 64 bit on x64 systems. It’s intended to run in either environment, and so will have 32 bit deps, but if you start Steam, the actual executables you’re running (e.g. ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steamwebhelper) are 64 bit ELFs when needed. And, of course, games run in 64 bits and link to a 64 bit steam client library.

Linux on ARM is stuck in the mud? Huh? Everything works fine on ARM, including the desktop. There are like a billion ARM devices running Linux right now.
Or did you mean Linux on Apple hardware? Because that’s by design.
Unless you can launch offensive weapons at other racers or eat shrooms to speed up or literally launch your car off of a vertical ramp into the sky and it turns into a glider in Forza, I’m pretty sure these games aren’t even in the same genre.

I had to give up on Soulslike games. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that every boss makes me feel frustrated for 30 mins to an hour and I’m cursing a blue streak, pissed off when I’m supposed to be having fun. Not worth it to me or my blood pressure.

Not sure it’s really relevant to OP, but I’ll vouch for Moonlight. I use it to stream from my beefy desktop to my laptop/Linux tablet that both have weak little integrated GPUs. It’s not perfect, need a strong internet connection, but it’s 100x better than Steam’s integrated version and for remote desktop access too.
A handy tip is that you can fake second monitors without any extra hardware so you don’t have to give up a connected screen either.

Hey, that’s great. I’m not sure it’s a way to reach full communism, but good on them.

Perfect example. Insurance is an entire industry of blood sucking middle men producing absolutely nothing.
Good luck to your friend. Sorry they have to support a useless leech corporation instead of, you know, paying that money to actual workers.

It’s really hard to generalize about leftist groups. The communists that feel this way have formed co-ops, or are cooperating with anarchists to do something like syndicalism (focused on unionizing existing businesses).
But the methods to start and grow businesses in a capitalist country inherently rely on acting like a capitalist. Getting loans requires a business plan that makes profit, acquiring facilities and other businesses requires capital. Local co-ops exist because they can attract members and customers that value their co-opness, but it’s very hard to scale that up to compete at a regional level. It’s not impossible, but it’s hard to view it as an engine for vast change.
Communists that focus on voting are delusional (in my opinion) but like all reformists they view the existing government as the mechanism to make widespread change.

I thought it was great, premise and execution.
By myself, probably Apollo 13 - I used to watch it like once a day over the summer. With my dad, we watched Predator every time my mom had to work late.
