Isn’t Israel’s dirty little money fingers in damn near every nook and cranny of all of the USA’s federal elections, and by large amounts?

Lmao, I read that and legitimately stopped reading immediately. Thank you. Lesson learned!

Edit: I’m an idiot who stopped reading too soon.

“Dragon Age: The Veilguard is this year’s Alan Wake 2”

…wot…Alan Wake 2 is a work of art, DA:tV is yet another series being dumbed down and half assed.

The first time you play it is immensely intense. If you can, play with friends and only use in game voice. 10/10 moments when the ghost starts to hunt and everyone has to run and hide for their lives and radio comms go static. When it’s all clear talking over voice “everyone alive? Uh oh I don’t hear Steve…” then you find their body in some wild pose, dead.

Edit: Forgot to add, if you’re one of the few with a VR headset, it is an even better experience in VR. Pants extra brown. The experience of hiding in a closet as the ghost tries to open it, and the feeling of actually grabbing and holding onto the doors to keep them closed is mega fun. Also walking around and actually aiming the flashlight, and reaching to your shoulder to mimic the old school walkies with the should mounted extensions.

+1 Jellyfin is the best!

Cant paywalls be bypassed by just using reader mode?

I’ve tried all the ways, and Bottles was the easiest by far. Make a bottle for games from the high seas, using bottles’ preset for games. Once created change the wine from Soda to whatever you want or just use Soda.

Then inside the bottle look for install dependencies and grab things like vc redist, and dot net. Once that’s done under the bottles’ UI choice “Run Executable” and chose the .exe for the game’s installer. If it doesn’t work as expected, click the cog/gear and select the checkbox for “Run in Terminal” to see where it goes wrong and search online for what fix is needed.

The only time I had to troubleshoot with terminal, was for a mspatcha.dll problem. It was an easy fix: the bottle has a Legacy Wine Tools > Configuration > Libraries, where I found mspatcha listed, then changed it to “Native then Built in.”

Hope that helps.

This also handles the device settings and open-razer driver, it’s more than just RBG control. I use it to set polling rate and DPI, my mouse doesn’t have rbg, either.

OK…

Free to play Call of Duty clone.

My memory isn’t the best on this, as it was close to 10 years ago, I just now had to look up some YouTube’s and images to see which things I recognized.

I was using Arch and I’m pretty sure I managed everything with Virtual Machine Manager.

I know 100% I used vfio, and I wanna say qemu as well.

The one thing I remember most, was I couldn’t use Virt Manager’s GUI to just straight up add the Windows SSD. I had to use the GUI to add something similar, but then had to go and directly edit the XML. It took me forever through trial and error, but I wanna say I finally was like fuck it, and changed the XML entry to just straight up /dev/nvme and it worked.

Never had any bootloader issues. I think I let Windows have its own EFI boot partition it installs automatically, but also gave my arch install its own EFI boot partition as well. When I wanted to boot Windows bare metal, I would just press F8 on boot and select the Windows Boot manager entry, as opposed to booting into systemd-boot and selecting Arch or Windows.

I did the vfio passthrough years ago, rocking two monitors like I always have.

Top monitor was Linux only via Display Port. Bottom was Linux via HDMI, and Windows via DP. Small cheap AMD GPU for all the Linux, and big boy AMD GPU was only for Windows VM.

I would turn on the VM, and then toggle my bottom monitor from HDMI to DP to game, and then the reverse when finished. Could be done all the same without the top monitor.

A neat trick I figured out, was the Windows VM was actually a bare metal Windows install on a separate SSD that could be booted into normally, but also passed through to the VM when using Linux.

Microsoft is gonna close off access to their NT kernel, eventually. When that happenes all anticheat will have to be in userspace. I’d imagine at that point all of those games become Linux compatible.

Bazzite if you want no bullshit easy mode and bulletproof.

Cachyos if you wanna tinker and squeeze out that last 10% in performance.

Supposedly CachyOS works amazing on handhelds. Arch based, too.

Zen rocks, I under estimated how much faster it would be with the AVX2 build!

Look for the option when installing that is along the lines of “wipe entire drive.”

If you want Debian, check out Vanilla OS. They reached a milestone not too long ago, and it’s a bulletproof distro. It containerizes most programs, it’s immutable, and has atomic updates.

Someone already mentioned, turn off secure boot in your BIOS/uefi settings.

Will be interesting to see if 343 just sucks at making Halo games, or if their engine was holding them back. Or both I suppose.

I hope multiple Halo games confirmed means some singleplayer/coop story stand alone titles. Seperate and quatantined from the online live service multiplayer titles.

Way more reliable, and just as optimized for out of the box gaming.

Its a competitive game, it’s going to be free 2 play, so it’s naturally going to attract all kinds of people, including the heated, toxic, and as you put it hard-R league players. It comes with the territory of playing a competitive PvP only game. Report them, laugh at their smooth brains, mute them, and move on.

I’ve been playing quite a bit since May, and I’ve encountered way more friendly people in voice comms than not. Most matches are silent with people only using the ping system/wheel the game has baked in. About 1/2 of my losses are hit with a “gg ez” in text chat though. I respond along the lines of congrats bro, you’re better than me at a closed beta testing game with an NDA. 😂

Running cover for them though…Cmon now…thats a huge stretch…
