I started playing red dead redemption 2 again. I got about 2/3 of the way through when it first came out on PC and then got distracted by other games, and it’s now been so long I just started again since I couldn’t remember where I got to. I forgot quite how good it was!

Uh no, the ground pins need to be at the bottom so they’re near the ground idiot

If I switch to another tty and run echo $SHELL it returns /usr/bin/zsh so it looks like it’s just kde

It’s definitely not that for me as I’m on Nvidia!

Yes that’s pretty much it, there’s a strip around 3/4 of the way down both displays that has white line flicker across it whenever there’s any movement on either screen.

That’s a good idea, I’ll try the endeavour OS live environment as that should be close enough to my setup

How would I tell if that’s the case? And I guess there’s nothing I can do about it if that is the cause?

Well at least I’m better than her other other boyfriend so I’ve got a chance!

Nah I’m not paying for steam either, they make enough money from game sales without double dipping

It should give you the option to abort the shutdown and sort out whatever process it is though! Or at least let you kill it manually from the shutdown terminal. I know you can technically do that with the emergency shell but I don’t like leaving that enabled. Thankfully I rarely get this issue anymore anyway

This is the Minecraft movie because money

It’s on Arch and Debian as well which means it’s on basically every distro

Well their last project was a success

How is the PC performance now? I heard it was pretty unplayable for a while so never got round to picking it up

Yeah I didn’t think I used cuda! Most reviews/benchmarks seem to place the 4070 ahead of the RX 7800XT though. The only reasons AMD is still tempting is the extra VRAM and better Linux compatibility. I’ll have to have a think about it, thanks for your help though!

Yeah it seems like a CPU upgrade isn’t worth it at the moment. I’m still a little unconvinced over AMD vs Nvidia though. I don’t use ray tracing much as it seems to basically function as a lag mode, but I am expecting it to be much better on a 40 series card. No idea if I use cuda or not as I’m not really sure what it is. However DLSS seems to be a lot better than FSR, and I haven’t run into any issues on Linux with my current Nvidia GPU. They also seem to be roughly the same price for the equivalent models here in the UK so AMD don’t even have price going for them. I would basically be choosing AMD for the Linux compatibility despite still doing a lot of my gaming on Windows and not having any driver issues anyway

Seems like I’m probably better off leaving it for now or just upgrading my gpu instead

Yeah I can’t justify a whole new PC at the moment, and with a cpu and gpu upgrade to something like a 4070 I should be able to get several more years out of it.

Cyberpunk wasn’t my only reason for an upgrade but it was one of the main ones, I’d heard the newer dlc content is quite cpu intensive. However I’ve just checked the steam page and the recommended requirements seem to have gone up again to a 7800X3d

More like Hestu because that’s a golden pile of shit

Yes it is!
