The problem with fosselize is that it's currently bugged, and happens to precompile way more things than are needed, such as all workshop content that you might not have installed which takes a really long time + bloats up the shader cache in size. On anything that's not low-end, it's pretty much a waste of time since shader compilation is easily done on runtime.

Some issues on the things I've mentioned that Valve hasn't seem to have responded yet: bloat, time

Just as a PSA, the feature is currently somewhat bugged and really should be avoided. For anything that's not a low-end PC, your machine can handle the compilation during runtime easily and do it much faster.

For low-ends, it compiles so many unnecessary shaders (such as all workshop content that you might not even have), it often takes 10x longer to compile everything (which you have to recompile on every driver or game cache update) than just playing the game and watching a replay first or something.

Streamers really do be instantly reversing years of their character development just by getting banned from an internet platform for a few weeks

Yeah, though there's also the phenomena of older folks generally being more against change and clinging in the past more, the idea being that you have less future to look forward to (since you're closer to death than your birth) so instead you look towards the past and become nostalgic about it.

I have prior MOBA experience and played Deadlock for around 50 hours already, and it's a good game IMO. Of course, it's not perfect and I do have a couple issues with it but it kinda deserves the hype.

Sounds like skill issue to be honest - if you farm well and deny you don't fall far behind even if you eat dirt during the laning phase. Even if you get absolutely stomped and denied, there are still a lot of chances for you to return into the game by catching waves and pushing them out and jungling.

I'm kinda mid-to-high MMR right now (to the point where I can't really play together with friends as we get always separated), and I've had so many games where I went 0/5 in the laning phase with a soul deficit, then ended up jungling/pushing waves/jumping on enemies if they were alone and then suddenly being top or close to top in souls on my team.

Welcome to the club - after starting to use window managers around 3 years ago at this point, I haven't gone back. Whenever I'm forced to use Windows or a regular DE, I start instinctively abusing virtual desktops feature lol

It's not as simple as pronouns in the English language when it comes to 'latinx'. The word is not that easy to pronounce to someone who knows Spanish but doesn't know English all that well, which are the people this word is supposed to include. It's quite literally imposing English language norms on the Spanish language which can be considered offensive in itself.

Besides, personal opinion but it sounds stupid. If there's a need to call someone from Latin America a gender neutral term, latine is a much better alternative - it's more accepted within Spanish speaking communities, -e is already found in non-gendered names within Spanish language and just generally doesn't sound like something Musk would have written.

Man, I wish. The problem nowadays is that denuvo is actually effective - many titles that are rather popular but have denuvo DRM haven't been cracked for years at this point, so the only practical choice is to wait for years until those game companies stop their contract subscriptions and DRM gets removed.

RIP. Even though she got a lot of shit from the youtube community, at least she was a bit better than what youtube currently has.

Same as you, I was somewhat already leaning towards Linux but seeing Windows 10 EOL announced around 3 years ago and seeing what new "features" are going to be implemented to Windows 11, I decided to hop ship.

The main reason for switch was privacy concerns, got redpilled by Mental Outlaw while he was still making regular Linux videos.

I remember making a comment once on .ml about how a news source they linked isn't too credible, with mediafactbiascheck as source for that claim (as the site had historically gotten their news wrong), and the comment got removed for "blogspamming" or something lmao

There's certainly a degree of powertripping going over there with the mods, and I do feel like this one is gonna be removed as well for "bigotry" against mods or something
