I realise it's a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it's running the A/C.

Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it's a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

I meant to do this when I built my old system back in 2018, but I found the handful of games I regularly play worked okay on Linux so I never got around to it, and Linux game compatibility has improved leaps and bounds from there.

If it's a Steam game, for most of them these days you only have to tick a box in Steam's settings to tell it to use Proton for all games and the game will just work when you click play.

You might give it a try. Or don't, I'm not your mother.

I've stopped giving my father advice on computers or electronics because he has never yet followed any of it.

He gets really upset that I won't spend time researching things to give him advice to ignore, so presumably he gets something out of it but I'm not sure what.

They've done new lighting and stuff like DLSS that applies to the entire game, and they've also done a bunch of new textures and art assets for some of the game.

You joke, but I did a ten year old dungeon earlier today and the group talked about how much more colorful it was.

If stuff is designed for big servers that run Linux, it's easier to get it to run on a desktop PC if the PC runs Linux too because then it's the same thing except much less powerful.

Okay, but they're still calling it GOD OF WAR RAGNAROK DELUXE EDITION.

IIRC VLC on Windows uses it's own included ffmpeg libraries for decoding so you don't need to mess around with Windows codecs.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

- Percy Shelley

Summon kidney stone.

I mean, that works well enough to go to space, so why can't it get you to the store?

That many hours spent to pull a stunt like that. And I thought people who played healers in MMORPGs were powered by hate.
