Asking as someone who doesn't know anything about any of this:

Does more B mean better?

It's just that it's incredibly wasteful/polluting.

Which actually makes it illegal in some countries, too

It can pull weight at 4k, but I'm not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.

There are many games that cut it awfully close with 12GB at 1440p, for some it's actually not enough. And when Nvidia pushes Raytracing as hard as they do, not giving us the little extra memory we need for that is just a dick move.

Whatever this card costs, 12GB of vram is simply not appropriate.

I mean, landmarks don't make much sense to use on a 2D, birds eye view map

Many games might actually be DRM free without you realizing. Look them up on PC Gaming Wiki, and maybe you'll like what you see.

With some games it's as simple as launching them directly from the executable to circumvent annoying launchers and accounts.

Something most people probably don't even think of doing anymore, and why would they. But it never hurts to try.

Well, yes. Which is why I mentioned the Spacers Choice edition.

It doesn't seem to have the same specific issues on Windows though, apart from generally performng worse than anyone would expect it to.

So I reckon I'll just try and see for myself if that's true. Because the problems many Linux users (me included) seem to have according to ProtonDB make the game borderline unplayable.

Sometimes not even borderline.

Anyone playing Outer Worlds, the Spacers Choice Edition? Suuuper annoying issues, I might actually install it on Windows instead

Edit:
Flawless on Windows, general performance seems to be a tad better, too.

Which is great to see, because that means it's not the game itself, and that maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues

Does Connect You work for you? I can send messages, but if someone replies, the notification only shows their number instead of the name I saved them as, and the reply doesn't show up in the chat itself

Never heard of ChimpStackr, I'll have to try it for my macros, desperately need more dof there

Ubisofts wet dream, yes

I remember seeing your original post.

Now, how about one step further:
How in heavens can you make Thunar show embedded thumbnails instead of auto-generated ones?

There's this, and there's just trolling, like giving most innovative gameplay to Starfield. The internet's gonna internet, what can you do.
