Usually it's fine. To be honest, most new release AAA games have problems on Windows too (and sometimes it's worse, such as the first part of the FF7 remake).

Have a look at the Linux VR Adventures Wiki for possible VR solutions.

EDIT: And this compatibility site akin to ProtonDB I just found out about.

The original impetus to do these comparisons was that there were reports of significant motion blur on the Switch 2, so comparing it was the whole point.

And indeed, it's even worse than the original LCD Switch display.

These are quirky in terms of plot but not so much in terms of gameplay (at least your modern examples). That's fine to a point but I'd like to see a bit more variety.

I thought it was clear from context I was talking about X.

Most of those are lesser evils compared to X, and that's probably the best you can hope for. And Bluesky is the obvious alternative lesser evil choice if you want a like for like replacement and aren't open to Mastodon.

If you're technically inclined, self-host navidrome or jellyfin.

If you just want music and don't care about the streaming part, bandcamp (although it does have some basic streaming I believe.

If you want streaming and aren't technically inclined, Tidal.

I get where you're coming from, but it's not like there aren't multiple obvious alternatives (and not just on the fediverse). And someone being clued in enough to boycott Spotify should have no trouble finding those alternatives. Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

But agreed that people could stand to be a bit more tactful about it and not immediately go on the attack.

Not to mention giving 100s of millions of dollars to fund Joe Rogan and his extreme right-wing propaganda.

Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they've been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don't want, but it's a somewhat obtuse process.

I’ve just never personally voted using RCV on a ballot that requires you to rank that many candidates for a valid ballot. That seems unnecessary.

Several implementations of it in Australia are full preferential, and require ranking all candidates (and there's a kind of hybrid optional implementation in the federal senate where there is a minimum but you can rank as many as you want). The NYC one is still optional preferential actually, which is in my view a bad system because people get tricked into "just voting 1" and their vote consequently has less power to influence the result.

Should be used by FSR4 in the future for RDNA4+ games too, which will be faster than using fp16 (which it currently uses).
