Upgrading my graphics drivers from 470 to 560 did the trick! 560 is the latest officially supported by System76/PopOS (and is the latest option in my pop shop.)

And that fixed my issue with Baldur’s Gate 3 getting stuck on the loading screen at 100%! Two problems solved for the price of one!

I had an issue before where on 560 my computer wouldn’t wake from sleep mode and would just crash. I never upgraded because if that, as I sleep my computer daily. I’ll have to see if that issue persists now or was patched out.

Thank you so much!

EDIT: For anyone who may know anything about the crashing-from-suspend issue, I’m asking for help here.

Yeah that looks better! Ty.

Who is this wise sage, Devo? Are they internet search, wait the 80’s band with the construction helmets?

Whip it? Whip it good??

Usually, yes.

I can attest that not/postponing having kids drastically reduces the number of responsibilities. Many of my friends had kids younger and are in drastically different scenarios than I am.

Is it just one friend? How would you compare using FFS versus creating and sharing a torrent?

Never heard of paintball 2, but dang, an fps from 1998 that’s still recording updates??? That’s nuts!

I had minor issues when I first installed, but I worked them all out.

Install and give it a week. Seven days. If you can’t get it all figured out by then head back to windows. If you can figure it out, you probably won’t go back.

47 upvotes and not a single thanks?

Hey, thanks.

Also, I’m having an issue extracting this using the default “archive manager” in linux. I get “An error occurred while extracting files” and it crashes when launching on windows. Did anyone else have a similar problem?

It may happen once the Switch has reached its end-of-life. There would be less chance of N going after someone if their console is dead.

No, not impossible. I know they went after the melee community. But whoever picks up the torch would have less of a crosshair on their back at that point in time.

WHOA. Yeah ok, I just thought that they were organized by date. This is the way. Thank you!

Mostly, probably.

I would expect the legal teams to slow down once the switch becomes obsolete. (Like the SNES, GCN, etc.) At that point some other group will take up the mantle and patch whatever is broken.

… That’s my guess.

Cool, but all of those alterative clients still require ARLs. They even link to the same ARL page I linked to above, the one with outdated ARLs.

Yeah, there was a big thread on it not too long ago, which is what got me started down that road. But that thread is pretty old now so I didn’t want to resurrect it.

Ah, I should have been more specific. Back in the day I got my GBA new for $75 retail. (With inflation that’s probably a lot more now.)

Used DS lites are great, especially if you can fix the broken hinges and screens.

You’re right! My point no longer stands. Removing the disk drive would then save about $100 from the console, which makes sense to remove if you’re cutting costs and most players play digital anyways.

~also if you’re pushing digital games.

All good points in the comments, but something I haven’t seen a anyone talk about yet:

WHY is a DISK DRIVE $80??? All it does is read a disk. Any encryption on the disk would be decrypted on the console. External disk drives are like $20. If you specially brand them maybe you could go up to $40.

But $80? That’s like a Gameboy Advance. That’s a miyoo mini plus. That’s an entire console in itself.

That’s because in almost every instance, you only need to push the slider 1/3 to 1/2 strength. Seriously.

At max strength your eyes can splay too far apart and it’s uncomfortable.

The heroic launcher is the way to go here. It installs the games in desktop mode and automatically adds them to steam. Compatibility is, for me, the same as if I had installed through steam.

Edit: assumed I was on a steam deck post. On desktop I also use heroic, again, compatibility is great. There’s a checkbox to add to steam automatically if you want.

Awesome! I’ll check this out!!

I found the megathread from Lemmy when I switched over, I thought it was lemmy-based.
