I’ve been playing BG3 for about 70h on the steam deck. Performance isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely playable on 30fps and low graphics. I’ve just got to Baldurs Gate city and I noticed the audio stutters slightly in busy areas. That’s the only noticeable performance issue I’ve had.

I have only played it on the steam deck so I have nothing to compare it against however. I’d love to play it on something more powerful so I don’t have to see it in potato-level graphics tho 😅

I don’t think there’s a magic wand to stop it… I just drown it out by listening to podcasts.

I’ve never really thought of it as a bad thing. You can still say nothing, or “I want to speak with a lawyer before I answer any questions”.

I’ve always considered it to be more about a line of questioning at trial. If you’ve invented an alibi, the prosecution can ask you “why are you only coming up with this excuse now but you didn’t at the time?”. You might then have a good reason for this, such as “I didn’t think it was a good idea to answer questions without first consulting a lawyer”.

The American model of having immunity if you just stay quiet is a bit odd in comparison.

When you get arrested in England, you do have a right to remain silent, but it might be used against you. The police will typically say:

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

Valid, if they created this update before November 2023 when 6.6 was released, and have needed to test Steam OS with the 6.5 kernel for a whole year before releasing it.

Weird that they went to kernel 6.5 which is already a year old, rather than going to the LTS version 6.6 which is still in support.

Not a “Starmerite sycophant” whatever the hell that is. I am not a fervent supporter of any political party. I simply do not believe that Labour are inherently islamophobic - I’ve seen nothing to suggest that. Im not trying to cover anything up or deflect by saying that the Tories are Islamophobic. It’s relevant because the Tories have been in power and controlling foreign policy up until a month or so ago. If the Tories were still in charge, there would have been no change to the UK gov’s position.

Not that I think that Islamaphobia is the driving factor behind support for Israel, nor do I pretend to fully understand, besides the obvious fact that they’re an existing ally and were attacked by terrorism which kicked this off.

The tide is turning against the Israelian government’s scorched-earth policy but it’s taking too long, especially from the US side. Seemingly the Israelian people are also taking issue with their government’s position which is more pressure than we can exert from our side.

Btw Jeremy Corbyn was vindicated for what, defending Hamas and Hezbollah? Plenty of people have stood up for Palestine over the years without standing up for Hamas. Palestinians deserve to be free, not controlled by Hamas terrorists.

Labour has a far far less of an islamaphobia issue than the Conservatives.

Labour did previously have a antisemitism issue however, and undoubtedly they’re hesitant to do anything which might be tagged antisemitic (even if it’s not).

But despite that, they haven’t been in power for long and have already done far more than the Tories did.

Well, it looks like reverting to Stable seemed to at least partially fix it for me. The keyboard is still higher on the screen, but at least it fits to the screen width correctly. Thanks!

I couldn’t find any mention of anyone else with this issue around the web or on valve’s GitHub issue tracker, so I assumed it was something dumb I’d done rather than a bug.

I am currently on the latest beta - I’ll test the stable/preview channels in case that makes a difference.

They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.

Yeah, this isn’t that bad. It’s just a suggestion after running an apt upgrade. NPM has similar plugs which I don’t find too annoying.

In fact its not even as intrusive as NPM’s funding requests, as it is only 2 lines of text, plus it looks like Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use.

Their mindset is “Fossil fuels are still needed now, and if my company doesn’t grab them, someone else will” and it’s just so easy to continue getting those short term profits for their shareholders.

They may have long term plans for investment in renewables, but they won’t enact them until forced to (by government or market conditions). I imagine oil costs (and therefore profits) will skyrocket as it becomes more scarce, and they’d want to ride that all the way to the bank (and hell) before pivoting.

Basically, capitalism will be capitalism - its only moral is money. The only way is to have governments worldwide force them to change, and that ain’t gonna happen.

I use touchpad to look and spin around quickly, but gyro to make small aiming adjustments.

What’s wrong with the trackpad? I find using the trackpad to look around in FPS games is much better than the right stick.

You’re not technically wrong, but it’s a nuanced issue and people should treat it as such rather than black and white.

Sunak saying “no one can change sex” without any qualifying statements is just designed to inflame and divide people.
