Procedurally generated, open world, play as I want... on top of the excellent first game, with a brilliant dev. Nailed on purchase!

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: fabertaweI guess I'm not the target market but last year I swapped my GTX 970 for an RX 6600. Roughly double the performance for a lower TDP! (148 v 132 if I'm not mistaken).

I don't know these values of any card, so just for the records: Most important for average computer users is probably the power draw at normal desktop usage, not the last Watt a card could possibly pull during a high demand game.

Well I just assumed a card with a lower TDP would idle at a lower amount as well (maybe naively). Anyway, I've had a quick search and it seems the 970 idles at 9W and the 6600 at 3W. I'm happy with that.

I love my gaming (especially FPS) and could have quite happily continued with the 970. I have no problem playing games at lower quality settings, I really don't see much difference, seriously. It certainly doesn't impact on my enjoyment. So, the doubling of performance will see me through many more years of gaming.

As has been mentioned, the eye watering increases in power charges doesn't make these new cards appealing to many who might have previously considered one.

Quoting: dpanterThe review score is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules.
The reviews themselves are immensely useful, I don't really care about the score but reading users comments about things like terrible controls or lack of developer support is extremely valuable. I prefer to form my own opinion, but I'm likely to pass on a game when the reviews are scathing and based in reality.

I take the same sort of approach. No matter the review rating I will still read through the reviews to get a flavour for myself. It's something I've also always done with general "shopping site" reviews, as something rated really well could actually be revealed to be a gamble after reading the more negative reviews (which can often give useful insights).

I may be overly cautious buying stuff but then again I don't have a money tree in the garden!

"install-podman" wouldn't work until I'd set a password for user "deck". Also, trying to use the on screen keyboard is a total pain, especially with no CTRL and arrow keys.

So... attach a proper keyboard until I've set up SSH access. Looks promising though. I'm also going to create an encrypted dir with EncFS for my (Pale Moon) browser profile, etc.

Quoting: RixalaburA buddy and me started new world. Only to build a nice new base and keep discovery close to base. Once that big update goes live, exploring galore!

Same. I've been exploring out around my base but only a short distance. I put so much into this base I don't want to start a new world!

Excellent series of both entertaining and educational articles! I came to Linux late (2006 - I was using RISCOS for years), so I find this stuff very interesting, thanks.

Quoting: mphuZI didn't find any differences in the video...

I can never see any difference in these things... time I booked an appointment with the optician

p.s. must be why I'm more than happy with an RX 6600!
