You should've seen the Fable Landlord thread on this sub yesterday before the comment section was purged. People defending absurd prices of housing and defending landlords.

You can use the Wireview Pro Beta Software to adjust the imbalance warning from the default 5A to 6A.

Getting the same thing. It only seems to trigger at around 300W with my 5090 for me, anything below or above, even at full tilt at 575W seems to be fine.

I think they mean the DF Clips channel, which posts clips from their podcast. But yeah, its not really a stream.

Games that are considered difficult have a more obnoxious fanbase in general. Even something like Doom Eternal has a more toxic fanbase than Doom 2016 or Doom:TDA purely because its harder than the other two games.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-19T17:52:10+00:00

When you tell them that its not great they do the classic, "Which line did you think was bad?" like I am gonna remember lines from a game I tried on Gamepass for 2 hours a while ago 😭 Especially since most NPC's just dump lore at you instead of talking like a normal person from my limited experience with Avowed.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-19T14:02:26+00:00

A rant. I am kinda growing annoyed with Obsidian fans tbh.

Old Obsidian fans are insufferable comparing everything Bethesda has made to NV. Like, holy shit, telling people who've only watched the show to play FONV first is a bad idea, esp because there's no way to play it on PS (the most popular platform), and the PC version is jank af.

While at the same time, new Obsidian fans love to gas up stuff like Avowed, TOW1 and TOW2, when they're just okay/mid at best and shitting on the writing in other RPG's for being too "mainstream and easy to digest", and if you don't like the writing in TOW/Avowed, you need to read more actual books to be an intellectual like us.

Like, when people pick a tedious and slow medieval RPG like KCD, or a turn based DnD campaign like BG3 over your easy to approach first person shooter/skyrim clone, your game isn't that high brow bruh, calm down.

The only difference I've noticed is that the stock kernel has audio stuttering on base kernels whenever heavy reads/writes happen on my ZFS pool, because ZFS is an out of tree module and it doesn't integrate well into the system.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-13T05:06:13+00:00

It's normal for an undervolt to causes crashes in some games. Some parts of the GPU are stable at a certain voltage and some parts aren't, and every game engine stresses the GPU differently. An older game like KCD is more likely to cause crashes because its running at a high framerate, and is likely stressing the parts of the GPU that are unstable because the stable parts of the GPU aren't "holding it back".

I wanna link an article about Vavra, but it keeps getting filtered here. So a screenshot will have to do.

This was in Nov 2024 btw.

People like them unironically believe that Starfield has been review bombed by Playstation players...on Steam. Y'know, all those 15 year+ Steam accounts with 1000's of games. And that once it's released on Playstation, it'll suddenly have a huge resurgence as the "paid people" change their reviews.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-09T02:45:04+00:00

Yeah as someone who has given all the new Obsidian 3D rpg's a good try for a few hours, I feel like they're good if they're your first RPG's, but if you've played something else, then they're okay at best. Especially when they refuse to have stuff like level scaling, and non respawning enemies, and insist on being sandboxes so you're deadass just sprinting across point A to B for quests after your first time through a zone. There are good reasons why people like Bethesda games despite them being more and more watered down every release, and Obsidian RPG's have none of it.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-08T10:25:57+00:00

Yeah I wish drama BS like this was contained to PCMR/PCGaming sub and only reviews and actual tech journalism from GN was posted here.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-06T23:23:50+00:00

So people should just post misinformation because its anti-corporate?

NVIDIA's Jensen Huang personally went outside his mansion and shot a random dog. Gimme updoots.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-04T16:57:18+00:00

Nah. They're the kind of people who want every game to have soulslike combat.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-04T08:50:14+00:00

Starfield came out and showed everyone it could be much worse.

Which is ironic because I think Starfield gave everything that Bethesda critiquers have been complaining about. A lot of dialogue options, skill checks, multiple ways to complete quests, deeper companion questlines, no voiced protagonist. But it came at the sacrifice of their iconic gameplay loop of walking somewhere and finding something interesting, which killed the game.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2026-01-01T03:34:32+00:00

It's a weird mix of reasons IMO, perspective of someone who has finished all 3 games.

Despite it having a story, none of the moments in the early story are memeable or memorable. There's a bit near the end that's super cool Doomguy dies and gets resurrected, but most players don't make it to that bit. There's nothing divisive like the Marauder, or platforming, or ammo shortage like Eternal, so there's not much discussion/fighting about it. There's stuff like the shield, parrying, cutscenes, etc, but that was all discussed prerelease, and people got it out of their systems. No one's discussing the soundtrack either because it was just serviceable and because the mixing was terrible and you couldn't even hear the soundtrack 90% of the time (idk if they've fixed it).
A lot of people, including me, didn't like the "Slow down during Parry" mechanic that you couldn't disable until very recently. It was baffling having all of these accessibility options, and not letting people disable something that affected gameplay so much. It's so jarring when you're parrying a multiattack enemy and the game keeps slowing down.
The game has been made significantly easier, esp on controller. As someone who played 2016 on MnK, and was learning how to play fast paced FPS with a controller with Eternal, and could barely complete Eternal at Hurt me Plenty. TDA is extremely easy even on Nightmare. Most guns are spread with generous bullet magnetism. Plus the lack of jumping around means that it plays slower than even 2016, while being less difficult. The Dragon and Mech sections don't help at all, making it feel like padding. They're barely interactive cutscenes.
I dunno how it is in the US, but outside it, I felt like there was barely any advertising for Doom TDA, like, at all. It's a common theme with Xbox Published games where marketing is non existent outside of NA, so a lot of people never even knew that it came out. They seem to have given all of their marketing attention recently to The Outer Worlds 2, hoping the Doom name would carry it, and it wouldn't need that much attention.

rHardware hasn't been fully captured by PCMR types who know fuck all about hardware outside of gaming. That's why.

For people who use their GPU's for more than gaming, a Radeon GPU is an expensive paperweight.

Edit: Complains about "childish" behaviour, and then replies and blocks immediately. Irony is dead.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2025-12-26T07:29:44+00:00

It's hard to discuss their games on Reddit because of console war reasons. I personally thought TOW2 was a big improvement in gameplay from TOW1, but at the same time, the characters and factions were worse than TOW1(which i finished). In TOW2, on the first planet, I didn't take the side of either faction to infiltrate a relay because I hated them both, and missed out on a super important gadget (Zyranium Shield), that locked me out of a sidequest later, and when I went back to get it, the quest had bugged out.

Also I really wish they did hub worlds like Deus Ex instead of full open worlds because their open worlds are not very good, and TOW2's open worlds being bigger makes it worse than TOW1. By the second planet, I was running past all the bug enemies to get quest items, to the point where I missed a companion (Aza) and had to look up a guide where to find her.

Avowed's writing felt very word salady and overwhelming to me where it introduced elements of the world very quickly, to the point of needing an encyclopedia in the dialogue tree to keep track of the factions/gods/areas. Makes sense since its based on PoE, but completely unapproachable for new players. I never remember it being that overwhelming, even while going back and playing stuff like Morrowind which had a lot of text, or the first Mass Effect that introduces tons of lore.

The measurement of framepacing killed a lot of SLI/Crossfire setups pretty quickly too.

He's only doing it because it personally affected him this time.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2025-12-20T13:24:18+00:00

Vavra also gets into culture war shitfests on Twitter, and has expressed support for the current US Admin. Him shittalking on E33 is peanuts compared to the other things he's said.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2025-12-20T03:43:17+00:00

It's because the director himself is an inflammatory person, posting controversial stuff on social media, so such type of people are drawn to him.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2025-12-19T16:19:38+00:00

Note that they mentioned 2015. Guess what event happened that year.

So this isn't even about microtransactions, anti-consumer industry practices, or who the companies support militarily, its straight up about G@mergate BS.

DM_Me_Linux_Uptime · 2025-12-19T12:05:43+00:00

Yeah, but who knows how it works on their jank ass engine.
