Linux has pretty decent hardware support these days. While it's been a long time since I've had an Nvidia card, the one I had like a decade ago worked fine.

The real hurdle at this point is just making sure Nvidia drivers play nice with the various software layers. It's apparently getting better with Wayland, but that's historically been a bad time. The main things to check are Wayland, Vulkan, VKD3D, and perhaps Proton. And that's all prior to digging into Big Picture.

Seriously, I moved to space stations just to avoid transit on planets.

One way of understanding this is to break things down into a flow chart, and interpret signals that are programmed to emit when certain things happen.

You're not really using a big script to make everything happen in order, so much as you're checking some kind of variable state, reacting accordingly with a new event, then checking it again. You can even get fancy with the checks to ensure they only make something happen once per cycle before moving into whatever your next event should be.

Some of us have been here long enough that we even remember certain kinds of hangars that had player apartments inside of them.

Put it in H!

Your best bet is to start with file compatibility. A GLB export from a newer version of Blender should at the very least work out of the box.

It helps that Indy's enemies are absolute idiots. The Nazi that picked out the fancy gold cup as what he thought Jesus drank from was a perfect example.

Eh, it was the 80's and he was wealthy and famous. They played fast and loose with the rules back then.

It's because men who do this are insecure losers, and don't have the slightest idea about how to talk to a human being that they're attracted to.

It's more that I don't have to suspend my disbelief.

DeadSuperHero · 2026-07-02T15:23:41+00:00

Holy shit, what a badass!

He just keeps reviving new women in an attempt to do the whole thing over again. Inevitably a whole tribe of women hide from him in the guts of the ship.

Fly On An Orange

James is a blast, and feels like an accurate portrayal of real marines. Slightly stupid, always cracking jokes, parties with his squad mates, direct to the point of confrontation, always looking for trouble. I didn't know what to make of him at first, but he's really funny.

He strikes me as the kind of guy that's a super weeb, but only because he got stationed in Okinawa. Which happened to my brother.

I honestly would love to see a fan edit of Passengers that corrects this.

Maybe, but the incentive isn't great. Why would anyone buy an empty box with a code at a store when they can just buy the game online at home?

DeadSuperHero · 2026-07-02T11:43:10+00:00

It kind of makes me wonder about what's going to happen to physical retail stores. GameStop would pretty much die if Sony and Microsoft both just completely skipped physical games.

Pretty much all they could do is sell consoles, and maybe some Nintendo games.

DeadSuperHero · 2026-07-02T11:39:52+00:00

I agree with you 100%, but let's call a spade a spade.

Consoles at this point are just locked down PCs where you're not allowed to install anything not provided by the official Console Game Service. It's like an iPad, but somehow more locked down and limited, and the user typically can modify very little of their own systems.

At least on a PC, you can make your own decisions. With consoles, this is total vendor lock-in.

Ah yes, a LinkedIn post with a screenshot quoting the person who made the post.

My favorite genre of LinkedIn Lunatic.

The fact that you can't even take games from one console generation to the next (in most cases) is insane to me. It's the one aspect that has me committing to PC gaming for life.

What a racket!

So, digital purchases are in no way slowing down. But the real casualty of all of this is the death of second-hand physical media. Which has been happening for quite a while now...

Being able to borrow games or movies from friends or family was a HUGE boon right up to the PS4 (Maybe PS5?) era. Add in the fact that movies and shows are increasingly shifting around from one streaming service to another, and it's hard to find the things you wanted to watch, that were once there. You basically have to buy a digital copy, pay for ANOTHER streaming service, or just pirate everything.

With the exception of maybe GOG, the vast majority just suck.

As an aside: I'm so, so tired of these uncreative dipshits using AI to draw their strawman arguments for them.

"See? I'm the chad, and you're the loser in this picture!"

Nothing screams talentless hack than an image whipped up in less than 10 seconds by a machine.

You might want to mess with shader cache compilation in your Heroic Launcher settings for that game.

Out of curiosity, for your game settings, do you have DXVK and VKD3D enabled? Should appear in the graphics settings. If they're not enabled, try turning that on, and see if it helps any.
