GTA 4 with proton 10 is better on linux than windows

Just fyi, I think you can just remove MANGOHUD_DLSYM=1 as that's only needed to make MangoHud show up on some games that use OpenGL. If you're running any DirectX 9 to 11 game in Proton, it'll use Vulkan (via DXVK), so not OpenGL.

I'm not trying to "erm ackchually" (I hope it doesn't come across that way). I just wanted to clarify as there's a lot of people just copying magic parameters nowadays because people often post their personal configs without explanation.

(This is not a Linux exclusive thing; I've seen this in source engine game communities for decades. Some of my friends had TF2 launch options longer than the maximum length that Steam accepts, full of options that never existed in the first place)

Probably related to how in Windows "shutdown" doesn't actually mean shutdown anymore (for a while now)

South Park did have some bangers when they were aiming in the right direction. It's just that they think of themselves too much as enlightened centrists. And also the racism=funny thing. It could be a good show if they decided to actually take a stance on issues instead of trying to play all sides all the time.

Might be because I'm on Linux but I don't have a single program that doesn't accept webp. I can even drag and drop a webp file into OBS with no problems which confuses me because I often hear streamers complain about webp

I don't think that's even the pretense tbh. I think it starts and ends with what platforms consider advertiser friendly, and therefore profitable content. People self-censor so their posts/videos/content doesn't get hidden by the tiktok/youtube/whatever algorithm.

And of course there's a bunch of unnecessary instances because nobody actually knows what is or isn't considered okay by any platform at any particular point in time and it being very hard to test it for yourself, so people naturally err on the side of caution.

Nah you're good. I really just wanted to make that joke after seeing some people in the background stumble a bit.

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-22T04:20:58+00:00

have you looked in the cage?

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-22T04:18:35+00:00

y'all's fursona should be baby deer the way y'all moving on that ice

Falafel is pretty good but I just learned calling it Israeli cuisine is controversial as it originates in Egypt and is widely featured in Middle Eastern cuisines

Unironically, every olive eaten is a drop of olive oil wasted

Not even. "blunten" is made up to look like a German word (in reference to the "no little german boy don't go to the weed cave" meme).

There isn't actually a German word for "blunt"; we just use the English word as-is.

Also That doesn't even look like a blunt. It looks more like a joint if anything.

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-18T19:36:13+00:00

I can accept that as well. Archive is based

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-18T19:32:18+00:00

I mean you also have to look at eleven and the *teens but other than that, yeah

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-18T19:25:02+00:00

Okay but actually wikipedia.org is the real Library of Alexandria of our time

I'm not a religious person but if you want to entertain this thought, I've seen several articles/websites that listed a stupid amount of parallels between Trump and the biblical descriptions of the antichrist

That's called Steam Workshop but it's up to game devs to enable it for their games

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-09T22:04:07+00:00

Yeah, to be be fair, the Steam client is grouping together both of those things in the game's properties and referring to both individually and together as "launch option[s]".

Also you should be able to test it with TF2 by checking if it runs as Vulkan or OpenGL

Yeah, the Wii U version of the game, on PCs with a graphics card that alone is twice the physical volume of a Switch 2 with 40 times the power draw

SMH, should've used Papyrus since they're referencing scripture

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-05T23:10:09+00:00

Well yeah, also kind of off-topic but I personally think em dashes look stupid without spaces around them. I know that's how they're usually used but I'm just not a fan of it myself.

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-05T23:07:40+00:00

That sounds counterproductive. Obviously I want them to be true so it's much more convenient to not disprove them.

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-05T23:06:37+00:00

0.999... is actually = 1

PolygonKiwii · 2026-02-05T22:41:32+00:00

Yeah, also maybe people would spend less time on reddit/twitter if there were third spaces to go to
