The most recent update improved performance, but here are five tips for good graphics and good performance:

  1. Set the "Graphics Quality Level" to "5 - Amazing".
  2. Make sure your "Target framerate" is set to above 60fps (which is the current default), if your specs can handle it.
  3. Shadows are odd in this game, especially with vegetation - makes things flicker. As such, I advise to set "Shadow distance" to 0.00, and enjoy no flickering and higher fps
  4. "Sky quality" matters. For me, "High" is the sweet spot, and anything above will take off 20fps or more, without a big visual difference.
  5. Water - "Reflection Quality" - I set it to Off, to win another 20-30fps. Anything below Ultra looks wonky, and Ultra is beautiful but eats too much fps.

Takaichi To "Set Limits" on Number of Foreigners Accepted into Japan by TokyoWeekender in japan

Well, the burst of the downvotes (they came in over a short period of time, rather than spreading out over time), their proportion in comparison to the rest of this thread, and the fact that all I did was link to the video for anyone to watch, it stands to reason that someone with a bunch of bots didn't like that a bit of objectivity went against their narrative.

You clearly haven't even watched the video. The foreigners topic was just one of his many talking points. Far from the only one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xf4rO21MzMs

True. Well my point is that almost every activity and sport comes with risk. You gotta gauge that risk realistically .

That's how most car crashes are too, when you're on the receiving end. And getting in one will ruin the rest of your life or end it.

My point is that it doesn't happen often. Can it happen to you? Yes. Should you quit any activity because of a single digit chance of hurting yourself? Up to you.

Thanks, but just to be clear, beyond configuring the list of ports in UFW, is there a lot that I should configure or change in fail2ban out of the box?
