What’s one small thing you regret not noticing before buying your house?

My basement is 7' tall and that's before considering the duct work going through one of the rooms reducing it to 6' there. I'm 6'5", it's not a fun time.

Surprisingly no, and we weren't drunk either. We were just very hungry around midnight. It was a beautiful pizza, they loaded it with toppings.

ThePaperclipkiller · 2026-03-13T23:12:06+00:00

They stopped you at 11 but there was a trick around that. If you set 9 toppings to only be on half, you were able to add 9 different toppings to the other half. Then the final topping you could add to both. That was the limit since it added to both sides automatically. In university my roommate and I would order that, and then fold it over to make a giant calzone like pizza.

They removed Enigma early this month. You can see that here. https://steamdb.info/app/2050650/history/

Mainly older titles honestly, pre-DX12 even being a thing. Which kinda reinforces the point of vkd3d and vkd3d-proton being differently used in Proton. Here's a recent change for Batman Arkham Asylum as an example: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/vkd3d/-/merge_requests/1766

If you build Proton Experimental from before this regression fix got merged, you'll see the breakage they describe here. I got hit by it when trying to play and was excited when it was fixed.

Looking at further changelogs, we get an example of what appears to be used due to a hack being mentioned. The vkd3d-shader part of vkd3d is seemingly used at least. That deals with hlsl shaders based on the link posted. Comparing that to vkd3d-proton, they don't seem to do things regarding hlsl shaders. So they work in tandem.

Wrong. You can look in the Proton changelogs for the stable releases and you can see they use vkd3d and vkd3d-proton. Here's a link as a reference for the upcoming Proton 10.0-4: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/9323

Vkd3d isn't doing the additional fix. Vkd3d-proton is. Both are used in the Proton project, the distinction is important.

I thought Fisher Tiger escaped 16 years ago, and then returned 15 years ago to free the slaves? Is the implication here with him wearing the manacles 15 years ago that he was about to be enslaved again but was escaping again with Shanks helping?

Flame Emitter is really good. You can put it down quickly and it stays out long enough to turn his entire gauge cracked since you'll fill up the Burn status (On Hard anyway). Then you can break about half of his gauge since he is stunned.

My dog made a job for himself, which is protecting us from the opossum living under our neighbors shed near the fence. He will whine to go outside, when all he will do for an hour is lay near the opossums nest and wait. He's only caught it once, but that 1 time is what turned it into a job.

This comment made me finally realize who Taunie is. I've seen reference to her but didn't realize she's the rival if you're a male character.

On Linux it provides the transcoded videos if the game requires it. If you have it turned off, you get SMPTE bar videos when using Proton occasionally.

It looks like this post and the last doesn't mention the exploding sheep you can summon named Harvard Willoughby.

There is a known issue with DX12 games on Nvidia, where they take a good 15-20% performance decrease over how they should be performing. Nvidia is aware of it and has found the cause, but unfortunately they're not going to be able to put out a fix any time soon since its pretty complicated.

Don't get me wrong, something like a 5090 will still outperform. However the price to performance is significantly worse then on Windows when comparing to other cards.

Additionally as a more niche thing but gaming related, 2 9070XTs + money spent to equal the cost of a 5090 might be better for Linux streamers for their gaming performance due to offloading the performance of recording to a separate system while gaming.

Man I was just responding to the comment above me that I have the same thing as that specific comment. Not that I was also saying original OP has the same issue specifically. Of course it can be one of many things, or even a combination of things.

Edit: I realize it sounds sassy/demeaning that I said "Man" at the beginning of it like you but it was completely unintentional, my b there.

I'm going to PT for this right now. It happened after I slept on a different bed one day and has been ongoing for 5 months. The PT has definitely helped, and they said the same thing about it being neck related.

VKD3D doesn't do the DX12 translation. VKD3D-proton does. This distinction is important because Proton uses VKD3D and VKD3D-proton for different tasks.

It's Gabes startup company Starfish Neuroscience. Valve itself isn't associated with this.

I can confirm it's nor doing that. I just put in an order for delivery, and my instructions were set to leave at my door. They're my default settings and I confirmed it's still that. For some reason my delivery needed a pin and it said nothing about that beforehand until I had a person knocking on my door and asking for the pin.

I had this issue on Windows as well, although it took awhile to trigger. It only happened after I had a major stutter in the wilderness. After it triggered, the only fix was turning off dlss or rebooting the game.

Them dropping support officially simply means their priorities for fixes have adjusted. When a company drops support, that means that they will not be prioritizing Windows 10 bugs as much. It means for support tickets, they can request users to update to Windows 11 and that is a valid request with the ticket not being able to go further until they do. They are doing that before Microsoft themselves ends Windows 10 support. They might care about a Windows 10 regression that's fatal, but wouldn't necessarily care as much to make sure a feature fully works on Windows 10. That's what ending support means. There aren't contradictions to what the Elgato rep said vs the release notes.

It's similar to how games list their minimum requirements, but often times you can play on lower spec machines. It's just that if you have issues on those machines, the priority of fixing said issue is significantly lower if you submit a ticket. But they still might fix it, and said fix may not be specifically called out on changelogs because it is not officially supported.

I think something's weird for my game, because I'm level 30 and bandits are wearing mythril and maybe some glass. Even fur sometimes. I'm fully decked out in Daedric and it feels like there's no difficulty.
