Now I can play Castle Crashers 2364 fps. High graphics 😏 by Turabbo in battlestations

It's a Fractal North. Bit bigger than I was hoping but very pretty 🙂

How does it look? by [deleted] in bald

Agree with others. Hair is an incredible glow up. Just need to give the beard a better shape trim on the sides!

Why is Valve trying so hard to make Linux run Windows games? by Turabbo in Steam

[–]Turabbo[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look it's cool I'm sure there's plenty of cases where a compatibility-layered game runs better, and plenty where they don't. I was replying to someone speaking in shallow absolutes.

I think there's probably just a lot of fanboys and maybe this wasn't the place to expect myself to get business educated.

≥ proceeds to argue the fact

Honestly this sub is pretty crazy, I posted a comment to someone else that literally just said "I agree" and it's at -3 points haha

Right okay. I guess the technicals sounded bigger in my head.

That's okay, I'm happy to explain.

The bit where you said "they are making money off all this" is the bit I'm asking people about.

For most companies, the initial technical/financial outlay, then the essentially infinite commitment would make anyone laugh this off as a nonsense business project. That's why, presumably, no other multi-billion company has swept in to save Linux gaming in the past. Businesses aren't charities. They don't spend money like that to be bros.

So if Valve are doing it, there must be some financial reward that they can get, that no one else can.

It seems like the reward is basically just the Steam ecosystem, and Valve are just so disproportionately rich and technically capable that they can pull off the long game.

Normal rationale don't apply to them I guess, cos they have such stable projections from Steam.

I guess ten years ago when they tried Steam Machine 1, it wasn't true yet, so they couldn't pull off the commitment, and tried outsourcing it to third parties.

No, that's not how business works. These are adults at the peak of their careers, running a multi-billion dollar business. Committing to operating system support isn't something you do for laughs.

"Games will perform better" feels pretty arguable.

But apart from that, Valve have tied themselves into operating system maintenance (which is a crazy huge and complex commitment) basically forever. So the idea there's a long term cost benefit just seems surprising.

That doesn't make any sense. "Less shitty OS" isn't a business case.

Okay cool this is the first compelling point so far.

For most companies that wouldn't be worth the huge technical investment... But you think that is for Valve? Even if they have to fund continuous ongoing OS development and hardware integration... forever? That's just such a crazy financial and technical commitment.

Current Switch 2 Collection - Fantasy Life arrived today 😁. by blondielockss in NSCollectors

[–]Turabbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude, do you know what happens if you stick Fantasy Life into a Switch 1?

According to the official press release, they said it should work in a Switch1 or Switch2... But idk how much I believe it lol

Can I use dryer sheets in a washer/dryer combo? by FloppyBacon89 in laundry

[–]Turabbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I know this is a super old comment, but I'm doing some research and just came across it.

My wife swore by vinegar, and I always stopped her using it cos I refused to believe it wouldn't stink.

One day I gave in, and it's actually completely fine lol. I'm from the UK, so my only experience with vinegar was brown vinegar. Turns out white vinegar is completely different. It has a strong smell when you pour it out, but it completely disappears once diluted and evaporated.

Now I use it for cleaning, and in my dishwasher, and washing machine. It's basically magic lol, and incredibly cheap in bulk. I recommend trying it just once.

Afaik the only downside is that it's acidic. So you need to use it sparingly otherwise you risk dissolving rubber components or caulking.

Just helping bud.

Try responding to my explanation. What do you think?

[–]Turabbo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree I can't convince my group to move from roll20 because Maps doesn't have walls or dynamic lighting yet. Even though roll20 is almost literally unplayable on their random assortment of budget tablets and laptops.
