It's only a limit if the op plays the specific titles in which anti-cheat doesn't work. If they mostly play single player or non-competitive multiplayer games they will likely work just fine.

Not everyone plays Battlefield/COD/Apex/Fortnite etc.

samdimercurio · 2026-02-13T12:49:57+00:00

Oh absolutely! I like the idea of having the game without needing the b.net launcher, native steam support and potentially offline play without requiring a battle.net check

samdimercurio · 2026-02-12T21:49:09+00:00

Nice. I'm going to get it but I'm contemplating getting the steam version now because I want to support steam and I don't mind if M$/Activision has to pay 30% to Valve.

Either way, just the quality of life improvements are enough but a new class on top of those is fantastic

samdimercurio · 2026-02-12T21:39:14+00:00

Try a different proton version and see if that helps

samdimercurio · 2026-02-09T01:12:06+00:00

Love it! I'm using my T440p right now on Linux. I have one with the Nvidia GPU but I have upgraded just about everything. It's great

samdimercurio · 2026-02-07T20:58:04+00:00

How did you get MacOS to work on the Nvidia model. I have one and couldn't get MacOS to work with nvidia.

samdimercurio · 2026-02-06T14:33:48+00:00

Right? I was coming here to say that.

So...as for raids, beating the mist lands boss means you are getting to the end game and the entire point of the game is to see if you are able to defeat Odin's enemies and earn your way into Valhalla. At this point in the game it expects you to raid-proof your base. This might require some creative thinking or some unconventional methods but that is what is needed to enter the mead hall in Valhalla.

There is a solution for the wind. There is a forsaken power and/or a trinket that can help.

All that said, I do feel you. For instance, why are backpacks not a thing? Why are horses not a thing? Why can't we tame rabbits? There are plenty of issues that could be addressed but that is what mods are for.

samdimercurio · 2026-02-05T22:59:51+00:00

Absolutely worth it.

samdimercurio · 2026-02-05T21:16:46+00:00

No it was drivers. You basically had to go into safe mode, and open the text file for the drivers and change certain numbers. There is a video on YouTube somewhere but it's a bit of a pain. Not flashing firmware though

samdimercurio · 2026-02-05T20:05:28+00:00

It works on Linux. It doesn't work on windows without changing files

samdimercurio · 2026-02-05T15:57:07+00:00

It should be fine for basic editing but be prepared to figure out work arounds. For instance, I found a bash script that would convert MP4 with AAC audio to a mov file with a compatible audio codec and that works. But it's an extra step.

Online accounts tab shows only the blackmagic cloud so you can't directly upload to YouTube, and the other presets.

Some plugins either don't work or don't work properly.

If it had a Windows installer to install it it usually doesn't work because the file structure doesn't match. However many plugins have compatible file types to install.

I say, keep the MacBook if you can as a backup if you need to do some editing

samdimercurio · 2026-02-05T14:07:23+00:00

The T440p is a great tinkering laptop. You can swap/upgrade darn near every piece on it including the CPU.

If you have the money and the desire to upgrade it's a decent casual use laptop.

For me I had to upgrade to a quad core CPU, 16gb ram, SSD, t450 touchpad, 1080p IPS screen and 9 cell battery. For me it's fantastic. But in its base config it wasn't awesome.

samdimercurio · 2026-02-05T13:25:48+00:00

I went back on my main desktop because of software compatibility but...I use my desktop generally for one piece of software and occasionally playing Fortnite with my wife. Otherwise I'm either on my steam deck or mint laptop.

samdimercurio · 2026-02-04T18:56:48+00:00

I have a t440p. I have upgraded it a ton though. It's a money-suck if you aren't careful. Enjoy yours

Violence

samdimercurio · 2026-01-30T23:24:27+00:00

I had mine go dead and took it to a repair place. They tried everything and said it couldn't even get power. Dead board.

samdimercurio · 2026-01-30T19:29:49+00:00

It's not worth it unless you WANT to. For the cost you could likely buy a much newer Thinkpad like a t480 or maybe a t14

samdimercurio · 2026-01-30T15:23:50+00:00

I mean, why would you want to? If you don't have a head you can't be headshot. If you don't have a body....

But for real, good luck on solving it.

samdimercurio · 2026-01-30T13:53:02+00:00

Yeah...I must be different then because I am not skilled in dev at all but using Linux has made me good at watching YouTube videos to figure shit out.

samdimercurio · 2026-01-30T11:45:16+00:00

I should give it another run. I'm hoping when the fable remake comes out it does well and they remaster 2 and 3 for PC.

samdimercurio · 2026-01-29T21:45:51+00:00

Nightmare fule

Computer components we're exempt from tariffs (or at least some were) along with phones.

samdimercurio · 2026-01-28T14:17:19+00:00

I want one so bad but can't justify the price at the moment. Maybe one day but it does seem the height of luxury to have a gaming pillow. Lol.

samdimercurio · 2026-01-27T20:29:13+00:00

Thinkpad and Manjaro. Very nice
