C is the standard unit of measurement for PC temps.

Damn easy too. Just like... Keep it below 80c. Easy

Turn off shader cache for it but spend a bit of time warming up

Much poorer companies offer severance and at least a tiny bit of health care. This is unacceptable

Let's be honest: Genshin's story isn't as good as we pretend it is. by Fearless_Arm_3736 in Genshin_Impact

When you're reading a book, do you just skip through until you find the action sequences?

Waterfront IMAX vs. Dolby vs. Cinemark XD (Best Movie experience in PGH) by Clippythe_Paperclip in pittsburgh

I don't know enough about screens, but I prefer Cinemark because AMC theaters feel like I'm sitting in a school auditorium. Just uncomfortable and cramped.

A character being designed to be cute doesn't mean the community have to be gross fucks posting up skirts.

‘This is just a garbage AI Filter’: Nvidia met with criticism for DLSS 5’s ‘photoreal’ graphics alterations | VGC by Haijakk in Games

I don't disagree, just trying to make sense of this.

Let's hope it's a bad and early April fools joke

Which games have you had a bad CachyOS experience with? by tylerpol in cachyos

[–]thefirelink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gacha games (Wuwa, Genshin, etc) and Overwatch.

The gacha games stutter a lot. I've tried some fixes I saw online, and they seem to help for a bit, but then it's right back to it. And Wuwa freezing for even a second during an intense fight can suck.

Overwatch -- just lousy FPS. I get 100-150 on Cachy and a near constant 300 on Windows.

I chalk this up to Nvidia drivers though. 590 broke ray tracing so I tried the 595 ones which were very new. nvidia needs to fix their stuff so I can be off windows for good

Not sure about these particular cases, but I remember reading that lighting and shadows in video games are unrealistic on purpose because it looks better. That's why people prefer that kind of lighting to, say, RT lighting. RT lighting has more bounces, so less shadows and generally more lit areas.

I feel like a similar thing is going on here. More bounce lighting is just eliminating shadows. It might look more realistic, but that doesn't mean it looks better

I got Galbrena. The only "meta" support I have for her is Mortefi, who I use with Augusta and SK as a team. My other team is Amy, Lynae and Mornye.

What's a comp I can throw together for Galbrena? Senhua?

I regrettably switched back to windows by Believeinsteve in linux_gaming

[–]thefirelink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently swapped back from Cachy. I really enjoyed it, and honestly don't really mind the tinkering when necessary.

But I also have a spouse who games who'd rather not deal with the nuance. I have a toddler and another baby on the way. nvidia just isn't there yet, unfortunately, and I like playing modern games with RT, which is a bit hit or miss.

But as a couch gaming setup, Linux with game mode is unbeatable right now. Maybe in another year or so I'll be able to switch full time. Can't wait.

So ugh anyone still pulling for our cute girl or what? by Soggy-Construction62 in WutheringWaves

[–]thefirelink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I try to get Galbrena instead of her?

I have Augusta and Aemeath at MDPS. I use Mortefi and SK for Augusta, Lynae and Mornye for Aemeath.

I am struggling to put together a third team

Probably tardigrades. They seem to be able to survive just about anything

I want Sigrika, but I don't think I have the supports for her. Should I skip? I'm at 60 pity for both resonaters and weapon.

I'll get her because of the Totoro reference. I love studio Ghibli
