That’s the type of content I enjoy the most. Lately MMOs have been drowning in solo content and while it doesn’t “hurt” me in any way, it also does not interest me in the slightest, so I end up losing interest.

The few MMOs I played have normal/easy/exploration versions of group content instances, where it’s generally expected to be slower and at the very least do the quest and watch cutscenes. I do those up until I’m comfortable with the layout and mechanics and move on. When I encounter people doing the quests in harder instances I do get mildly annoyed, but depending on what exactly is it I can slow down to give them time to click through the dialogue options. If they state beforehand that they are doing something extra or they want to go for a secret/achievement that’s usually out of the way, I’m almost always down.

Just set your expectations right before dipping into any group content. If the instance is expected to be easy and is even designed specifically for low power players then it’s entirely your prerogative to take it as slow as you want, do the quests, watch the cutscenes, and anyone who is rushing it is the one ruining the experience. If the instance is clearly going to be difficult then don’t pug it, find your own group that wants to learn it or look up the mechs beforehand if you don’t mind that (I know I hate looking up tutorials myself).

Nowadays there are also so many casual chill guilds in MMOs that specifically gather players who play 2h a week, go very slow, help out with all sorts of content and such, try to look for and join one.

The only aspect of group content I dislike is the potential of future lockout due to extremely low engagement. In those cases games must keep some incentives for all sorts of players to continue replaying old content regardless of whether or not they need anything from that specific instance.

On Cachy you do have the foreground VRAM booster patch, but no idea about other distros.

I doubt that’s why. People literally bought out PS5’s after the gameplay reveal. I think the reason they are speeding things up is due to the fact that slop machines allowed massive progress in emulation, which more than likely is going to allow PC players to play GTA 6 without waiting for Rockstar and they hate that.

Lepton is intended to help game developers bring their VR Android games to the Steam Frame. Other usecases are possible, but were not the focus of development and may lack polish.

Nah, talk to me when you can think of a cool school shooting with RPGs and stuff

Since you covered AMD and not Nvidia: pre 1650 cards are completely unsupported (some distros keep old drivers in their repos, for how long - nobody knows), RTX20xx is like a corncob up your ass on Linux, RTX30xx and above start to handle things better, with RTX30xx losing up to 20% of performance and 50xx about 5-10%, in extreme cases (iirc The Last of Us) you will be lucky to break 20 FPS. There’s no Nvidia App, no Broadcast App either. There are currently a few versions of drivers, open source (not made by Nvidia), half open (made by Nvidia) and fully closed source (made by Nvidia), which only adds to the annoyance, as some drivers might work better for certain games, but obliterate performance in others, not to mention random crashing issues.

Slop detectors might as well be random number generators, it will never give you 0% because it’s slop in and of itself.
