    They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google/Apple definitely want buyers to also buy their subscription storage services or pay the high premium for the next storage level.

    I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.



  • As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.

    Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.

    Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform you own. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.















  • As someone that has bought a graphics card as part of a build in these scenarios:

    • after having a first job
    • after graduating from college
    • about 9 years later as a professional

    The first 2 felt like a nice upgrade given my larger budget (200-300 more total for the entire computer). The last one felt like the worst purchase of my life. If gamers nexus is sometimes negative, it is for a good reason, we all feel it.

    I have a feeling they also had to buy their own components and have not forgotten that despite nvidia or amd fighting for stats, and streamers always having a top of the line build most gamers don’t (as shown by steam survey results over and over).
