  • Yeah, I also use a pen tablet for some stuff, and it handles it decently well. One issue I’ve run into with it is that if I turn my monitor off while the tablet is plugged in, there’s like a 50/50 chance the monitor won’t load video unless I turn the tablet on too. It’s funky. Otherwise, getting my RTX4070 up and running wasn’t too hard. It’s a good distro for idiots (me).


  • I recently moved to Fedora KDE Plasma after years on W10, simply because I don’t want to use W11 and its AI bullshit. So far, it’s been a great time, and I haven’t noticed any major performance issues, so I’m happy with it. Having to update everything every few days is pretty novel though, and ‘sudo dnf update -y’ makes me feel like Hackerman, king of all Hackers. I think I like the customization options most though. I get way more control over what happens on my PC than W10 ever gave me, and it’s all wrapped in a very user-friendly GUI. Overall 8.5-9/10.






  • I only played the OW beta, years ago, but even then I could see a bit of what people are upset about now. Characters are designed around one concept for their whole kit, and anytime people find a way to do MORE with them, Blizzard usually patches them to do LESS. Map design is… questionable at best, and confusing for people who are fresh to the game. The balance of things, even early on, was obviously going to be focused around a competitive ruleset, and that puts a severe damper on things from a casual fun standpoint.

    Moving on to more recent events that I don’t have personal experience with, Blizzard has just repeatedly shit the bed. OW2 was promised with massive PVE expansions and massive balance changes/gameplay tweaks to make the game feel fresh and fun again. Instead, they released several generic coomerbait heroes that didn’t do anything unique, cut the PVE ENTIRELY, which players were super hyped for, “”“rebalanced”“” the game (they went from 6v6 to 5v5), and unloaded a ton of paid cosmetics and battlepass mechanics that nobody asked for or wanted. Then as the dust settled, they started releasing more heroes that broke the game further; Mauga was SO UNBALANCED on release that the only way to beat him… was another Mauga, leading to a near 100% pick rate in matches; I remember hearing Rammatra(I think that’s the name of the robo-centaur?) Was also super busted on release; finally, the seasonal balance changes were usually poorly received.

    So it’s not impossible to see why so many people who’ve spent so much time and money on OW and OW2 are so heartbroken about it, yet so eager to jump ship.
