It makes a lot of sense that it sadly is that way. Most of the linux gaming work does go into the compatibility layers and then the drivers and software stack is overwhelmingly tested on those compatibility layers due to the lack of demanding native games.

Another issue is that a lot of linux ports are from the original Steam Machine wave that haven’t been updated since. On Steam Deck it’ll automatically use the Proton version in these cases but I don’t think it applies to desktop.

Small tip: press the (i) on the right, next to game settings, and it’ll show what runtime is being used for this game at the bottom.

Super Monkey Ball 2 on GC. My brother and I spent more time playing the mini games than the game itself.

Like 1/3 of new registrations in Germany are SUVs, making them the largest market segment. While not as rampant as in the US it’s very much an increasingly European experience too.

Anonymous file uploaders are pretty commonly abused to distribute malware so considering how popular catbox is that’s probably how it got on there.

Noise cancelling headphones, not just for avoiding other people’s noise in general but also to make noisier tasks easier. Vacuum, blender, cooking in general with all the loud pots and pans, fans, drill, epilator, electric toothbrush. I either avoided them or tried to get them over with as quickly as possible and did a haphazard job, they’ve helped me in about every aspect of my life.

If any conservative is weirdly focused on trans women you can be 100% certain they’re consuming trans porn in their free time.

Try contacting support, apparently they let some people still order their missed reservation.

I barely know her

Reminds me of this gem:

I am not well; I could have built the Pyramids with the effort it takes me to cling on to life and reason.

“The stand user could be anyone.”

Subbed. I have horribly delayed audio processing so I prefer subtitles either way and anime having such high standards for subs makes it my favorite form of media - they don’t feel like an afterthought.

use of UwU in something I absolutely need to share with others

It’s purely a backend, what’s under the hood is not really visible to matrix clients.

Edit: Though I wish this graphic communicated that more, just realized it doesn’t even say anything about [matrix].

The droop snoot.

If we go into detail, VR headsets also use thick lenses and optically the screens are like 2 meters away.

This image may indicate an even 50/50 split , but actually it’s more like 1% to 99%.

How are we outcompeting them? China has the most billionaires in the world while having a fraction of the average western minimum wage. We’re all in the same boat sadly just some are being told more coherent lies.

it was genuinely baffling how superficial and shallow the writing was, how underwhelming the direction was and how uninteresting the character designs were (I genuinely can’t remember a single one). The animation and music were great but overall it basically felt like a painfully average Netflix flick rather than a Watanabe.

I was a TikTok user from 2019-feb 2025, there was a very noticeable shift in the algorithm, especially after Trump’s inauguration and his deal that was struck to keep the app available in the US. Despite being European, I was suddenly served a lot of far right content and deleted the app for good. With the incident during the 2025 Romanian elections with Tiktok massively skewing the results towards the far right candidate I have no doubt it’s only gotten worse.

It being a positive force was probably true at some point, I’ve learned a lot and saw perspectives on this app I otherwise would’ve never seen, but in the state it is now it’s proven to be a danger for democracy (real democracy, not the “democracy” that brought us a genocide I want to clarify).

it’s okay, mine doesn’t either (transgener)
