Great! So this is either an AMD thing… Or a different Linux thing : ).

I just tried the latest version of Proton (11.0-2). It’s exactly as choppy as before (Proton Hotfix).

I had made compromises already and it’s still ugly choppy. I don’t know what this is, but I refuse to believe that my rig suddenly got SO outdated overnight. It used to be smooth.

Something is telling me this will be either a Linux or an AMD thing. Perhaps Proton.

UPDATE: It’s most likely not Proton. At least two different versions (Hotfix and the latest version number) yield the exact same gouty performance.

Honestly, as I was reading the rest of the comments I started feeling I did something wrong. Are you also playing from Linux? If so, may I ask what Proton version you’re using?

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X

Linux Mint 22.3

Even the main screen cursor has a small delay now. It loads for noticeably longer. Previously it just played the whole “hello Ziggy, thanks for having me” scene normally - now there is a big pause between some sentences.

No, and I tried every option with or without FSR.

I was pretty excited to try it until it greeted me with unplayable performance. I never had FPS problems before the update. Now it’s unplayable. I guess I’ll either wait for it to be fixed or just stop playing.

Ahhahaha, thank you for checking, brave citizen! It’s not in English, but mostly translates to that; you 2 could make sibling websites.

This reminds me of the previous head editor of one of the largest media sites in my country. His hobby was to buy various odd/banal domains just in case they become useful one day. Sites like (the language’s equivalent of) fartingcontest.com.

EDIT: I just realised that the URL got automatically turned into a clickable link, and I’m too much of a pussy to check it out.

I wonder if that will only stop the ads being personalized or the data collection will also stop. My bet is on the former, but I hope I’m wrong.

Also, if you steal diapers and nothing else then maybe, JUST MAYBE you probably just can’t afford them despite them being rather essential in raising a child. Which doesn’t make it a non-crime, but it’s probably a sign that you’re actually in need.

And here I was thinking that raping kids, evading tax and making your country the lapdog of Russia should be punished more severely than stealing diapers out of necessity.

I live in an area where the main road is surrounded by dozens of British/English flags, and the average person is your typical primitive ‘stop the boats’ Reform voter (moreover, not even Reform is far right enough for some of them and they would rather vote for Restore).

There was a new store building erected around the main square, and as the beams first appeared, they started guessing what it could be in the Facebook comments. Half of them were about how it would surely become a mosque.

All the while the situation got so bad here that a certain bus stopped service in the area after 7PM because packs of vicious kids threw rocks at the windows. The same type of kids had started fires several times, shot fireworks at people during Halloween, and became a regular nuisance, often throwing various objects at cars.

Those kids are all white, full of hatred and always going around in large groups, dressing like a typical London phone snatcher, riding scooters, wearing the same balaklava (that is completely fine and comfortable to wear for them, unlike the MUCH thinner “I can’t breathe” face mask during covid), listening to the same music, and in general, trying to look like the same thug that their racist parents imagine the average immigrant youth to be.

I have never considered right wing radicals significantly smart, but the British right wingers around here are the dumbest, most primitive, most disgusting types I’ve had the displeasure to interact with.

If only there was terabytes worth of video evidence proving that, alongside with all the war crimes such as shooting at medical personnel, media and first aid staff…

Don’t forget the economic shock that would follow. Everyone has a few grand in their piggy bank? Time to raise prices, buying power has just gone up. Then people complain they still have the same standard of living. Salaries stay the same. Prices won’t go back down. The dollar is worth even less.

Guess who wins there.

You can’t just do this. I see a title beginning with ‘Trump, 80,’ and get super hyped, then it just says he woke up eventually.

Smokers routinely light up at bus stops, elevators, parks, restaurants and even hospitals.

Even in Western countries there’s not much you can do. I keep seeing jerks smoking at bus and metro stops (or right next to/outside those), but what can you do? You won’t call the police for such a small thing, and even if you did for some weird reason, the smoker would be long gone.

Sure, you can ask them to not smoke there. One: good luck with that; two: not like they would stop doing that from then on.

“My mother told me not to meddle in others’ business, even though she has lung cancer,” Ms. Zhang said in an interview.

Yeah, once they smoke under your nose in a place they shouldn’t, they make it your business, as well.

I had to re-read it 3 times to realize that BUM wasn’t meant to be an acronym (which is also a new method) or nether regions of the body, but >>!BAM!<< in their own language. We also say ‘bumm’, but with a long ‘m’.

Dammit.

I doubt you could cram more than three into those hands.
