Yep, because it is what you need installed for Radeon on Linux... and lets face it, most people are not going to be using Nvidia on Linux with those driver issues lol.

That being said
People getting into Linux probably won't know how to deal with that crap
I've been using Linux for quite a few years when I bought my laptop
So it's really important for the drivers to... Just work
There are shenanigans with Nvidia
That makes it not work straight out of the box

Hotspot went from 75 to bouncing between 82 and 83c
I think my card will start to throttle past 85, 90 is max
I have seen it throttle in another case
Vram went to 90c
So side panel is choking it
Vram went up 8 degrees
But this adds up because there is more space between the card and the panel
In the other case, vram went to 92c and i have seen it go to 93 before, and the core started to throttle when 200w oc kicked in
So this case having a larger gap and slightly lower temps is adding up

not a remake
They were remakes
misty sparrow
they used the same level design and same gameplay mechanics as the originals, just slightly polished for modern audiences
and they redid the music + made the graphics better
not a remake
nocturne flicker
They rerecorded the voice lines, made new music and recreated the games in a completely different engine
A remaster is a port onto more modern hardware with graphical changes. If they had ported the og games to modern hardware with just a graphical overhaul, it'd be a remaster
misty sparrow
Gee I can't believe we're putting "remakes" like this on the same level of remakes that take the original and make bigger changes to it
They play nearly identical
nocturne flicker
That is because they were supposed to play nearly identical for nostalgia. A remake doesn't require gameplay to be different, it just requires much more significant work than a remaster. They remade the games in a completely different engine. They rerecorded dialogue. They made new music
If you want to get prickly about remakes, complain about the Battle for Bikini Bottom Remake
That had basically no changes at all outside of graphics, including no rerecorded lines despite the original game having two noticeable issues with that
I guess it had a crappy multiplayer mode added that nobody played

So basically he says his intention was just to expedite the process. He knows AI sucks and that it wouldn't give all good information at least right away. But he wanted to have it generate stuff and then run it by me so I could fix whatever was wrong and send it.
so my thing was, why don't I just make my own AI model instead and that way it feels more like I'm doing it for my benefit. Instead of you running this all through a model and potentially getting tons of bad data
So that was the agreement - I'm still going to post on the ArsenalPC account for main posts on the Newegg forum, because that was the agreement. and when people comment on those posts I'll respond with the official account
but other than that, when it comes down to sharing my own knowledge, that's all on me, and that's coming from my own brain

it's nice to type on a keyboard instead of typing on the phone. That was really the only reason I used it
nice to have in classes too
typing on laptop = diligent student working hard
typing on phone = troublemaker not paying attention lol

Sometimes I take notes on my phone (particularly when handling tickets at work). It feels unprofessional but my coworkers understand it
Better than writing it down imo. Quicker to type than write it in a small notebook, plus it syncs depending on the notes app you use

ig once I started using keyboard more, the phone felt like more & more of a hassle

monkey type is hard cuz it doesn't give you sentences

I'm not sure whether that means it's a more or less accurate reflection of your typing speed tbh lol
