Last week's thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

Something interesting that happened to you
Something humourous that happened to you
Something frustrating that happened to you
A quick question
A request for recommendations
Pictures of your pet
A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Is my memory right that AMD tends to be preferred for Linux as I seem to remember people always being wary of Nvidia.

And are you talking about Cyberpunk 2077? I can't seem to find a 2044. Is it good? I never played it, but remember launch reviews being bad.

I don't normally play games at launch (relevant xkcd) so it's about old enough for me to take a look. Baldur's Gate was a bit of an exception for me, I didn't get it directly at launch but was earlier this year, though as I understand it, it was in early access for years. Plus it had great reviews, it was reasonably priced, and was an AAA game that I could buy DRM free from GOG so a bit of a perfect storm to pull me in.
