Not really... anything pre-internet has been pretty preservable.

That's a very succinct rebuttal... I like it.

Does that make it better?

I don't think the issue is with people deducing something is wrong with the game. The issue is people sayings "It's definitely the fuel pump - why didn't you give it a larger pipe?" because the windscreen wipers aren't working.

What are you using for the info on the right?

It's a issue I have with most factory games, or even games like Minecraft. I really enjoy mid-late game. Early game is almost always a slog... an important and fun one the first time, but after the first time...

I haven't had good experiences with it, but nor have I tried it for quite a while having switched to AMD.
My gut feeling is that it's going to be even tougher than it already was, assuming nvidia's continued lack of cooperation. With DLSS and other proprietary technologies becoming increasingly mandatory for nvidia card users, keeping up is going to one hell of a ride.

Did anyone else feel as... disengaged with the second one as I did? Something about it just didn't grab me like the first one...

It's not even a technical thing, like many have complained about. I never had those sorts of issues on my computer (once I turned off the steam desktop controller thing). It just didn't keep my attention.

I'm not sure how good it's going to be, considering the lack of discrete GPU... but that said, even onboard graphics would be plenty for many games, and certainly for streaming them from a more powerful computer.

RGB!!

More seriously, "gaming headphones" are almost always actually "gaming headsets", ie they have a mic. Good music headphones without a mic don't fulfil the requirements of quite a lot of gamers, and normal headsets are usually calibrated for voice and not immersiveness in games.

+1 for computercraft. It was super satisfying getting them to do even trivial things, but a huge reward when you pushed them beyond that.

Though I did find, in order to retain sanity, that I had to remote into the minecraft server and use an IDE rather than the somewhat awful experience of writing lua in game without any IDE tools.

My Vive Pro does work - but not as nicely as it did on windows. Driver support for stuff like reprojection doesn't seem to be there.
