  • I’m late to the comment board, but I had to say something. I was amazed when one day my broken Balders’ Gate III P22 install suddenly not only worked, but worked with Vulkan. Until now, I figured it was an improvement to the Proton-GE or Experimental that came down around that time. Anyway, when I loaded my game (in the underdark) on my OLED, I was shocked at the improvement.

    Not only was the framerate closer to 40+ vs 28-30, but it was vibrant. The resolution appeared to be better, too. It was gratifying to see it looked better than on my ancient Lenovo gaming laptop (circa 2016), which, to my surprise, handled it quite well considering the age of the NVidia card.











  • Yep, i agree that it’s ludicrous that manufacturers literally removed features over time and simultaneously raised prices.

    I like to have music, pics, etc., local, too. However I’m not going to take a subpar device just to have SD, so I compromise.

    I rotate my music selection. I offload older camera media to my NAS at home, etc. Since where I am, I get WiFi almost every where I go, I can remote connect to my NAS. I rarely do because I have to deactivate my protective VPN to use my personal VPN for my link (safety first). So I’m effectively in the same situation.

    When Google first announced that external cards were “evil”, I knew instantly that was because they want us to store our data in their cloud. Various articles, marketing flat out pushed that solution.
