You tell them, Kwi-Chang! No more big government!

As AMD, Intel, Tenstorrent, and other companies develop better hardware, more software developers will be inclined to design for these platforms, and Nvidia's CUDA dominance could ease over time.

This seems a bit optimistic to me. CUDA is currently the de facto method of utilising a GPU's power efficiently. This makes them an easy choice for anyone with serious compute power needs. The other manufacturers are fighting an uphill battle trying to create an alternative that won't be used until it is definitively better.

This just seems like a catch 22 to me

Played it in the v6-7 days.

It introduces multiple new fleshed out factions with really good balancing. Obviously there isn't going to be a lot of voice acting for characters not in the movies, but that's a pretty minor setback, all things considered

  1. Use the maximum HP possible from the dice instead of the average given (eg. 6d12 = 72 instead of 39), or at least a higher portion of the maximum quantity

  2. Increase AC

  3. Give it extra damage of a different type

  4. Give non-lair monsters lair actions, and give monsters with lair actions an even stronger lair action they can use when below half-health. Same with legendary actions

  5. Look at older DnD editions and see if the monster or any similar monsters have extra abilities you can add

Edit: I should have specified that these are in ascending levels of difficulty for the DM, but are also more interesting

The overworld can be done entirely solo with a storyline for each of the three factions, but you can also partner up with friends ad hoc if you'd like.

The content that's specifically multiplayer is the dungeons (4-man or 12-man), but you can queue for the former and people will zone chat to organise the latter

I browse Reddit occasionally without logging in (I also shredded my account after the API changes) and I see many posts that make me worried about the sort of data LLMs will collect once Reddit management allows that

Bigger number better

...probably

You can install Heroic Games launcher, which is an alternative Epic + GOG front-end (it also works on Windows and is apparently better than the real thing). You can use it to manage the compatibility layers similarly to Steam, but in my experience its function is on a game-by-game basis

As another commenter has said, go through ProtonDB and check all the games you can't live without

I remember not being able to sell PC games second-hand in 2005 due to all the DRM on it, long before Steam became as ubiquitous as it is today

Also I'm pretty sure SteamOS is just a fork of Arch with drivers specifically designed for the deck's controls. Hell, there's a fork of SteamOS that AFAIK gives you the same experience as SteamOS (HoloISO), which wouldn't be possible with proprietary software
