I played the new Creeper World IXE demo, and it was excellent. Looking forward to the full release!

Don’t forget that you’re also allowed to ask them to play, if you should feel like it

Proton is incredible. Linux has come so far in the last couple years for gaming. I’m running Intel/Nvidia (which used to be a big no-no), playing 99% of what I want to play with no issues. If I ever see issues it’s usually a game that uses anti-cheat. Even the vast majority of my games work fine now. Controller support is simple too.

I’m guessing another year an I won’t have Windows in my setup at all.

Noob here, also curious to this…

I mean…

Curious and trying to learn:

How does Linux extend the functionality of a laptop?

Well it’s an otter, so it might just give him some.

Could be. I do have some significant Thinkpad experience (going back to the IBM days) and I do know that they will not alter the model number regardless of what’s in the machine, but you can pull a build sheet from their website with the serial number. Do you know if your HPs could have had this happen? Was your distributor HP or elsewhere? (Not hating, just curious!)

Capacity loss over time is a decent idea. The 2nd Gen machine has an 11th Gen chip, vs 10th Gen in the Gen 1, and quiet possibly is able to burn more power quicker as well. Thinkpad power consumption is also definable in the BIOS or Vantage software for many of them, so those settings all could vary.

Normally I’d be happy to help troubleshoot this sort of thing but frankly I’m not sure OP was looking to chat.

You should contact Lenovo and let them know their spec sheets are wrong. Because they say exactly what I just said.

Not my problem if you have aftermarket modifications to them.

I have a T580 and a T15g2 and the T580 is 100% a more rugged build–not even close.

The T15 is way lighter, so maybe that feels like stiffness?

G1s do not just “have brighter screens” than Gen 2. Those are spec-able options.

G1 had three screens, 250nit, 300nit, 500nit (4k only)

G2 had three screens, 300nit, 300nit, 600nit (4k only)

Both have the same 57wh battery. Not sure what you’re talking about there.

It explicitly said you do not need a PSN account to play, in a number of places. Both on the game page, on the Sony FAQ page, and the Steam page too I believe.

It was bait and switch, which is why so many people are upset.

I had the same laugh. So tone-deaf.

I mean it pretty clearly says that User insights will be put into development and user benefit is first.

…will that happen? Well. Probably not. But I hope so.

I want an all-Tacoma C&C now.

I do love me some Toyotas.

Had nice ones, had shitboxes. They all make some monkey brain in me so happy to drive.

No hate on other cars. I respect all builds. But Toyota seems to have some blueprint of my nervous system that makes me have fun in them.

Did you look this up or do you have encyclopedic knowledge of Generals quotes ^(too) ?

I read all of these in-voice haha.

Good luck on your travels! The road to enlightenment is lifelong, not a race. I wish you the best!

Ok well if you are neurodivergent, a couple things:

Autism self diagnosis is valid if you do your research. University of WA recently did a study that figured that out.

ADHD typically needs a diagnosis from a professional to be sure, but it’s not super hard to guess if you have it. Some symptoms of ADHD can be caused by other conditions (anxiety especially) so navigate that one with caution.

If you are neurodivergent, typically the answer is routines rather than habits. I find them much easier to implement. Just decide the task you want to make into a routine, decide the steps you want to do it in, and then decide to always do it that way, or at least until you want to optimize or tweak it. A simple routine I do is “keys, wallet, phone, ear buds” while tapping my pockets on the way out of the door.
