  • I haven't written code at all these holidays

    Jump

  • As they say, the last 20% of a project takes 80% of the time. Thats where all the boring stuff lives or the stuff that you've put off over and over again.

    Get through it and you'll be able to get back to the stuff you enjoy again.

  • Not a bad idea really. Though if there is a problem I can't solve within the hour, I tend to dwell on it and work through it in my head until I can get back to it. Thought just going cold turkey (so to speak) for the holidays might be better this time around.

  • I think this year will be a lot less code at work, and more documentation etc for sure. So that might actually help keep me motivated with my own projects to keep on that coding mindset.

  • I've always liked some of the stuff that Kenney produces:

    Might be some inspiration there

  • About the same for me, but I saw one about 3 weeks ago. I was so excited because it had been so long, no one else seemed to care as much.

  • Can't keep everyone happy with everything all the time. Its up to the rest of the team to make people feel comfortable choosing between the two uniform types. If they don't, then thats a shitty team.

  • Battle for Wesnoth. Really fun turn based strategy game - https://www.wesnoth.org/

    Its free and open source. They have it on steam now as well.

  • Android 16 QPR3 adds a blue dot to show when apps are using your location

    Jump

  • Not sure about this, but some apps do cause additional battery drain if something fails to work. For example, an app is pinging a hostname to determine if its online, if it succeeds it waits 5 minutes before doing it again, if it fails, it tries again in 30 seconds. A pretty rough example, but this is just to say that its entirely possible.

  • Steam Replay is live and notes only 14% "of playtime spent by all Steam users" was for 2025 releases

  • I was so disappointed with Dune: Awakening. I should have listened to my gut, because I knew it wasn't going to bring anything new (enough) to the survival formula. I bought when it first came out, I've only played it for like 3 hours total.

  • Yea but have you been scrombled?

  • Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance?

    Jump

  • I understand. The 3070ti is still a good card - I personally think you might be disappointed getting an equivalent AMD card because its no guarantee to solve your problems or improve performance.

    Again this is all my personal opinion etc, weigh up your pros and cons. Prices can vary a lot in different regions. You might be able to snatch up a bargain.

  • Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance?

    Jump

  • Yea, I was pretty disappointed with it as I really wanted to move to AMD. I'm glad it's going well this time around though.

  • Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance?

    Jump

  • No, it wasn't a driver clash. I tried a lot of things including downloading the pro drivers that were also recommended on trying. At the time, there was a problem with AMD cards and CryEngine games performing badly.

  • Switching to AMD GPU for better gaming performance?

    Jump

  • Switching might not fix your issues, and might just be swapping for other issues.

    Ive been running Nvidia with Linux for over 10 years and its improved significantly over that time. Around the time the 30xx series came out I was looking to upgrade from my 1080ti - I wanted to switch to AMD (because I heard the drivers are better) I got a 6900XT and had heaps of problems and even worse performance in some games than my 1080ti. I ended up returning it and got a 3070ti instead, and I had no problems and performance was great.

    About a month ago I wanted to upgrade my 3070ti and give AMD another shot with a 9070XT - its been absolutely flawless this time around.

    All this is to say there are no guarantees going AMD will solve your problems, but I would consider going an AMD 9070 series instead - particularly since their FSR Redstone thing only applies to the latest cards
