The majority NOW. I should have specified.
That’s what Americans claim to save face. I’m a Vietnamese American and Asian history tends to suck in other nations. America used that narrative to justify invading another country and then dipping out when it was too hard.
I’m still going to overgeneralize, but here’s the actual history they don’t teach you. (History is much more interesting outside of school).
From the Vietnamese perspective, they initially didn’t want/need American help, but about HALF of Vietnam didn’t want communism. Similar to Korea, it was kinda like North vs South. America knew that Vietnam has potential to be another booming nation so they saw an opportunity to “help” Vietnam for profit and claim they’re fighting communism in the process. America doesn’t just “help” for the sake of good, we’re a nation of profit and greed.
During this war, South Korea’s involvement and then eventual American alliance actually helped South Korea flourish from all this new money they were getting. When Nixon saw that Vietnam was a losing war, he pussied out and ended up moving on to help Korea since that was the next “profitable” nation; even helping in “fighting communism” during the Korean War. Vietnam took a huge L after Nixon pumped and pulled resources so he partially caused the loss, too. Looking back now, America made the “right” call on South Korea as it’s now both rich AND has good US relations.
Most of the Vietnamese population today prefers a less communistic government but not much can be done. Government is just stupid powerful BECAUSE of communism in the first place. Like some long domino effect.
TL:Dr America is a sneaky country and does things that only benefit them. They couldn’t benefit from Vietnam so they moved onto Korea in “I’m done playing with you” style.
As a vietnamese American, my mom always told me stories about the shitty government. Most citizens in Vietnam know the laws are dumb too but can’t protest because the government is too strong now. Just know that EVERYTHING is regulated over there.
You living under a rock? Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, Elden Ring, God of War, Doom Eternal, RE8, and Tears of the Kingdom are awesome AAAs of just the past 5 years to name a few.
It’s just that bad games tend to get more publicity cuz the mob likes to shit on them. Tbh, Cyberpunk wasn’t even a terrible game, it just dropped with performance issues that took over a year to mostly fix.
I’ll give you that all recent Ubisoft titles have sucked though.
HDR and anti-cheats are the main reasons I can’t fully switch over. I am niche and particular about things so I do think I’d enjoy Linux if it weren’t for the games I play. I have an OLED display and too many hours in Valorant. It’s like I accidentally upgraded out of Linux.
Not quite homebrew, but SideQuest is the least hassle free solution for many alternatives and games.
That doesn’t mean that implementing fail safes would still be nice. I think Google has it so that your information can be dumped into another family’s email if the account hasn’t been active in 500 days or something along those lines.
Why not just have a select Steam inheritor account if inactive for more than XXXX amount of days. It could also crack down on dead steam accounts.
MacOS is really the only one I never understood unless you’re really tied to the Apple ecosystem.
I’d argue the “just use Linux” meme is more relevant for Mac users than Windows.
I want to love Linux as well, but it does require some troubleshooting skills I’m too lazy for these days Additionally, some of my games require anti-cheats that just don’t work on Linux.
Your experience is subjective

Ray tracing was the hot new buzzword after CP2077 showed off what consoles couldn’t at the time.
Unfortunately the tech didn’t even mature on PC yet, at least not without upscaling and now frame gen to help get it to more pleasing framerates.
I want whatever Ubisoft is smoking. First they’re telling people that we don’t truly own their games and now they’re making AAAA games? I wish I had that confidence in myself.
Parents: why don’t you get a real job?
Just do it. I was hesitant as well but now there’s no going back. It’s actually like 5x faster.
I think the problem is that it’s super popular for those who already own a PC and have a huge Steam Library. I got console friends wanting a Steam Deck but ultimately don’t want to buy one because it means rebuying their games.
No, because those don’t have social media functions built in. Snapchat has those TikTok slideshows and ads among posting pictures of yourself too. It’s more of an all in one that many use
It’s the WhatsApp equivalent in the US tbh. People ask for each other’s Snapchat instead of numbers sometimes these days
17% average is scalable. It’s not static 15 fps across the board. Some games may see +40fps; more demanding games maybe +4.
Blind fanboyism?
