YOUR_VARIABLE=1 %command%

In Steam launch options for a specific game.

So, in this case:

RADV_PERFTEST=nggc %command%

Now this is gaming

It’s the Dark Souls of installing things on Ubuntu

GPU1 is probably your integrated GPU. Look into how you can force the use of your dedicated GPU.

Tried it, no dice.

Gog sucks nuts on Linux though. It’s such a pain in the ass to get my Gog games working in Lutris that I opted to install Gog Galaxy as a non-Steam game and then install my Gog games through that.

Forget baby Hitler, if I had a time machine I’d kill baby Reagan.

That’s what I’ve resorted to but it’s not working as well as the apt package. Freezes often, cloud sync breaks repeatedly.

Nah man, that’s not a river

Guess I shoulda done more digging lol. Thanks for the help. Btw, do you know much about PECB’s courses? They have some ISO stuff that’s GRC specific, might look into it.

I’ve actually just done a bit of digging on it and it seems that CISSP is used in Canada, so I might pull the trigger on that. I’m also considering Unixguy’s GRC Mastery course. Happen to know anything about it? I don’t think it counts as a certification proper, but it might be good to show employers what I’m interested in and that I’ve already put in some work.

No certs as of current. Trying to figure out if there’s even an entry-level pathway available before I dump more money into education. NIST and ISA: are these international certs or America specific? The latter won’t help me much unless I get a remote job. As for regulations, that should be easy enough. I’m already good at research, so.

Not American, but hopefully someone else can take inspiration from this. I’ll look into help desk positions, thanks for the tip.

Okay, here’s my take: that’s some good looking fog. Like on a scale of 1 to fog, that’s like heavy mist. But here’s the thing: every time I play a game with fog, I think to myself “I wish that wasn’t there.” If you’re going to use the fog, give it purpose. A great example of bad fog is Elden Ring. Example 1: Consecrated Snowfield. Boring garbage that only serves to hide how empty the area is. Example 2: Gravesite Plain in SOTE. Takes an already lackluster area and just makes it even moreso with a big wall of white.

Ironically, Elden Ring also has an example of good fog: Mountaintop of the Giants, Frozen Lake. The fog is generated by Borealis and clears when you defeat him, meaning you’re not faced with a permanently boring area in a primarily visual medium. It adds a cinematic intro for the boss as well as an added layer of difficulty for the fight. This is fog with purpose and how it should be implemented.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry

New here. Why is that?

I bet he uses a CPU with proprietary architecture too

I have neither of those stores in my area. At Walmart, chicken is $20/kg like every other store.

I think there’s a food bank in the town near to me. I’ll have to inquire about if they serve the surrounding area, but I’m guessing not due to a large low-income population.

As for brands, the only brand of food that I’ve ever stuck with unequivocally is Philadelphia cream cheese. Not out of loyalty but because nothing can stack up to it. I’ll eat own brand for everything besides cream cheese.

Oh no, it’s not a gastro thing. I can tell you that for certain. The taste and texture makes my stomach do somersaults. Normally you see that type of thing when you’ve eaten something and became sick recently after (my neuro prof back in the day had a funny anecdote about whiskey and his inability to drink it after a particularly rowdy night) so I’m wondering if that’s what’s happening. Or maybe I just really can’t stand potatoes.

I’ve never heard of potato bread before! I’ll give it a go. As for eggplant, I’m not the biggest on it and it’s actually a bit expensive here. But zucchini? A m a z i n g. Got some growing right now. Unfortunately that doesn’t help me for a wee while, so I might pick a couple up if I have the money. I like to eat em chopped up with a Greek dressing. Can also shred em and put em in baking (chocolate zucchini muffin :> ) but I can’t quite afford anything so extravagant right now.

As for what’s cheap - basically nothing, lately. I really should move to somewhere that doesn’t have an oligarchical food industry, but that’s a long term thing. Either way, I do appreciate the offer but I’m not sure I’m comfortable accepting. It’s endlessly kind, but I feel I should try to work with what I have before I take from someone else.
