I get what you’re saying, but I’ve been upgrading my PC over the years and still noticed that with games of big game companies, they care less and less about performance. I firmly believe that publishers, in an attempt to cut costs, tell the game studio to not prioritize performance, while trying to rely on software like super resolution algorithms, to make their games run. In some instances they reused old game Engines for a new and bigger game, for example with Cyberpunk, Stellaris and Elden Ring. Smaller developers are doing everything they can to make a game run smoothly. The best example for this is Factorio. That is my opinion and I totally understand your point of view.

I think that’s just the state of triple A games

The game looks better and better, but the performance just keeps getting worse On my PC I can’t get the game to run properly since they switched to UE5

LOL, I guess that’s fitting for some of his songs! If you listen to others like “ieuD” it’s more on the Metal side, but they always keep you guessing whatever they may come up with next

What about some Doom like Khemmis, Neurosis, Windhand, Monolord? Low energy like Devin Townsend’s “Ocean Machine” Melodic and melancholic like Leprous Or progressive like Wheel

Too many to list them all, but just to name a few

Creating this list I noticed, that many songs and bands fit multiple moods, which kind of made it hard for me to öin down which emotion I would assign them lol

Do you have any suggestions as well?

My first distro was Ubuntu and I’ve been very happy with it. Many hate it for being bloated or because of the snap package manager, but in my uninformed opinion I think it’s a solid choice for beginners, since everything is already set up and ready to go. On my laptop I’m trying out NixOS, but I’m having more trouble setting that up and it’s better for advanced users, I believe. Many also recommended Linux Mint, which is also good for beginners, but doesn’t have the snap package manager like ubuntu does.

I have metal bands for every emotion I could possibly feel lol

Just Paradox things

I love the game and at times I couldn’t stop playing. The more it got patched the more issues I had with it and I haven’t played in a while. Still waiting for Falling Frontier to be released :)

• They changed the keybindings without giving you the ability to edit keybindings yourself
• The performance is bad
• The game speed is linked to framerate and the longer your run is, the slower your game runs
• The former point results in players in multiplayer getting kicked because of synchronization issues
• Many minor bugs such as science ships getting trapped at one planet because they cant ever finish surveying them
• DLCs being absolutely overpriced sometimes
• Mechanics being absolutely unbalanced

I bought the game on release and played the game for over 700 hours since and I had to witness many patches that introduced so many bugs

Still waiting for them to fix their game and not produce even more DLCs

For me it’s the opposite haha

Do you mean the USA?

Noita, Hades, Factorio. Three insanely good games without ads or ingame purchases with very high replayability. Just don’t give EA more money, please.

There’s a tooltip next to the update button that says something like ‘Our Anticheat Vanguard is out now!’ or smth like that. The rest is exactly the same as any other update

Most people don’t know what they’re installing or don’t care about their privacy, which is why there’s not enough people rising up against kernel level AC’s. Also, not being able to play until you create an account is much more upsetting to most people, than just clicking ‘update’ in League of Legends.

Thanks, your answer made it clearer to me what Vanguard can do. For now I’ll unmount my NAS and I guess I should be safe ‘enough’.

Thank you very much! Long-term I will encrypt my drive and since I don’t have off-site backups for my NAS, I will just unmount it on Windows.
