Only exception I have seen was when the professor was kind of a troll. He was a good teacher. This was in a pretty entry level physics class at a tech school, so we basically got a high school level physics as a pre-req for our degree in whatever 2 year program we were in.

He spent the week leading up to the first big test talking about how hard it was, how people needed to take it seriously, etc.

He handed out the grades after and everyone was visibly upset, nobody had a passing grade. Then he explained, after letting us freak out for a minute, that the score at the top was out of 50, not 100 and I think everyone passed

After that the class pretty fun.

Huh, I may look into this. Sounds neat. Thanks!

I still had to wait for a long time for shaders to load on initial launch on some games (DA Veilguard) but performance seemed fine. I didn’t have performance issues on Ubuntu so not sure about your particular issues, but another thing to consider is based on your card, the latest nvidia drivers may not be correct - I had to download an older driver package for my card (1070) as recommended by nvidia. Bazzite had me select which series of card I had when downloading the ISO, so I assume it included the older drivers for my card. I haven’t actually checked the installed driver version though

I have heard of rebasing but I haven’t dug into it. Sounds really cool!

I do use my PC for gaming, but Bazzite did come with a lot of other “gaming” software that I don’t use, so it’s good to know there is a lighter weight alternative that otherwise has the same benefits.

I have an older Ryzen 5, 16GB of ram and an nVidia 1070, so not cutting edge for sure. I downloaded the regular desktop version, not the steam big picture console-ish version, and steam account was not required. I just closed the steam window until I was done with my setup. I haven’t seen any performance issues

This is amazing! I will definitely be making use of this

Expeditions are amazing, but I’ve only finished one because I’m usually out of the loop and start them way late. It would be amazing if they brought old ones back into rotation so people who are new or just missed them could earn the rewards eventually. I feel like they have enough now to make a pretty good rotation without feeling repetitive

Pork is red meat

Definitely recommend playing or replaying old games. I’ve recently put hours into replaying Morrowind and Jedi Academy.

The main game I’ve been playing lately is Mount & Blade Warband from 2010. Got it for a couple $ and have been loving it. I missed it when it came out and recently a friend had been talking a lot about how much fun it used to be.

I have played a few newer AAA games that I uninstalled after a few hours. Sure there’s some great new games, especially from small publishers or indie devs, but there’s a lot more slop like you said.
