Asking as someone who doesn't know anything about any of this:

Does more B mean better?

I'd gladly save some gas by letting them push me

It's just that it's incredibly wasteful/polluting.

Which actually makes it illegal in some countries, too

Well that takes the cake as being the weirdest gender euphoria I've experienced so far

It can pull weight at 4k, but I'm not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.

There are many games that cut it awfully close with 12GB at 1440p, for some it's actually not enough. And when Nvidia pushes Raytracing as hard as they do, not giving us the little extra memory we need for that is just a dick move.

Whatever this card costs, 12GB of vram is simply not appropriate.

Aw, I'm really enjoying Outer Worlds right now.

That being said, I fully agree with Subnautica being a fantastic game. Probably my favourite game ever.

Oh, no need to feel weird about it. Many devices have gotten cheaper than their alternatives because of the grotesque amount of data they collect.

So assuming that cheaper means more invasive seems perfectly plausible, I can't fault you for that.

As if expensive phones are any better

I'm starting to wonder, what will YouTube do once it stops being remotely sustainable to run?

Is more efficient video compression being developed faster than people are uploading content?

Like, at some point, they might just run out of space and will have to purge millions of videos.

Many games might actually be DRM free without you realizing. Look them up on PC Gaming Wiki, and maybe you'll like what you see.

With some games it's as simple as launching them directly from the executable to circumvent annoying launchers and accounts.

Something most people probably don't even think of doing anymore, and why would they. But it never hurts to try.

It's been there for me since the whole thing started

Well, yes. Which is why I mentioned the Spacers Choice edition.

It doesn't seem to have the same specific issues on Windows though, apart from generally performng worse than anyone would expect it to.

So I reckon I'll just try and see for myself if that's true. Because the problems many Linux users (me included) seem to have according to ProtonDB make the game borderline unplayable.

Sometimes not even borderline.
