This is Satisfactory right? I'm definitely playing it wrong based off of these screenshots lol

People who speak English as a second language: how confusing is it that nouns are not gendered? by Canadian_Cabinet in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 39 points 1 month ago

To make matters worse, some languages have the exact same word but with a different gender. Heat in Spanish is el calor but in Catalán is la calor

Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 by Canadian_Cabinet in c/games@lemmy.world

Part of the reason why it hasn't done great is because its an Epic exclusive right? If they would have released on Steam they'd make tons more sales

I still have yet to find a use case for ray tracing that's not just shiny floors or water. Not worth the 100+Fps drop

Why I Lost Faith in Kagi by Canadian_Cabinet in c/technology@beehaw.org

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 39 points 9 months ago

I was thinking about trying Kagi but then they "partnered" with Brave, which pretty much instantly turned me off. But then their CEO made some response where he basically said "cry about it". I can't find the original forum reply so I think he edited it

Thinking about making the big switch – recommend me a distro! (lemmy.ca)

Hey all, I've been thinking about making the jump from Windows to Linux as my daily-driver and I've been struggling on what distro to use.

On my laptop I've been using Fedora's KDE Spin for a bit but I can't say I really like KDE all that much. I took that Distrochooser test and 9/10 of the suggestions were all Ubuntu-based or Arch-based for some reason lol.

I would prefer a distro that "just works" but I'm not scared of having to troubleshoot or fix things. I guess I'm just looking to see what everyone else uses and what you all recommend. Thanks!

Prison Architect 2 - Official Announcement Trailer by Canadian_Cabinet in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 49 points 11 months ago

Can't say I'm excited. I remember how badly they butchered the original game when they bought it, not to mention that art style isn't great

Stardew Valley Expanded exceeded its creator’s wildest dreams by Canadian_Cabinet in c/gaming@beehaw.org

It's a mod, available on Nexus. Adds a ton of content, like practically doubles the length of the game

Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago by Canadian_Cabinet in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

My favorite trademark story is how McDonald's lost the rights to the name Big Mac in Ireland due to an existing trademark

Linux way way slower than Windows? (lemmy.ca)

So I jumped ship from Windows to Kubuntu last night, and It's mostly been pretty good. However my general performance of the computer has been abysmal. Like it takes upwards of 5 seconds to open anything. All of my hardware seems to be running at max speeds, so I have no idea why it would be so sluggish? It's as if I'm running on 2gb of ram and a cpu at like 1.5ghz. My specs are:

i7-8700k at 4.7mhz max Amd Rx 6750xt 16gb ram at 3200mhz Linux is on an m.2

Any ideas? This is practically unusable for any normal operations, let alone any gaming.

Update: So it seems like my CPU is being throttled to it's min of 800mhz because the temp is just below 100c. Not sure why it's so high because I never got that high even in intensive gaming on Windows

Hi all, I'm looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that'd be open to moving over. I've tried Matrix/Element but there doesn't seem to be a screen share function. There's Teamspeak but I don't think that's FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn't care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!
