Usually it's fine. To be honest, most new release AAA games have problems on Windows too (and sometimes it's worse, such as the first part of the FF7 remake).

Have a look at the Linux VR Adventures Wiki for possible VR solutions.

EDIT: And this compatibility site akin to ProtonDB I just found out about.

The original impetus to do these comparisons was that there were reports of significant motion blur on the Switch 2, so comparing it was the whole point.

And indeed, it's even worse than the original LCD Switch display.

These are quirky in terms of plot but not so much in terms of gameplay (at least your modern examples). That's fine to a point but I'd like to see a bit more variety.

When pressed on his reticence to implement a full ban [on gambling ads], Anthony Albanese has repeatedly implied that gambling is part of Australian culture.

Culture doesn't happen in a vacuum, nor is it some sort of iron clad thing that never changes. Government policy has been a major contributor to addressing various public health issues that have historically been seen as cultural, and the same can apply to gambling.

Although I feel Albanese himself has a bit of a blind spot on this issue. He was one of the people who came out against the proposed greyhound racing ban by the NSW Liberal government in the 2010s, which has always tainted my view of him a little.

I thought it was clear from context I was talking about X.

Most of those are lesser evils compared to X, and that's probably the best you can hope for. And Bluesky is the obvious alternative lesser evil choice if you want a like for like replacement and aren't open to Mastodon.

If you're technically inclined, self-host navidrome or jellyfin.

If you just want music and don't care about the streaming part, bandcamp (although it does have some basic streaming I believe.

If you want streaming and aren't technically inclined, Tidal.

I get where you're coming from, but it's not like there aren't multiple obvious alternatives (and not just on the fediverse). And someone being clued in enough to boycott Spotify should have no trouble finding those alternatives. Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

But agreed that people could stand to be a bit more tactful about it and not immediately go on the attack.

Not to mention giving 100s of millions of dollars to fund Joe Rogan and his extreme right-wing propaganda.

Good to see, but shame that unemployment and study payments haven't been raised in real terms.

Annual prices are slightly cheaper, but they've been gradually squeezing that too. You can of course pause the months you don't want, but it's a somewhat obtuse process.
