  • Can’t lie I still love tropic thunder sooo much today. I get that the climate has shifted and understand why but I still feel like we’ve lost something valuable in the process. Robert Downey in black face was… wrong but at the same time felt perfect. It wasn’t the black face that got me, he really could’ve been dressed as anyone and I would’ve laughed the same. What got me was his inability to break script, even when not filming. Can’t remember the full context but the scene in which someone is calling him out on not breaking character and, in iirc the only time he breaks character throughout the movie he breaks down and says “I don’t break character until after the DVD commentary!” Idk why but it broke me and I can’t help but chuckle about it today.

    That movie is full of “no-no’s”, sure, but so was Chappelle’s show, Sanford and son etc.


  • I’m sorry, I’ve been confusing myself in the comments haha thought you were advising about how to get the windows version to run better now realize we’re on Linux sorry!

    So lutris is for running windows .exe on Linux! Good to know, and no I’m not dual booting yet just windows 11 just considering install Ubuntu/fedora or something to dual boot with and running cyberpunk from it instead of win11, or just going back to win10 and seeing if it helps






  • Haha, what a crazy coincidence! I had the original cyberpunk last year on windows 10. It was glitchy as hell but ran semi decent on my hardware.

    Deleted it, and last night just installed phantom liberty.

    Ngl, the gameplay and feel is so far 10x better than it was before the update. It’s actually complete now and if you hated it before I’d honestly recommend another try as so far I’m actually sort of enjoying the gameplay whereas I hated it before and only played for the story.

    Anyway, my issue is that with all of the updates it’s not running anywhere near as nice as it was before. I’m having to run it on the lowest resolution with every graphic option disabled which stinks because with the gameplay being fixed somewhat I’d really like to enjoy it graphically as well.

    I’ve installed Ubuntu dual boot on my ssd before and can do that again but any tips? I wouldn’t know about where to even get phantom liberty on fedora or how to install it?




  • I think you’re onto something. U.S citizen here and I actually love driving stick but where I live it’s a few hour drive to anywhere which makes driving a manual seem like more of a hassle, whereas those long trips in an automatic feel leisurely and I’m more well rested when I arrive.

    Couple that with manuals more commonly found in larger trucks around here. I work on vehicles, see many and can’t remember the last small car or truck that was manual. It’s all semi’s, dump trucks, dualies, you know? Big trucks which adds another barrier to people.

    I feel like if there were smaller manuals in my area then perception would change. As it is they’re reserved for work, big work at that.

    It’s sad to lose manuals in society but I’m seeing them less and less, everything seems to be going electric now, even companies known for diesel manuals.





  • I’m one. First found Reddit around 2011 iirc and yeah, the changes of the past 5-7 years took much of what brought me there in the first place away. The most recent API changes, killing the app that made me a daily user in the first place were just the cherry on top and what really crosses the line for me. Censor it all you want, hated that but what site isn’t censored to the brim nowadays? But take away my favorite apps and basically extort the developer? Nah.
