Austere_Squire: the last i recall of fire and the moonbase, everyone just sorta stared at it and then everyone died of starvation or of existing in the sun because they were vampires
Austere_Squire: and then Ben had to wipe that timeline from existence
e_bloc: and that wasn't even the darkest timeline
Austere_Squire: the moonbase sims was weirdly compelling
accountmadeforants: Yeah the overnight Sims was a great idea
accountmadeforants: Though it did demonstrate that Sims apparently *really* aren't capable of taking care of themselves.
Austere_Squire: no, they will apparently just elect to die, if given the opportunity
Vinewood_OG: Ahhh roof dishes. And the cursed hot tub.
definenull: and/or warping into liminal spaces
Austere_Squire: look
Austere_Squire: it's what adam would have wanted
Vinewood_OG: How bad could it be in the liminal space, really?

RandomTrivia:
The liminal space invited everyone to stair into the void 
Austere_Squire: and then Heather took on the task of mourning the deaths for everyone
SquareDotCube: @accountmadeforants That's the case for Sims 4, back when I was deep into Sims 1 in 2000-2003 a properly set up home was enough for a free will sim to barely survive, and that's also a sim *with* a job

e_bloc: nature is healing
Sethalidos: my only concern would be wear and tear on the components bitcoin mining pushes hardware HARD
TheMerricat: "At D-Central, we have been repairing, modifying, and repurposing ASIC miners since 2016. We have torn apart thousands of machines — S9s, S17s, S19s, Whatsminers, and everything in between. The conclusion is always the same: a well-maintained ASIC miner is a thermodynamic machine that converts electricity into heat and hashrate. When the hashrate-per-watt ratio no longer justifies pure mining, you still have a machine that converts electricity into heat with near-perfect efficiency....
Thefluffiestguineapig: If the only way any of us are getting any semi new components for computers is repurposed from various other things, needs must because AI is being dumb

@Thefluffiestguineapig Except the way they word it, they make it sound like they are making a case to convert them into space heaters.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TheMerricat Honestly, that would still be a better use for them, but now they can make money even selling them for pennies on the dollar since there are no other computer parts

DrakoniteDev: there was another model that had an APU almost identical to the PS5. unfortunately I wasn't able to get one before prices spiked
RelwinEJ: What decade is that chonky laptop from?

OldUncleDan: Or sent to some Third World Country for recycling.
Arclight_Dynamo: Are the CPU cores optimized for performance or heavy-lift (like video rendering)? I don't know what a crypto CPU is built for.

MacbethSeemsSus: Don't ever skimp on a power supply
Arclight_Dynamo: Not a concern for this project, probably, but in general, if you're running Linux, you want DP. The HDMI consortium doesn't allow proper drivers on Linux, so you lose some functionality.
TheMerricat: @Arclight_Dynamo Imagine that....

Lord_Hosk: we are very very ready
MacbethSeemsSus: A network card? The decadence
e_bloc: the only bad thing about the panalysts is there aren't 1000 episodes
Despoiler98: @e_bloc truth
MTigress: yus
Its_VeeBot:
Its_VeeBot: Green checkmark of goodness
OldUncleDan: Fun fact: A local Ice Cream Company uses Ammonia for their refrigerant. Apparently, it's very economical and efficient. With some safety considerations.
e_bloc: how many years until we hit windows 95 again
Its_VeeBot: Cool Technology!
pimiento: cool technology!
CodenameBluebird1: while were waiting can we get some information on your keyboard because it’s super cool and I’d like to try and find one.
e_bloc: and if it doesn't, bonus content
Despoiler98: kb8861
IsaTheEngie subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 127 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, IsaTheEngie! (Today's storm count: 20)
SnackPak_: neat
LordZarano: DSI finacial keyboard
CodenameBluebird1: that helps googling lol
mercano82: A Disk ][
e_bloc: aftermarket apple sticker
Its_VeeBot: I found it on Amazon Japan
MacbethSeemsSus: Looks like a DSI Variable Financial keyboard
Its_VeeBot: Ian, I found the keyboard on eBay. Current going price is $628.36 or best offer (USD)
MacbethSeemsSus: It looks very discontinued not surprising
TheNerdWonder: oh that's interesting. all the images of that keyboard have the keyboard on the top part
Its_VeeBot: The keyboard is more expensive than the PC it's connected to
e_bloc: I do enjoy an f-keypad
Arclight_Dynamo: It's a Gnown thing.
Its_VeeBot: Ian getting Gnomed by the hardware
MacbethSeemsSus: Yep, sounds like Linux
Arclight_Dynamo: I wouldn't like Gnome for a desktop, but if you're launching directly into Steam, I don't think the desktop environment matters.
DrakoniteDev: steam os, which is just arch with steam preinstalled, is popular on these
Texan_Reverend: @Its_VeeBot Yeah, but that one might as well not be listed, considering its price.
Its_VeeBot: Might be because the one I found is new in box it seems
Its_VeeBot: Nope used
Its_VeeBot: Why
ArdCollider: $630 a bit much, LOL
MacbethSeemsSus: You know, you could probably make the gui look like a Commodore64....
TheNerdWonder: ah, the company that made those made them custom for specific customers. They were NOT intended for retail use. Hence the limited numbers and high prices
Vinewood_OG: I'm not risking the Gabe naval intervention, thanks.
TheNerdWonder: the DSI keyboard, that is
e_bloc: I just want to log in to pretend I've played 10,000 hours of yakuza
MungoDude: Ctrl+Shift+V to paste into a terminal usually
Arclight_Dynamo: Notably, there are two layouts - keyboard on bottom and numbers on bottom.
Its_VeeBot: Ctrl Shift V
LordZarano: @DrakoniteDev SteamOS is definitely not just Arch with Steam, it's a whole immutable OS which installs 2 copies so it can update the inactive one and fail back to the last working copy if something beaks, like Bazzite. On Arch you're on your own
Juliamon: "On Arch you're on your own" is just Arch in general
LordZarano: Well, you've got the wiki
TheNerdWonder:
the official vendor for the DSI keyboard appears to be https://dsi-keyboards.com . That item is currently out of stock
xantos69: Ian, I have not read Dune... So can you explain what an Oberon Governor is?
DrakoniteDev: @LordZarano isn't the immutable base part of arch?
TheNerdWonder: also, the keyboard and touchpad are swapped from the one Ian has
Its_VeeBot: I assume this script is written to survive a new system update on Bazzite
Arclight_Dynamo: I do find it hilarious that the new meta is undervolting.
Texan_Reverend: @TheNerdWonder It's a convertible keyboard. You can open it up and swap the configuration.
MTigress: i had to step away for a bit, have we reached the part of os install where we smash the keyboard in frustration yet?
TheNerdWonder: @Texan_Reverend oh neat. Good to know
62MGcobra: internet go brr
StronkChonkler: What is that speed?!
Juliamon: that's "we're sorry about you not having internet for a week. it will happen again" speed
SnackPak_: fun
Its_VeeBot: Three convenient crashes
Shadowsoflife: interesting
MTigress: what country's flag uses green, pink, and black?
Its_VeeBot: Have you caught 'em all, Ian?
MWGNZ: and if it's a real good crash you get to see the magic smoke
MacbethSeemsSus: We know this crashes, but we're making it clear how it crashes
e_bloc: if its all three do you get some sort of psychadelic christmas tree flashing
xantos69: Nobody tell him about the forbidden blue screen.
MacbethSeemsSus: @MWGNZ That's when the Linux community elects a new Kernel
e_bloc: green crash at night, bios is right
MungoDude: @MTigress only Mexico and Spain use pink
Cptasparagus: Crash Bandicoot
Arclight_Dynamo: Just commit a crash screen colour-selector to the kernel.
Its_VeeBot: Isn't there an actual Linux BSOD screen? I think it also has a QR code for help
e_bloc: 2 in the pink, one in the heat sink
DrakoniteDev: they run these things for failure, so not surprisingly to have stability issues
SymphonySolstice: all the sudden just aircraft levels of FRRRRRRR
SymphonySolstice: running nonbinary scripts
e_bloc: post malone scripts
aquinas_0: @Its_VeeBot I think fedora was talking about adding that, haven't seen it in the wild
mercano82: Running PostgreSQL scripts.
MacbethSeemsSus: We're now in a post-script society
62MGcobra: fan starts to pull the board off the table?
Aceviru: We're missing something on this script sandwich
Mollylele: 🏳️⚧️ streamer says trans scripts
e_bloc: happy pride
Its_VeeBot: I do know vaguely what it's doing, but not why it appears to be going in circles
DrakoniteDev:
@Its_VeeBot you used to be able to kick a crashed kernel in to a special debug command line with sysreq
MungoDude: chmod no r
Its_VeeBot: It took me years to learn about sudo !!
SnackPak_:
Ian's in the local app data
Thefluffiestguineapig: @SnackPak_ Can we differentiate Ian from Cori? The answer is always yes
Its_VeeBot: Wait, it's different
Its_VeeBot: No it's not
Its_VeeBot: Huh
MacbethSeemsSus: "Cyan Skillfish Governor" is someone's activation phrase
Aceviru: I don't. The tree throws a lot of shade
shendaras: It looked like it was doing something slightly different since it made a swapfile just now.
SnackPak_: is it adding copr repos?
Ned_Flandalorian: reticulating splines
Its_VeeBot: init ram fs
aquinas_0: ah
aquinas_0: I remembered alt-sysrq reisub
aquinas_0: !
Its_VeeBot: Initial RAM Filesystem. That or it's a British man swearing at his memory.
MungoDude: initramfs - the bit the kernel loads to load more of the kernel at boot, kinda
Aceviru:
@Its_VeeBot
62MGcobra:
shendaras: Had that other script finished?
OldUncleDan: You leave my uncle out of this!
MacbethSeemsSus: Bob remains your uncle
Shadowsoflife: I once had an uncle bob
DrakoniteDev: proton is nice, except it works so well I'm struggling to get time to work on a native build of game at work
DrakoniteDev: what printer does the Ian use?
MWGNZ: in theory you could recover it if you figured out what layer it was at and it was still on the print bed
e_bloc: it probably doesnt know where it stopped
Its_VeeBot: Yeet that print yeah
MWGNZ: full reprint will be much easier
IsaTheEngie: I've never had luck resuming paused prints, even on printers that allegedly support it
Its_VeeBot: I've trashed bigger prints
Cptasparagus: my uncle just sent me a candid photo of the governator the other day (he's in Columbus Ohio for his yearly fitness convention)
SquareDotCube: proud anarchist Kate
e_bloc: I think I saw that poster on jobjob
Arclight_Dynamo: "No gods or kings: Maybelline"
Shadowsoflife: @Cptasparagus It kind weird see your home time pop up in chat
Shadowsoflife: @Shadowsoflife town*
Its_VeeBot: Sounds like a 10/10 good idea
Cptasparagus: @Shadowsoflife nice, its mine too!
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Shadowsoflife Wait, me too. Your uncle goes to the Arnold?
MWGNZ: there's cpu firmware mitigations, and 'compiled in to code' mitigations, and they have a big overlap in coverage and both hurt performance
Thefluffiestguineapig: How do three of us have that same home town that's wild TBH
Shadowsoflife: @Cptasparagus I mean he could, He was on the radio for a bit
Thefluffiestguineapig: Ohio LRR meet up when?
Shadowsoflife: @Thefluffiestguineapig That's wild
Cptasparagus: @Thefluffiestguineapig no, they just happened to be at Easton. But I have served Arnold ice cream when I worked there like 15 years ago XD Been a long time since I lived there
Shadowsoflife: @Cptasparagus I'm like a mile for Easton
Thefluffiestguineapig: I wonder if I saw one of you in the wild but that would be a very weird convo to have in open chat, Shadowsoflife do you still live in chat?
e_bloc: no
DrakoniteDev: @Thefluffiestguineapig I'm in a twitch community of 100-150 people, and know of three other people there that live in my town. it is weird
MacbethSeemsSus: The cpu is not certified for heat death of the universe
Thefluffiestguineapig: *Columbus? Wow my brain is absolutely done
e_bloc: I think that might be too late for the fan
Shadowsoflife: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah, In columbus
e_bloc: if your hardware is at 4 figures in any scale, thats a problem
MWGNZ: tempreture = yes
Too_Many_Knives: Fan spinning up?
e_bloc: if it does you better go catch it
AMuseOfFirebane: Not Columbus, I'm in NE Ohio, but eyyyy
Shadowsoflife: @AMuseOfFirebane Nice
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Shadowsoflife Feel free to DM me because I might have seen you wearing a LRR tee shirt once and complemented you on it. At an outdoor library event that was also a Pokemon Go raid day
Too_Many_Knives: Normal Linux Experience
MWGNZ: trying the benchmark on my pc and i had to run it with sudo
e_bloc: my sister and her wife live in new albany...i really need to visit
MacbethSeemsSus: Reminds me of adding Skyrim mods a couple weeks ago
Thefluffiestguineapig: Genuinely this many Ohio people we should have an Ohio meet up
Shadowsoflife: @Thefluffiestguineapig That would be weird, but I don't have nay LRR merch
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Shadowsoflife Dinger, so there's ANOTHER ONE
Cptasparagus: @Shadowsoflife *theres more out there*
Juliamon: all roads lead to Ohio, after all
DrakoniteDev: Linux usually installs and runs uneventfully on proper hardware meant to be used as a desktop
Too_Many_Knives: Stick to AMD hardware has been common Linux guidance for decades
Shadowsoflife: @Cptasparagus There's dozens probably
Cptasparagus: @Juliamon its so true, I work with four OSU grads in my lab, and they all keep talking about OSU/Michigan drama and I hate it
Arclight_Dynamo: That's one of the advantages of Cachy - it tries to support new hardware *quick*.
Arclight_Dynamo: Welll... Linux quick.
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Juliamon I fucking guess, past the "HELL IS REAL" signs on our very otherwise boring highways
Shadowsoflife: @Cptasparagus Wild
e_bloc: ian pulls a completed steam box out of the oven
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Cptasparagus -.- I'm very done with that. I don't sports and people look at me like I'm insane. But seriously we should organize an Ohio LRR meet up
omdorastrix: the magic of Television "I prepared this earlier" thing
Too_Many_Knives: "Here's the ROM I baked earlier"
Cptasparagus: my sister also shouted "OH" on the great wall of china and got an "IO" back
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc "And here's one I made earlier"
DrakoniteDev: spare nvme drives? someone is flexing their paycheck
Juliamon: (I've never been to Ohio myself, but the Ohio Worms were my primary blaseball team and I absorbed a lot of memes from them)
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Cptasparagus Someone did that in Dublin, Ireland once to prove a point to me. And also York, UK
MWGNZ: re-pair, not repair
e_bloc: is it supposed to be shining
niccus: dispair
e_bloc: @Juliamon Baltimore Crabs for life
Juliamon: crabs down
tidehollowcat: go pies
Shadowsoflife: @Cptasparagus Wild
e_bloc: I can't believe you are my sworn enemy Juliamon
Its_VeeBot: Bluetooth: It's Bad™️
Juliamon: frienemy
e_bloc: blaseball was such a fun experience that I hope they never try to emulate
Juliamon: crabs and worms are an uneasy alliance, we both have shells
Its_VeeBot: Gnome: It's Also Not Great Honestly™️
DrakoniteDev: that xb controller supports bt pairing to two devices, but I can never remember how to control which device it connects
Too_Many_Knives: TAKE CONTROL
e_bloc: its true, we travel in similar circles
Uniclonus: Only 9 minutes of Control? You need to fix that
Simonark: It's a very fun new level!
MacbethSeemsSus: *cocks powerwasher*
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc There are many things I say that about and then the C-suite tries to make more money
Simonark: I recommend the miniature village.
Cptasparagus: it can be, if you crank it
Arclight_Dynamo: Ooh, MangoHUD!
TehAmelie: i have seen Paul's stream of Control, it it many more hours than that
dagoth__ur_: finger prints
e_bloc: @Thefluffiestguineapig as someone who has worked closely with the CFO in his last 3 jobs, I will say the C-suite is where you will find the biggest idiots in the company
SnackPak_: steam as a flatpak is kinda amazing how it mostly just works
MungoDude: gives you cpu/gpu usage stats etc in the corner
OldUncleDan: Aren't all Protons Plus?
Thefluffiestguineapig: @e_bloc My point precisely, the most disconnected idiots
Arclight_Dynamo: Does this setup run into the problem where a lot of games hide some game options, because it thinks it's a Steam Deck?
Arclight_Dynamo: I've heard that can be an issue with Bazzite.
SymphonySolstice: control, known for its vulkan representation
TehAmelie: Vulcan is a fire and forge god, right?
e_bloc: paul that is illogical
mercano82: I am, and always have been, your shader
Aceviru: g a m i n g
Too_Many_Knives: We're driving the GPU at 655%
Its_VeeBot: Turner Classic Lovies
MungoDude: steady 60fps on the title screen
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie As the Roman version of Hephaestus that would make sense yes
MacbethSeemsSus: Slightly overclocked
shendaras: tcl/tk
mercano82: is it using 7 GPU cores?
TheWriterAleph: wheeeee
Ned_Flandalorian: oh right, they patched Control just to advertise Alan Wake 2
TehAmelie: we have no game audio if that matters
SymphonySolstice: brrrrrrrrrrr
HadesLeprechaun: oh I can hear that, lol
Too_Many_Knives: Leaf Blower Engage
mercano82: Advance throttles to take off power.
Aceviru: Men, clear the launch pad
e_bloc: control is such a good game
Shadowsoflife: @Ned_Flandalorian I believe they are in the same world
MacbethSeemsSus: Eww, motion blur
CrossXhunteR: that fan is fanning
Aceviru: That's not a fan that's an engine haha
TehAmelie: Control has some surprisingly high hardware demands
mercano82: we’ve got six turning, four burning
Ned_Flandalorian: @Shadowsoflife does not excuse pushing an ad disguised as an update
Thefluffiestguineapig: @TehAmelie It does have a lot of moving things on screen at once at most times
e_bloc: Ian always has interesting definitions of fun
MungoDude: 3037 rpm
Shadowsoflife: @Ned_Flandalorian Fair
TehAmelie: and very high graphic fidelity
e_bloc: oh shit I thought that was farenheit
CrossXhunteR: wonder if the FPS will drop once it gets heat saturated
Thefluffiestguineapig: @Ned_Flandalorian Oh not at all, the DLC was fun and the patch was not a good thing to overshadow that
Arclight_Dynamo: Do we know the TJmax for this APU?
omdorastrix: Yeah - definitely in thermal throttle range there
TomatoKigu: Yakuza time?
Shadowsoflife: ^
Too_Many_Knives: Talk to your doctor if Elden Ring is right for you
omdorastrix: Usually it's closer to 90/100C for Max, but 85 is probably good for giving you margin and room for hotspots if the cooling isn't super perfect
MungoDude: mangohud's overhead is negligible
Strebenherz: i'm impressed it's holding up this well
Arclight_Dynamo: (And, yes, I'm irritated that TJmax sounds liek the store)
Cptasparagus: I was curious about Elden Ring until my parents got my pastor involved
Strebenherz: how much do the bitcoin mining junk rigs probably go for now?
xantos69: Yes, but does it play Doom?
Its_VeeBot: Bamco
Too_Many_Knives: Are you going to 3D-print a case for it?
Aceviru: @Too_Many_Knives Side effects include: reporting in sick for work, not answering the door, trouble remember to eat, and death
Aceviru: Remembering*
e_bloc: @Aceviru see your doctor if you can;t stop asking to solo her
Strebenherz: nice!
BalthusHomewood: Oh lawd he comin
TehAmelie: ded
Strebenherz: Sexto bloacha is a great name

e_bloc: yeah that's rhythm cafe
MacbethSeemsSus: Caress the monitor
SymphonySolstice: scrubbie scrubbie

MTigress: that's a good green
LordZarano: GSOD
Aceviru: @Too_Many_Knives This is Not and Xbox
MungoDude: key it to the matrix
omdorastrix: The've knocked it down to like 12G
omdorastrix: The first few forks focussed on VRAM knocked it down quickly
e_bloc: is that your un-biosed position
SymphonySolstice: superposition says absolutely not
MacbethSeemsSus: Praise be to the Cyan Skillfish
MungoDude: if you don't have htop, do you have btop ?
omdorastrix: I think it's still CUDA only tho...
SymphonySolstice: welp

IsaTheEngie: Huh. Furmark looks different than I remembered.
Arclight_Dynamo: It's metastable.
Cptasparagus: @e_bloc is there a trypophobia but for uncanny valley fur?
SymphonySolstice: that's so fuzzy
Morrigan9: 100% of the time it's stable, it's stable
e_bloc: @Cptasparagus honestly I do think thats what got me
e_bloc: it is stable on occasions when it is stable
Arclight_Dynamo: Doing this on a normal computer may actually be mainstream soon.
omdorastrix:
It IS sound, we can CLEARLY hear it
Strebenherz: honestly Ian, thank you for the ideas for cheaper computer options, given current prices
DrakoniteDev: have you soaked memtest86 on it?
MacbethSeemsSus: A little toasty but overall good
Arclight_Dynamo: A lot of mining/AI devices use different core configurations for CPUs than you'd want for gaming, too, IIRC.
Lord_Hosk: Linux is... Closer to being a viable option than it ever has been. But its still not there. and the biggest thing stoping its wider adoption is the Linux community who on one hand says "everyone should use Linux Linux is better" and at the same time says "hehe, we are the only ones smart enough to use Linux you have to be peak smart to use Linux if you can't use Linux you are a dumb"
DrakoniteDev: newer ones are ASIC based instead of having an APU, AFAIK

Shadowsoflife: o/
TheNerdWonder: the absolute array of distros is both Linux's strength and failure point

KWardJenx:
200 This was just great to see. Thank you all.
Strebenherz: @Lord_Hosk yeaaah as a relatively low tech-able user, it's not as bad as it seems at first. the public image doesn't do it favors.
DrakoniteDev: @Lord_Hosk IMO biggest issue is the "community" tries to push what they like instead of trying understand what is actually good for new users
SnackPak_:
MTigress: yeys!
MungoDude: @Lord_Hosk it's alright, the more Microsoft mistreats its users, the more of them will reluctantly join us in Linux, the more we'll ease up on bullying those new to the community. What I mean to say is, I believe things will continue to improve
LordZarano: @Lord_Hosk Steam Deck is mass market linux, in that you never need to know it's linux to use it
MacbethSeemsSus: Ze game, est so tight
MungoDude: @LordZarano so is android, to an extent
e_bloc: not even their final form
TheNerdWonder: Linux has absolutely conquered markets that most people don't even know exist but use everyday
putz12a: Linux is basically there for general use, as long as it's just basic general use. Gaming and specific software are where it falls down because it needs tweaking. And then there's the fight to get game devs to actually support it.
Ned_Flandalorian:
Strebenherz: Earlier Paul said something to the effect of microsoft making windows 10 worse? Are there updates i should be avoiding, or is it more the since they discontinued support kinda thing?
Aceviru: @MungoDude Don't worry, the vast majority of population will just go with the path of least resistance. ai is fun for kids.
DrakoniteDev: @putz12a valve has mostly bridged the gap for gaming
Vinewood_OG: $5 on Ben
TheNerdWonder: @Strebenherz it's more that they're shoving AI and ads everywhere they can get away with
MacbethSeemsSus: @putz12a The main obstacle at this point is kernel level anti-cheat.
Strebenherz: gotcha gotcha
SnackPak_: ooo
TheNerdWonder: rumors have it that Windows 12 will be fundamentally based around AI. No one liked that
putz12a: @DrakoniteDev I am aware. I'm running Linux on my main gaming box. But the Kernel-level Anticheat, and the way that Dev companies regularly blame Linux for cheaters is not doing it any favors.
Juliamon: TheNerdWonder That rumor was a bad article
TheNerdWonder: @Juliamon good to know
Juliamon: I'm sure they ARE planning Win12 to be AI focused, but that specific article that was going around is slop

Juliamon: also from what I was seeing on masto today, systemd is slopifying?
LoadingReadyRun:
My main objection with the current Windows situation is that MS is pushing so hard to get everyone to move to Win 11, even on computers that *can't install it*
LordZarano: Of the 15732 games with SteamDB ratings 7844 are platinum (just click play) rated. So the problem is ~49.8% solved
TehAmelie: i find it pretty funny when Microslop tries to tell me to get Win 11 and at the same time tell me my machine can't get Win 11
DoodlestheGreat: My laptop is like that.
LordZarano: Adding the gold rated takes that up to 83%
Juliamon: That's a coinflip I imagine most people are willing to make
LordZarano: ProtonDB ratings, not SteamDB, oops
