Hey everyone!
I just moved to the area from across the river. I'm hoping to find new TTRPG / D&D stores to visit. What are your recommendations?
Edit: Thanks for all of the recommendations everyone! I'm going to try to visit as many of this spots as I can tomorrow.
I've been gaming on Ubuntu for a while. Besides making sure my system is up to date one of the biggest improvements i saw was when I enable NTSync.
Linux and Windows have different ideas about how multithreading synchronization should work. Both methods work extremely well, but neither is 100% compatible with the other. NTSync is an experimental Linux kernel driver designed to mimic Windows NT synchronization primitives enabling the Linux kernel to provide both the traditional Linux synchronization methods along with the methods used by Windows. Without this games for windows have to try to mimic the behavior of these synchronization primitives using what the Linux kernel provides.
I've been playing CP2077. I didn't see an increase in FPS when I enabled NTSync, but I sure did see my CPU load go down by quite a bit. Overall the game feels much smoother.
Ubuntu already has support for NTSync, but since it is considered experimental it isn't enabled by default. Enabling it is pretty easy, it's just these two commands:
# Enable ntsync now
sudo modprobe ntsync
# Enable ntsync to load on boot
echo "ntsync" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/ntsync.conf > /dev/null
Happy gaming everyone!
