biblically accurate lemon

I tried the original, but it I just got bored with repetitive “bring me 5 McGuffins” quests after a few hours. it’s a shame though, I quite enjoyed combats as a battlemage.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

The NGG culling override can be forced on existing Mesa releases if desired using the “RADV_PERFTEST=nggc” environment variable override.

so I assume it’s worth trying it out on Navi 14?

yeah, I don’t get it either. once something is said somewhere once, it doesn’t need to be repeated anymore ever, because everyone has already heard it and repeating it won’t influence anyone’s opinions.

The process from here involves setting up a business entity in Germany, so we can import the t-shirts, store them in a warehouse, connect inventory logistics and ship them all over the world.

SearXNG generates a URL that contains all the preferences you’ve set, so it’s a matter of copying it and setting it as a default search engine on another device.
