Try TuxedoOS if you want KDE. They have a guide on optimus: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/PRIME-GPU-Render-Offloading/GPU-on-demand-Mode-Guide.tuxedo

Higher res textures and shadow can be easy to spot. Go from lower setting -> high -> ultra setting, you can see the graphic different. Heavily Stylised game won’t look as good if you play it at lower setting compared to higher setting.

Yeah. Skyrim still has graphic mods today, people mod Minecraft to look better. Play enough of pretty graphic games and the standard is set, it’s hard to go back.

To be honest i would trust Yogthos who has been posting news threads for years than some paid journalists that has an agenda to whatever news they report. It resembles the old forum era where if you hang around long enough, you can trust/trust a little some users.

The trailers in release order:

• Official Trailer
• Launch Trailer
• Sakurajima Update Trailer

Slavery playstyle is more of a meme. You’re more pushed into the playstyle of improving the Pals’s condition, upgrade path from better bed, better hotspring, better food, … so they can work and rest better. It’s a sandbox survival game, you can choose how to play it.

You can improve the pal’s life ingame, but you as the pal in real life is
