We are all newbs.

Earlier this week I released the third (and hopefully last) Release Candidate for dhewm3 1.5.5: https://dhewm3.org/#dhewm3-1.5.5-release-candidate-3

Testing is very welcome!

The biggest changes since 1.5.4 are:
* Removed microstutters, runs at smooth 60FPS now instead of trying to run at 62.5FPS which is bad on 60Hz screens with VSync
* Support for aspect-ratio-independent GUIs (HUD and menus). Requires updated GUIs, dhewm3 provides ones for base game, D3XP and Lost Mission
* Lots of bugfixes etc

Excellent example for the list of answers as to why I try to keep my household linux-free:
"stores the user's birth date for age verification, as required by recent laws
in California (AB-1043), Colorado (SB26-051), Brazil (Lei 15.211/2025), etc."

The brainrot is big in this one.
also… TIL: "systemd-userdbd" wtflol.
Kinda amazed how they manage to still find new nooks and crannies to metastasise into, in their haphazard nonchalant fashion.

extra-lol for this idiocy:
