No one is saying FSR should be excluded.
Though if there’s only going to be one hardware agnostic upscaler then I’d rather it be XESS than FSR.

A game like this will never be as polished as a sad dad Sony game and I’m 100% okay with that. These big systems driven games will always have bugs.
Not really a bug imo. There’s only been 1 fight where I did a reload due to losing a party member from shoving. Most fights it can be avoided and is part of the fun of combat.
OP used a virtual machine. No wifi involved with the guest
Curious what you use instead? Been looking for something that’s convenient to use, full resolution pictures and videos, desktop apps, etc. Sadly, WhatsApp is currently my leading choice with this news.
Family currently uses Google Chat and it’s pretty terrible. Buggy on iPhone and no desktop app.
If Google doesn't keep your watch history then how it can make recommendations? It seems like people who don't want Google to keep the watch history are probably also people who don't want Google to feed them videos algorithmically.
I’m all for self hosting but I just recently moved from a self hosted NAS to a dedicated small Synology box and I like it. I still self host several services but now I can do that on a laptop that sips power vs my large tower enclosure. I also bought a dedicated MikroTik router rather than self hosting pfsense or Untangle. Despite now having 3 machines instead of one, in aggregate, it still uses less power than my tower server. The laptop provides its own battery backup and now my router and NAS only use a small amount of energy so I can get a UPS that’ll last much longer. I also like the separation so rebooting one device doesn’t take everything down, etc.
I’m not saying one approach is right or wrong, just throwing out a different point of view.
All the services you point are great. Proxmox is a must imo.
None of your workloads will require anything from the GPU so I doubt you’ll experience much, if any, throttling. That said, that means you are also paying more for the GPU in the M2 Max that you won’t be using vs the M2 Pro.
Hard disagree with this. Both of these games are large zone, systems driven games which makes them more demanding on the CPU than many games out there. Starfield will probably a little more GPU demanding than Baldur's Gate 3 due to dynamic lighting systems and draw distance.
