But it took 5 year, that's slow and inefficient! DOGE can't be slow and inefficient because it's lead by corporate america, not bureaucratic america.

Hybrid graphics had troubles last spring, but in my case it was fixed around late July. I still launch steam with weird env variables (i don't often change my shortcuts), but i'm not sure it's needed.

To be fair, my only criticism of expedition 33 are the game poor performances. I understand in this case it's warranted, as the art also tells the story, but i had to buy a new GPU to play an AA game, which I usually never do.
