The problem is that these ‘features’ give you the fake appearance of performance but at the cost of actual performance. And they aren’t even good in the first place. Upscaling is like smearing vaseline all over your screen and saying “see how good it looks” when it’s just a blurry mess, especially with temporal elements. Frame generation gives artificial smoothness but doesn’t help input latency which is the part of frame rate that actually matters.

The kicker is that it costs real frames to generate fake ones. The game ends up looking and feeling worse.

So I have to roleplay romance in my role playing game? I don’t play role playing games to play roles! /s

Been interested in Deep Rock Galactic since the unofficial VR mod was released earlier this year

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth

Not sure if you’re serious, but as someone who graduated a US high school just a few years ago, yes young people actually do care about stupid things like this. Real otherwise completely normal seeming people discriminate based on bubble color.

Which hand exactly?

As long as they pay the fare

Yeah that’s fair enough. Are there any free as in freedom solutions that allow you to sync progress through videos on multiple devices? If I’m watching some long video over multiple days it’s really convenient to easily switch it between all my devices, and have it automatically continue where I left off

Revanced is still a thing

I had it pop up a couple times in Firefox, but it went away when I enabled the Annoyances filter in ublock settings. The videos just work now, no problem

It was a pretty big remaster of the game, makes sense that it has some staying power

I enjoy battle royales and have hundreds of hours in Apex, but what I really don’t like about them is that they change all the time. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s kind of annoying to put a game down for a year and come back to a completely different experience. You don’t even get the choice, in Apex especially I know they rotate through the maps that are available, so the one I prefer might be impossible to play on for 6 months straight. For this reason, Apex can never be as good of a game to me as Titanfall 2 still is to this day.

Plus, when the official servers are taken down a decade from now, there will be literally no way to revisit the experience. The only things left of the game will be recordings and memories. This is yet another thing that is better with more traditional games, where players can make their own custom servers (like Northstar for Titanfall 2).

Titanfall

Yeah. But guess what, you can buy a disk drive. You can install another game launcher. You can even pir-[removed].

There are inherently more options on PC than there are on a console.

Seemed like you were wondering whether DOS2 = BG3

Expanded and enhanced

Divinity Original Sin 2 was their previous game from some years ago

You say that like it’s something evil

You’re not stuck to only Steam on a computer, whereas you are stuck on a console

I was the first in my entire immediate family, got them all to switch to it. Helps that it’s easy to use

Signal

That would of course raise the cost though

Fun story: we just had the first week of uni here and over the summer all the school computers had been updated to Windows 11. During the first class then naturally all the professors were logging in to the computers for the first time. Upon opening the course syllabus, every single time, a big popup would appear on the screen about how Edge is so great and asking for analytics data permission. About half of the professors just agreed to everything fast to get it out of the way but the other half did reject it. In one case a professor was reading over the whole thing for at least 30 seconds

Just a wireless adapter for the index would be nice, though it would have been nicer 3 years ago. The cable makes the barrier of getting it out of the box pretty high for me personally. Still definitely don’t want the mobile level graphics of a fully standalone headset though.

No, but I won’t stop myself after already getting two plates just because I’m scared the employees won’t like it, nor will I go right after I just had a meal

Unlimited means unlimited, they shouldn’t advertise that if they can’t provide it

I think they misunderstood what about the steam deck is making it popular

Thankfully those are only getting more popular unlike things like Windows phone back in the day. Hopefully it will continue improving over time

They really did it again huh

If they wanted to make a free OW2, they should have actually made an OW2 and left the original alone instead of tearing it down and putting a new coat of paint on it

I have never seen that before but it’s definitely not official Revanced. You should get the manager from here (https://github.com/revanced), download the recommended YouTube apk and patch it yourself.

I have used Vanced and now Revanced for many years and not had a problem with that

I guess EA can’t run Crysis any more

Doesn’t support SMS but Signal has a desktop app
