As an example of how this tech can be useful: sometimes, games just hitch for a quick second. Can be any number of reasons why. Even on a ‘perfect’ system, it can happen. Such is the case with my PC and emulating android to play Destiny Rising. No matter what, it just likes to hitch occasionally. By using Lossless Scaling’s frame generation, it’s buttery smooth. I don’t notice any input lag (base FPS is 60) so everything’s all good.

I also use Lossless Scaling on my Lenovo Legion Go a lot. Just helps things look that much better.

Probably because the suits don’t play games, so they have no clue what makes a game good or not. All they have is data, but data without context is just numbers.

Been using it on my Lenovo Legion Go for a while now. It just keeps getting better.

Yep, can confirm.

I’ve extensively used my OG Legion Go. Even done a few simple hardware mods to put a bigger SSD in it. I love the thing, and the only real complaint I have is that there isn’t enough RAM.

Wonder if my lifetime membership will stick around.

Yeah, my 2080ti can run everything sans ray traced stuff perfectly, though I also haven’t had any issues with Indiana Jones or Doom: The Dark Ages.

Yarr matey!

Every time I think I want to upgrade my 2080ti, I see another article like this saying how nVidia is just gonna keep making things more expensive.

It’ll have to happen if only because developers won’t be able to afford the hardware either.

…I may or may not have linked that very video to a couple of friends a few years ago. We’ve played every weekend since.

That’s one hell of a poorly kept secret.

Tell that to the Halo Anniversary games.

Gotta be better than Oblivion’s regular combat.

If you think this armor is impressive, wait until you see me out of it.

NGL, I spent more on Destiny 2 crap I’ll never use than actual new games, and I’m depressed by this fact.

That’s me and my Legion Go. Got a dock, wireless keyboard and mouse, swapped the backplate for a new one and got a full-size NVME adapter for it, although the last one is mainly just for keeping the wireless module cool as the SSD heats up a lot. However, the new backplate has extra cooling vents for that, too. Next is adding a heat sink to the new SSD.

I’d argue Rogue at this point.

I’ve noticed. My Legion Go won’t output audio over HDMI plugged into a USB 4 dock after updating. My desktop is working fine, since I have a Focusrite Scarlett interface plugged into there and haven’t suffered any lack of audio.

…unless your card is too old or not an nVidia card.

So, what’s the over-under on when it’ll show up on Gamepass?

Hell, I use my Legion Go to stream from my desktop to my TV more than I boot up the game console attached to the TV. Even my wife, very vaguely a gamer, prefers the PC. She’s even a bit of a keyboard snob these days.

Chump change.

Because the kinda of people that sub to GamePass aren’t the kinda of people that play CoD every year.

I mean, this is neat, but I really enjoy the features of my original Legion Go. The removable controllers are just awesome, and it works wonderfully as a ‘I want to play my Steam games but I can’t be at my PC right now’ machine. I’ve been streaming to the thing since I got it, and it’s powerful enough to run relatively modern games on low-medium settings at 800p. I ran through God of War on it decently enough. Only downside is that the SSD heats up and can screw with the WiFi card directly underneath, but I don’t mind the noise from the fan because most of the time I’m using headphones with the thing anyways. It’s got USB4 as well, so I wanna get an external GPU dock eventually. As for now, a powered hub is doing great at essentially turning it into a console at my TV. The touchpad on the right controller is really handy for navigating Windows.

I mean, it is, but the headline acts as if the concept hasn’t been done before.

So nobody played StarMade then? Okay…

The Cryptid mod is pretty much the only reason I play on PC.

And I still won’t play it.

It’s an ad for an old game.

Good for you. For the rest of us, it’s a nuisance.

Meanwhile Destiny 2 keeps trucking right along.

Lemme land on Nirn and get an Argonian crew member.

Yet when Blizzard does it for WoW it’s okay?

At least there are ways to block those ads. Sponsorblock is a godsend as well.

…and are being replaced with handhelds like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, among others.

Yep. It’s literally designed to be repaired. A nice change of pace.

It isn’t so much replacing the CPU as it is replacing the entire motherboard, but it’s still better than what we’ve historically dealt with.

Good Lord, no. Please no.

What in the hell is the point of buying up a bunch of studios just to close them all. Microsoft turning into EA over here…
