Not being able to jump in a first person game.


Are you saying that maybe we shouldn’t be creating the Torment Nexus?


Surprised they (Denuvo, etc - not Valve) don’t just hard require SELinux.


Retail units couldn’t access most of the RSX in OtherOS for Sony reasons, Geohot fixing that was why they killed OtherOS.

Apparently the DOD units never had any lockouts on the GPU.


A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.

The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.


I don’t think it’d be that high, retail prices on similar hardware to the specs is ~USD$700, including a (crappy) case and a (decent) PSU.

I think Valve could get it to $649 without subsidy.

Just due to not having pay as much for the parts, they’d be getting the cpu+gpu directly from AMD as ‘semi-custom’ parts, so there is no Distributor, wholesaler or retailer profits to bundle in, the GPU is on the main board too, so no extra AIB profits to worry about on the GPU.

DRAM will be a ‘fun’ one due to price fluctuations though.

Really depends on how much profit they want to make.


That’s a bit different IIRC, they purchased them directly from Sony and they didn’t have any of the OtherOS hardware lockouts like retail consoles did.


I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing.

By employing people themselves and paying a proper wage.

It’s not hard.



Boo, part of the reason I liked Thunderbird was that it was free of Microsoft influence.

Now inevitably the client will start making changes that accommodate MS Exchange and AD more than IMAP+LDAP



Elon still doesn’t even have a robotaxi service despite promising it a decade ago, yet Waymo are doing freeways now.

Even the tiny Vegas loop is manually driven, despite being mostly through a boring company tunnel.


The niche is already filled by NUC sized PCs from China.


No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.

Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.


PCGamer’s advertisers care.

How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.

PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.



I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.

Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.


HR is great.

MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…


I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.

The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.

But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.


I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.

It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.


turn-based game, but not turn-based battles.

What does this mean?

I can understand the blitzball distaste though, it was polarising even then.


990Pro here (once had 770 80ohm, got nicked at work!!) - you can get some really nice memory foam+leather pads on ebay for them, makes a world of difference since they conform nicer and you get a slightly better seal for bass.


I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.

I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)





To add to this-

One of the biggest traps for new linux users since forever has been to jump straight into the deep end- tweaking any and every tunable- then when that inevitably all breaks, blaming Linux and moving back.

For anyone reading- You don’t need Arch as your first distro, you don’t want to on the bleeding edge unless you’re prepared to bleed. You don’t need things like Golden Eggroll Proton or any external launchers.

Just keep it simple to start- Something like Mint, SuSE or plain Fedora with Steam using the built-in Proton.

Bazzite gets… let say ‘advertised’ a lot and it’s got a lot of good ideas - but if you’re coming from Windows I think it’s just too much - it’s an immutable system* with containers for everything. That’s an ocean away from Windows unless you were comfortable with Sandboxie beforehand (if you were, dive right in)

*\the system is read only, you cannot change anything in the default image, ie. imagine if you were never allowed to add files to c:\windows

I don’t think this will be good due to Elon and AI slop- but.

anything is better than WP:NOT

Exclusionists aren’t real people :P


They seemed to have caught on to just scrolling straight to the bottom now too, so now it’s somewhere around 2/3rds the way down is the actual recipe nestled away between the filler.



If you’re on PC, SpecialK can do that now (on SSE, probably also LE if you’re on nVidia or use dgvoodoo for DX9 to DX12)


Can’t break mods on the GoG version!


Because as someone outside looking in- USA has not had a ‘left’ party in over a hundred years.

Your Democrats are Centre-Right sometimes approaching right wing.

Your Republicans were Classical Right, now Far Right.


2 player NSFW ‘game’

I figured this was going in a very different direction.


Congratulations Katie and Konqi!




How?

Reddit, Lemmy and Discord the bad actors now, people here are the ones calling for ‘raids’ on websites, to dox people, to ruins anonymous internet users lives.

4chan is tame by comparison.


Just wrap your house in 3 layers of sarking instead of one.
