Probably not since I imagine nVidia and AMD will get injunctions to prevent them being sold in the west.


It’s just a roblox clone for kids, since Garry confirmed anything even remotely adult will be banned.




The actual story buried at the end of a Sino #1 article-

In the United States, companies like Oregon-based ESS Tech Inc. are already deploying iron flow systems for tech giants like Google.

However, some of these existing designs could struggle with “dendrites” — tiny, needle-like crystals that can short-circuit the battery. The Chinese team believes they have leapfrogged these hurdles by using an alkaline-based chemistry and their new molecular “shield.”




ARM isn’t the reason why it won’t work for long.

It’s cooling, as soon as the phone thermal soaks it’s throttles down - phones can’t have a decent cooling system since they use power (fans EAT power), degrade water resistance and just add weight/bulk that most don’t want in a phone.

The handhelds you’ve listed aren’t phones. They’re handhelds that do in fact have heatsinks - they’ll work fine.

Again this isn’t anything against ARM, it’s the idea that a phone form factor with zero cooling considerations will somehow best a device with those considerations.


For a minute or so anyway, until the SoC overheats and thermal throttles.

You’re going to need a bigger battery and a real heatsink+fan if you want real gaming out of it, at which point it’s going to start getting to Deck size…


Windows

pfft, DOSSHELL is where it’s at.



Does it have a faster, sleeker looking Dara O’Briain for a logo?


To be fair, ‘PlayStation’ is an American brand now, SIE is headquartered in California.


Switch2 is selling insanely well in Japan as they have their special Japan-only subsidised version. (¥49,980/~USD$313)


Owncast if you’ve got a decent enough internet connection.

Consider- a ‘decent’ 1080p h.265+opus stream will be around 8mbps, if you’ve got 10 devices watching, that’s 80mbps, you’d really want 100mbps+ upstream bandwidth to do that.

If you’re lucky enough to have 1GBPS/1GBPS, then you’re probably fine for a hundred or so devices, if you’re stuck on an asynchronous connection, do consider how much upstream bandwidth you (they) have.




Increasingly yes, Unity is spyware and UE5 games all play, look and feel the same.



I wouldn’t consider the main Dragon Quest series to be AAA, let alone the spin-off builders game…


The problem is anything else is extremely expensive for what should be a $1 a year service or you can self host but constantly be chasing domain blocks since your MX isn’t whitelisted and won’t be by the blue chips since you’re not a blue chip corporation.



I wouldn’t say any update.

The game should be fit for purpose, bug fixes should be expected.

New content should not, a ‘roadmap’ should not be expected. But I do expect the game to work.





I know the topic is prices increasing due to scarcity of parts, but Nintendo should have expected exactly that outcome when they started subsidising the Japan-only consoles with higher prices elsewhere…




Third the employees.

Reminder that Skyrim was made with a staff of ~300, that included revamping Gamebryo into Creation.

Devs with ~1000 devs using UE5 - what are the people even doing other than useless meetings?


We can dream, might be all we’ve got left soon.


Development of the arts is supposed to be for arts that could never stand on their own feet commercially though.

Game publishers shouldn’t ever be getting a cent.

Game developers shouldn’t either unless the game is released for free.


Regular slop, ground truth data structured slop

It all flows downhill.


Maybe the techbros will get the investment class to pay for Fusion within the decade?


I was going to say I haven’t held any nVidia bags in years, but then I spied my Switch 2.



I have no plans on buying any mods from Bethesda.

Why?

Because there is no guarantee of interoperability.

With mods from Nexus and friends, I have no expectation of compatibility between gratis mods made by people in their free time. (even though mod authors usually go to great pains to make sure they’re compatible with most anything that isn’t another mod doing the same thing)

If I’m paying for a ‘mod’ (really just DLC) - I expect a paid level of support.


If GenZ has a BS meter, it’s wired backwards.
