Lol ok. That’s some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You’re doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.
Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.
I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I’d overspend on everything, and I’d never find games I missed like that.
So the AI Max 395+ easily performs about 6 to 8 times faster than the Steam Deck, but it of course uses way more power to accomplish it.
I have a Framework Desktop with the 395+, I use it as a small form factor gaming PC and it can play any modern game at 1440p without upscaling on high graphics settings while maintaining 60fps. Max power draw of about 120 watts. It’s also basically silent which is awesome.
I’d imagine if they limit power draw for a handheld, it’d probably run significantly more efficiently than either the steam deck or Ally though. But I also feel like throttling such a powerful iGPU seems kinda wasteful and the 385+ could work just as well at low power and cost less…
I wish people would actually stay in the industry but this is unlikely. Why would someone continue to work in an industry that will cut them at a moment’s notice for no reason? These people will leave gaming and become software engineers in other fields. There are more people just looking to work than there are people looking to start a full studio.
Lol I wish I had the time to play 3 different games a day. Really, I have lots of small play sessions mostly on the weekends. Depending on what I have going on, I might not play anything for a week. Then other times I get to play something every night for a short window.
In reality, my longest streak this year was 23 days and steam says I played 34 different games in that time. Steam deck sure cranked up my play session counts too. And most of those games I’ve already beat. I might get an itch to go through a whole game (like the batman Arkham series, just replayed all that over those 23 days) but usually I just get an itch to play a small bit of this or that.
Yeah I pulled the trigger on the last sale. It’s the only game I own on Epic. I did have to use Heroic launcher to get it to cloud sync though, not surprising.
But it’s worth it. The game is a masterpiece in so many ways. I wish they didn’t have to rely on Epic to fund the game, but that’s the nature of the beast.
Google is adding a new app to company-managed Pixel phones, which allows IT admins to see all the RCS messages sent and received on specific devices.
Honestly I thought this was a thing already. Never assume that your company owned phone is private, never ever access your personal account on your work device.
I take it you haven’t priced parts for a gaming PC in the last 15 years?
