About a year since I upgraded from my RX580 and I only did it because I got an amazingly stupid deal on a RX7600 ($175 about 3 months after launch). Otherwise, the card is fine and is, in fact, still being used on my cousin’s PC.

How’s PCSX2 performance on the Deck? I somehow get much better performance on my Ryzen 5 4500U laptop than I do on my Ally and that makes absolutely no fucking sense.

Literally anything would be better than plugging your ears and going “lalalala” which is what you’re doing right now.

That’s not true. Again, they have had 2 good cards in the last 10 years.

They don’t have any powerful GPU. Stop it with the denial, brother.

Controller as in “the thing that controls”, not a gamepad.

Did you miss the part where I pointed out AMD said they were gonna stop trying with high end? We were barely out of it for 2 generations and now we’re right back into it.

Welp. That’s another lie. Until very recently, if you wanted performance over NVIDIA’s 60-tier on AMD, your only options were the Vega 56, 64 or the Radeon VII, which were all trash. It wasn’t until the 6000 series that AMD was able to come close to NVIDIA’s 80-tier and they’ve come out and said they’re not doing that anymore, so we have a grand total of TWO high end Radeon cards. Your assertion that AMD has covered every price point below $3000 is pure fantasy.

Well, that’s just not true. I’ve been using AMD exclusively for 10 years now and they haven’t had a proper competitor to NVIDIA’s high end in since then. I’m willing to settle for less performance to avoid a shitty company but some people aren’t. It can’t make “less and less sense” to go with NVIDIA if they’re the only ones making the product you want to buy. More importantly, though: it doesn’t matter. The point is that people wanting performance above a 4080 are screwed because NVIDIA shat the bed with the 5000 series and AMD just doesn’t exist at that price point so the comment I’m replying to makes no sense.

Yeah, they suck, but they at least exist, AMD flat out said they’re not even gonna try anymore.

Just like I rode my 1080ti for a long time

You only skipped a generation. What are you talking about?

Not at the higher end, it doesn’t.

Arkham Horror 3rd Edition — NOT the LCG.

God dman it. I just bought a Galaxy Fit last Sunday.

Fucking Hitman, man. It’s not only confusing, it’s bullshit. I had Hitman 1 and 2 and there’s a process to transfer them into Hitman 3 so that you only buy the Hitman 3 content so I tried it and… it failed. It just did. No error or anything, it just didn’t transfer shit. I tried again and it gave me an error saying I couldn’t transfer Hitman 1 and 2 more than once. Fucking Square Enix (or was it IO?).

I’m not really trying to defend anything, though

Except they’re not. Most people like them and agree that they do add to the overall enjoyment of the game. Hell, I loved that part in the DLC when you fight two of them. It’s literally just a couple of people who are mad about them. So, yeah, git gud.

Congratulations?

Nope. The fact that everyone but like 4 people loves them makes them good game design.

They did learn a lot from Eternal. Mainly that people loved it and people complaining about the Marauders just need to git gud.

Troubleshooting Simulator. Hopefully, Far Cry 3 a couple of hours from now.

Edit: For anyone else who is having issues with the UPlay version of Far Cry 3 and hopes to find a sliver of hope here: I utterly failed. The game refuses to work. I even tried dxvk and vgvoodoo. The only “solution” I found (short of just buying the Steam version) is running it on integrated graphics (780M).

Let’s preface by making clear that when I say Lemmings are disconnected from reality, I don’t mean they’re delusional. I mean they’re so immersed in their unix-like free-as-in-freedom open-source technobubble that they’ve forgotten what regular people want.

As for the rest of your comment, yes, every social media will attract its own niche of people but not every platform is equally as disconnected from the real world. For example, nobody in Fragrantica (perfume social media) would recommend a regular person to buy a perfume that smells like cocaine and magazines, even though its one of the most popular fragrances among people who like perfumes. Meanwhile, on Lemmy, people love to pretend the SteamDeck is an actual alternative to the Switch.

Obligatory xkcd.

Every comment you guys make just cements how disconnected from reality you really are. There’s also cheap games for the Switch.

Nope, you’re disconnected from the real world because you don’t understand the average user doesn’t care about specs they can’t see. You walking back your words now doesn’t mean you didn’t say them. Nobody is putting anything in your mouth.

blablabla specs-wise

See? This is what I mean by disconnected from the real world. Next you’re gonna tell me how open source allows you to unlock the full potential of the Steamdeck’s hardware.

Nothing I’ve said is untrue, the relevant top comment is pure speculation at best.

Brother, you literally said the Switch 2 is not gonna be around 350 USD. You have exactly as much evidence of that as the relevant top comment has that it will be. The difference is that only your comment was serious.

AAAAAH. WAAAT. NO. DON’T PLAY ON THE TOILET. COME ON, GUYS.

The base SteamDeck doesn’t have an OLED screen and is still more expensive than the Switch OLED. As for the price of the Switch 2, it’s a well-known and documented practice that console manufacturers sell them at a loss and make back the profits in games. If anything, you’re the one spewing misinformation.

That’s a rumor. All we know is that they talked with the dev behind closed doors and he deleted everything related to Ryujinx afterwards. Sure, they could have paid him but it’s just as likely that they just threatened him. Let’s not forget how Nintendo made its money.

A very strong case could be made that dumping your keys and your games is not bypassing encryption.

Not sure why this is getting down votes

Because Lemmings are completely disconnected from the real world.

Probably a good idea but I hate switching distros and generally try to avoid it until I break the one I’m using and then I go all in. I have a bunch of backups so it should be fine.

Other than SteamOS on my SteamDeck, no but I was considering making the switch to Kinoite.

I don’t think they mean necessarily handhelds but definitely console-like machines. Like the OG steam machines.

I actually like immutable OSes exactly because most people do have a habit of blowing up their computers.

Ever. It’s not a desktop OS.

Make the switch to Linux, by all means but I don’t think you should use SteamOS as a desktop OS.

Windows 11 is to Windows 10 what XP was to 2000. Stop it.

8BitDo Ultimate but make sure you buy the Nintendo Switch version because it’s the only one with gyro. You could also just buy a DualSense.

Was there a chance that they would?

Hats off to you for being brave enough to play Dragon Age on a handheld, sir.
