Holy hell, is it bad. Oliver says it’s like early PS4 game but that outdoor lighting is straight out of Switch game. I’d say it’s better to run previous gen version so that at least it looks consistently bad. And it still drops to 40fps? They even managed to break VRR on Xbox which is pretty much free on that platform. LOL

Also, is it just me or is this thing just too hard too read? Those fonts at such low contrast just make my eyes bleed (take a look at MP values for player character).

Hopefully this is fixed by Metaphor: ReFantazio: ReFantazio’ed. I can wait.

First one was commercial (supported via Patreon), the other two are not even mods.

Those cases are consistent with their approach to current gen emulation. You’re not going to play those without emulators or mod chips they went after. Nintendo drew a line that was not crossed before.

Yes. Have you ever used Apple TV? This thing is leaps and bounds ahead everything of else, even Shield in terms of pure performance.

Even if things go well it will be one thing at a time probably. This news doesn’t sound big because Google is so big but for businesses dependent on Google infrastructure this is a major win, no?

My perspective might be skewed since I live in EU and we mostly won right to our data and privacy.

I meant “next big corpo beaten into submission by regulators”. I don’t think Epic gave up on them yet.

Apple TV doesn’t try to do much other than being a very technically capable passthrough. You get pretty much every streaming service, multiple Plex clients etc. And no ads.

My 1st Gen ATV4K is 7 years old now and was buttery smooth until last tvOS update, now it’s only slightly smoother than most high end TVs. That’s quite a good run.

Just disconnect your TV from the Internet and get an Apple TV.

Google is big enough to be considered a monopoly in mobile phone operating systems. Play Store is technically a separate service / business which enjoys unfair advantage of being installed by default. I think this approach might be good because it’s better for user experience (unlike EU web browser thing for example) and has a good shot at postiviely affecting power balance between app developers and platform owner.

I’m curious how this will play out. Apple should be next obviously.

What Nintendo are doing sucks but I don’t see them going after mods themselves. Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry hypothesises that shutdown of Switch emulators this late could mean they would be too much of a leg-up in building Switch 2 emulator. Nintendo, in their mind, didn’t have much choice. They don’t understand that piracy barely contributes to lost sales and benefits them in many other ways.

CERN is so huge they do a lot of non-core research so that they improve their tooling, academic processes etc. This is how we got World Wide Web for example.

I’m confused, what’s the topic?

They say it runs better but isn’t that because it hovers around 35 fps on PS4 and is locked to 30 on PS5 (as it should have been on PS4)? Some of comparisons are in the yikes territory though.

8GB is just too low and was too low in 2020. It gets shared with GPU and once you swap you decrease lifespan of a soldered SSD. It’s okay for light use but let’s not kid ourselves that even if it was passable in 2020 it would be enough for much longer.

It got bashed for low RAM by everyone except mainstream tech „reviewers”. Tech media are glorified advertisements these days so the only thing that happened between then and now is that they switched from selling you that new shiny M1 MacBook to selling you that new shiny OpenAI model.

I’m not going to bash M1 MacBook Air. It’s awesome, the CPU was ahead of time and I knew it would last me years. That’s why I got 16GB one.

That’s why there are less and less early adopters overall. Big tech cut the branch they were sitting on years ago and we’ve been in a free fall ever since.

Supposedly it just scratches „that itch” - mindless grind and loot cycle integrated into survivor-like formula. There are more games like it but HoT is also nailing aesthetics. Death Must Die is another game in similar vein but they also went one step further and copied upgrades from Hades too (this one I played myself). Both are enjoyable remixes on proven formulas and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Mine is ultra low voltage and I barely maintain it so this article gave me a bit of a scare. I’ll probably wipe it by the next reinstall anyway since it’s been nearly 10 years of Ubuntu LTS upgrades and it’s a mess (both what I’ve done to it and what Ubuntu has done to itself).

Security updates are usually provided for a long time even if in a trickle.

That’s still 2.5k fully saturated 400mbps connections. As far as I know this kind of approach wouldn’t work since you’d easily block them - you need craploads of bots all around the world for this to not be defeated by a smart firewall.
