- entropicdrifterThat wasn't the real twist, the real twist is that it was all an allegory for the Manhattan Project
- On the other hand, Valve has built a compatibility layer for ARM Linux to run Android APKs, so if anyone could make a jank-free Linux phone it would be them
- >and the dedicated user buys most of their games on Steam anyways because it's the dominant distribution platform.
It's also the most convenient by far, and the new Steam Family stuff lets you share all of your games with all of your siblings without any need for password sharing like you'd have to on e.g. GoG or Epic. I have 4 siblings and most of us are married. Our combined Steam library is well over 1000 games
- Likewise, the PS5 has absolutely dominated the Xbox's current generation in terms of sales in large part due to exclusives. Xbox Series S is far cheaper than a PS5, mind you.
What platform has more exclusives than PC?
- While this is generally true, tire wear is known to be generally faster on EVs due to their weight and instantaneous torque when accelerating.
Which, as an EV owner, feels like an "oh no, my steak is too buttery" kind of problem to have.
- It's also a governmental problem. Remember that Vance is functionally owned by Thiel, who also backed Trump's campaign.
So, the issue is really just that he has far too much power, as an individual
- You're one of today's lucky 10,000. It was huge news at the time. The FTC considered not allowing it and the acquisition got delayed for months while back and forth public debate raged.
- Shoutout to Firefox for Android for being the only mobile browser of note that lets you use uBlock Origin
- Perhaps most notably, the "What is a man?" scene was completely retranslated
- Especially FSR 2 and its subsequent iterations. The motion vectors let them basically do TAA on the upscaled image.
- Asahi Linux is Linux specifically made to run on the M-series Mac hardware, so if that's not a Mac version of Linux, what is?
- You can add packages, but they can be wiped by the updates. Flatpaks work seamlessly and because of the Deck's popularity, most everything you would want is available in flatpak form
- Or endorse Heroic, which works better than their launcher anyhow, even on Windows
- Xenia's usable these days. Worse than RPCS3, but usable
- That depends on the specifics of the encode/decode pipeline for the streamed frames. Could be the blurry part actually is lower res and lower bitrate until it's decoded, then upscaled and put together with the high res part. I'm not saying they do that, but it's an option.
- Pretty funny to me that you're backseat engineering Valve on this one. If it didn't have a net benefit they wouldn't have announced it as a feature yet lmao
- I'm personally quite hyped to see the first commercially available Linux-based standalone VR headset announced. This thing is quite a bit lighter than any of the existing "cram a computer in" solutions.
- Certified Audio Engineer here. The Loudness Wars more or less ended over the last decade or so due to music streaming services using loudness normalization (they effectively measure what each recording's true average volume is and adjust them all up or down on an invisible volume knob to have the same average)
Because of this it generally makes more sense these days to just make your music have an appropriate dynamic range for the content/intended usage. Some stuff still gets slammed with compression/limiters, but it's mostly club music from what I can tell.
- But we do want that, right? We want people in the future with their unknowable future digital-experience-providing devices to be able to experience the video games of the past/today, right?
So in the interest of making older games future compatible we (those interested in preservation) do need to pursue those things.
How else can we guarantee they'll run on future devices? Emulators are one good way to make things run on newer devices, but emulators will in turn need the features to be able to run on 4K/8K screens, XR devices, etc.
