You can actually shoot them in this one, but I’d recommend throwing at least a little bit of piss and shit first. Manners cost nothing.

I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.

There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.

They’re kind of small enough that if I want a PDF, I can just google it and download it from some random foreign university who are hosting it for some reason. You’d likely struggle to find more obscure stuff that way though.

Did you never play Fall Guys on PC?

The better ones tend to be about on par with older “not quite gamer tier” cards like the GTX 1650.

720p is fine on a handheld, but it’s going to look pretty rough on a TV.

Bullshitted pixels per second seem to be the new currency.

It may look smooth in videos, but 30fps upframed(?) to 120fps will still feel like a 30fps game.

Modern TVs do the same shit, and it both looks and feels like ass. And not good ass.

Runs FFXIV at 1440p.

Runs HL Alyx on my Rift.

Runs everything prior to this gen.

If I need to run a more modern game, I’ll use my PS5.

Still on a 1060 over here.

Sure, I may have to limit FFXIV to 30fps in summer to stop it crashing, but it still runs.

Or Bayonetta.

Yoku’s Island Express has more than that but I don’t see it mentioned much so I’ll recommend it anyway.

I think it mostly comes down to sharing stuff with others.

There’s a lot of stuff in Jellyfin you wouldn’t want to expose to the internet.

No idea if Jellyfin even has a client for my dad’s shonky old 4K TV, but I certainly wouldn’t be able to set up Wireguard or anything on it.

It sounds a lot like what the GPU driver providers used to do (and probably still do, despite all DX12 and Vulkan’s promises of making that unnecessary) on top of making the drivers.

And that is basically “fixing badly written games so they perform well on the hardware”.

As far as I can tell, Intel has been using Proton’s fixes DXVK to get their drivers working on older games on Windows

If Xbox Series S would have run all my Steam games, I’d have bought one in a heartbeat.

It is, but the looks weren’t one of them IMO.

I’d wager they could cut a lot of cruft from a handheld gaming device specific version of Windows.

I bet Antimalware Service Executable is still randomly springing it’s way to the top of task manager in this build. All sorts of crap that just doesn’t need to be running. On my PC right now I can see Service Host: DNS Client at 1-4% all the fucking time. Random driver update checks that run in fucking Electron for some godforsaken reason. That kind of shit.

Probably this. Especially on low end hardware that doesn’t really have a lot of background resources to give.

Just open task manager and see all the shit windows thinks is essential to run all the time. Scanning the drive for viruses, downloading updates for shit you’ve never even looked at…

I don’t know how Randy manages it.

There’s so much competition these days, yet somehow his crack team of developers manage to keep him at number one in the list of “Biggest Cunts in Gaming”.

It’s honestly impressive. I had no intention of buying this because I think his games are all wank, but fuck him anyway.

Yeah, because they were too cheap before. Unsustainable really.

I would willingly sell my house and all it’s contents for the glorious bullshitted pixels per second count that nVidia GPUs provide.

Reminder that supporting a single GPU is a lot simpler than supporting all of them…

You know what would have made this a non-issue?

Easily user replaceable batteries.

On top of that we should have standard sizes and mandate that manufacturers use them.
