thanks!

real personal computer station 3!

oh right 😅

the Playstation 3 emulator project RPCS3. I’m not sure what the initialism stands for but it’s an impressive feat in and of itself.

Little Big Planet! (presumably)

well that’s enough internet for today

also tell them pspspsps

there’s a level of irony to omitting the artist’s wordmark on an “i made this” meme comic lol

appreciate your input 🥰

little muffin 🥰

It’s just a really odd comic series in general.

I’m wondering if much of the humour is lost in translation (I think it’s Spanish?) or something because they’re genuinely just not all that funny.

agreed

I suppose I might be taking the general consensus for granted here, especially around fallout 4s launch window. I played the hell out of it myself and walked away pretty disappointed.

4 had a much more streamlined approach to ‘3D fallout’ likening it more to an action adventure game rather than RPG. Many of 3 and NVs more RPG styled mechanics were pared back quite a lot.

several examples are limitless skills (not having to define a build), limited dialogue options due to the player character being VA’d, item degradation being removed (I think?), VATS being reworked to fit better with this paradigm shift, and I feel as if I could say with some level of objectivity that endings in 4 pale in comparison to the breath of outcomes you can achieve in NV.

If you like action adventure games in a post apocalyptic setting then 4 is a good time. If you like an RPG in the same setting then 4 is kind of shit?

…save for being an actual fallout game with an actual story with actual consequences sure.

i won’t dismiss the cruft and bugginess of the older iteration of gamebryo / creation engine but if you care about the original series, nv has much more to offer you. would be cool if nv could be forward ported to, for example, starfields engine, though it’s not like that isn’t without its limitations either.

Seems pretty perf intensive for present hardware. Wonder how it will influence later designs, presume more area would go towards accelerating this.

I see, appreciate the context!

can someone explain the AI references i keep seeing in the pet related communities?

the best way to improve fallout 4 is to play new vegas instead

appreciate you 😊

I think that could work well. looking forward to more diversity in compute in the future! 😊

That’s fine, it’s an emerging ISA, as with any, it takes some time before perf and sw compatibility reach a good spot.

I think the key novelty to rv especially compared to x86_64 and arm is that there are no licencing restrictions: anyone is free to design and produce products based on that ISA, making more viable for vendors to more easily provide in-house silicon solutions. It’s already become fairly popular in lower power devices, like for IoT and wearables. My smart soldering iron uses a little 32 bit RISC V CPU and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s found some use in automotive, particularly in China.

As we alluded to above, there are several designs available for more general use, and you may find that they handle your compute needs fairly well already, but they won’t be within striking distance of other ISAs if high performance is a requirement.

compat wise I think many packages are now available for rv specifically or as .noarch.

perf wise, I think we’re still a ways off, we’re not seeing rv SoCs at the same level of perf / efficiency as arm, and whilst that’s just a matter of time, I’m not sure you’ll have many compelling offerings even a couple years from now, though potentially in 2030?

you can check in with experiences using devices like the PineTab V or even the custom RV mainboard for the Framework 13. There are also several SoCs produced by SiFive on SBCs, some are card sized, some are mATX. These are primarily positioned as development devices, but they may give you some idea of what things are like right now
