Depends if Valve also require disclosure if “frame-generation” was used in the benchmark.

Very easy to claim a game runs at 4K 60fps when it’s actually 720p 30fps with blurry up-scaled frames in-between.

I stopped being a fan of Mutahar a while back…but am I really the only person who noted the uploaded date?

It fixed the lag spikes I experienced playing some of the older Call of Duty titles so it’s overall been a huge upgrade for me.

As a newer Linux user I didn’t really give a shit about SystemD until recent news and just learning Poettering’s whole attitude towards Linux in general.

Was going to wait for EndeavourOS to give a statement on age verification, but if it’s going to be implemented as deep as the init system anyway. I should just try Artix so I don’t have the worry at all.

It’s interesting to look at mobile games nowadays realizing that smartphones have been more powerful than 7th gen consoles for more than a decade now.

I’ve heard both straight and gay people say they wouldn’t date a bisexual because they don’t trust them not to sleep with someone else of another gender…

Great…

So how’s Heroic for playing older PC games installed from discs?

I would say I would never spend that much, but then I remember my £1000 Desktop I mainly use for playing old games…

I’m far from an expert, but Ui design as a job seems to have a huge flaw were if you eventually make the “perfect Ui” you’re suddenly out of a job.

So you’re straight up punished for doing your job well and the only way to maintain a career is to just re-invent the wheel every so often and chase the trends of others doing the same thing so your Ui designs don’t look “outdated”

No clue, Think it’s one of those ‘Worked well enough in the past’ things they just never bothered to re-work.

I personally wish they would update it to be more globally accurate but it’s Valve so.

It’s due to how Valve conducts these surveys. Rather than pulling from the entire user pool at once, they rotate between different chunks of the userbase every month.

You’ll notice this if you look at the system language stats, The Chinese speaking population jumps and falls by a rather large percent every month.

This also could explain why Windows 10 had another jump in users this month, From what I hear internet cafes are still a popular way to game in China. and I doubt many of these places have updated all their machines to Windows 11 yet.

Purple Arch has yet to fail me.

Barely counts as retro but I have a friend who’s had the in-game ringtone from Saints Row the Third as their real life ringtone for over a decade now.

Always funny when someone new hears it for the first time and asks about it.

Bought 60TB around the same time. Think I’m living easy for a while.

I heard way back when that overclocking mice wasn’t too unheard of around some competitive Quake players. But this was when mice were still mainly using 100 to 250hz polling rate.

Think most big brand mice and certainly any half decent gaming mouse will be 1000hz nowadays. But people will always want bigger and faster which you see now with some 4000/8000hz peripherals popping up.

My grandmother owned a PS1 which was the first console I ever played on as a kid.

But it was also the last console she ever owned and she said it was because of the move to thumbsticks made her gave up on gaming. Kinda sad…

Honestly the skill level for Arch is kinda overblown nowadays.

You can use Archinstall and get a full desktop and a pretty hands off experience if you don’t go around tweaking any lower level system stuff.

And if you’re extra lazy (like me) Endeavour or Cachy makes the minimal setup even more streamlined with good default settings. But you still get the AUR and fast updates, which I assume it what the average user wants more than complete control over how their system is setup.

Social media turning every hobby into a “hustle”

“Retro, Vintage” old stuff in general is trendy right now. And people saw this and bought up as much cheap stock as they could and raised the prices to insane levels because all the cheap stock is now own by them…

That’s a very oversimplified explanation but it’s affected more than just retro consoles.

Minimal requirements for Linux: Linux Kernal (optional)
