  okay so from what ive searched up, hdmi standard was a collaberation between hitachi, panasonic, maxell, philips, silicon image, sony, vantiva, and toshiba. Furthermore it “won” the support from a lot of entertainment companies like universal, warner, and disney.

  ;_; so basically, even though they came together to make a universal system, they spent money on it and therefore need to make the most out of it. All other manufacturers just follow along.

  This is the initial vibes I got but then again I might be bias because I’m already familiar with steam. Honestly, it might be better if valve added 2 to the end of their products. For example, The nothing phone company tried to do something “unique” with their earbuds but all that did was confuse the shit out of people. I think they reverted back to numbering them.

  But then on the flip side, sony is infamously known to name all their products with a shit load of numbers… so tbh this can go either way lmao

  oh im pretty sure this purely market competiton, not between the two ports but between manufactures.

  like if you want to compete with a company (ex.sony) who is making x tv with hdmi, ideally you want a similar product available that has the same ports. The goal is to sell into peoples already existing ecosystem and sadly its hdmi dominant.

  one time when I was presenting in class, my laptop only had displayport and I just stood there like a dumbass waiting for my files to be avail on a donor pc. Is dp superior? yeah, but the whole world is hdmi :[

  Maybe its the norm in the gaming community like what the heck is a “NEW” nintendo 3ds lol. At this point everyone needs to fire their marketing team.

  then again i think xbox is doing alright with their crazy similar names.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to think of a scenario where someone would think twice about purchasing a steam machine just because a product from 10 years ago bombed in sales.

  This would require them to ignore the recent success of the steam deck… which is basically impossible.

  Therefore, I have doubts that the name alone would have ANY direct impact on sales.

  i recently purchased a 8bitdo controller and just want to mention that although it’s an amazing controller, I did have trouble getting the software to work in order to rebind buttons. just a heads up!

  Other than that, great controller, feels nice, most of them are cheaper than official xbox or ps controller, happy with my purchase

  if we going by quantity, I think 2007 was the most stacked, like omg the amount of hype for these games at the cafeteria lunch table was insane. www.imdb.com/list/ls087306278

  it honestly feels weird hearing people call these games “classics” xd I am NOT ready for this!

  oh man I think there is a video somewhere on youtube where the dev talks about Lara’s “growth” from the first game to the third like lmfao I think this was intentional.

  If I remember correctly (from my mom who grew up in Taiwan) asus, acer, and msi(?) used to be one giant company that was split into three. so it doesnt really surprise me that their design teams share some cringe similarities ( okay i mean like ik this split was a long time ago but like they all do the same thing).

  i always thought rog (republic of gamers) was just a play on roc (republic of china aka taiwan). Im just waiting for gigabyte to come out with peoples republic of gamers

  I don’t know what to ask specifically but can you talk more about the project or like anything cool that isn’t mentioned in the article? I’m an undergrad at a U.S. Uni and we have a supercomputer(cluster I think?) but everything is new to me and I would like to learn more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont play a lot of chess and I’m bad at it but I recommend playing chess puzzles or timed chess. If it helps, just think of it as a mini skermish on one area of the “map”.

  While there is competitive chess, I think the advantage it has over most things is that many people know how to play and that most of the time its a casual background game. Like you aren’t trying to win, you are trying to not lose.

  When someone is playing at a house party, it’s so much fun to make wierd faces after they played a move or so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unlike in movies, most smart people aren't good in chess.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… everytime I see it in movies I kinda cringe. However it still is an effective narrative tool to say that the person is a stategist or is in a higher tax bracket ( or honestly any quality that the common viewer doesn’t have). Even so, I wish writers would stop doing this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I apologize if my recommendations are not what you are looking for but have you tried:

  Disco Elysium? Cuz that game blew my fucking mind. I voice acting and characters are superb.

  Signalis. Its such a lovely artsy game thats like resident evil but more story driven imo (less survival).

  I love poe2 with wasd movement. I beg you to try it out. It was something i was hesitant at first but now I wish all arpg’s had this feature.

  Kenshi is also a great option but I don’t think its for everyone. Still recommend it though cuz the world is very mysterious in first playthrough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I stroking it in my sleep?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might have a stupid answer but like what I’m thinking (I’m 100% just guessing) is that you still kinda move around ( like rolling from side to side or scratching your ass ) when you sleep. So therefore, maybe your brain is probably somewhat active - like you are doing more than just subconsiously breathing and sleeping like a dead body. Thennnnn, maybe you are stroking it or maybe its just your brain sending signals to your thingy with out you stroking it. Maybe it’s all in your head.

  However, if you’re pumping it then I am sure you would notice it and wake up. Im saying all this because I recently had a dream where I was in a fight and i literally kicked the wall next to my bed as hard as I could. IT FUCKING HURT. I aimed for his neck…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  android user now but basically… it might be that most of us Americans try to take the path of least resistance or whatever doesn’t give us headaches. I mean like, almost everything we do (except taxes) are pretty simplified. And even for taxes, we can LITERALLY pay for services to simplify or do it for us ( like wtf, this is kinda stupid). Apple does a good job of making it an easy experience.

  1. easy to use - like an automatic car vs manual car.

  2. popular apps just work - I don’t think its a problem now but I remember when some social media apps were just broken on android vs iphone.

  3. a lot of the software looks pretty clean and fancy. Gives it a polished experience.

  4. HARD TO LEAVE - Apple products work better with other apple products. Once you leave, you basically lose out on all the purchases you’ve made over the years.

  5. Apple store support - life saver for most people

  Hell, trying to adjust from typing with iphone keyboard to android keyboard took longer than expected.

  Also our government issues out iphones for fed employees.
