Nice, sounds like a day one purchase for me.
The man may have disappeared up his own arse for a decade, but he hasn’t made a bad game yet.

- Comment on Skyrim on Switch 2 ships with severe input lag and a huge 53GB file size despite being capped at 30FPS 2 days ago:
They really do have a habit of just barely making it work on every platform, no matter how powerful.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 3 days ago:
Can the HDMI standard not be implemented in hardware somehow, and then the open source software just talks to that hardware?
It seems ridiculous that you can make a device that works fine under HDMI 2.1 but you can’t access it with open source code.

I found the best way is coconut oil and a wok. Pops pretty much all of it, rarely burns any.
- Comment on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux 4 days ago:
VRR is very useful at these midrange specs though. Avoiding tearing and lurching down to 30fps is honestly the best upgrade I’ve made for my PC in years.

When you go shopping, and you notice the item you pick up for Sunday’s dinner goes out of date on Wednesday, do you buy it anyway, or reach to the back for the newer ones that go out of date next week?
- Comment on RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components 5 days ago:
I wouldn’t mind them all using HTML for UI if they’d learn to share the same one, and only load it when they need to show me something.
No, Razer, your “mouse driver” does not need to load Chrome at all times, when I’ll only ever look at it once.
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 6 days ago:
Hire enough staff that a few missing makes no difference to operations.
You’re a million dollar company. Act like it.
Also, pretty sure my company got sold for a lot more than that and we’re amateur as fuck.

Mine uses a pillow to keep them apart. I assume they fight at night.

- Comment on This song, it's infectious 6 days ago:
My missus insisted we watch it, and I found it aggressively mediocre.
My Spotify list was mostly Poppy and The Warning.

They do, they have like a daily article debunking shit.

Wait until this shit starts an actual war.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 1 week ago:
IIRC, most of the money they make is fees on the stores.

Less spending on credit cards to at least partially balance that or just full tilt debt spirals?
- Comment on AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone 1 week ago:
Reddit already ruined Reddit. The AI slop is just the broken glass in the turd.

The worst naming decision since Mole Station Nursery got a web domain with no hyphens.

- Comment on Why won’t Steam Machine support HDMI 2.1? Digging in on the display standard drama. 1 week ago:
I’ve not got one for testing right now. But some googling does seem to indicate this is a sticking point for gaming, and why GPU makers put the latest HDMI ports on their cards and ponied up the licensing fees.

With VRR?
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 1 week ago:
I’m going to guess at comfortably 3 times the price of the Quest 3S.
They might surprise us, but in this economy, I doubt it.

That photo of RFK having to hold a Big Mac is still the funniest thing out of this government.
- Comment on I fall for it every year. Every. Year. 1 week ago:
Pretty sure it’s mostly so 12 year old boys can go there together and eat slop that doesn’t taste of anything and feel like a grown up for an hour.
It used to actually be fast food that I can see the appeal of if you’re in a hurry, but now it’s just poor quality slow food.

Except it’s not on any TVs.
- Comment on Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline 1 week ago:
Had a kill command actually been sent, or does the device just not work without a remote server talking to it every so often?
Because the second one is probably worse from a “what if this company goes bust” standpoint.
- Comment on In 1995, a Netscape employee wrote a hack in 10 days that now runs the Internet 1 week ago:
Or at least all the browsers agree to implement something nicer as a standard.

Been doing that for years. Unless you think everyone got magically more fascist out of nothing.
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 1 week ago:
They are killing it, but sadly they’re about the only ones keeping it alive, at least at an affordable price.
I wish VR was a commodity product, like TVs. Everything compatible with everything.

Pretty life-like tbh
