- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 1 year ago:
So a headphone cable?
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 1 year ago:
Mini is fine. Micro is very close to being symmetrical that it might as well be. For cables that small, reversible is the way to go.
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 1 year ago:
It’s not an issue of not being reversible. The problem is that it is symmetrical without being reversible. HDMI and DisplayPort are much less annoying. Even USB Type B (printer cables) is relatively easy to figure out orientation for.
- Comment on [Survey] Can you tell which images are AI generated? 1 year ago:
8/20. I am pretty good on photorealistic images, but the random drawings… honestly a lot of the ones by people I tagged as AI generated because i thought they kinda sucked.
- Comment on Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’ 1 year ago:
Bad people doing bad things is nothing new.
But these things allow good, otherwise well-intentioned, people, to become unwitting moles for Meta.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
Ya it seems to load much faster on a PC. 1-3 seconds on a PCIE 4X4 drive.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
I agree that 76 sucked. SF is pretty great though.
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 1 year ago:
I’m considering moving my PC to the living room for this exact reason.
- Comment on Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' 1 year ago:
It’s perfectly optimized. I’m getting a rock solid 30fps. /s
- Comment on ChatGPT is losing some of its hype, as traffic falls for the third month in a row 1 year ago:
He looks like the Change My Mind meme guy.
- Comment on Starfield players create famous faces in-game, and a Todd Howard flashlight 1 year ago:
Pretty sure it said that one was fake.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
In my defense, I preordered it after it came out.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
Even on systems with significant memory, a slow drive will create lag in RC. Moreover, RC is doing this while also having very high graphical fidelity overall, including ray tracing, which is quite memory intensive. It’s not possible without Direct storage and reasonably fast SSDs.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
Look at Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. They have completely seamless transitions between entire dimensions. They use Direct Storage, which is a Microsoft API. It’s not a good look when a Sony studio is able to achieve seamless transitions on a Windows game but a Microsoft game can’t.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
To me Mass Effect 1-3 felt more cohesive in space, because it was always clear how much you could do, whereas in SF it looks exactly like you’re in NMS, but you can’t do NMS things.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
They specifically said there were going to be loading screens and no user driven landings. I agree with not preordering games, but I also think you need to actually look at what the dev is saying before you set your expectations.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
It’s pretty good. I’m not super into fantasy so I think I prefer the story so far over TES. I do like a sideish plot I’m in to join a faction and potentially betray another faction.
I am running on a 3080 with no real hiccups. I get 40-80fps. It’s higher indoors and on the blower side in cities. This is on Ultra with resolution scaling at 77% at 4K, which is slightly above the Ultra preset.
There are loading screens when you take off and land or enter certain areas. They’re annoying, but usually just 1-2 seconds. I do wish they optimized this more.
Combat is decent. It’s not the best shooter in history but it generally works okay. Space combat is again just okay. Kind of simplistic relative to something like Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen.
- Comment on Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic) 1 year ago:
I feel the opposite. Everyone wants to be the first to dunk on a popular game. That gets you more clicks than just another 9/10.
- Comment on Gamers nexus on LTT 1 year ago:
Right. And that’s what Linus lead with.
- Comment on Gamers nexus on LTT 1 year ago:
I get vibes of Top Gear reviewing the Tesla roadster.
- Comment on Gamers nexus on LTT 1 year ago:
As if “sold at a charity auction” isn’t an incredibly common and normal phrase. Linus is grasping.
- Comment on Gamers nexus on LTT 1 year ago:
Rules for thee, not for me.
Linus is a massive narcissist. He literally thinks he’s special.
- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 1 year ago:
Tearaway Unfolded on PS 4/5.
- Comment on I eat my flavor packets *with* the skin, and you can't stop me 1 year ago:
If I get spicy ramen, I definitely keep it skin on. It passes right through me but I get all the nutrition.
- Comment on Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here. 1 year ago:
Not sure what you’re talking about. Right wing minorities have also tried to steal elections. Trump is going to be indicted within a couple days for trying to use fake electors. It actually lines up perfectly.
- Comment on Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time 1 year ago:
Joining lemmy.world is a very straightforward replacement for reddit. “Join Lemmy.World” is a much more effective message than “do some research about various instances, register with one that federates with other instances you find interesting, and subscribe to specific communities by searching for them”.
