Define “fine”.
If your standard is 30fps, not particularly good latency, and 1.5hr battery life then yes, they’re fine.
If your standard is 60 fps and >3hr battery, then no, they are not fine.
My preference is stable 60fps and >3hr battery, and I have yet to see a 3D game do that well

Agreed. Death Note is a thiller series, not horror
- Comment on [Discussion] The 20 Scariest Horror Anime of All Time 1 week ago:
Almost none of these are horror anime, and it’s largely a copy/paste of big-name anime over the years. Who the hell thinks Hellsing is a horror anime? Or Akira? Or Berserk? There’s nothing scary in them, they’re just action anime.
Where’s Mieruko-chan? Or Happy Sugar Life? Those are legit horror anime.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 1 week ago:
While I love my Steam Deck, I always give the caveat that it’s best for 2D-rendered games. While it can run 3D games, it doesn’t do it particularly well and has terrible battery life while doing so. Meanwhile every 2D game gets great performance and 3-4 hours of battery even on the oldest Steam Decks, and that’s not going to change anytime soon

I’ve installed on a separate SSD.
Thankfully that should prevent most issues of Windows fucking up dual-booting

Try watching One Pace, it’s a fan edit of the series that gets rid of filler and stretched scenes. It ends up reducing the overall runtime by 40% and keeps the quality up

I.e. Gamepass
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Hosting servers isn’t free.
And it’s game devs that pay for the multiplayer server upkeep, not the storefronts.
And I highly doubt that any money spent on XBox Live or PSN subscriptions was ever sent their way.
This is just flimsy defense for greed

- Comment on Has anyone bought from Save My Server before? 2 weeks ago:
Unless you know the hours on a drive, you might get brand new ones, or you might get ones with 50k hours on them. They may also be from the same batch, which isn’t ideal for data durability.
If it helps, my strategy is to use RAID6 to handle up to 2 drive failures, and apart from the initial 4 drives needed to initially create the array, I just add another when I need more space. Then even if I get drives with sequential serial numbers, they’re going to have differing amount of life used.
Also, always keep a couple spare drives for quick swapping. Especially with RAID6 given how long rebuilding the array can take
- Comment on Has anyone bought from Save My Server before? 2 weeks ago:
Thank you for the feedback
What are you considering buying?
Mainly just the HDD’s. I already have a server, but having a bunch of extra drives for cheap is really tempting, especially since I haven’t filled out all of the bays

The original DS released almost 21 years ago. Because of that, the patent is now in the public domain, hence why products like this can be sold now

TBF, the dude has made millions off the game, and he doesn’t make the updates paid dlc. He just keeps adding to SDV because he loves it

but Wikipedia does say that the Deck has HDMI out
No, it has USB 3.0 type-C that’s capable of video output

The patent troll you’re referring to is SCUD (fuck those guys and fuck their owners, Corsair).
Thankfully, Valve won the appeal in their lawsuit a few years back and the patent is no longer valid. Unfortunately, the damage was already done
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 weeks ago:
It also raises levels of LDL cholesterol, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
This is completely ignoring that there’s multiple varieties of LDL cholesterol, some of which are benign. And basic blood draws don’t differentiate them, you need more detailed blood tests.
They are also low in dietary fiber, possibly causing constipation.
Dietary fiber is not an essential nutrient. Not only that, when I went carnivore for 2 months, after the first week of acclimation I was more regular than I have ever been in my life.
A carnivore diet high in red meat increases the risks of colon cancer and gout.
The study referenced is an epidiological study based on surveys of people that were asked to recall what they’ve eaten for the past 30 years. This resulted in clearly erroneous data where average daily calory intake was wildly off from average human requirements.
And you’re not supposed to draw conclusions from epidemiological studies with results lower than a 100% risk increase (aka doubling risk). The result of this study was 18%.
At best, this study should have been used to propose a more focussed double-blind study on the subject. But they didn’t. The WHO should be ashamed for platforming this trash study as if it’s 6-sigma physics results
The high protein intake of a carnivore diet can lead to impaired kidney function
The amount of protein that you’d need to eat to make this a problem is far beyond what a normal human could eat in a day. You’d die from rabbit starvation before it’d get that far. This study is like the one rat study claiming that asperthame causes cancer, but they were giving the rats 1000x the dose a normal human would consume if you corrected for body weight.

- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 4 weeks ago:
With a cloud-based solution you still have the issue of who owns what, plus the logistics of shuffling around data if things go tits up. In addition, we already don’t want to pay $10/month for 6 months to run a game server that’s only used for 1 month

Or implying that their behavior reflects poorly on the entire blahaj community
That user is a different person from the first one that responded.
The blahaj user’s only contribution to the conversation was that snarky comment, and I brought it up because I’ve noticed a few users from that instance do that this past week, and not just to me. Like I said, I expect that behavior from hexbear, as blahaj users are usually nice to interact with

This is huge Bro energy with little understanding of AI and they are fully on the hype train.
Aparently one of the companies that made the purchase is owned by Jared Kushner. You’re probably spot on with that assessment

You can front any three un-clustered nodes with a load balancer to the same effect
Good to hear. Are there specific example you could point me to? I’d like to learn more
- Comment on How to set up a decentralized game/chat server 4 weeks ago:
I do find it a little odd that you’re so concerned about uptime with a casual gaming server, but to each their own.
Personally, part of it is that I don’t want everything to be solely dependent on a box I own. I don’t like the idea of lording a petty fiefdom over my friends. If there’s multiple distributed boxes that are technically equal, then there’s less potential for interpersonal friction.
Also, while I have the more powerful server, I also have very little free time. If my box stops working for whatever reason, I don’t want my friends to have to wait 1-2 weeks for me to fix it
