  My favorite puzzle game of all, but it’s not really Tetris.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rage (Xbox360)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I’m concerned, RAGE is a modern game. It even looks and plays like a modern game, so it can’t really be retro.

  Weird, the K4’s latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.

  Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updated to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.

  AFAIK they’re large chips though, and larger generally is more performance but also much more expensive to manufacture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t adding a bunch of extra features to an ARM CPU make it become less power efficient and more like x86?

  I’ve heard that ARM isn’t inherently more power efficient in some special way over x86, x86 has just been around so long and has had so many extra instructions added to it over the years, but that’s what allows it to do so much / be so performant. If you took an ARM CPU and did the same you’d have roughly the same performance/watt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  One way around it is just to say “I’m from the US”. I know it’s not quite what you asked but based on what everyone else has said about why we’re simply “Americans” then I suggest this as an alternative. Also like they said, referring to yourself by state of residence works too, for instance “Texan” or “Californian” since they’re basically just as well known as the US itself at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magnetism only feels like magic, because we don't have biological sensors for it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t have sensors to directly sense a single magnetic field, but if you’ve played with magnets a lot, you can definitely “feel” how their forces work and develop kind of an intuitive physical sense.

  Perhaps a good example/analogy of something we can feel and understand somewhat intuitively but actually do not scientifically understand is gravity. You can definitely feel its effects / force, even though you don’t have a specific gravitational field sensor in your body per say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NVidia DLSS 3.5 dlls are available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam Deck is also only an 800p screen, so using DLSS/FSR will render the game even lower than that. Basically the upscaling just works better at higher resolutions since it has more data to use.
