- Comment on Does anyone else find HiFi Rush highly overrated? 1 day ago:
some people also dont realize, the guy who founded Tango, Shinji Mikami, had already left Tango to found a new company before the selling of the studio.
If anyone lived throught the 6th gen of consoles and earlier. Theyd recognize a lot of his works at capcom.

- Comment on Wuthering Waves now Steam Deck Playable, and works on Desktop Linux with one tweak 2 days ago:
being a gacha style game doesnt inherently have to be multiplayer.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a prime example of a game that has major gacha mechanics but is strictly single player. You collect core crystals and thr crystals rng into a blade, with a percent chance of unlocking a named rare blade that has a unique model/sub quests.
the difference in models of games like wuthering waves/genshin impact vs Xenoblade is that one is free to play, and tries to release more playable characters in order to entice players to pay (not required to, can be earned in game if you choose to) and the other is a 60$ game + DLC costs.

- Comment on So is Kingdom Hearts 3 _bad_ or just the normal cringe of Kingdom Hearts? 1 week ago:
its a ton of nomura minigames and disney attractions in combat which draw away from kingdom hearts imo.
i recommend disabling the disney attraction skills because they really detract from the combat

- Comment on How Nintendo locked down the Switch 2’s USB-C port and broke third-party docking 2 weeks ago:
I have the mindset that I buy one for the lowest firmware, because nintendo always has people trying to hack it (successfully). Nintendo has very low investment in actually trying to get a proper OS engineer design their OS security. Youd basically have to go as far back as the fucking virtual boy to look for something non exploitable, and thats just because no one bothered with it.
- Comment on My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN... 2 weeks ago:
if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.
of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.
- Comment on Folks not buying PCs from US vendors 'tariff' stockpiles 2 weeks ago:
Ai pcs are actually being bought. most of the pcs being used for local AI purposes are fully rammed out mac mini/studios or strix halo desktops, which are almost solely sold by smaller oems and are backed up.
most AI pcs arent the ones the large oems clamour about (basically unused NPUs, and to a lesser extent, nvidia based computers with high vram gpus)
the latter doesnt offer the vram required for the people who want to do in house Ai.

- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 3 weeks ago:
Nintendo hasn’t really C&D any of the previous decomps. they can for people who upload the whole precompiled executable, but none of them that requires actually ripping the original assets yourself to create the required game.
- Comment on Intel Confidential CPU? 4 weeks ago:
confidential cpus are typically engineering samples, usually given to motherboard companies to work on bioses for the cpu generation and meant to be returned to the company after done. engeering sample cpus can be missing features, lower clocks and such that the retail varient may have.
as for geneeation of cpu, its easier to find out via what motherboard socket it is
on thecontext of finding second hand, i wouldnt say its common, but can happen. some chinese companies sell dirt cheap ES cpus for basic computing.

- Comment on I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one. 1 month ago:
the first one has a standlone plot thats mostly disconnected witht eh latter two. 1’s gameplay was rough, but its a decent introductory on the world and the Geralt as a form of a mentor.
It’s visually a 3d action game, but plays like a top down ARPG(as it is an ARPG)
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 2 months ago:
basically what happens when you create and support a housing system whose goal is to make profit. doesnt matter if you yourself plan on living in it, people voted for the system that approved the nonsense of longterm profiteering of a basic need.
- Comment on PlayStation Executive Jade Raymond Leaves Studio She Founded 2 months ago:
i think the funniest part is ontop of bad acquisitions, Microsoft was only able to buy blizzard activision partially because sony had a history of making non PlayStation versions of games inferior to the PlayStation version.
had Sony actually played fair ball, none of this would have probably happened.

a handful of sandy/ivy bridge motherboards already had community made bios updates that enable said feature. I personally had it on a asus z77 matx pro board as well as a gigabyte h77 board (albeit ivy bridge, same platform)

- Comment on Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, $1.5 billion in cost reductions, expanded return to office mandate 2 months ago:
they didnt need upgrading because they sat mostly still till amd caught up.
they intentionally made the consumer platform stay with quad cores for over 8 generations till AMD came around with Ryzen Gen 1 to be remotely competitive.
theres a reason why 5% per generation was a joke for almost a decade.
- Comment on Slate, a no-nonsense EV pickup for $20k 2 months ago:

theres also the chance that at least for TTYD, that was a players choice version of the game, which retailed for 20$ new. since its 2006, on the wake of the Wii
