  I mean you joke, but the earth does bulge in the center a little

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UZDoom the successor to GZDoom has a first proper release out now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doom still has a massive community for custom maps and mods, entire games have been made using gzdoom as an engine. Myhouse.wad made the goty list on IGN back in 2023. Safe to say yes, people do play these a lot.

  I have to say I take issue with the idea of something being objectively worse, that’s not how objectively works. Objective is a statement like “doom came out over 30 years ago”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It kind of bothers me that people are putting the responsibility on valve for this, when the companies themselves have purposefully not enabled compatibility in most cases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft says Copilot will 'finish your code before you finish your coffee' adding fuel to the Windows 11 AI controversy that's still raging⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe after windows 8? Last time I can remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be permissions of whichever environment you’re running the sh in? Or potentially it wants that exact version, I’m only mildly competent at Linux at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For sure, but those are all individually rebuilt from the ground up for that purpose of running on an arm chip. I can’t run my favourite games from 2008 on my phone, or a weird indie niche title. With technology like this, you probably could, and quite easily if done right.

  It’s not just about the games either, it’s a good step towards making all programs somewhat hardware agnostic. The ARM x86 septation was pretty much set in concrete up until now, it’s a crazy advancement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? It’s a huge bridge between x86 and ARM, it just opened up a potentially huge market for lower power consumption gaming devices. You could have like a Gameboy that runs silksong or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve says it’s still waiting for better chips to power Steam Deck 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just thinking that, some phones are pretty beefy, there’s no reason to not do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah installed it a few days ago, super easy. It comes with a Linux/steam deck install guide.

  Look up wheel slipping, I assure you they can do burnouts and the amount of power behind them is scary AF haha

  I kept reading stairs but yeah both I guess

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which year was the most stacked for game releases?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ditto this, 2007 was a fucking crazy year. All that next gen hit at once, people still taking risks on unique ideas. Nowadays you only see that kind of stuff from the indie scene, though they’ve been doing a great job with it IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Digital ownership must be respected’: UK parliament debates Stop Killing Games campaign, but government doesn’t budge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Such a brain-dead stance on the matter. Nobody is asking for your garbage DRM servers, we literally want the opposite of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna be that guy, most of them are in some way or another. The devs literally decided to not bother pressing the button that enables compatibility because they don’t feel like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Australia, yes we have regular Santa’s for the most part. Occasionally you’ll get Santa in shorts or whatever, but generally it’ll be the regular outfit. Santa coincidentally only shows up for a few minutes sometimes, then is called away on urgent business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In Disco Elysium the game straight up called me out for apologising so much. It hit me so hard I stopped apologising as much irl. 10/10 game would be ashamed again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  LLMs are a really cool toy, I would lose my shit over them if they weren’t a catalyst for the whole of western society having an oopsie economic crash moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but wouldn’t we be using % of your vision vs pixels in display? Steam deck being right in front of my face and tv 5 or 6 metres away etc.

  Absolutely higher res does look sharper though, which is great for movies etc. I’m more coming from a performance vs visual fidelity ratio. What I’m trying to express is that given 800p still looks surprisingly good, I’m starting to question the industry pushing higher resolution displays for gaming applications.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, good luck with it. Just had to figure out that a drive from a windows install was causing huge permissions issues and any game installed on it wasn’t executing. Sometimes the problems can be really obtuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You know about protondb already? Gives a good list of potential fixes if you come across issues, it’s been a godsend on the rare occasions something doesn’t work first try

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly after using the steam deck (800p) I’m starting to wonder if res matters that much. Like I can definitely see the difference, but it’s not that big a deal? All I feel like I got out of my 4k monitor is lower frame rates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s really fucking weird for this article to not be pointed at Millennials. Not better, kind of worse actually, and very weird. Poor bastards have it worse than we did and they’re starting to become the punching bag for no reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bounced off voices of the void the first time, couldn’t get through the tutorial. Had a friend recommend it again, have done multiple play thoughs and is now any favourite vibes game.

  Great set piece, mildly irritating execution

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like given the amount of work required to make the kind of games that triple a represents, and the amount of money in and out, every game becomes a mess of different ideas and motivations with no unifying force. Every game must be everything to justify the price tag, but there’s no unifying passion or vision behind it. Of course the more you stuff in there, the more you can market it as well.

  Chewing ice as well, supposedly it is motivated by iron deficiency.
