- Comment on Nearly 5 years in, PS5 sales remain neck-and-neck with PS4 | VGC 17 hours ago:
Just remember that GTAV’s performance on PS3/Xbox360 is about how well GTAVI is likely going to run on PS5/Xbox Series X.
We’ve got a few years until the PC release as PS6 is coming.

- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 3 days ago:
That and probably since V1 switches are softmoddable forever.
‘Bricking’ seems to be hyperbole from the author though, I’d wager they’re doing the same online bans as Switch1. However as Game Key carts are going to be a big thing now- with no eShop access those Game Key carts might not work if you don’t have the game downloaded already. (or possibly might not work at all)
That would render the device unusable if you only had Game Key Carts and/or digital purchases, you’d not really be able to use the console at all.

The latter is also how Microsoft and Sony handle it.
You go online with a modded console? Console ID gets banned and you can’t ever access online services of any kind with that console.

They’re being snarky, but the PSX game is different to game released on PC.
- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 4 days ago:
There is just so much potential… squandered.
Silly example- why are there elevators and LOADING SCREENS in New Atlantis - if you have enough jetpack or just abuse TCL, you can walk around the entirety of New Atlantis, without a single loading screen.
But for some reason Bethesda decided it needed some loading screens for no good reason whatsoever.

- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 1 week ago:
Trump is the cause of it, just last term.
Very long story short- Trump crashing oil prices in 2016/2017 more or less ‘killed’ GlobalFoundries and which left TSMC as the only leading edge pureplay foundry. (Intel isn’t pureplay, Samsung is no longer chasing leading edge)
Trump caused the chip shortage.
- Comment on Chips aren’t improving like they used to, and it’s killing game console price cuts 1 week ago:
It’s almost like it’s a running theme…
OG Xbox - never gets a price cut and is discontinued almost immediately after 360 releases, with an AMD GPU from which MS never looked back at nVidia
PS3 - Only got small price cuts very late, discontinued almost immediately after PS4 release, with an AMD GPU from which Sony never looked back at nVidia
Switch - never got a real price cut either (though Switch2 is also an nVidia SoC)

- Comment on Game preservationists say Switch 2 Game-Key Cards are ‘disheartening’ but inevitable 1 week ago:
Nintendo also sells all their games digital and you can’t transfer those.
Yet.
They’ve advertised Virtual Game Cards as a value-added feature to let your friends borrow games, but I’d bet good money they built out that infrastructure to comply with the potential for the EU to require used sales on digital.

Didn’t they already announce during the Switch2 direct that it releasing alongside the Switch 2?

- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 2 weeks ago:
NFS seems a poor choice for mobile when simply losing the link will cause end user troubles.
I hard dropped it years ago when a momentarily dropped link would mean you needed to reboot the client machine or you’d lock up for minutes at a time trying to poll the mounted directory. (which, when pinned in a gui file manager, meant every time I opened the file manager or a save dialog box, my entire system would just lock up for minutes at a time)
I use an unholy combination of smb and sshfs now, since they can fail gracefully where NFS just can’t.

- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 2 weeks ago:
I think even better is the multitude of sites that have just copy/pasted the wikia ‘Oblivion Console Commands’ page as ‘new content’ for Oblivion Remastered - but quite a few of the listed commands don’t work on Remastered.
I know they copied the wikia page and not the UESP page too as only UESP mentions you occasionally need to wrap refid’s in commas for Oblivion. (if you’re using a refid as the first part of a command ie. “abc123”.moveto player) which you’ll need to know as PRID is dead.
