- Comment on Which SBC for TV streaming? 1 week ago:
Raspi4?
$94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn’t been reliable since Covid)
Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it’s CPU decode only, can’t handle AV1.
2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.
Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.

Sony doesn’t want a single player or even co-op sequel to an old Macintosh shooter though, they want live service money.

Surprised they (Denuvo, etc - not Valve) don’t just hard require SELinux.

Retail units couldn’t access most of the RSX in OtherOS for Sony reasons, Geohot fixing that was why they killed OtherOS.
Apparently the DOD units never had any lockouts on the GPU.

Hate it when someone new gets a hold of the lore and has to change it up.
I finally got the rules for Catholicism 6th Edition.

A PS5 Pro is locked to the PlayStation store, I can’t install my Steam, GOG, Epic, etc games on it.
The games are all more expensive too and you have to rebuy them to get resolution upgrades with newer hardware.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’d be that high, retail prices on similar hardware to the specs is ~USD$700, including a (crappy) case and a (decent) PSU.
I think Valve could get it to $649 without subsidy.
Just due to not having pay as much for the parts, they’d be getting the cpu+gpu directly from AMD as ‘semi-custom’ parts, so there is no Distributor, wholesaler or retailer profits to bundle in, the GPU is on the main board too, so no extra AIB profits to worry about on the GPU.
DRAM will be a ‘fun’ one due to price fluctuations though.
Really depends on how much profit they want to make.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
That’s a bit different IIRC, they purchased them directly from Sony and they didn’t have any of the OtherOS hardware lockouts like retail consoles did.

- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing.
By employing people themselves and paying a proper wage.
It’s not hard.

I don’t believe Alberto or Bungie.
He’s a thief.

I wonder if it’s even worth it now.
Might be better to try and wing it on your own if you want reliability.
Gov and corpos will keep using it since it absolves them of responsibility.

The niche is already filled by NUC sized PCs from China.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 3 weeks ago:
No, the Steam Machine has a CPU and a pcie GPU.
Even if you could argue Raphael was an ‘apu’ since it has the 2CU GPU, those are lasered off on Steam Machine’s CPU.

- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 4 weeks ago:
PCGamer’s advertisers care.
How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.
PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.

I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.
Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
HR is great.
MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.
The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.
But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.
It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 4 weeks ago:
turn-based game, but not turn-based battles.
What does this mean?
I can understand the blitzball distaste though, it was polarising even then.
- Comment on Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal. 4 weeks ago:
No, Chamberlain was spineless, against the Royal Family.
Czechia gave him a plan to crush the Nazis at the first stop, they baulked, since the prince loved Nazis.
- Comment on Game of my childhood, Windows xp, best windows 4 weeks ago:
990Pro here (once had 770 80ohm, got nicked at work!!) - you can get some really nice memory foam+leather pads on ebay for them, makes a world of difference since they conform nicer and you get a slightly better seal for bass.

I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.
I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)
