- Comment on Why the PS5 ROM Leak Could be a Turning Point for Console Security 19 hours ago:
I’m not particularly deep into the emulation scene or even a dev with actual knowledge. But from what i’ve read over the years X86 doesnt have to be a beneficial because the instruction set is ridiculously big and complex. While the chips are based off of PC hardware there still is a lot of custom fuckery going on which isnt publicly documented.
Prominent example is to look at the state of OG XBOX emulation vs PS2. Based on a Pentium 3 and some semi custom Nvidia GPU of that time and you would expect it to be perfectly emulateable. But even after almost 25 years xbox emulation is still in a rough spot. While PS2 emulation with its weird custom architecture thrives.
Widespread interest in a plattform is probably a far more important factor.
With that said PS4 emulation is already pretty mature considering how young the shad4 project is. Even though its also x86, but they’re using an approach more like WINE i think(!).
PS5 has almost no exclusives though. Like GT7, Astrobot aaand uh? I dont see put effort into it too soon.

I dont think you can put a general number on that. But even if you do 2x is way to slow. Try maybe atleast 5-10x.
You can emulate a SNES so accuratly that you need atleast 2,4ghz to run the emulator at all.

The sad part is that i still tried to first rationalize this and was about to check if office.com really belongs to microsoft…
Anyway, i jumped ship for good last year. Its probably really time to delete that windows 10 partition i used a whole 2 hours the last 6 months.

- Comment on So how was your year in review? 2 weeks ago:
The data is certainly there. The best way to read it is that they specifically make no attempts to analyze it.
Which becomes a bit of a moot point considering that with the fediverse some rogue instance can collect and do with your data whatever they want.
Still a pretty good joke.

i am capable to admit that i know where your feelings are coming from. i feel the same sometimes. but is really about the time you were born in?

i did.
its about generations.
i hated how the “old guard” treated my generation as a youngings and my ways.
now i am myself the old guard and i hate all my fellow same age fucks who do the same shit.
Like dont get me wrong. Social media in its current hyper corporate form is ass. But thats not an generational issue???

i mean do you really believe that? That the people younger than you are just simply more stupid?

- Comment on [Meta] Can unsubstantiated rumours? 2 weeks ago:
Agreed.
On the other hand thats how the internet worked since forever. I started to just ignore HL3 “leaks” 15 years ago.
If you care about a certain topic its pretty easy to rule out the one or two annoying “leakers” which made “leaking” their profession. I would appreciate it if somebody else would prefilter this shit. But tbh i can manage on myself. Like its annoying that especially these posts gain a lot traction because they play with the “needs” and “wants” of the general populace. But sometimes its just easier to put on your big boy/girl shoes on and just deal with it. Best part: dealing with it is just a mental :thumbs up: and then forgetting about it. - Comment on Beans aswell 2 weeks ago:

fair enough.
i just dislike rich assholes who make shitty videos. i agree some specifics would be nice. but damn, i dont remember the exact details of a few videos i watched 2 or 3 years ago. going back to fact check them isnt worth my time. sorry.
- Comment on Hands on with North Korea’s Illegal Phones 1 month ago:
tbf, i havent watched a video of him for years including this one. i just dont trust him at all.
maybe this video is pretty alright. idk. i’m not knowledgable enough on this particular topic either way. but he has touched on topics in the past where i’m knowledgable enough and it was really bad. just utter nonsense. not like with mkbhd where i just disagree with his opinions. its just sloppy garbage.
- Comment on Hands on with North Korea’s Illegal Phones 1 month ago:
fuck that guy.
the factchecking is horrible on that channel. there are so many videos with so many mistakes, misleading conclusions, important left out things, etc.
Fuck him.

Had my money on a 2027 release for the PC after the first trailer dropped in late 2023. Looks like i wasnt pessimistic enough even though i accounted for a console exclusive year and a rather big delay. Maybe by 2028 the AI bubble will have popped and GPUs are affordable again.
- Comment on ‘Digital ownership must be respected’: UK parliament debates Stop Killing Games campaign, but government doesn’t budge 2 months ago:
Most of the responses of the ministers(?) covered in the article seem to be pretty solid.
But then:
Responding to the arguments, the government’s representative, minister for sport, tourism, civil society and youth, Stephanie Peacock MP, acknowledged consumer sentiment behind Stop Killing Games, but suggested there were no plans to amend UK law around the issue.
“The Government recognises the strength of feeling behind the campaign that led to the debate,” she said. “The petition attracted nearly 190,000 signatures. Similar campaigns, including a European Citizens’ Initiative, reached over a million signatures. There has been significant interest across the world.”
She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”
Peacock claimed that because modern video games were complex to develop and maintain, implementing plans for games after support had ended could be “extremely challenging” for companies and risk creating “harmful unintended consequences” for players.
Handing online servers over to consumers could carry commercial or legal risks, she said, in addition to safety concerns due to the removal of official company moderation.
On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”
“Licensing video games is not, as some have suggested, a new and unfair business practice,” she claimed.
Yeah, full on corpo spin. Fuck her.

- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 2 months ago:
My guesses(!): Big topics are already crowded by big channels which get an algorithmic boost because of their past success. Its harder to get your slop prominently shown and establish your content slop farm with these topics. While with niche topics its easier to get your video to the top of the search results.
There are tools opensource tools like https://n8n.io/ to automate the creation of slop content. From what i heard its piss easy to setup. Like here is a half an hour tutorial to set you up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u54cy2nQigThen you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you shit start to shit out hundreds of videos.
As seen eg in the video of redlyne about the dead internet theory. Where he looks a bit into the slop channels on youtube and other stuff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnJKOYOkRMk - Comment on No, commuters of Bus Bound's Steam Next Fest demo, I will not stop publicly transporting you to the scene of accidents 2 months ago:
Tried the demo. Its 42gb to download, lmao. Its UE5. It runs like ass. Like my 5800X3D and 6900XT combo isnt the very best anymore. But it can handle every big AAA game with gorgoues graphics just fine. But Bus Bound seems to be the limit. Better upgrade to a 5090. Seriously i barely hit 60 fps on medium(without lumen) and upscaling. The artstyle pf the game doesnt even shine even on ‘epic’. But on medium it looks like 10-15 year old game and runs like ass. Also TSR/FSR/DLSS/XESS is a must. If you atleast want a clean image with low graphics: though luck. Temperal artifacting and smearing are on the table. Now eat shit.
The intro of the game is super low budget which isnt an issue but isnt a plus either. Driving physics are so barebones that i feel like its a barely touched UE5 premade physics asset. Collisions are laughably bad and worse then a lot of the PS1 racing games i played a few months back(this isnt an exaggeration). One time the busses(eseses?) collision box got stuck in the asphalt of a (slight) downward slope and the physics exploded. Amateur hour.
Now to the positives: The game made me finally read into getting Optiscaler running on Linux to spoof FSR4 on my RDNA2 card. Its pretty solid for an upscaler. I will try it now with Control where the image quality always bothered me.
Anyway: Fuck RPS and Saber Interactive for their misleading little adverticle.
