I’ve been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn’t a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.
Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it’s worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.
I don’t use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 2 weeks ago:
The latency numbers of displays ie the 8-9 or 40ms include any framebuffer the display might or might not have. If it is less than the frame time it is safe to assume it’s not buffering whole frames before displaying them.
Your GPU has a frame buffer that’s essentially never less than one frame, and often more.
And sometimes less, like when vsync is disabled.
That’s not to say the game is rendered in from top left to bottom right as it is displayed, but since the render time has to fit within the frame time one can be certain that its render started one frame time before the render finished, and it is displayed on the next vsync (if vsync is enabled). That’s 22 ms for 45 fps, another 16 ms for worst case vsync miss and 10 ms for the display latency makes it 48 ms. Majora’ mask at 20 fps would have 50ms + 8ms = 58 ms of latency, assuming it too doesn’t miss vsync

Standards were settled on based on power frequencies, but CRTs were equally capable of 75, 80, 85, 120Hz, etc.
That’s why I specified 60hz :)
I see that you meant TVs specifically but I think it is misleading to call processing delays ‘inherent’ especially since the LG TV you mentioned (which I assume runs at 60hz) is close to the minimum possible latency of 8.3ms.

First time hearing that about OLEDs, can you elaborate? Is it that the lack of inherent motion blur makes it look choppy? As far as I can tell that’s a selling point that even some non-oled displays emulate with backlight strobing, not something displays try to get rid of.
Also the inherent LCD latency thing is a myth, modern gaming monitors have little to no added latency even at 60hz, and at high refresh rates they are fastest than 60hz crts

Surely digital foundry will find improvements but to me this doesn’t look that different than witcher 3. Better animations and hair looks better I think? The promise of increaaed interactivity means nothing in a trailer. I only hope it has better multi core performance especially with ray tracing

- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 months ago:
Witcher 2. The game. Letho captures Triss at the end of act 1 to get away and Geralt can choos recue her on act 3… Yennefer is only ever mentioned in name. Please look things up before condescending
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 months ago:
W2 was spent looking for her the entire game
Witcher 2 was spent looking for Triss not Yennefer.
The books are canon for the games, yes
And I said maybe they shouldn’t be because warping the game story to fit the books is what I’m complaining about in the first place.
If you were fine with how w3 handled Yen before reading the books good for you. But it was not at all clear for me and that’s all I said. Sorry for being brash but it is obnoxious to then get comments preaching about how Yennefer is objectively right for Geralt and Triss is just fan service and the game itself favoring Yen would make sense if only I were to read the books
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 months ago:
As far as I understand the games aren’t book cannon right? Then let the books not be game cannon. It is unreasonable for the books to be required reading between witcher 2 and 3 or even to expect the audience to know to read them.
A never before seen character from the books showing up in the game doesn’t bother me because they’re new and they’re explored as if they’re new characters. Yen bugs me because she’s a new character to me but as soon as they meet in Skelliga, her and Geralt get back together as if nothing has changed since the books. On the other hand Triss is an established character who has a history with Geralt that I know of, but now both are giving each other the cold shoulder without explanation.
In terms of Triss and Yen the books don’t give context to the status quo. They become the status quo.
- Comment on Useless rant about Witcher 3 romance 2 months ago:
I really don’t care about the book. If anything his relationship with Yen feels like pondering to the book audience without much of a setup out explanation in-game
