I’ve been using it since v4 launched and it’s one of my favourite things ever.

Wow, you have the media literacy of a garden snail.

You managed to read multiple King books and thought he was anything other than a left leaning liberal? Might as well burn them, it’s not like you understand them.

I was 20 when TPM released and not a single person I knew liked it. It is still the most disappointing part of the franchise for me with ep2 being a close second. Ep3 was an improvement but still just ok.

Now I see people in their 20s and early 30s that live the prequels and it’s just strange to me. They’re no better than the sequels (and worse in some ways) so I really don’t understand people that enjoy them while crapping all over the newer films.

The prequels had a good story told incredibly poorly while the sequels have a bad story but at least it is told well (or at least better) and neither of those are recipes for a good film.

Resolution scale, not resolution. On my monitor I run a 4k resolution with a 125% resolution scale. When I undock the resolution scale stays at 125% so everything looks too large on the decks display.

I find that happens if my docked and undocked resolution scales are not the same.

Not always, the mister would need more elements to do an actual 1:1 for many newer consoles and the cores are often reverse engineered best guesses and not replicating the original asic design.

On the other hand, original hardware goes through revisions and the silicon can change (snes 1chip vs 2chip for example) while still be perfectly compatible so it really depends ho much of a stickler you are.

The wolves are the ones that gave me the windows installation media.

I’ll sit beside him, put in my IEMs so I can’t hear him and reimage my steam deck with windows 11 just to make him squirm.

About $50-70 for me depending on the game. I am interested in playing the games more than collecting so I have zero interest in paying more for a game than it would have cost new at retail.

I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.

Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.

My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.

MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.

It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.

I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.

My bad, I misinterpreted op use of the word launch to mean opening the app.

Wtf, is that actually a thing now?

Embracer is a holdings company that buys up gaming companies. It’s terribly obvious that they are not a gaming company.

You don’t want to know how much that would cost in Ontario

Replayed it last year and it was as good as I remembered. Windwaker is my personal favourite but LTTP is so close it might as well be a tie.

Hangon, shinobi and rampage were what I played the most.
