Nah I think it works well. If an instance sucks, it’s easy enough to use a similar community on a different instance, people will move. If an instance dies, it’s easy enough to move the community to a different instance. We’ve seen it happen already. Way better than Reddit.
This episode was ok. It’s always fun to see Saitama. Tatsumaki won easier than expected lol.
The announcement video has an appropriate amount of animation lol
I never said “every” or “none” on either side. But the heavy games often do not hit that bar or even get close to it. If all you need is a single example of a game hitting 4k120fps in order to consider it a 4k/120 system, well you can always run Quake 1 (with a source port) at that quality lol.
It’s just a bit of a stretch. I really only jumped in cause of the original comment about “4k/240” which has since been deleted anyways. Calling PS5 a 4k/120 system is reaching, but whatever. You can parrot their marketing material instead of assessing the real world results of the actual graphically demanding games.
Many AAA/high end games run at lower internal resolutions and/or frame rates on PS5/XSX. Otherwise PSSR would not have been a hyped marketing feature, they’d just run games at native 4k on PS5 Pro, but no, it needs PSSR.
internal resolution of 847p
Below 1080p, even lower than 900p, that’s for the 60fps target performance mode, there is no 120 mode
outdoor areas - particularly the spots that caused us some trouble in the quality mode - often run below 60fps.
So the average is below 60fps, because it’s not always hitting the target
dynamic resolution scaling down as low as 720p
Beyond a reduction in resolution, a number of the key effects in the game have had settings reductions to keep the performance up
I also see the PS5 at 57fps in that article
The deck is weak yeah, much weaker, so there’s no need to embellish. PS5 runs plenty of games even below 1080p/60fps. Output is rarely the same as the actual rendering resolution.
You can’t just look at the output resolution, otherwise that makes the PS5 and PS5 Pro equivalent in most games, which obviously doesn’t make sense. You need to analyze the internal resolution, image quality, average frame rate instead of peak frame rate, graphics settings, etc
I’m not arguing against your point of the Deck being poor value if you just want to plug it into a TV and let it sit there.
What console does 4k/240hz?? Even PS5 Pro can’t do 4k/60fps in most games, and usually it’s at lower graphics settings too, Digital Foundry does pixel counting and frame rate tests
I don’t think this has much to do with the shortages or current prices, they don’t have their own fabs so they would only be putting chips on boards. They probably just want to take up the hole in the market that Crucial left behind, especially in the future when supply stabilizes again.
I setup dual boot on my dad’s computer, and getting the printer working and shared on the network was easier in Linux than in Windows. I gave up on Windows and just told him to boot into Linux if they need to print anything lol.
It’s too bad the 10-series Linux drivers aren’t updated anymore. I put Bazzite on my friend’s computer, but it doesn’t support the Gaming Mode and has to boot into regular desktop mode instead, then Steam starts in Big Picture mode. Not a huge difference but not quite as slick, maybe uses slightly more resources too.
I hate Facebook as much as the next guy
I hate meta as much as the next guy
You were @[email protected]’s “next guy”, but who will be your “next guy”?
All the emulation boxes with included games that I’ve seen have been terrible with inaccurate audio, bad controllers, frame drops
I think you’re better off getting a cheap mini PC and putting Batocera on it
Batocera is great but I don’t think it has a regular desktop environment. So you couldn’t like browse the internet or use Steam.
If you use a different distro I think EmuDeck will give you the same emulators with the same frontend
You want a live boot USB stick with multiple distros? Or just one distro? I think multiple live distros on a single stick would be hard.
If you just want to test multiple distros you can use Ventoy, but I don’t know if you can get it to retain data, it’s really just for OS installers.
A live boot of a single distro should be easy, but I don’t know which ones are good for that.
I haven’t played all these but they look cool, maybe worth checking out: Pumpkin Jack, Spark the Electric Jester 3, and Sonic Robo Blast 2 (it’s free, not on Steam)
I get like 10 viewers on a good day lol, but it’s more fun than playing offline
It depends what format you want. If you want microblogging (Twitter-like) then check out Mastodon or similar
Lemmy is great, PieFed is similarly great
I think Bazzite suggests using Emudeck, should also work in SteamOS
I think Batocera uses EmulationStation, which is what Emudeck installs?
They used to have this
But I think they ended this deal at some point
