Would prefer ff6 in this style, imo the greatest final fantasy ever made, moreso than the overrated ff7. FF6 deserves some love, the music, the story, the combat and blitz mechanics, the scale of it all is just so damn impressive for a 2d jrpg.
Why do people always say they switched to SearXNG and then never post the instance they use? Not everyone wants to self host a damn search engine.
So has it been confirmed that Intel cancelled high end battlemage? It seems they’re only moving forwards with the SoCs.
HL2 is more than just the gravity gun. The art style, the open levels on the beaches, the facial animations, the improved storytelling from HL1, the antlion army, game was so much more than just an updated half life. Without HL2, portal wouldn’t have any legs to stand on, valve took on narbacular drop, hired the team and put them to work on the source engine to make portal. Counter strike source was the defacto mp shooter for years if not decades, hell even the portal 2 goo came from half life 2 ep 3 just like they mention in the documentary. Saying they ignored all other aspects of the game for the gravity gun does half life 2 a disservice to what it accomplished.
HL2 still did more for the industry than probably any other game on the market. Also, Minerva is a must to play, one of the best HL2 mods.
This is why you’re seeing news articles from Sam Altman saying that AGI will blow past us without any societal impact. He’s trying to lessen the blow of the bubble bursting for AI/ML.
Knee jerk reaction based on OEM feedback for a built in handheld interface for the OEM handhelds like the rog ally. Steam deck clearly caused a disruption in the market that Microsoft simply cannot stop. It’ll probably have alps joysticks that drift, they’ll slap an over powered AMD apu in it with a shit battery that it’ll chew through in an hour like every other handheld PC. Valve hit the sweet spot with the deck, and there’s no real reason to upgrade it, sure you have more powerful apu’s but battery tech hasn’t caught up yet and the only way to counteract it is slap a bigger battery on the device. At that point what’s the point of putting a power hungry apu in a handheld?
The irony of it all is SO making deals for AI to scrape their site for machine learning but in doing so more people are using chatgpt and copilot more because it’s easier and just as accurate. AI/ML is really going to destroy these websites and yet it’s the websites signing off on their own death sentences.
Firefox is the solution people, make the switch.
But you know, according to EA Linux is worse than guys like this deliberately causing disruptions in service to legit players.
I think it looks badass, I’ve been watching streams on twitch and it’s right up my alley so I’m buying it. If for any reason to piss off the jackasses that are hating just for hates sake.
At least Xbox made some sense, it was originally going to be called the DirectXbox, thankfully they shortened the name to something catchier.
It looked good, but the gyro is apparently awful and the trigger travel is basically non-existent.
Well I didn’t say they were perfect.
While the 9000 series looks decent, I honestly think Intel has a really interesting platform to build off of with the core ultra chips. It feels like Intel course correcting with poor decisions made for the 13th and 14th gen chips. Wendel from Level1 techs made a really good video about the good things Intel put into the chips while also highlighting some of the bad things, things like a built-in NPU and how they’re going to use that to pull in profiles for applications and games with ML, or the fact that performance variance occurs between chipset makers more often with the core ultra. It’s basically a step forwards in tech but a step backwards in price/performance.
Not sure you know what swap is…I looked at my m1 after a night of gaming on GeForce now and filling out forms on Google Chrome. My swap was at 0, my used ram was at 4GB used out of the 8GB and didn’t show down at all. I’m sorry you have had a terrible experience with your Mac, I love my Mac mini and will enjoy it as a really cool piece of tech.
This is some real doom and gloom shit right here. You really think it’s a single-vendor market? I guess if you want to buy a 4090 then yes it is, but everything else is a three horse race. This doesn’t mean AMD is saying buy consoles, all this means is they’re focusing on the midrange market that I’m 100% confident Nvidia will completely ditch sometime in the future and tell most customers to use Geforce Now if they want midrange prices. To be completely real here, Nvidia only has ray tracing holding them up right now, as soon as the competition catches up they won’t have anything to gouge and will be kicking themselves for not really innovating any further.
This is how it’s always been for the past 30 years, Nvidia makes a good card and prices it high with 4 or 5 generational updates, Radeon makes a good price/performance midrange card that undercuts Nvidia, everyone wins. The only difference now is Intel has created a very compelling product with their GPUs and I’m pretty confident battle mage will be a big improvement over the current Arc cards and give AMD a run for their money.
Intel is learning from AMD and playing the long game with their hardware, the latest core ultra CPUs are great in Linux vs Windows and will hopefully get better over time, and the battle mage cards will hopefully have day 1 support for Linux and good support for Windows. You simply have to change your expectations here, the market is shifting, Nvidia makes more money hand over fist with AI/ML chips and GFN than they do their consumer graphics cards, they don’t have to make their cards cheap anymore to compete, they can price them however they want due to the cost offset of their server market. I personally find the midrange market to be way more compelling these days than overpriced high end Nvidia chips, maybe you should rethink your position as well.
MacOS, no matter what anyone says, has extremely efficient memory management. It’s seriously impressive how efficient that OS truly is, and it’s no surprise they stuck with 8GB for so long. The thing these clickbait articles don’t really bring to light is that the 16GB increase is really for Apple intelligence. If that wasn’t a thing these Macs would stick to 8GB.
You know, I was honestly going to give you some credit for trying, but then you edited your post and decided to turn the conversation political. Your entire argument has lost all credibility, these are video games, please try not to take them so seriously, have a nice day.
So? Maybe help others find an instance instead of making it sound like some special club that only privileged people can access because they know how to find the right instance.
