The government has mostly turned a blind eye to dark pattern business for years, and now the president is openly saying that he encourages it and wants companies to step up their game. Of course things are going to get worse, especially now where everyone will have forgotten this by the next election, so it’ll get to stay as “the norm”

This kid’s in for a rude awakening once they get past their intro courses.

Bad games will just pick high prices to trick people into thinking it’s good. Having everything cost the same at launch is the only steady-state solution.

You can’t simultaneously have an executable that operates in a private sandbox and maintain all the features expected of the programming language.

Pfft! You sound like an Octopus pretending to be a real dad, you can’t fool me!

He doesn’t need to keep his system working, he can probably pay someone for that. He needs something that will maximize engagement, and a million “I use arch BTW” comments is exactly what he wants.

I mean, this is also an area where neural networks will improve things. Neural networks are excellent for optimizing data with an extremely large amount of input variables, as is the case here. You don’t need language models, you don’t need to steal all the content on the internet for training. You have analysis tools that will easily validate any solution, so you’re not going to deal with mystery hallucinations.

I don’t think it was that harsh. They only won for worst director, which is deserves 110% because Coppola was behind basically everything for that movie and there was still no cohesion at all.

With the same reasoning, Candy Crush. The single game that killed the entire genre of mobile gaming. It validated the idea that mobile games should be casual and it proved there’s way more money in addictive mechanics than there ever will be in quality games.

This is a pretty standard affair for open sourced games.

Decimeters are almost always superior to cm. Like in this case, dots per decimeter is basically “If you drag your mouse across your mousepad, how many ticks did it record.”

I think you’re confused, when you say “value”, you seem to mean progressing humanity forward. This is fundamentally flawed, you see, “value” actually refers to yacht money for billionaires. I can see why you would be confused.

It drops the graphics to their recommended settings, but you’re free to crank them back up to anything you want. No, it doesn’t check in any way. I have no idea why you would do this, it basically only means anyone who doesn’t check Proton DB for config advice will think the game is half broken.

Warhammer Space Marine 2 multiplayer doesn’t work unless you set STEAMDECK=1 in the launch options.

Both The Boys and Invincible have longtime producers who have been behind the project since the beginning, which makes them a little different.

I don’t think anyone watched Gemini Man.

A simple thing to check is did you plug your HDMI into the card or the motherboard? If it’s in the motherboard, the card won’t be used.

A 7900xt is like top 5 consumer graphics cards ever made at the moment, so 10 fps on a 15 year old game is not normal. I have the same card and just beat Control and Space Marines 2 with max settings with ray tracing and it constantly stayed above 100fps, with a vast majority of its time maxed at 144.

The first thing to do is to download CS2 and see where you’re at with max graphics, you should get steady 144fps. If CS2 works, it’s your games you’re playing, check proton db and see if there is some common advice on settings/boot configs. Proton GE and Feral gamemode are two common tricks. There’s also an option to trick games into thinking you’re on a steamdeck that’s becoming more common. If you see something unexpected with those configs, you may need to dig into your bios and make sure your card is behaving there, and there are some profiling tools for GPUs. You may have to update your drivers depending on your distro. Not all 7900 cards are the same, depending on the company designing the card’s case, you may get different behavior on things like fans.

Their are some GUI tools that profile AMD GPUs, but I’ve found they don’t show must more than sensors and lsusb show.

They may be hiding the stats of their unannounced cards, but not hitting 32GB would be a mistake, especially since the 5090 has 32GB. In the world of AI, ram speed won’t be anywhere near as important as ram quantity.

Just bought a new gaming desktop, and just upgraded another home desktop with a new GPU as well. When GPU prices triple in 6 months, I’m gonna look like a genius.
