Honestly nationalism for the US has always been kinda gross to me. We’ve never really had much to be proud of as a nation historically.

Wait, the authors argued that? Why? That’s literally the opposite of the thing they needed to argue.

Heavily depends on where you live. I live near a big city on the east coast in a largely Blue state. I have 1 gig FiOS internet (up and down). In my area Comcast and Verizon compete for customers so our speeds here are alright. But there are plenty of areas in the US that have absolutely abysmal internet. Either because the area is rural so not much infrastructure has been built up or because the ISP in that area holds a monopoly on the market and doesn’t have to increase speeds to keep their customers. I’ve heard horror stories of people being stuck with like sub 10mbps because there are just no other options.

Ah, that makes sense. I can understand being hesitant to pay money for something when valve says they’re not sure about a game. But honestly, the verified system is practically worthless at this point. Checking ProtonDB instead usually gives me more accurate info on a game’s compatibility and people will often provide fixes for games that don’t work perfectly out of the box.

Regardless, happy sailing my man. 🏴‍☠️

Interesting, what issue are you having on steam deck? I didn’t have any problems on my deck when I played it a handful of months ago. There was just a stupid issue where Ubisoft made me sign into the launcher every time I wanted to play. There was an offline workaround though that worked fine I found on protondb. After that I was able to lock it to 40 with some settings tweaks. Played great.

Why remake it though? It’s not THAT old. And it’s not like Ubisoft games look substantially better now than they did back then. Black Flag is probably the AC game from the older AC games that holds up the best. The water specifically from that game is still impressive today and the pirate ship battles have still never gotten better than that.

Nvidia, Intel, and AMD are all American companies. Yes, their GPUs are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan but they just follow the designs given to them. The layout of these GPUs and the architecture of the chips are all designed and controlled by these American corporations.

Specifically for ps3 emulation you would benefit from having as good a cpu as possible.

An R5 2600 is listed as D tier on the rpcs3 CPU tier list.

Anecdotally thats the same cpu I use in my windows media computer in my living room. I’ve tried to do ps3 emulation on it quite a bit. It’s a little hit and miss but mostly miss. I can somewhat get away with playing easy to run games but anything even remotely difficult to run is unplayably slow. And I’ve got an RTX 3060 ti in that. That GTX 1660 is not going to help things.

Correct me if I’m wrong here but a company can’t dictate what you do on your own time on your own hardware, so I assume this simply affects work computers. Assuming thats the case I don’t really see a problem here. I’ve never been able to download any applications at all on any work computer I’ve ever used short of apps the company itself uses.

Seems completely understandable to me to bar employees from using a competing service especially if there are genuine security concerns.

Everybody saying this is why their products are shit are really confusing me. It’s not like Microsoft just started being terrible. They’ve been terrible for a real long time. Way before AI was a thing. This is just a symptom of Microsoft’s awfulness not a reason for it.

Yeah. I didn’t fully read the article lol. Thats on me.

Didn’t the commercial use unlicensed music too? I feel like I remember there being a lawsuit for unpaid royalties or something.

Edit: Yup!

Edit 2: I’m an idiot who didn’t fully read what I posted.

Is that a threat?

Until I can run special K or RTX HDR to inject HDR into games that don’t support it I’m not going to switch to Linux on my main gaming PC. Its hooked up to my Nice OLED TV in my living room and games look too damn good with HDR to give that up for Linux. Yes I know HDR works on Linux now. But it only works with games that support HDR and the only “Auto HDR” solution I’ve found is a janky reshade plugin that only works with dx11 games and doesn’t really produce very good results. I’m really holding out hope that valve figures out a nice auto HDR solution they can build into gamescope.

Totally going to be a rebranded MSI Claw mark my words.

Sounds like you’re under the impression that SBF has been pardoned.

He hasn’t.

At least not at this point anyway. He’s still very much in jail.

I laughed way harder at seeing the square root of 5 equals 5 than I did relating to the joke. Even my humor has ADHD.

These things always annoy the hell out of me. Not because they’re giving the game away so soon after release, but because they always say they’re giving the games away for free when they’re not. You have to have a PS+ account to play these. If you ever unsub you lose access to these games until you subscribe again. My library of games that I own should not be a subscription service. If you’re giving me a “free” game it should actually be free and not contigent upon a $70 yearly fee. Xbox used to do the same thing but you actually got to keep your games if you ever unsubscribed from live gold.

There we go. I was waiting to be represented.
