3 days agoI can dual boot my Steam Deck with an external Windows 11 SSD. I expect I can do the same with the Steam Machine.

Ok… who wants to break it to them?
Sorry, Yiddish, I think I pointed this out in one of your other threads, and I don’t mean to spam, but it bears repeating…
Ring is partnering with Flock:
I inherited a Ring camera with my house and added more, I’m now in the process of de-Ringifying everything.
41·7 days agoBlows my mind that Sony was supporting the PS1, 2 and 3 in 2006.
They are still making PS4 games. Just because a new gen launches doesn’t mean the previous gen is cut off.
The skin community is going to be all over the swappable panels like butter on hot corn.
Edit That didn’t take long…
The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.
Seems likely given the overlap between generations.
PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…
PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

Usually I see them because there’s a super flaky user who creates new accounts, makes a bunch of posts in a variety of groups, then self deletes their account for some reason orphaning their posts.
So I get to remove a bunch of otherwise worthwhile posts because the user killed their account. Not sure what they think they’re accomplishing.
I think it drops off after a week? Yours was created on the 8th, so sometime after the 15th?
The Master System didn’t have a lot of great games, but man, Phantasy Star made up for any other deficiencies it had.
Hands down one of the best RPGs for ANY system, 8 bit, 16 bit or otherwise. Complete with full 3D dungeons.

- Ring is partnering with Flock:
- Police use of Flock cameras is notoriously inaccurate, particularly in the case of lazy or stupid cops.

Game consoles never used to have those features either. 😉 That’s the trick, you need a set that supports modern console features.
HDR management being a good one. The game developers encoded HDR to make a game look a specific way, you don’t want a set that either over-rides it and does it’s own, similarly you don’t want a dumb set that doesn’t support HDR.
All that BS is more beneficial to gaming than a generic TV, especially if your focus is low lag.
It varies model to model and year to year, but in general you want a television with either a “Game” mode or “ALLM” (Auto Low Latency Mode).
So on the LG C5 model that’s popular right now:
https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv
VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) - Yes (Up to 144Hz)
ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) - Yes
FreeSync™ - Yes
Game Optimizer - Yes
G-Sync Compatible (Nvidia) - Yes
HGIG Mode - Yes (disables the TV tone mapping and allows the game to control HDR - “HDR Gaming Interest Group”)
Response Time - Less than 0.1ms
A) to see if it could be done.
B) I wanted to see if/how Destiny 2 runs on Steam Deck and it requires Windows. Running it in a compatability later gets you banned.
