Winamp-inspired UI

Why not the original skin engine?

oh boy, here we go.

I’ve got my swiss army screwdriver ready.

PCGamer’s advertisers care.

How will Corsair sell $500 cases and $300 water cooling systems, with $600 of attached fans to people just buying a SteamDeck.

PCGamer’s advertisers need the clueless to think that buying all that is essential.

Secure Boot requires uefi payloads to be digitally signed, Microsoft holds the signing keys.

It’s 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 for the GPU.

24GB total, non-unified.

But then how will they be able to afford the cut for Voice Actors!

I think there’s room for scoping down without going that far.

Skyrim was still by a team of ~300 people. There is no reason we can’t still just do that.

HR is great.

MD is half a game, with disjointed quests due to it. It’s sorta funny how the developers made all the Sonic and Knuckles references…

I do wish they’d done more with the buildings.

The structures being carbon-copy was lore, they’re built in factories and dropped from ships.

But that doesn’t mean they all need the same boxes in a row layout internally, some personality would have been great and pretty easy to implement.

I didn’t think it was so bad I had to stop playing, but I did stop playing one night once it got late and just never started it again, nor had the desire.

It seemed fine enough, but it just didn’t click with me I guess.

turn-based game, but not turn-based battles.

What does this mean?

I can understand the blitzball distaste though, it was polarising even then.

990Pro here (once had 770 80ohm, got nicked at work!!) - you can get some really nice memory foam+leather pads on ebay for them, makes a world of difference since they conform nicer and you get a slightly better seal for bass.

I’m on PC, so waaaay ahead of you.

I’m not expecting it until 2030 at the earliest. (Nov '26 for PS5, add 18-24months for the PS6 release, add 18-24 months for the PC release)

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Fuck all Microsoft Products.

I’d say they’re more the Embracer of China.

🤔

No.

To add to this-

One of the biggest traps for new linux users since forever has been to jump straight into the deep end- tweaking any and every tunable- then when that inevitably all breaks, blaming Linux and moving back.

For anyone reading- You don’t need Arch as your first distro, you don’t want to on the bleeding edge unless you’re prepared to bleed. You don’t need things like Golden Eggroll Proton or any external launchers.

Just keep it simple to start- Something like Mint, SuSE or plain Fedora with Steam using the built-in Proton.

Bazzite gets… let say ‘advertised’ a lot and it’s got a lot of good ideas - but if you’re coming from Windows I think it’s just too much - it’s an immutable system* with containers for everything. That’s an ocean away from Windows unless you were comfortable with Sandboxie beforehand (if you were, dive right in)

*\the system is read only, you cannot change anything in the default image, ie. imagine if you were never allowed to add files to c:\windows

Edit: For the newbs, an ancient meme- https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/by-others/funroll-loops/Gentoo-is-Rice.html

They seemed to have caught on to just scrolling straight to the bottom now too, so now it’s somewhere around 2/3rds the way down is the actual recipe nestled away between the filler.

No please don’t, it’s better these executives stay well away.

If you’re on PC, SpecialK can do that now (on SSE, probably also LE if you’re on nVidia or use dgvoodoo for DX9 to DX12)
