Performance, but Death Stranding 2 looks weird (really washed out) in that so I left it on quality. It’s not a fast paced game, so I’m ok with that.

Actual driver code: about 500KB. If that.

The sad reality of the end of Windows dominance.

I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.

There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.

They’re kind of small enough that if I want a PDF, I can just google it and download it from some random foreign university who are hosting it for some reason. You’d likely struggle to find more obscure stuff that way though.

I really don’t know how we got to a stage where delivery companies can just throw something in the general direction of your house and call it “delivered”.

This is why everything should be bought with credit card, because then the contract is between them and the store, and they’ve certainly got better lawyers than you. Chargebacks scare most shops into just sending another.

Edge has always been Chrome with a Microsoft badge on.

The Play Store works exactly as designed.

It takes a search term, turns it into a list of completely random apps sorted by whatever makes Google the most money in in app payments and adverts, and then shows it to you.

What more did you want from a store run by the world’s biggest advertising company?

So a Java Applet?

Not being funny, but what the fuck is a homeless person going to do with a raw cauliflower?

I often see carrier bags of dry pasta, tinned tomatoes and stuff just dumped at the roadside, because the person they’d given it to has no way of doing anything with it. Apparently they’re supposed to give only food they can prepare, but that clearly doesn’t always happen.

Food waste is part of the system. It’s fine. It’s what stops a shortage from becoming a famine.

I’d honestly skip SotC and play the remake on PS4. The controls are so much better it makes the original feel like QWOP.

Burnout Takedown was the purest Burnout.

I’ve got no time for all that “traffic checking” nonsense.

Primal is one that you don’t see mentioned a lot. Got a lot of attention at the time.

Fantavision was a fireworks based game. Quite chill, and one of things like Lumines that you just zen into one day and sail through, and then the next you struggle again.

GTA Vice City was superior to San Andreas in my opinion.

Kuri Kuri Mix is a cutesy top down co-op game. It’s no Split Fiction, but it’s by FromSoft so expect some difficulty spikes.

Or Bayonetta.

Yeah, but then you’d have to live with clicking Accept on Skibidi Toilet: The Movie

Because I like things to look good on a TV and surround system, not a phone with a tinny speaker.

We’d just tape them off the TV though, so halfway through you’d get an advert for a DFS sale that must end this Sunday, or that bizarre one about milk (Accrington Stanley, who are they?)

I later found out that they’d put these tapes on for us when they wanted to be left alone for a few hours. And we watched them a lot. Not sure what was more worn out by the end, the tape or my dad.

I think it mostly comes down to sharing stuff with others.

There’s a lot of stuff in Jellyfin you wouldn’t want to expose to the internet.

No idea if Jellyfin even has a client for my dad’s shonky old 4K TV, but I certainly wouldn’t be able to set up Wireguard or anything on it.

Right, now load the same game onto each and measure the load times.

Depending on the game, one will be like 6 seconds and the slow drive will be like 6.2

Because most game loading is CPU bound.

I’ve seen gamers do this exact same thing when they say NVME drives load games an order of magnitude quicker than the SATA SSDs they were using.

Never do they mention that the NVME drive was in an entirely new PC using a much better CPU…
