for what, Bluetooth?

which adds latency btw, no bueno

the chonk is only barely being contained

yeah well HP, fuck you too

yep, sure did: https://old.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/5uw5cs

oh it would for simple graphics like graphs/charts, but it’d be worse than useless for everything else like pictures / photos / video. That’s why I mentioned Overwatch as the example, which was the most egregious offender of this. If you turned on the colorblind mode in that game back when it was first introduced, it just chroma hue shifted all colors making it look like this:

how anyone with a functioning eye and brain ever thought that was the solution is beyond me

best they can do for those, is to offer such filters

well I’m sure some people will find it useful, but in my experience global filters make a global mess of everything without doing much of anything to alleviate the problem. Lucky for people like me, many games already have better options, and in other applications it usually isn’t much of a problem

yeah those ones, they completely mess up all colors and still don’t help

if this changes all colors with a global filter the way that some games like Overwatch (used to) do, then it’s really not going to help anyone. I’m red-green colorblind, so when something is highlighted in red it isn’t as obvious to me as it is to people with normal vision. However, the fix isn’t too globally mess with all the colors, the fix is to let me pick the highlight color so that I can choose what works best for me. Many games have figured this out long ago (thank you game devs!).

I’ve been getting back into simracing again with Assetto Corsa Competizione, and I’m still deep into Baldur’s Gate 3

I’m not arguing that, it’s definitely very debatable if it’s ever going to have some practical use outside of its current speculative one. That doesn’t make it a scam tho

many are yes, but not all. Bitcoin and Ethereum (among others) are legit, and there are a few NFT projects out there that actually try to do the right thing even if they’re not worth much at all. Many other NFTs are nothing but pictures that have no meaningful value except what you assign it to, but they never pretended to be anything else so that’s still not a scam in my book

people only care when they’re told to and are being paid to. If nobody told anyone to care about the archival of source code (and build environments) of old projects, then guess what, it’s not likely that anyone is going to do it. Add some good old revolving doors and presto: shit’s fucked

Can we have sound cards again, now please?

I’m happy with my FIIO, works great with my beyerdynamics and no separate driver needed

a 4 core CPU isn’t going to cut it in 2023 anymore, and anything new that you’d want to upgrade to is going to be bottlenecked by that 1070. You could of course look at used parts if your budget is tight, there are a lot of used (ex-miner likely) GPUs out there that could tickle your fancy and I bet there are plenty of people selling their 8+ core Intel / AMD + DDR4 + motherboard as well to upgrade to DDR5

sir this is 2023

Certainly but it will last longer.

that’s highly debatable if we’re talking about a $600 PC. I mean, yes you can argue that with games on PC you can always figure something out to get acceptable performance, but people in the market to buy a $300 console likely lack the experience, knowledge or time to do that

I still haven’t gotten past the first town in D:OS2

not a good look, Linus. If he were actually serious about handling mistakes and issues head-on, none of this would’ve happened because he would’ve publicly corrected his employee when he claimed their testing methods are superior to others’

there were tons of cross posts on reddit, it’s just that they usually weren’t visible on the front page as such

how is this your problem?
