I'm pretty sure Microsoft will be developing software emulation layer for Windows ARM, so it can support backwards compatibility on as many kinds of ARM processors as possible. But since Snapdragon is only claiming that this works on the X Elite, it's either a matter of performance, or hardware restrictions?

And King Crimson fans!

To be fair, except for GOG, none of the games bought on digital stores are ever really yours. See the recent debacle about The Crew.

I wasn't calling out anyone on anything! I'm perfectly aware "1%" was a hyperbole, but I'm genuinely curious about crypto projects that aren't snake oil.

You f*d up at the part where you didn't start explaining in song, orchestra and all.

git: 'go' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
	log

Any examples of the 1%? Outside of a few cryptocurrencies, I don't think I've ever seen a project self-identified as "crypto" that wasn't a con

Isn't it true specifically on Windows, because the Windows implementation of OpenGL is lacking, but false on Linux?

That is what surprises me with this announcement: we moved a while ago from a more powerful, limited number of cores to smaller, more numerous, and less consuming cores. Power consumption increases to the square of the frequency of the processor, so what is the advantage of moving away from that model?

Same: I got both Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 with my 980! That's actually one of the reasons I bought one: I had planned to buy both games anyway, it made me "save" (as in, not spend) that much money. And given that it was NVIDIA's flagship at the time, it worked quite well with that GPU and I wouldn't have noticed the performance issues if I had not read so much backlash about them.

Off the top of my head:

• I don't remember which one, but one recent Resident Evil remaster. Must be 4, if you say so!
• As I mentioned, Warcraft III: Reforged was (is?) considered terrible
• The GTA III, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas remasters, which are pretty bad ports of the Android/iOS versions
• Batman: Return to Arkham
• Dark Souls: Remastered
• Metro 2033: Redux
• Halo: The MCC as well, although I heard that it got a lot better down the line
• Didn't some Final Fantasy recent remasters / new releases get criticized?

From what I recall, most of these were criticized for lacking the hand-crafted textures and lighting that the originals had. For obvious reasons, since most remasters are AI-enhanced textures, upgraded engines and little to no handcraft ever comes into play.

Did they actually fix the performance of AK or did we just get better hardware to run the game better?

They actually pulled it from Steam for a while, and re-released it properly a few weeks later. But yes, they ended up fixing it properly, and it's probably one of the best-looking games of its generation on PC. The photo mode, in particular, is stellar.

Good points, but a few of these are mixing up controversy with genuine critics.

• Arkham Knight's performance was terrible at launch. But many Ubisoft games could make this list, they were quite famous for their buggy games for some time.
• Along with the Diablo 2 remake, you could add the Warcraft 3 remaster as well which was nonetheless apparently abysmal, but which also removed the original game from Battle.NET. We may also add most remakes and remasters, it feels like an exception when a remaster is generally appreciated.
• Like Starfield, Fallout 4 was also heavily criticized at launch for the same reasons: unengaging story, always the same bugs, lackluster roleplay due to the voiced character... But maybe that's always the case with every new Bethesda game.
• If I remember correctly, on of the main issues with Alien: Colonial Marines wasn't so much that it was a terrible and unfinished game (which it was), but that the demo released was very engaging, and a completely unfair representation of the actual game, which was considered false advertising.

Some people managed to make it run on the SD, you may need to try the demo first. It's a shame that it's not supported officially, it's exactly the kind of games I enjoyed playing on the platform.

Excellente question et excellente réponse. Moi qui croyais que c'était largement un abus de langage, pas tant que ça en fait !

This is not an acceptable argument: I got Crazy Taxi and the first Desperados game in cereal boxes.

I didn't know Tom Zarek was a returning actor from the original BGS series! And the actor of Captain Apollo, no less.

The solution is install with apt.

I checked on my machine, and out of all the packages I had on snap, only Inkscape, VLC and Slack were also available on apt. Spotify, Whatsdesk (a WhatsApp client) and Signal were among the most commonly used missing.

If you already own a decent PC, most of these games have already been released there, although later than on PS5. Only ones missing from that list so far are GoW: Ragnarok and Spider-Man 2.

Doesn't "opening up patents" means that anyone can use the ideas behind the patent without charge? Which means that it's actually not locked anymore, so yes it does help?

I'm also surprised that people see this kind of ads: I haven't seen any since I removed Outlook free (after Windows prompted me to switch because the older UWP Mail app was being retired). I'm always surprised when people complain about the number of ads they get in Windows.

But that's not the point: the point is no paid software should contain any ad.

Do you have a better source than this jpeg?

Our vestigial tail is the coccyx, and animals with tails have bones in them. Why would a vestigial tail grow at the base of the neck?

Yeah it's always that: "I want to buy the new shiny thing! But it's expensive, so I'll wait for a while for its price to come down." You wait for a while, the price comes down, you buy the new shiny thing and then comes out the newest shiny thing.

For some reason I can't see your answer on the post: despite us being both from lemmy.world and me being able to otherwise access your profile and see your posts and comments, the only way I can see it is in my notifications, not as an answer to my post. Anyway.

That's why the original argument is inherently flawed: for the same price, I'd rather have 20 hours of carefully crafted content than 500 hours of AI generated fetch quests in a basic, procedurally generated open world from the latest version of the Ubisoft game framework. As a customer, I'm not buying playtime, I'm also buying the quality of that playtime.

This is also why we don't pay for a movie, an album, or even a show or an exhibition by their duration.

If video games were priced by hours of dev time, I could kind of agree (with the theory, in practice it doesn't really make sense). But let's be honest here - that's not what he means at all.

I think it's even simpler than that: they want a share of Google's data, and more control about what ads they can show to their customers constantly. Their hardware platforms are okayish and sold for a quite low price, but they monetize it on ads.

Looks like it could be on of the 2008 GOTY!

I've looked if I could do it myself as well, but there's basically nothing but "look at how it's done on similar devices". It's fantastic to build an app to support all those devices, but it's a bit of a shame not to provide guides so others can contribute to support it.

Oh, that! Yes well that argument doesn't hold up anymore but Windows has been successfully positioned as the only gaming OS for years (deservedly, too), it will take a while to fade off. Besides, many games on Linux still require some tinkering (although that's probably not the case of the 12000 verified and playable games on there).

When has DRM prevented modders to work on a game?

If they're playable on the Deck they're playable on Linux, or am I missing something?

The list of supported devices is there (and too short, none of my wireless devices work).

Maybe OP works in noisy environments, or his device is a recent phone which doesn't have a jack input and using a adapter is not very convenient?

Anyway, passive noise cancellation (typically, a closed back or in-ears) is more efficient in the higher frequencies: physically blocking short wavelengths is a lot easier, as any obstacle will act as a dampener. On the other hand, ANC is a lot more efficient on lower frequencies (on the opposite, it's easier to be precise on lower frequencies, longer wavelengths). On ANC devices, both are used in tandem. And I don't know if you've tried any good, recent ANC headphones these last few years, but they've become surprisingly good! Nothing to be compared with passive noise blocking.

but im sure there are wired headphones with ANC

I'm sure there are (although I don't know any), but ANC requires digital processing, which is performed by the headphones itself on the signal. If you're plugged in with a jack, that means you'll be needing a digital-to-analog-to-digital conversion, which is objectively a loss in quality, which would have to be handled by the headphones... Besides, ANC headphones usually have several modes which can be selected from the app. Anyway, all that to say that now that we have quite to very good Bluetooth audio codecs, there's no real upside to having a wired connection for ANC headphones, which is why most makers have moved to that.

No no no I'll stop you right there as you don't seem to get it: it's shitty in either case and must be called out, it's just that it's more recent for MK1. You don't get to sell a game 70€ and expect players not to complain when integral parts of it are held behind paywalls.

I'm kind of in favor of that, but unless you can emulate x86 on ARM with reasonable performance, all our game libraries will be useless.

Well apparently not it seems

I would go as far as to say that this is for sure an opinion.

It's a really solid Metroidvania, with beautiful design, music and story. It's not the best Metroidvania (my vote would go to Hollow Knight) but the game is really good. The sequel is great too!

I don't know how far in you went: the first half-hour or so is just slow storytelling. And just like all Metroidvanias, your set of powers at the beginning is very limited and isn't so interesting. However, the game is well enough paced that as soon as you're comfortable using your current power set, the game unlocks a new mechanic, and it never really stops until the end. It especially shines if you're a completionist IMO, as being able to go back to each area to explore it to 100% with the whole power set feels really great.

I get my comics on getcomisc.org or Soulseek. The first one has good sources and a few collections, although nothing I'd call an actual "bulk". With Soulseek you can download the batches of your choice.
