i did it for the old “delete system32” memes before i nuked the drive. fun fact: when i tried to empty the trash with system32 inside dolphin even threw me an error.
now only a single ntfs remains in my system. took me the whole day moving around data to repartition my other drives. tomorrow follows the rest.
Maining it since august. But after i cloned and compiled a git repo entirely in the terminal yesterday i thought it was time to get rid of that “safety” windwos install i still had around just in case.
Selfdriving cars are always just 5 years away for 10 years. But now they gonna start to think in just 5 months.
Hell yeah.
Yes, but CachyOS for me.
So far only one update broke my entire system but luckily snapper was configured in the installation process so i just rolled back and updated 4 days later.
I’m not particularly deep into the emulation scene or even a dev with actual knowledge. But from what i’ve read over the years X86 doesnt have to be a beneficial because the instruction set is ridiculously big and complex. While the chips are based off of PC hardware there still is a lot of custom fuckery going on which isnt publicly documented.
Prominent example is to look at the state of OG XBOX emulation vs PS2. Based on a Pentium 3 and some semi custom Nvidia GPU of that time and you would expect it to be perfectly emulateable. But even after almost 25 years xbox emulation is still in a rough spot. While PS2 emulation with its weird custom architecture thrives.
Widespread interest in a plattform is probably a far more important factor.
With that said PS4 emulation is already pretty mature considering how young the shad4 project is. Even though its also x86, but they’re using an approach more like WINE i think(!).
PS5 has almost no exclusives though. Like GT7, Astrobot aaand uh? I dont see put effort into it too soon.
I dont think you can put a general number on that. But even if you do 2x is way to slow. Try maybe atleast 5-10x.
You can emulate a SNES so accuratly that you need atleast 2,4ghz to run the emulator at all.
Looks like dancing goblin. cute goblin though
The sad part is that i still tried to first rationalize this and was about to check if office.com really belongs to microsoft…
Anyway, i jumped ship for good last year. Its probably really time to delete that windows 10 partition i used a whole 2 hours the last 6 months.
I remember how the startmenu didnt suck on windows 7 and just worked. Good times. That was also the last time where you could find most of the options in one place.
Like in 2015 i was weirded out how a multibillion dollar company wasnt able to just make a new app for settings with feature parity to the old thing for their major new OS release. 10 years later: lmao.
Agreed.
On the other hand thats how the internet worked since forever. I started to just ignore HL3 “leaks” 15 years ago. If you care about a certain topic its pretty easy to rule out the one or two annoying “leakers” which made “leaking” their profession. I would appreciate it if somebody else would prefilter this shit. But tbh i can manage on myself. Like its annoying that especially these posts gain a lot traction because they play with the “needs” and “wants” of the general populace. But sometimes its just easier to put on your big boy/girl shoes on and just deal with it. Best part: dealing with it is just a mental :thumbs up: and then forgetting about it.
its been 10 yeares since satire is dead. but jfc this is yet another stark reminder how dead it is.
me after a whole bag of cheetos.
Most of the responses of the ministers(?) covered in the article seem to be pretty solid.
But then:
Responding to the arguments, the government’s representative, minister for sport, tourism, civil society and youth, Stephanie Peacock MP, acknowledged consumer sentiment behind Stop Killing Games, but suggested there were no plans to amend UK law around the issue.
“The Government recognises the strength of feeling behind the campaign that led to the debate,” she said. “The petition attracted nearly 190,000 signatures. Similar campaigns, including a European Citizens’ Initiative, reached over a million signatures. There has been significant interest across the world.”
She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”
Peacock claimed that because modern video games were complex to develop and maintain, implementing plans for games after support had ended could be “extremely challenging” for companies and risk creating “harmful unintended consequences” for players.
Handing online servers over to consumers could carry commercial or legal risks, she said, in addition to safety concerns due to the removal of official company moderation.
On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”
“Licensing video games is not, as some have suggested, a new and unfair business practice,” she claimed.
Yeah, full on corpo spin. Fuck her.
Its just personal evidence but i see more and more indie games using UE5 and a lot of them run like shit. Most games dont need real time lighting, global illumination, software or hardware raytracing based solutions etc. But instead of baking that stuff once onto textures like its 2004 on the developers rig we now have indie titles with artstyles and visuals which were achievable 20 years ago but done with bleeding edge graphics technologies which dont even run well on modern mid tier GPUs.
Dont get me wrong we still have tons of indie titles which run on a potato. But more hardware demanding titles really picked up recently even in the indie space.
