    Valve Announces Steam Machine

    I'm not totally sure this is true, though. People (particularly on Linux machines) are enabling FSR 4 (INT8) on RDNA 3 GPUs. They have been doing so for four months now, while AMD has said it has no intention of enabling it in official driver releases. If this *can* be done on the steam...

    Crazy how everyone's selling everything just to fund four new episodes of MST3K.

    On the bright side, at least the future of AI, and by extension the stock market in general, is looking strong.

    Valve Announces Steam Machine

    ...aaaaand as of this post it's back up to $456. Dumb market. I swapped the cards yesterday afternoon and it was the right call. I got smoother framerates at higher resolutions right away. The rule about AMD having better rasterization and worse ray tracing than the equivalent Nvidia card seems...

    Valve Announces Steam Machine

    Maybe I'm trusting Valve too much here since this price drop is happening at the same time that >8gb cards are jumping but I decided to pull the trigger on a new Tarjeta Grafica for the living room "steam machine." (I hadn't realized Nvidia had put support for 32-bit PhysX back into the 50...

    The first Code Vein was okay but showed how important strong theming and aesthetics are (because it lacked them). I quit during the DLC because there just wasn't anything compelling me to continue. Loved Nioh, though I still haven't touched 2.

    Android and Linux Handhelds - Shield, GCW Zero, GP2X, Pandora, Pyra, JXD, etc.

    You'll cowards are still going to use the Nintendo layout on your "Vita?" Except those controls look like they're hot-swappable/flippable modules? Interesting, although it looks less flexible (not six-button friendly) compared to the modules on the Ayaneo 3?

    This tension defined the forum’s War Room for years, where users were often bullied for admitting they enjoyed "Dead Snake" games or for being "too poor" to afford "Neck Blood" originals.

    Valve Announces Steam Machine

    There's one thing that mine will be able to do better than the real one, once it's set up... Out of the box (relying on the Ryzen 7600 for physx calculations), running at 1080p with anti-aliasing off, the Arkham City benchmark's lowest framerate was 32 during the scene with the ice/shattering...

    Valve Announces Steam Machine

    The wife wanted something to play Stardew Valley in the living room so I just set up a lazy DIY Steam Machine. I just used parts I had at hand, but they're comparable: Mine: Official: I'm using the "Handheld Edition" of CachyOS with the open-source Nvidia drivers. (It's arch-based like...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Symphonic is worth your time, the electronic tributes not so much. Volume I is stronger than II, but the bad tracks (most of Volume II from what I could tell skimming it) are filtered vocals trying to drown out unimaginative arrangements. The theme from More is at least experimenting with the...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Man, I remember rolling the dice on Pink Floyd cover albums at the CD store back in the day. This one was kind of a miss. (Though I haven't listened to Volume II... yet. Update: it's worse.) Edit: I mean look at this list of contributors. Sky Cries Mary at least has a Wikipedia page. (They're...

    Hands off. Tales from the Tour Bus was a great show and I'm not sure there's a legit way to watch it now. The tree story is at around 15 minutes in:

    VR is easily the best way to play video pinball. I'm one of the people who actually bought the Arcade2TV-XR (and will probably buy the haptic kit) just for pinball. It's really hard to say how viable VR is from the standpoint of developers. Meta has been operating at a huge loss to subsidize...

    Meta shutting down/hollowing out their top VR studios seems like a terrible sign for VR gaming overall, but I guess it's an opportunity for Valve at least. So much wasted investment in "the metaverse."

    I hear they're rounding up Injuns too. Be careful out there Chief.
