Almost had a gd heart attack!

Nintendo sues everyone they can because as an IP holder of some seriously valuable properties, everything else in the gaming industry just looks like free real estate for them to colonize. I can make a game called "Dog Fighters" and I'm sure they'll find a way to tell me they own that idea.

ALL women need to go on general strike. Not just if you voted for Trump, for everyone. Hard-line for "no freedom? no work, no sex, no labor". Watch the economy cripple at the greatest union in history. Watch political organizations form behind women because they've been denied access to what women provide.

I've preordered it. I have a few hori controllers. Some are worse than others. Even though its design is pretty much identical to their switch controller, I honestly want to give it a try. My goto controllers lately have been the PS5 controller and the Gamsir g7 se. I have been playing everything recently on Bazzite so it's been fun to try out different controllers for different games.

They both have their corporate masters. It's just RedPubs run a pro corporate ticket and Democrats have a platform that is perceived as anti corporate. RedPubs get into the office and do exactly what they promised, Democrats get into the office and have to pretend to not bite the hand that feeds too hard (more of a gentle lick).

This is why the Democrats strategy is to lose. They are essentially paid to lose. Corporatism is what is getting in the way of democracy.

I've seen this done on VMware personally. They most likely pivoted from another system on that network with a RAT. Here's bleeping computer article instead: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/meet-interlock-the-new-ransomware-targeting-freebsd-servers/

I would like to see further development but I always had a sneaking suspicion that its life was limited due to the fact that ARC does not come from Intel's fabs either. Like lunar lake, Arc is also made at TSMC.

I don't think Lunar lake wasn't a "mistake" so much as it was a reaction. Intel couldn't make a competitive laptop chip to go up against Apple and Qualcomm. (There is a very weird love triangle between the three of them /s.) Intel had to go to TSMC to get a chip to market that satisfied this AI Copilot+ PC market boom(or bust). Intel doesn't have the ability to make a competitive chip in that space (yet) so they had to produce lunar lake as a one off.

Intel is very used to just giving people chips and forcing them to conform their software to the available hardware. We're finally in the era where the software defines what the cpu needs to be able to do. This is probably why Intel struggles. Their old market dominant strategy doesn't work in the CPU market anymore and they've found themselves on the back foot. Meanwhile new devices where the hardware and software are deeply integrated in design keep coming out while Intel is still swinging for the "here's our chip, figure it out for us" crowd.

In contrast to their desktop offerings, looking at Intel's server offerings shows that Intel gets it. They want to give you the right chips for the right job with the right accelerators.

He's not wrong that GPUs in the desktop space are going away because SoCs are inevitably going to be the future. This isn't because the market has demanded it or some sort of conspiracy, but literally we can't get faster without chips getting smaller and closer together.

Even though I'm burnt on Nvidia and the last two CPUs and GPUs I've bought have been all AMD, I'm excited to see what Nvidia and mediatek do next as this SOC future has some really interesting upsides to it. Projects like ashai Linux proton project and apple GPTK2 have shown me the SoC future is actually right around the corner.

Turns out, the end of the x86 era is a good thing?

AAA title Published by Epic Games, doesn't use unreal engine, mega-chad move.

I can see them in the future publishing it on steam as it has no integration into epic in any technical way. Epic will want to recoup their costs though by optimizing the release window for steam so expect it (if at all) to have a steam release when control 2 lands.

I can't believe they went full mystical ninja Goemon for the megazord sequence. I may just buy this.

That's a good question. I will have to test it out. I usually play wired. I think the minisforum BD790i I'm using has an Intel Bluetooth chip set. From my experience those have issues with the Xbox controllers and often the dongle is required. I do have the dongle so I will try it out.

Just rebuilt my living room gaming PC this weekend and installed Bazzite. The most exciting feature for me so far has been that SLEEP WORKS. I can just put the system to sleep and resume whenever I want. 10/10

Follow up to this: just bought the minis forum BD790i. I'm using it now with the sapphire nitro + Radeon 7800xt. I've installed Bazzite now and I'm giving it a run for its money.

10/10 movie of the year.

Emphatically Yes!

This was an absolute scourge on gaming in the 2000s. I remember when gears of war came out on PC and the most popular mod simply removed post processing effects from the game. It instantly went from poop brown to James Cameron Terminator 2 judgement day Blu-ray edition levels of teal.

I think the teal was better TBH.

Remember when uncharted came out on the PS3 and there was a feature in the menu called "Next-Gen mode" that just put a brown filter over everything?

I've built a small PC with erying es 0000 Chinese motherboard and a Radeon 7800xt. I've loaded ChimeraOS onto it. I essentially now have the steam machine I always wanted.

I plan on making it smaller but the GPU is quite big. I'm thinking about getting the minisforum bd790i next and moving to an itx case that will support the 3 slot AMD Nitro+ GPU.

From the software standpoint, it's awesome. You download the game and it runs. Minimal fiddling. Just beat silent hill 2 on it and now in repaying RE4.

I can't recommend these erying motherboards to everyone, it's actually quite a big gamble IMO. The minisforum is probably a safer bet.

I've done this and my living room has never been a happier place.

I passed on this one because I always feel like there's a real chance I'll get screwed one way or another by Ubisoft so I just avoid them outright.

What's stopping you from building your own Bazzite Box right now? (ChimeraOS is great too. ) Honestly, the things that make me most excited are

1. the combined rumors of Valve developing for Arm and

2. the Asahi Linux presentation from Alyssa Rosenzweig that shows you can run modern games from steam on Linux on arm mac NOW. https://rosenzweig.io/blog/aaa-gaming-on-m1.html

Valve's first party custom hardware is coming.
