StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS (www.pcgamer.com)

While Blizzard is very much focussed on its big money-makers like its various Warcraft games, from WoW to Hearthstone to Warcraft Rumble, as well as Diablo and the much-maligned Overwatch 2, he’s still open to StarCraft making a comeback. That said, RTS fans shouldn’t get their hopes up. While the series might return, that...

dudewitbow,

Would you claim if Starcrft ghost had not been canceled, it would not be a starcrft game?

Humans are similar to cancer cells

Cancer cells are cells that keep growing even when they are told to stop. They continue to grow even when they are a detriment to the body. They consume a large amount of resources and they have no regard for the future even though their unsustainable growth will always lead to the death of their host and to themselves....

dudewitbow,

Depends on how low you define it. Many have monetary like transactions for procreation (e.g male insects offering food, some wasps offering service to mix her eggs into the colony eggs, penguins offering stones to mate), so the idea of offering a good/currency for a service is not innately human.

A competant driver team.

The spun off company from chinas nvidia branch “Moore Threads” has a gpu out that you can buy, but drivers are extremely terrible on it.

Intel is an example of a major corporation who jumped into the dgpu game a few years ago, and they ran into several driver problems and still have many to this day.

The hardest part of gpu design nowadays isn’t the hardware part, but the software side

dudewitbow,

of course, its just that its a huge task to undertake. People still give AMD shit for their drivers and they’ve been doing it for over a decade. It’s a huge problem for any company to build a competent driver team, especially for graphics, be it on PC or on mobile (e.g Qualcomm has a negative stigma for not supporting its devices long). The when for it is not in any short time window and would be a task that would take several years realistically. One way to fast track it would be approaching in an open source way (e.g AMD/Intel linux GPU drivers) but at a corporate level, drivers for those kinds of gpus usually cost way more to produce (part of the reason why workstation and server gpus are magnitudes more expensive than their consumer counterpart)

dudewitbow,

Its why people eant that contract with qualcomm and microsoft to expire.

Albeit also bad for the future market, Nvidia is already itching to unseat x86 and qualcomm on pc if it can. (Part of the reason why the Nvidia buyout of Arm had to be stopped)

dudewitbow,

Its just a matter of getting a invite code from someone whose already in the door. There is basically lots of people who generate it for others. Id do it if I was at home.

dudewitbow,

I want a new shield tv revision because the Arm A57 cores are extremely dated for emulation use.

Also would be nice for some of the more demanding android titles that has released since then.

dudewitbow,

The whole point of the conversation is that the other platforms arent doing any work for the consumer.

To this day, epic doesnt even launch on linux officially, and requires a 3rd party launcher to even play its games. Epics first party games are on the list of games that dont work on linux.

There’s clearly one company who puts more effort onto the consumer front than the other. Epic doesnt even need to make a custom OS like valve does, it just needs to get their own launcher working, and their own games working, which they dont and refuse to.

To say that Epic is doing better for the consumer is disingenuous (however it does better for the developer though)

Its ultimately based on the sites you frequent at work vs home. The sites i read stuff at work tend to be less in your face with ads,.so you know its there but theyre less distracting.

dudewitbow,

competition only lowers prices if supply isn’t limited sadly. And due to how the housing system works, that would virtually never happen.

dudewitbow,

After i read that, I was like this man is a red flag

dudewitbow,

Aoe2 since the release of definitive edition in 2019 has consistently been releasing new expansions. Because it has dedicated and fairly sizable fan base.

It also got its xbox console release earlier this year.

dudewitbow,

i mean users are free to use 3rd party start bars to have a windows 7 style start bar. The thing I always find odd is that if you opt for the 3rd party option, your experience with windows is mostly consistent.

One of the biggest features Windows gives users is the ability to modify stuff and people choose not to use it. It’s like anyone who outright chooses to use IE/Spartan/Edge and complain about it instead of just switching to a 3rd party option.

dudewitbow,

I personally use openshell because its free, some people may prefer start10 or startisback. or go to more non vanilla options like Pokki

dudewitbow,

computer has never broken using a 3rd party start bar, and ive been using it since the start of windows 10. historically, the only time something actually breaks in updates is if it requires the user to overwrite something in the windows folder (e.g complete theming changes). the start bar is not one of them.

dudewitbow,

The lower point of Fahrenheight is near the freezing point of brine (salt water) which freezes at -6 F (-21 C).

It was designed around what the coldest day at the time of its invention could get and the 100F was marked around how hot the hottest day of the year at the timr would get. Hence its choice to scale 0-100 to local weather vs celcius’ choice to use kelvin and offset it to standardize it to pure water.

dudewitbow,

Probably took a while unless trained speed eater.

I personally attempted the 100 nugget challenge and the bottleneck for me actually wasn’t getting full, it was that your jaw hurts a lot chewing through a shit ton of nuggets. I couldnt even imagine doing over 4x that amount in a sitting

What's the best "cheap" iPhone i could get ?

Hey ! I just broke my Pixel 4a (fp reader is dead, screen is flickering, battery health is getting really bad), and i am looking to try out Apple ecosystem. I have a budget of around 300 euros, and i have no problem looking at refurbished devices / secondhand. Here is a list i made (prices are from backmarket, a refurbished...

dudewitbow,

I always like to say, editions labeled SE are the “Shit Edition”

dudewitbow,

They have some unique exclusives. But some game decisions are very questionable at times due to the lacktherof of funding for development.

dudewitbow,

So youre not part of the “Can it run Crysis” where the game was essentially designed to run on hardware that didnt exist yet?

dudewitbow,

The different Garuda varients sans the gaming version are different desktop environments. Garuda just happens to support a lot. The gaming version of dragonized (which is KDE) is just dragonized with preinstalled gaming apps, probably the ones featured on their garuda gamer app

Nintendo Cracking Down on Unlicensed Tournaments (en-americas-support.nintendo.com)

Nintendo just released these guidelines around running a “community” tournament. In other words, an unlicensed tournament. Limiting the player cap to 200 (300 for online), no profit allowed, entry fees must be under $15 USD, must use Nintendo online servers (no Slippi), and some other stuff....

dudewitbow,

The large tournaments that existed for a while generally are licensed. E.g Genesis has a license, and werent affected by the whole panda global situation. Genesis organizers are saying its still going to happen (which would imply they aren’t beholden to these rules)

dudewitbow,

How I see it, its more that if you use multi CCD cpus, you have to manage the CPU manually as some games prefer cache, some games prefer clockspeed, and the OS picks the wrong one at times (usually the clock speed) as the OS assumes the higher clock speed = faster. As the thread director works correctly with Intel chips for the most part (where the e cores have a lower clock) so the e cores are often not selected for performance.

The solution AMD will have to transition to is to exchange the other CCD for the core count focused design (e.g Zen 4 vs Zen 4c) which would be clocked lower to receive similar benefits from the current itteration of thread director.

dudewitbow,

I mean Sonys last purchase was Firewalk Studios, who was working on a game that hasnt been publically shown(however, sony was given a preview of it privately) and they havent released a game yet, so they technically bought out an IP unless you claim they already hit the reset on whatever project they kept under the sheets.

dudewitbow,

It does if they decide to remove the windows conpatibility that was announced beforehand. So far they havent, but if they did, it would be treated the same.

dudewitbow,

Yeah. I cameinto expectation that with all the changes to internal functions, paying more often for a new expansion is the new norm. I mean its kinda obvious, given the extremely short turnaround time between EoD and SoO.

We are in the era of 25$ for 3-5 maps + its story content, and I think itll stay that way till GW2 is unprofitable.

Its going to follow roughly the same expansion cadence that FF14 has (ehich is about every 2 years)

dudewitbow,

There was a leak of bethesdas release schedule during the court hearings, which if you offset the dates due to covid, (starfield was originally taped for 2021) by 2 years, TES6 should be 2026 as the original target was 2024. That would put it as a late Xbox Series life release.

dudewitbow,

The shield is one of the best android boxes on the market, as one of its major features is upscaling videos using its notibly faster gpu compared to standard android boxes. With support for a wide amount of surround sound options, it is still virtually the best android streaming box for videos and games.

The shield tv was such a dominant amdroid box that nvidia fundamentally didnt change its soc simce 2015, outside of the die shrink from 20nm to 16nm that allowed for the upscale feature in the 2019 model and the better battery life in newer switches.

dudewitbow,

I still do it because the weeb part of my library isnt all on spotify.

dudewitbow,

Before secrets was released I was curious how weapon mastery may give power alacrigade another melee option over sword, but the nerfs to gs dont look too hot.

dudewitbow,

Was non vindicator GS even remotely meta? Power renegade fell out of favor and i think Quickness Herald used S/S

dudewitbow,

The constitution was designed to be vaguely descriptive, so that in the case that society does change, then statements can be interpreted in a way that supports the new view of the modern country.

For instance, while not in the constitution, the government set up no offical state language or religion, in the case that society had changed making what they said redundant.

I mean its debatable, given a person can arbitrarily hotspot with their phone.

Saying that no game with muliplayer only (e.g mmos) cant get verified is a very specific category.

If someone wanted single player experiences, you could just filter out tags.

dudewitbow, (edited )

It is an optional solution. You could choose to have a wifi hotspot as well, or be in a location offering wifi. Its having the specific uaecase of refusing to use any of the 3 is saying, “I dont do this, therefore i want the definition changed” even though the changed definition doesn’t apply to everyone.

The current definition of steam verified is very basic, and should stay basic. And people should adjust their filters for their definition instead of valve picking a more precise definition, and the definition being illogical for other usecases

Using filters or creating/joining a curators list is precisely what you should do for more specific situations.

dudewitbow,

Im terms of a perfect filter, not exactly, hence the best method for those crowds would be having a curated list, rather than applying said defition to all users…the users would know more about games tham someone hired at valve who would check a game for basic functionalities and doesnt evem finish the game (there have been times where a game would get verified, but has something broken late into the game). A curator would be able to adjust lists and add remove them as new updates happen that might add/remove functionality, something valve isnt going to revisit after getting a verified status.

dudewitbow,

Then you get into the debate of who can and cant afford something, which goes nack to the idea that a more specific definition is a bad one.

dudewitbow,

It has an opt in option to sell ad space for some of its crypto. Some people just are offended that the option is even there.

dudewitbow,

Some people dont see it as a black and white issue.

Does firefox lose its privacy status if it takes google money and makes the default search engine google search?

dudewitbow,

Hence not everyone sees it as a black and white thing, because there will be a lot of people who would disagree with your statement to some extent.

dudewitbow, (edited )

Bethesda (now microsoft) owns Tango Gameworks. SNK is owned by the Misk Foundation, A foundation created by a Saudi Arabian Prince.

Its a huge myth that people think the japanese conpanies cannot be bought out by non japanese companies. Theyre just significantly less willing to unless it meant bankruptcy.

dudewitbow,

Well depends on how you define toilet. The flushing toilet was invented after issac newtons life so it definitely wasnt on what what would currently be considered a toilet.

dudewitbow,

500 would be the price for higher end WMR headsets. Most popular would be the HP Reverb

dudewitbow,

It depends on ehat youre trying to do. If you are teying to debloat it, of course you go out of your way, but it has the reverse problem for most drivers, where youre almost guaranteed to plug in an arbitrary USB device, and itll probably have drivers or software in the windows environment.

Linux is great. With the caveat that you specifically pick hardware that works well in Linux for it, else you have the problem of “a choice fighting you every step of the way”

dudewitbow,

Im not saying every company can do it do to size, but Framework posted their LCA last month and thry are a california based company. Companies only 3 years old.

dudewitbow, (edited )

They are a company whose trying to change the laptop industry by offering a repairable laptop that can be upgraded. By not soldering in components and not locking or changing the shape of components, their goal is to make laptops easy to repair and upgrade. All cpu/mobo upgrades have the same pcb dimensions, screens are easy to replace due to the ease of opening the bezels. They outright say theirselves that they are not ecologically sustainable (meaning other lapop producing companies are far worse)

dudewitbow, (edited )

Tou can buy parts individually, but its not often that someone buys parts individually unless something breaks. The poont is it minimizes skus (two case designs (13", 15" built around repairability) designs dont go to waste if one thing breaks. They also open their own marketplace for users to resell their used parts as parts can freely be used in other builds.

They dont have much to hide, the point is that they claim theirselves who is pro repair, minimal sku and choose your own ports is not sustainable, then any laptop manufacturer who designs laptops that are going to be desposed if a single part breaks is going to have it worse, over several different Skus with different case/mobo/layout and part selections. As they would heavily fail in the 2nd R (reuse) category.

dudewitbow,

Best has a lot of sub requirements, and cheap goes against that notion. Need to be specific about use cases. No one has the best everything because there are always cuts on design.

If you want the most generic answer, an arbitrary lenovo thinkpad
