But so what, really? That’s a dumbass “flex” to try and make. “I’ve used a computer longer than you, so that means I know more”. Like, seriously? That’s what your little mind tries to go to? You’re an idiot.

I wasn’t trying to flex. Iwanted to correct your unfounded claim that I obviously wasn’t a computer gamer.

Except I’m old. Older than you apparently. Or at least I started much earlier. Come back when your first pc had to have dip switches all over the motherboard and 4MB of ram was a whole lot. I was playing computer games in the 80’s, noon.

That in turn is a bit in the realm of pot calling the kettle black.

Tons of games weren’t 60fps before the ps4 pro was ever released. That isn’t leaving the ps4 behind.

My point was that console exclusive games are optimized mainly for the highest-end console for which they are developed. I don’t know how to explain it much simpler.

The Vanilla ps4 was never left behind.

Since the Pro was released, no 1st party PS4 title ran at 60fps.

Further, it seems you lack an understanding of how systems even utilize things like this. If you were a computer gamer you’d easily know.

Bwahahahaha! Wait, you’re serious? Let me laugh even harder! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve built my first own PC about 20 years ago and played PC about 10 years l.nger.

It’s not really any extra programming. It’s just resolution, frame rate, and other shader setting and stuff simply being adjusted

Ok, you clearly don’t have any idea about game development. Different hardware on PC is an incredible bitch to develop for. That’s where console development is way easier: you develop for one hardware configuration and can therefore optimize more effectively. That’s why console games can look significantly better than PC games on equivalent hardware.

Making games run at 60fps is low priority compared to shooting a trailer with impressive graphics, which is which performance optimization has a relatively low priority on lower-end hardware.

It’s not as easy as the customizable graphics settings for PC games.

EULAs on every game are afaik a produch of everything going online. i don’t think those old games have eulas.

Wow… but did e.g. Gameboy games have those?

??

The Country is not the Continent.

I still don’t want to give the country the satisfaction.

Sure, the singular cultural/political/religious “those people”.

AFAIK, the name is quite consentually agreed upon by the first nations from the continent.

The people of the continent called it “turtle island”. European occupiers called it the “US”.

Since when did cartridge games have EULAs?

Also: in sane countries (i.e: not the so-called US), EULAs don’t overwrite civil laws.

The only dangersis when DRM is circumvented.

So you admit to moving the goal posts?

Take shitposts seriously and point out their obvious errors

-Carl Friedrich Gauss, probably

Why? The argument was that MS wouldn’t make CoD exclusive, when they’ve made the highly anticipated Starfield exclusive.

1. You said yourself that a lot of gamepass subscriptions were on PC. You know how many people own PCs?
2. That’s what happened with the Xbox one X and the PS4 pro. Game devs want to make their games look best for trailers, so the graphics will be focused on instead of optimizing for the lower tiered consoles. It’l be like “if you want stable 60fps, you’ll need the PS5 pro”.
3. Starfield already didn’t come to the PS5. There even was a version for the PS5 in development.

Sony has sold double the consoles this generation (60 vs 30 million I think).

Sold consoles isn’t that great of a cathegory to judge the two, since both lose money on every sold unit.

And the Series S is very unpopular with devs, increasing the complexity of developing games for Xbox to get just half the PS market.

Get ready for the same thing to happen on the vanilla PS5. Devs will target the PS5 pro for trailer footage and the games will run like shit on the old PS5.

Game Pass is popular, but it’s just one stream of revenue, and a lot people are only using it on PC

It’s very cheap to offer and if they don’t need to sell xboxes to have a wider customer base, that’s a bonus - not a drawback.

but Sony and Nintendo is dominating console gaming, with MS lagging far behind

We’ll see how far they’ll be lagging behind once they leverage their Call of duty monopoly.

I’m curious: How do you think someone “shit the bed” with xbox, when Gamepass is incredibly popular and successful?

Here’s the speedrun

The research folks were highly skeptical of crypto from the start, but not the latest AI advances.

Yes, they are very much skeptical.

The AI is a fundamental technology that was developed by the scientific method

Lol, what??? 😂

Didn’t know they?/she? was trans. That’s awesome for them/her! :D

If you already have a pixel: Maybe look into Graphene OS. With that, you can completely decouple your child’s data from google.

An era famous for its’ tacked-on multiplayer modes.

I don’t have faith, I try to unnerstand their actions and tactics. And I dislike nonsensical arguments mainly informed by gut intuitions rather than thinking for a second.

Illusion of Gaia/Time is not a Nintendo IP. No copyrighted material is being distributed. They can’t even legally takedown decompilations of Zelda and Mario. What makes you think they’ll go against a completely and unquestionably legal romhack of a 30 year old Quintet game?

company that hates its customers.

You’re describing every company.
