Yeah, also does anyone else remember when the best video card was like 600 bucks? I never did buy one of those. And I’m not buying the top end cards at 3k or whatever they are. I built my whole last computer for less than that.

What blew my mind was how I heard Titanfall 2 uses the source engine. That game looked really good. I did only play it on the steam deck though, so my resolution and screen size weren’t crazy.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video 2 days ago:
That’s fair. I did watch a video comparing them, and what stuck with me was how they mention how good we got at faking lighting and making it so convincing that the reflections are real, it’s hard to sometimes tell the difference. For me on a 2070s with 3440x1440 resolution, it’s not worth it at all.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video 2 days ago:
That’s the first game I tried. Looks great, when it comes to a room and playing I find those details skip my brain and prefer smooth 144Hz instead
- Comment on Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video 2 days ago:
I find when I play, if I’m not looking around focusing on the graphics (like playing the game) I don’t notice it. Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440x1440 with ray tracing on makes me get like 24FPS. Without it, I can get above 60.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 RTX | Half-Life 2 20th Anniversary Tribute Video 2 days ago:
Am I the only one that doesn’t really give a shit about ray tracing? For mediocre gains, you get a punch in the face on performance. I’ll take 144Hz on a game over ray tracing any day.

Need but how is that controller layout supposed to work well for N64? Definitely not ideal. Not enough buttons.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 1 week ago:
Sometimes they’re not on gog and I want to play them. Other times it’s 4$ on steam and 50$ on gog. I’ll buy it for 4 on steam so I can play it, then wait for the sale on gog down the road.
- Comment on Sega is delisting 60 classic games from Steam, so now’s the time to grab them 1 week ago:
This is also why I often buy games on gog that I already “own” on steam.

Trump is above the law. Lol.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6.9 Changelog 1 week ago:
Probably why I own this game on 3 different platforms now lol
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 weeks ago:
The steam deck is also amazing, such a nice piece of hardware. I’ve been gaming on Linux for years and I’m surprised how well it works. Feels like a console.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 weeks ago:
It unknowingly interferes with my security or privacy, 100%. It has root access. What’s it doing in there? Nowadays you’re naive to think it’s just to prevent game cheating. I guarantee they’re collecting all kinds of information.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 weeks ago:
I kind of assumed it would be packaged with each game, a waste of space (but how big could it be?) but leaving a game with anti cheat a global dependency seems like a bad idea.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 weeks ago:
Lots of games with anti cheat auto work under wine/proton. The most on top of my head example is Elden ring. Runs fine on my desktop with arch, as well as my steam deck.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 weeks ago:
Heroes of might and magic 3, but I feel like it might not have the same appeal if it did happen. Happy to be proven wrong, of course 🙂
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 weeks ago:
Overload exists. While not a remake, it is the spiritual successor with the original development team making it.

Because I get my full speed
- Comment on PS5's 'Resume Activity' Feature Apparently Gone for Good - PlayStation LifeStyle 3 weeks ago:
I remember this. Not sure if I ever did it though
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
Hm interesting, I’ve never run into issues with hidden throttling.
- Comment on PS5's 'Resume Activity' Feature Apparently Gone for Good - PlayStation LifeStyle 3 weeks ago:
This reminds me of when I had a PS3 and I used to run Linux on it.
It still blows my mind that it’s not illegal to sell a consumer something, then remove functionality after they’ve got your money.
Good ol’ corporate bait and switch.

So frustrating, dealt with this again a couple days ago

Yes I know it is, lil bro/sis. I’m more referring to how I can stream my higher end games from my PC to this PC.

I just got a steam deck. What a compliment to my PC.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 1 month ago:
I still remember hanging out in a few of them around this time of year when stuff was decked out Halloween themed. Never did beat the expansions. Crazy how little detail the game seems to have by today’s standards 🤣

Recovered my account a couple years ago with support and providing my og serials. Can’t believe it worked but it punched me in the face nostalgia-wise when I got into it.
