- Comment on Doug Bowser Retiring From Nintendo, Successor Announced 1 hour ago:
I’m not sure if they’re concerned with Saturo Shibata directly, it’s just that under Reggie, Nintendo of America pushed hard for stuff like free Wii Sports and cheaper prices (which worked great, making the Wii a huge success), while the Nintendo Japan was of the opinion that nothing should ever be given away for free.
Under Bowser, Nintendo of America fell in line behind Japan. Culminating in stuff like the welcome tour for the Nintendo Switch 2, something that us just a tech demo of the device you just spent $400+ on, costing $10.
Having Saturo Shibata as CEO, it seems this will get worse, not better, since Nintendo Japan is excerting more control over NoA.

the joke is that all lines of longitude meet at the poles. So everything is north of the south pole. There doesn’t exist a east, west, or south of the south pole

In Germany that would be the GT710 or GT730:

Just be advised that these came out in 2016 and were dog shit even then, but they are the cheapest. I’d say they’re not worth the 40+€ that is being asked for them, but you might find some cheapisch ones 2nd hand

not quite: Quality vs Performance Modes youtu.be/Am0ER7iW2lo
but it does struggle to hit those targets with performance mode often only getting 45ish FPS and drops into the 30s.

These are cross-view, your probably using the focus at infinity trick instead.
- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 2 months ago:
Maybe they’re just buying these studios to acquire their IPs, code and artwork to train new AI’s on. Then close the studio, as you’ve acquired all its data and it serves no further purpose to them. Probably hoping to release full AAA-AI slop in the future. Don’t think it’ll work and they’ll waste enormous amounts of energy and resources before the AI bubble bursts and everyone realizes that current ‘AI’ (LLMs) will never become AGI.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 is already running custom graphics through exploit one day after launch 3 months ago:
That is one of the options, that apparently a lot of the 3rd party devs are using. So far, all 1st party Nintendo titles are announced to include the game on the cartridge (not just a key)
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 4 months ago:
No, not Proton, but the dxvk stuff works on Windows too. You just need to replace some .dll files
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year 4 months ago:
Well there is d9vk and dxvk which translates directX 9, 10 and 11 to Vulkan and vkd3d which translates direct3D (directX 12) to Vulkan. So it’s all Vulkan on the Linux side, Proton ‘just’ translates one of these into Vulkan or passes it through if the game is already Vulkan.
I don’t think there is a native (to GTA IV) Vulkan renderer in game though and therefore there isn’t anything more you can or have to do on Linux.
On Windows, some older games actually get performance improvements from the translation to Vulkan.

I tried to keep the rhyme, even if the English translation isn’t grammaticaly correct.
