Okay, Triple-A. What is one advantage or genuine improvement that Triple A has done on gaming in general that isn’t just “yet another change to make things more realistic” Asset streaming, huge worlds, hell the Nintendo 64 can do it.
We have so much computing power available on your mom’s Dell Pavilion she uses at work that is just not even used to its full potential, just for the sake of “number go big” because Nvidia or AMD or Intel needs to sell more chips.
My computer has a Xeon E3-1220 V3 with 16 GB of RAM I do Gamedev, work development (with Rust AND C++ cross-compiling to both Windows and Linux), embedded development (ESP32), 3D modelling on Blender and more. Its Firefox with multiple tabs + YouTube running for music, VS Code, and whatever toolchains/compilers I need, on a dual monitor setup (fair its only dual 1366x768 but still two framebuffers) And I really need to push the computer through hell to make it stutter.
Why the fuck does gaming needs that much compute? What the hell are the devs doing that a fucking 6600 XT, which is a absolute behemoth with 2048 Cores and 8 fucking Gigs of memory struggles with?
Hell, I’ve made a fucking Dreamcast, which is a console from 2001 have 1:1 Parity with a fucking Linux game I made using Raylib with a full blown 3D 6DOF(6 Directions of Freedom) Flight racing game, loading and generating 3D geometry and calculating physics on the fly in runtime And that fucking thing predates the whole concept of graphics pipelines and shaders, it only has a PVR.

Even a 6600XT is so overkill I have a RX 580 with a DDR3-era processor, and most games run at over 60 FPS, hell Elite Dangerous run fine at 80-85 FPS
I really struggle to understand why that much compute is needed for gaming It just comes as wasteful for me

- Comment on Playnix: Boutique Linux PC released with better gaming performance than Valve Steam Machine 2 months ago:
If the hardware has the compatibility for it, then yes It probably is what they have in mind, but they could also go the route with some custom system. Unlikely but not impossible.
The issue if they go custom, is how much ground they’ll need to cover to reach SteamOS levels of plug 'n play
- Comment on Playnix: Boutique Linux PC released with better gaming performance than Valve Steam Machine 2 months ago:
If it can outperform the steam machine, nice The question is, is it gonna be a console-like experience? Just plug and play?
Having the most powerful hardware won’t matter at all if we can’t figure out a way to make people who aren’t tech savy be able to just sit down and play on it, without needing to know what Proton is.
The appear (AFAIK) of the Steam Machine, is this, you plug it in, grab the controller and go play, even if it doesn’t have the most top-of-the-line hardware, being hassle free is a huge win over any other. Specially given how now, the Xbox, the PlayStation and the Switch 2 are direct competition. And they’re simple for a end-user who isn’t tech savy (well… Subjective, I find the Xbox UI to be a convoluted mess)

I blame my entire music taste on NFSU2 soundtrack, it is just that good

Even without being a car person, nfsu2 is a really fun casual game, it isn’t overly difficult, the AI is competent enough to be fun but not be unfair, customization let’s you just play with every part of it visually, while performance stuff keeps quite simple (stage 1, 2 or 3, and then you go to Dyno for more if you want to dive there). Also the game is in depth enough to have quite a lot to do in it

That’s how propaganda works. The goal is to make you physically hesitate to look at news when you see a fucked up headline after waking up, because your brain just knows that you’ll either function as a normal human being, or read that news and be fucked up for the entire day

I asked GPT for help on how to change the video mode on KallistiOS, even gave a snippet of the documentation It gave me code in Python, and when I confronted saying that the Dreamcast cannot run Python code, it sent a absolute torrent of nonsense as a reply
Better coder my ass, my 8 years old younger brother can code better than most AI’s out there
