This mischaracterisation really struck me during the coverage and commentary of the recent “AI blogged about my rejection” as if that weren’t something prompted by a human for.

Do you find there to be a split second of delay when you switch to it before it’ll respond to pressing things? Unsure if I’m going mad, or holding it wrong, or something.

I’ll just blanket say anything by Zachtronics and Inkle would be excellent. I think Zachtronics even used to have a way for schools to license their games out for free?

Just Dance+ streaming service will become more expensive whether you purchase access via a 1 Month Pass, 3 Month Pass or 12 Month Pass.

1 Month Pass will increase in price from $3.99 to $4.99, while a 3 Month Pass will rise from $9.99 to $12.99. Finally, a year-long pass will cost $29.99, up from $24.99. These changes will be applied from April onwards.

So far, all planned gameplay updates for SM2 have been free - cosmetics packs are what are available for sale, and that’s all that’s in the season passes.

Ahh, that’s a shame.

SK Hynix are building more supply, I thought I saw: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/sk-hynix-to-spend-usd13-billion-on-the-worlds-largest-hbm-memory-assembly-plant

May be misinterpreting that, though.

I was sort of waiting to get back into it until after the December (?) performance patch - sounds like that hasn’t arrived/helped? 😩

Okay, thank you!

No worries if the answer here is “please go Google it”, but I’m curious as to what the end user has to edit?

Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such, or is it more involved? I’d expect a chocolatey package or some form of installer could improve that hugely…

I think they’re saying this tech adds perceived sharpness to the upscaling artifacts 😅

John Walker (founder of RPS, back when it wasn’t a window to Eurogamer style content) is currently doing Buried Treasure, a small review blog for things that aren’t being appreciated by the masses. Well worth checking out!

Fairly easy fix, there, given this is Valve who own the marketplace:

• Only initially sold via Steam
• Require a Steam account to buy, and the amount must be unrestricted (have bought some amount of games, I think is the way they do that)
• Optional: restrict sales to 1 per account initially, maybe open that up later

The digital foundry video said no plans to support at launch.

I’m sure they haven’t tested this out, at all. 😅

In more seriousness, does it not just look like the same distance as on the steam deck (which I find comfortable to use), but mildly rotated?

Have you, uh, seen steam input and the new controller with the touch pads? It sounds like you haven’t…

If you don’t count arbitrary clusters of buttons as a d-pad, I think this is an invalid comparison.

Do you count, e.g., the A/B/X/Y buttons as a d-pad?

If they have enough money to burn on LLM results, they clearly have enough and I don’t need to keep donating mine.

Sure, but machine learning like that is very different to how LLMs are trained and their output.

For what it’s worth, I subscribe to the “use your TV as a screen, plug another device in to deal with content” method. It’s not connected to the network.

So, whatever my TV wants to do, I’m not using it’s janky apps that might get slow over time or try to advertise to me - my Nvidia shield (which is on the ropes/way out due to some updates it pushed) CEC wakes the TV and plays content without having any particular insight into my emotional state. But I can replace that relatively easily/cheaply until my screen literally stops working, rather than if some new service isn’t supported on it or an old one is deprecated.

I’m being tempted to replace the shield with a NUC or other device due to the updates I mentioned above - but I can probably replace the launcher more easily.
