Numetal is the tail end of the 90s, you’re ignoring like 80 percent of the decade there.

Bubble wrap and realtor surprised me

There are also a few Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese dishes that use spam. Basically any place that has or has had a US military presence at some point has developed spam based dishes because they leave tons (literally) of the stuff behind when they pull the troops out.

Resolution scale, not resolution. On my monitor I run a 4k resolution with a 125% resolution scale. When I undock the resolution scale stays at 125% so everything looks too large on the decks display.

I find that happens if my docked and undocked resolution scales are not the same.

I only go for their higher end productivity mice so I can’t say much about their gaming gear. It seems like gaming mice, regardless of the brand, typically have shorter lifespans. Either that or gamers are just more vocal when there are issues.

Only one ever died on me (brother spilled beer on it) and that was after 6ish years. The rest were upgrades to newer models. My current mouse (mx master) is coming up on 8 years and I’m debating between replacing the battery or getting a newer model but it still works as well as it ever has.

Ask a razer user if their mouse/keyboard last forever.

Except their mice are built better and last longer than any of the popular gaming brands. I’ve owned 4 logitech nice in my life and that would be every mouse I’ve owned since 1995 and only one of those actually died. People complain about their razer mice lasting 3 years and then go out and buy another one as if that’s normal meanwhile you can easily get 5+ years out of a logitech mouse.

Their search isn’t great, I get better results using site:archive.org on Google

Summer 2005 had a pretty bad lineup and I got busy with life stuff. Dropped everything that wasn’t bleach and eureka 7. Got back into it 4 years later and haven’t stopped since other than last season when I was too in to the red rising book series but I’m catching up on that now.

Yeah, I got a 14tb drive back in February and it’s 90 percent full already. My media collection will always grow to fill the space available.

Maybe it’s because I grew up with 8 and 16 bit rpgs but I despise level scaling. It really takes the enjoyment out of playing for me so I just don’t play games that have it. Some games have min and max enemy levels based on location but others keep the enemies in lock step to you and it just makes playing the game feel pointless. In either case, every game with level scaling would be better without it.

My icq# was 4706179 and I doubt I’ll ever forget it.

Helium 3 is what we’re planning to use in fusion, that’s the point.

For me it’s near the top on the apps homepage. Looks like this

I’d argue that xcloud and gamepass are equally disruptive to the industry. In either case you don’t own the games and they are tied to a subscription. Whether the game is running locally or in remote hardware doesn’t change how it impacts development and sales of games.

Cloud based gaming is not going to replace owning hardware unless they can ensure sub 20ms response time for every and I don’t belive that target is feasible but either case is bad for gaming as a whole. Games with 100 million dollar budgets are never going to see a positive ROI on services like gamepass and are reliant on gamers being willing to pay full price at launch.

My point is that Gamepass and similar services will kill AAA games if they become the primary way people access games and that is something that is best avoided. Games need a 6-12 month buffer to hit sales targets before they are considered for subscription services, otherwise the entire business model will fall flat on its face and take gaming with it.

YouTube music has something like this. You choose a few artists you like then tune the randomness of what it plays. I have discovered more new artists Ina few months of using it than I have in the decade before that.

MS surprise launched hifi rush with zero marketing, put it on gamepass day 1 then complains it didn’t meets ales expectations and shuts down the studio that made it. Now, 48 hours later, they are saying they need more games like that.

It may not be directly referenced in the article but cloud gaming was absolutely a part of what led to the closure of tango gameworks.

I usually don’t care much for streamers but Wirtual is amazing. He’s a talented player in his own right but also does a great job explaining the nuts and bolts of the game. I’m still a mediocre trackmania player (odd since I am usually very good at racing games) but his videos have taught me a lot.
