PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Forza Horizon 6 achieved a peak of over 273k players on Steam, three times more than FH5. Turns out well-optimised games with no Denuvo sell greatEnglish
2·4 days agoThat’s a bummer. FH5 runs great on my Steam Deck with FSR.

Technology@lemmy.world•X announces significant restrictions to free accounts; 50 posts and 200 replies per dayEnglish
71·4 days agoSince 2007 or so, I haven’t seen a good use case for Xitter other than situations where mass messaging is necessary. Like a utility company announcing maintenance or outages. Why do people care so much about what other people think?
My dear mother taught me that opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and they all stink.
Wise woman.

41·5 days agoExactly! They’ll cut jobs and trim the fat until they run out of half-assed, short-term methods of increasing quarterly profits year over year. Then they’ll remember PC gamers are almost exclusively adults and some of those adults have deep pockets and no interest in the closed ecosystems that consoles provide.
Just watch.

1·7 days agoI tried a few alternatives, but ultimately decided that the Stardock product offered the kind of customization I wanted along with ease of use. I think it was a good exchange of value for ten bucks.

41·7 days agoI’ve been purchasing separate start menu software since Microslop killed it in Windows 8. Start 11 from Stardock is worth the cost for me.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘A’ Grades Are Suddenly Everywhere Since the Arrival of ChatGPTEnglish
29·7 days agoThis happened to me. I was a pretty good kid; brainy too, but one history test kicked my ass. The teacher was the husband of my grandfather’s sister. A distant family cut me a break.
This phenomenon can continue into adulthood too.
However, after a certain point it’s not about the grades you make. It’s about the hands you shake.

Games@lemmy.world•What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?English
41·9 days agoIIRC that Tegra X1 chip was launched in 2015 so the Switch launched with an obsolete SoC. It’s surprising to see how much performance they’ve been able to wring out of that old tech for nearly a decade. Color me impressed.

Games@lemmy.world•What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?English
14·9 days agoThe Sega Game Gear. That sucker could drain six AA batteries in about three hours. Do you know how hard it was to find a place to buy AA batteries on Christmas day?
While a rechargeable battery pack fixed that problem, most of the games were garbage compared to the GameBoy. The first party games were the best, but most everything else was ‘meh.’
I never did get that TV tuner add-on either.





Good! Stop chortling America’s dirty balls and do something good for yourselves!
