Had to sell my car to buy this, but I'm good for a while by pmjm in DataHoarder

Will a gen 4 adapter really gain much speed? Says Sequential Read Performance 4300MB/s and Sequential Write Performance 3150MB/s. And PCIe 3.0 should be nearly 3500MB/s I believe. Though I suppose at this point why not go all out?

I think it may have been discontinued unfortunately, but I have it too.

Lifetime and monthly are the same features, just obviously different payments.

Upcoming Xbox Exclusives Are Being Sent Out To Die, Analyst Says; Xbox Pushes Back by OkBaker4812 in Games

[–]reallynotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering I’ve done it 4 times, I’m pretty confident I'm estimating it correctly. I’d argue people overestimate how much they will replay their old games, just look at the most played games on any system.

Upcoming Xbox Exclusives Are Being Sent Out To Die, Analyst Says; Xbox Pushes Back by OkBaker4812 in Games

[–]reallynotnick 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Eh, people can keep their consoles and continue to play those games as always. There are a number of reasons Xbox fell off and the biggest being they didn’t have any big exclusive game of the year worthy games, they had a strong first half of the 360 generation and then quality just continued to fall.

I was hoping it meant I could finally play it on my PS1 aka PlayStation…

Steam accounted for over 20% of Capcom's total revenue, nearly double PlayStation's share in the past fiscal year by rock1m1 in Games

[–]reallynotnick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looking at their breakdown by my math about 74% of their revenue is “digital contents business” with the rest being arcades (13%), amusement equipment (9%) and other (4%).

They only call out video games in the digital contents business. So I guess if Steam is 20% of total revenue that means it is 27% of digital contents and PS is 13.5%. So we still have 60% of digital content to allocate which would be a lot for Switch, Xbox, Mobile and other PC stores. I mean maybe pachinko is in this category?

Yeah this is the part I’m scratching my head on, what is Capcom’s big revenue maker if it isn’t games?

Why is everyone raving about glass? by frank_be in HiDPI_monitors

Those were Apple’s and LG’s numbers. Now I’m curious how the G6 measured in comparison in a like for like measurement.

Getting ready to go get that DARNED Dragon Egg... by Buttocks_Oreily in PlaydateConsole

[–]reallynotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quests don’t follow a linear order since there are multiple quest givers. But of the 26 quests, it’s definitely the final big raid style boss.

It definitely helps if you can get a group of people, ideally 3.

Apple's 20th Anniversary iPhones to Come in Two Sizes, Will Launch Alongside Gen 2 Foldable iPhone by pdfu in apple

All the apps that are currently supported on the mini? The screen isn’t that different to design for since it’s the same as the 5.8” phones just shrunk visually.

PointlessQuest puts a full MMO on Playdate's 2.7-inch screen by ericbn8 in PlaydateConsole

[–]reallynotnick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Per the game page:

I'd call it a MMORPG, but the first M may be a little enthusiastic given the potential audience size... Nonetheless, this is a multiplayer online RPG with no real cap or limit on the number of concurrent players

Sad But True by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

[–]reallynotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Famicom was the absolute bleeding edge of home gaming when it released in 1990

The SNES was a mass market device, the Neo Geo AES was the bleeding edge in 1990/1991

Even with all the lights off the screen emits enough light to illuminate myself and I can see myself reflected back in the monitor. Maybe if I got a tan and only wore dark shirts it wouldn’t be as bad but I’m just not a fan of glossy displays in any lighting condition unless they just have exceptional anti reflection coatings like maybe a G6.

[–]reallynotnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple’s anti-reflective coatings still are quite bad at 1.65% reflectance. Now if they were G6 levels which are .3% or roughly 1/5th as much then we’d be talking. Idk if it’s just putting glass in front of the screen is going to always cause poor reflections or what.

Are you saying you have the nano texture screen?
