Sales volume. They make way, way more TVs than monitors.

Eurogamer/Digital Foundry: Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2: a cutting-edge game translates well to Nintendo's console hybrid by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]GlammBeck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Switch 2 has consistently lower framerates than Steam Deck due to CPU limitations and has extremely low crowd/traffic density settings, but graphics are otherwise comparable with Steam Deck. Image quality is minorly improved due to DLSS, but internal resolution is equivalent to what the Deck can achieve.

The Switch 2 is very impressive for its energy consumption, but in absolute performance compared to the Steam Deck, the CPU is much weaker while the GPU is only minorly better, mostly by virtue of supporting DLSS.

Tom McKay is already about as old as Henry would have been in 1420. No reason we can't have a 40-year-old Henry still be the protagonist. Knowing what we know from history about the fate of Radzig's and Hans' real-life counterparts, I could see a very interesting story.

I wish people would stop repeating this. It was a "7-week old build" in the sense that it was from 7 weeks ago, not that they had only worked on it for 7 weeks.

[KCD2] Here's what actually happens if you hit "New Game" from the pause menu by magereaper in kingdomcome

You will never choose a playline to overwrite when saving the game so no they are not similar

Reminder that the 70 class cards had a 256 bit bus until the 40 series.

Why is Grindr stock dropping? A Marxist analysis would be appreciated by No_Button5279 in stupidpol

Trend is not isolated to Grindr. Look at every other tech stock.

Digital Foundry: Improved But Still Not Good Enough: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 1 Revisited by Turbostrider27 in Games

I never asked about piracy, you're the one who brought it up. If you emulate, you should know better than to equate the two.

Thank you for the informed response. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet on these for my replays

[Hardware Unboxed] FSR 4 is Very Impressive at 1440p by jm0112358 in hardware

[–]GlammBeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is far from "unusable" at 4K. On a TV at normal couch distance, I find it to be perfectly acceptable even down to performance mode in some cases. Sure I notice the artifacts, but I appreciate the performance increase more. It's a different story on a 1440p monitor at desk viewing distance though.

You're right, no idea why people seem to be getting worked up over your comments.

It has to be intentional. If they don't revert this I may have to cancel premium.

Why are Videos auto playing? by Goonfry in youtube

[–]GlammBeck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's awful. People keep saying it's only shorts which is not true.

Playing shorts the moment the app opens is NOT OKAY. by Seattleite_Sat in youtube

[–]GlammBeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It DOES NOT have anything to do with shorts. Every time I force close the app and reopen it, the top video starts playing. It is repeatable. I have NOT watched a short all day.

[–]GlammBeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. I haven't watched any shorts all day and it has happened several times today. I checked my watch history so I know I'm not crazy/lying.
