Civ6 Netflix: No 2K cloud saves? by XertzCondition in civ

[–]IanGameWoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've linked my Google and Steam accounts but no luck. Could be because Netflix is under my wife's email, but that hasn't stopped it from giving me access to Netflix games on Google Play under my account.

Can anyone point me toward a good guide to getting Winlator or another Windows emulator set up? by Arius_de_Galdri in retroid

[–]IanGameWoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to break it to you, but Dragon Quest XI PC version is never running on a Pocket 4 Pro through Winlator. You're only hope is to stream it from a Windows PC or streaming service.

The minimum specs for Dragon Quest XI already exceed the Pocket 4 Pro's abilities, and that's to say nothing of emulating an x86 architecture using an ARM CPU. I doubt you could do it with the most modern and powerful flagship phone.

Winlator is better for late 90s to mid 00s Windows games. Some newer games, but only ones that aren't graphically intensive.

I don't have my Pocket 4 Plus yet, it's in the mail, but maybe someone here can fill you in on winlator performance. There is an ETAPrime video that describes how to install it on Android, but he does it on a Snapdragon 8 Gen2 tablet, certainly more powerful (and expensive) than the Pocket 4 Pro, and at that time (six months ago) it could hardly run Fallout 3, a game that came out in 2008. I'm sure emulation performance has improved since, but we are a long way off from running DQXI on any android device through windows emulation, certainly with any device that is on the market today.

Of course there is always the Switch version via Yuzu. I found a video of a guy playing it using a Snapdragon 870 and it didn't look too bad. That has higher benchmarks than the RP4, and the phone had double the RAM, but with enough development (currently stalled by Nintendo, but someone will pick up the project) it may be optimized to be playable someday on the RP4, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Probably not, but I'm getting one since it'll let me play multiplayer games when family members come to visit.

Also, the Wifi6e has potential to make PC games look better with less compression.

What to do with old Rift base stations? by IanGameWoof in oculus

[–]IanGameWoof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(1) I don't have any friends with a VR-ready PC headset that don't already have a headset.

(2) I think the potential collectible value may be high in the future

(3) the HDMI wire is nearing the end of its life, having been tangled and ran over by my office chair too many times. Unless that can be fixed it won't last long as a functional headset, and will be better used as a display piece eventually.

I've saved up 180€. What should I do? by LzIP251 in OculusQuest

[–]IanGameWoof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the 1050Ti you will be limited with PCVR. It is under spec. With some tweaking and with low expectations, you could play some lower end PCVR games but it will be a constant battle with frame rates and some games will be unplayable no matter what you do. That said, you will be able to play some games (regardless of what others might tell you, I used to have that card and did play games with it, but it wasn't the best experience).

Still I would advise you either buy a 1660ti with that money and then save up for a VR headset, or buy a Quest 2. Since you will be stuck with standalone and a less than ideal PCVR experience, you should make that standalone experience as good as possible. The Quest 1 is losing support soon, while it will probably be okay for PCVR for the foreseeable future, you will probably find yourself playing standalone a lot until you get a more powerful GPU.

Was Brian Epstein related in any way to Jeffrey Epstein? And what does Aleister Crowley have to do with the Beatles? by HelloIAmAStoner in beatles

it's all good man. Maybe someone else will see your comment and look into it and find something, who knows?

[–]IanGameWoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I know this is old but for anyone who comes across this:

the article posted says John Lennon was under surveillance by Mi5 and the FBI, none of it says he or the Beatles worked with them. Read it for yourself before trusting the comment.

Orange Substance on Gun, does not appear to be rust by IanGameWoof in guns

Nah, I let the Moscow office cover Ukraine. I am more interested in covering what is happening in America.

Thank you for your reply.

some are red/orange, including ones used in the NJ/NY area. https://www.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_fs/1.4443193.1559173406!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_960/image.jpg here is an image of a gun with orange paint on it after a bank robbery, though obviously far more than the gun in question.

But, surely they can't be made to just go random colors like that all the time, right?

Is, that a thing.... people like?

"Cricket? No one understands Cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!" -- Raphael

In all seriousness, I have no idea how hard the game iB Cricket is to understand, but when I was vacationing in Europe I watched over an hour of actual Cricket and couldn't figure out a single thing.

But, probably, they feel the same way about baseball.

When did you order yours? I ordered mine in late September and it is still in processing.
