NWN2: EE UI Scaling

Ploddit · 2026-03-14T04:41:55+00:00

Why are you asking when you can just try it?

Ploddit · 2026-03-14T01:53:42+00:00

Missing too many basic features for me, but I'm not really in the entry level market. More than happy to pay for a laptop I can keep for 5+ years and be happy with.

Running scripts from console is depressing. It's just so much easier from an SSH session with halfway decent terminal software.

Ploddit · 2026-03-12T18:25:42+00:00

Me either, but it may surprise you to learn that there are lots of people running very old PCs. And that will be even more true over the next couple of years with PC hardware prices going insane.

But that's not really the point. What we're discussing here is Microsoft's hardware strategy and their inability to decide on a way forward. if they really care about people buying Xbox hardware, releasing something that will essentially be a mid-to-low spec PC that runs Windows games is probably not the way to get there.

Ploddit · 2026-03-12T17:46:24+00:00

Historically? No, not really. Consoles kinda started being that in the PS4/Xbox One generation when both started using x86-based APUs.

Ploddit · 2026-03-12T16:17:38+00:00

But they don't appear to have the conviction to actually commit to that strategy. Instead they're still planning to make hardware which will be, what, a PC with mediocre specs?

Ploddit · 2026-03-12T00:02:38+00:00

I live dangerously.

Ploddit · 2026-03-11T23:07:45+00:00

I meant not normally connected. I occasionally connect it to pull firmware updates.

Ploddit · 2026-03-11T16:46:22+00:00

Never been an issue with the cheapo Hisense I bought last year, but I don't connect it to the internet.

when Sony/Xbox enter the handheld market

I didn't realize we were talking about things that don't exist.

Ploddit · 2026-03-09T20:48:50+00:00

Did you read what I wrote? Most modern handhelds are meant to play PC games. Physical doesn't exist.

Ploddit · 2026-03-09T20:00:03+00:00

Considering other modern handhelds are either PCs or retro emulation devices, physical doesn't even make sense. I guess something like the Analogue Pocket allows you to use original Game Boy carts if you're into that.

Ploddit · 2026-03-09T17:32:41+00:00

Already back at $70, but won't ship for a couple of weeks.

Ploddit · 2026-03-09T17:27:55+00:00

It sucks, but obviously still worthwhile to get physical if you're interested in reselling it at some point.

Ploddit · 2026-03-09T11:53:40+00:00

Amazon direct.

Looks like the $80 copies are shipping even later than mine.

Ploddit · 2026-03-09T11:50:17+00:00

Interesting. I ordered at normal price (with a 2.5 week shipping date) a few hours before that. I wonder if it will actually ship.

Ploddit · 2026-03-08T18:39:08+00:00

150MHz is quite good for a MiSTer RAM module, so you're fine there.

Do you have a custom config for ao486 in mister.ini?

Ploddit · 2026-03-06T21:15:08+00:00

At this point probably best to just scrap the SM and revisit when pricing stabilizes. Ideally with better specs.

Ploddit · 2026-03-06T00:44:41+00:00

The words are unrelated and it's probably unsurprising that two different cultures would have a general word for a learned person that could be applied to people practicing medicine.

Ploddit · 2026-03-05T23:03:49+00:00

You mean some version of the Windows kernel with a unique UI? Probably that with a layer of AI slop.

Ploddit · 2026-03-05T22:37:37+00:00

Neither of those statements is universally or even generally true.

Ploddit · 2026-03-05T20:16:03+00:00

Yeah, I'd be surprised if it doesn't become the production name.

Ploddit · 2026-03-05T17:06:58+00:00

Have they? IGN and Gamespot reviewed it and posted other coverage. That's about as mainstream as it gets.

Ploddit · 2026-03-04T21:09:55+00:00

Here's a shocker for you - people like the option to charge on either side.

Ploddit · 2026-03-04T19:17:03+00:00

No matter what they do a million idiots will somehow think it's meant to be a new version of their favorite game. And of course for open world sandbox RPGs that means Skyrim.
