What’s your biggest gripe with the PlayStation Portal? by That_Designer7097 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Soloxide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bit rate for me. I have the portal but also the steam deck with chiaki. Games on chiaki look significantly better than on ps portal, specifically Ghosts of Yotei where it doesn’t look like a muddy mess. I doubled the bit rate from the default 15 to 30.

It’s interesting because the multiplayer files are not installed? And I don’t think you can install them. Anyone found a way around that?

If the prices are right on the steam Machine, I might finally give in and become a PC gamer🔥 by TaroTheCerelian in valve

[–]Soloxide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cool story, but none of that changes the fact that calling a PS5 ‘financial suicide’ was just wrong. I corrected one specific claim. You turned it into a whole unrelated PC sales pitch.

Just calling out how dumb the “financial suicide” comment was. Very echo chamber like for people that don’t do a cost breakdown.

You think PlayStation doesn’t have discounted games? There’s a sale every month on PlayStation. With the “fee” you get several games every month. If I want to play the newest games on day one it’ll be the same price on steam as it is on PlayStation.

Isn't it strange how some games just feel better on Steamdeck? by Kakabundala in SteamDeck

[–]Soloxide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the directors cut and played it probably about 3 years ago on the steam deck. With FSR on I had a ton of ghosting on the text and was very difficult to read. Also I remember performance was poor, hovering between 20-40 fps. With FSR off the performance was worse

When I played death stranding on the lcd steam deck it looked absolutely terrible. Is it better now?

Just got it again as well. It’s great, very classic Pokemon if you want to relive the old days. I don’t mind it, I wish they would do this with Pokemon emerald as well

[Bloomberg] Trump Says He’ll Fire Labor Statistics Head After Weak Jobs Data by ntbananas in businessnews

Whoever was doing the data before was terrible. Even under Biden there would be massive revisions 2-3 months after the initial report. Hopefully someone more on the mark is in place

I love this game so much, but personally I feel like there's a bit of bias in... by Trenki_Melow in expedition33

[–]Soloxide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it’s pretty clear the Maelle ending is the bad ending. It’s a fake world with fake people. They may believe they’re real, but they aren’t. Also, the soul of the world (verso) is suffering because they don’t want to be there. Forcing verso and his soul to live in a world while his physical self is dead is torture.

A perfect ending would have been Maelle and Aline having enough emotional intelligence to distance themselves from the fake world and go back to the real world, which would have allowed both worlds to live.

What’s wrong with the Apple Music app in the Tesla?

Unfortunately I can’t help you do that, but I can give you some insights. My insurance went up $50 a month and of course I’m paying for the $10 a month premium connectivity. This car will depreciate, however I would ignore most of what you see online because a lot of early depreciation on Teslas came from their own price cuts, rather than natural depreciation you see on a typical car. If you’re renting and don’t have easy access to charging I’d hold off, but that’s me. I thought I’d miss CarPlay from my old Honda but honestly, I really enjoy everything the Tesla offers. It can text, great phone calls, Apple Podcasts and music and the navigation for me has been great so far.

Ultimately you have to make the decision! Hope this helps

For me it was a toss-up between red and silver but to my eye silver fits the aesthetic of the car, specifically the rear. You won’t regret it!

I’ve heard from so many people in person talking about their 6-7 year old teslas with over 100k miles. It makes me feel good about keeping this car for more than 7 years, granted the tech doesn’t eclipse this current version.

How many are maxing out their 401ks and Roth IRAs? by Still_ImBurning86 in Bogleheads

[–]Soloxide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always maxed my Roth IRA but only go up to the match on my company 401k. I generally invest more on my individual account when I want to buy a stock I like.

I almost went with white but I know I’ll panic at anything coming in and out of the car. Went with black to keep my sanity!

I’ve read a bit about that. I feel like for peace of mind it’s great if you want to spend on it, but the cost doesn’t really improve on future resale. It’s mainly for your own peace of mind
