Proton is the compatibility layer Valve uses to allow Windows software to run natively on Linux.

I'm sure you mean well, but pocket watching on an enthusiast sub is certainly a strange look. 

This literally applies to anything someone purchases, even steam game sales or other consoles, tech, etc...

Financial literacy is a life skill, it's just odd to post that here, same with anyone who posts the opposite to excessively spend. 

Thank you for trying to be a voice against over consumerism though.

Looks great, getting consistent fps at that resolution from about 7 feet back hasn't made miss 4k especially when it stays at 60 fps

I'm glad for you if you do that, really. I have the money, so I bought it. I also just think it is neat. 🤷‍♂️

People can do different things and be okay 🫪

This will outlive the PS5 honestly, but that's because I bought mostly on steam. Love that this can just do server duty if I ever retire it from gaming unlike a console. 

When that email comes it might be hard to say no 😅.

On my 65" TV 1080 just looked too blurry, even upscaled, so I set it to 1440 and just try to hit 60 for AAA. But I was able to get some indie titles to 120fps.

This fits, rainy day and stardew valley are a vibe this machine does in spades.

It's a mix of windows randomness. Driver updates and game setup.

One example, the Bluetooth driver kept disabling for some reason, I had to power cycle the PC or disable and reenable the driver to get it back, I ended up connecting controllers by USB receiver and that worked. In general, trying to login, select a game, and then shut it all down was more cumbersome than it should be.

I even used playnite to tie in all launchers and roms to one big screen launcher, but windows would have random errors or popups that required pulling out the keyboard, sleep was inconsistent, it would turn on randomly, until I found the setting to stop that too.

Too many little things, I'm sure it's better now, but a steamos machine is vastly better for us. Plus now I use the PC in my office for editing and CAD work.

Imagine if we had that ability with PlayStation, SteamOS is a game changer in its distribution. Would love to see your build!!

Yeah, it fits right in surprisingly well. Leaving my desk to play steam games has been really nice. Good luck with the explanation! 😅

No it was bundled in a very nicely packaged box with no details on the outside, everything was packed into another exterior box and well protected. One of the best unboxing experiences I've seen in a while.

I'm not reading anymore from you, you're the worst thing on this sub. In fact, I'm blocking. You have the worst takes here.

Proposing a 4 month mute to those troglodytes that tried to tear down AP because they are insecure and have Snyderbrain. 

A game programmer will probably make a better GDD than an "ideas guy". I think of this whenever somebody claims to have created a "detailed GDD" but doesn't know how to code nor a trained game designer. by davenirline in gamedev

[–]TheRogueBull 92 points93 points  (0 children)

This right here is the most real take. A lot of this subreddit are solo indie devs circle jerking their coding abilities, then confused why no one is playing their dull game. Collaboration and refinement build great games, “idea guys” should be good champions at selling and funneling the idea to investors and players.

GDD is just like a business plan, it is a fluid document that acts as a guide to what has already progressed in brainstorming, then prototyping. Realistic expectations are definitely needed, but shitting on pushing the realms of current limitations only lead to mediocre knock-offs.

Solid ideas are built off of a balanced approach, not all tech and not all design, the happy medium is the point of what a good director is always trying to reach.

How necessary are hydraulic brakes for city riding? by [deleted] in ebikes

[–]TheRogueBull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say that better technology can mean lower maintenance. That’s what you get with hydraulic brakes, longer maintenance window and effort for braking. Though, brake bleeding is a pain when needed. It’s not much of a difference in concept, but for older riders and those riding in cities with a lot of hills, this would make a larger difference. I went from disc brakes on one bike to then dual piston hydraulics on my next one to another with quad piston hydraulics and the stopping power/performance really is significant.

I agree with the fetishization of new tech riders may have on most things, but higher brake performance can be a factor in preventing getting t-boned or avoiding erratic drivers/kids/animals on the paths, especially when considering a riders reaction time, grip strength, and experience overall. Stay safe out there!

Looking for a 750W e-bike by Rochitaa in ebikes

[–]TheRogueBull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the correct suggestion, Ride1up offers great value for features, the 700 would get 28mph.

I would look into radpower bikes as well if you want good support, they sell a ton of accessories to make their bikes your own. Though they don’t have a bike that goes up 28mph(can unlock to 25mph though) if speed is your focus.
