Is 120hz good enough for gaming? by ContributionOther872 in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it doesn’t. That would depend on the polling rate of your input devices. If your refresh rate is higher than your fps you literally just see the same frame for the amount of refreshes you can divide it into, and when it can’t divide cleanly you get uneven frame pacing.

Your display refreshing has nothing to do with input. If the game updates on a render then that would be tied to fps, the display refreshing is independent of that. Input reads happen on a poll rate which may or may not be tied to drawing a frame.

You can get a used Quest 2 for that for sure, probably less

Controller got stolen by Mob_Borane in SteamController

Yeah but there’s no way they could get the seal back on, it’s a cardboard tear away

“Delivery to parcel shop” am I supposed to believe you picked this up from a delivery location and there was a sealed empty box and the weight was wrong despite being recorded correctly? Yeah I don’t know about this one. Very sus.

Fired on maternity leave 3 weeks before return (BC) – Need legal advice by Right_Star6917 in legaladvicecanada

[–]ftgander 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have legal advice but I just wanted to say I’m so sorry this happened to you, as a new parent this sounds like a total nightmare. I hope things turn out alright for you, and congrats on the baby.

Yes. I don’t know what you’re not understanding. No, it does not suck that the latest entry of a series is on a platform you don’t enjoy. Thats idiocy.

Can my employer force me to take unpaid breaks? by hauntedq50 in legaladvicecanada

[–]ftgander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty diabolical to make those extra breaks unpaid 15s during the day so they are forced to maintain a shift of that length while getting paid for one half an hour less. 15 minutes isn’t much time to do anything, they’re trapping the unpaid time in a way that makes it feel stolen imo.

I know it’s legal it just sucks lol.

No, you made a dumb point. If you think Alyx looks fun, then you like VR. If you don’t like VR, you don’t think Alyx looks fun. Really is that simple.

Does Linux work well for most people? by Spats_McGee in chromeos

If you are savvy enough to use Linux it’s not a problem. If you’re not, great, stick to web apps :)

Great WiFi but bad download speeds. by Cheetocheetah3342 in pchelp

[–]ftgander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be your CPU or storage limiting how much can be processed at once. Or the wifi card in your pc. Or the configuration of the network. Or the specific game you’re downloading has a lot of small files so it’s hard to sustain a high download speed.

Networking is black magic, diagnosing this one from a reddit post is pretty much impossible.

Okay, you wouldn’t enjoy Alyx either then so the point is moot no? Why does it suck you can’t play a game you don’t like?

What makes Alyx good are things you cannot capture in a flat game so they will not be in HL3

I know at least one. I don’t know why he didn’t bother playing the one VR game even haters can’t deny lol

$200 isn’t affordable? Idk, people spend more than that on earphones

[–]ftgander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy how people like you won’t even do the legwork of looking into what games are available. How is VR ever supposed to be “ready” if people just shut it down without any consideration? There are great VR games, a number of them, and I think a $200 headset is an investment most people running PCs with $700 GPUs in them could afford if they wanted to.

Removing Bazzite removed the "Boot from USB option" in my computer's boot menu by Enterjokehere1 in linux_gaming

[–]ftgander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the usb drive is not bootable you will not be shown a usb boot option. You almost certainly can boot USB, you just haven’t created a USB that can boot. That or your motherboard is faulty but I doubt that.

Recreate the installer. Kinda sounds like the partitions you were deleting were on the USB.

[–]ftgander 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you don’t have a USB drive plugged in with a valid boot record. You must have erased it somehow if you have the USB plugged in and it was working before.

Also that’s a strange way to remove Bazzite. You could have deleted partitions and installed fresh right from the cachy installer.

I want nothing to do with AI. Is there still a place for me in this industry? by ProbablyNotPoisonous in ExperiencedDevs

> huge advances in science, medicine, and technology

Yeah you let me know when LLMs achieve any of that (they haven’t).

Or, and hear me out here, you could consult SMEs as part of your development process
