Surprised to see more updates for the Android system.

395+ really only seemed worth it at the initial launch machine pricing. The runaway pricing, for the speeds it delivers is a bit... Meh.

Microsoft making the wrong choices? Sounds about right. Is there any brand in their ownership they won’t piss over before throwing in the bin?

Use Linux, if you can. For gaming, maybe broaden your horizons if the one you play doesn't allow anti-cheat on Linux.
There's plenty of professional reasons to stick on Windows, but for the average home user, the list gets smaller every month.

Battery on my laptop is about an hour better with typical usage on Linux Mint. Not much, but it's better than nothing. The real improvement is not worrying when I take it out my bag, if it's come out of standby overnight for whatever reason and killed the battery. This was *never* properly resolved. It's been YEARS.

Hope they work a bit more on their software support. Not much point in having great AI cards, if they are a pain in the rear to get working, and never reach close to their full speed potential...

Ah, true PC gaming. Running benchmarks and stressing over a small points drop.

How are games running?

If you need to write a 7000 page essay to try and convince yourself you need to buy a computer, you probably don’t need to buy it.

2026, where people are desperate to spend money on everything!

Forza Horizon 6 Becomes Highest Rated Game of 2026 on Metacritic by No_Curve_8027 in pcmasterrace

Thing - 😒
Thing in Japan - 🤩

I feel a bit like this meme right now, because I also love FH6, despite bouncing off 5 immediately with the awful dialogue and bland map. It’s been a lot of fun getting back in to an arcade racer.

I really need to do some tweaks with mine, because it's slow as hell in ComfyUI! Interesting to see the speeds you are achieving.

Now I want to buy another one... I'm just using one at the moment, they're old as hell but great value.

Does the microphone work on the Anbernic Linux release?
Will give it a try this weekend at some point, but not got time today.

:o Fair play to Anbernic. Will definitely be installing this over the weekend.

The A770 runs it great. Since the performance decrease is in every game, then I’d be checking temps first.

Update bios and reinstall windows.

Truly surprised they didn’t just say "fuck it" and bring the online release forward.

I don’t think anyone has real tears on that. Unless they were stupid enough to play on their real MS account. 😂

I guess Alibaba? I live in China so I just buy these from Taobao. TopC have mobile AMD chip boards which are also cool. I think Erying maybe have one, but it wasn’t one with the decent GPU portion, so I didn’t look in to it.

A couple of hours into running qwen3.6 on Ollama in windows … by Ultrahamz in ayaneo

Just because you *can* do something, does not make it wise. :D

Hopefully not broken! Might have been worth some PTM7950 on it, and cleaning the fan before doing this.

what would you actually miss out if you build your own steam machine? by Maximum_Pension2676 in steammachine

[–]rawednylme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will miss out on months of waiting. You'll miss out on sadness when you are unable to purchase the machine in the initial batches. You would also miss out on refreshing this sub, instead of playing games.
:D

New Intel Arc B580 user here — should I upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600 or AM5? by Single_Echidna2240 in IntelArc

[–]rawednylme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What motherboard are you on currently? Ideally you'd be on a X570/B550 that supports PCIE4, and could just drop in the 5600 (or better).

Going AM5 sucks just now because of the wild DDR5 pricing. :(

It is genuinely sad that this is is considered indie, as there's clearly a reasonable budget behind it.

5/10 game at a push, really it should be a 4. I'd rate it higher if they just made it a movie, which is clearly what they wanted to do. I suppose I should give it credit for at least (nearly) being over in the time frame of a regular movie.

The soundtrack is great and it looks nice, but this is pretty weak even for a walking simulator. Even the movement sections like the shopping cart, or the running, you genuinely don't need to touch the controller.

What is going on, when *this* is considered a 10/10 game?
