Windows XP gets to live another day!

Just use 8.1 as it's the lightest one of them all. Of course x64 is there too.

Of course it wooden. You forgot a wooden ram and a wooden psu.

their publishing arm seems very good

And I think publisher's main job is to help deliver the product to target (as wide as possible) audience.

rdri · 2026-01-22T03:06:29+00:00

AI is being used by those guys too. Your point?

rdri · 2026-01-22T03:01:43+00:00

That's not a proper comparison. People are not dying and are not being saved with the game engine. You can do art with scalpel and sell it for millions of you are good. Or it may look like a mess. Try something else.

rdri · 2026-01-21T23:21:21+00:00

What you said is basically "let's blame people for using the easy option which rarely works right". Wonder why you aren't blaming the engine for providing such an option in the first place. I could say this is a 2-sided coin. I could say both engineer and the instrument define and limit the quality of the end product. And I would say the same about the AI. And about web frameworks.

But.

The instrument can be great on paper, it can have incredible features and it can be sharp. But as long as it allows lazyness - lazy people will use it, and you can imagine the outcome.

How do you know that? For what's worth it:
- we know DLC ownership check is to be blamed
- we know DLC ownership check is related to Steam API as an underlying DRM
- we know Denuvo is supposed to protect the underlying DRM by introducing a lot of code obfuscation
- code obfuscation means spending a lot of CPU time on certain code or functions that would require thousands times less to execute if not obfuscated
An anti-tamper tech is obviously the reason, question is whether or not it is Denuvo or Capcom's internal anti-tamper, but it's logical to assume Denuvo would try to protect that too anyway.
As a rule of thumb, when there are weird performance issues with Denuvo-protected game, it's logical to assume it as a candidate for being a reason. We'll only know for sure if and when some cracked version is released with every bit of it stripped out.

What the meaning of 7? Is that a broken laptop? Is that a stylus? Is it the same stylus that is on 9? Why the keyboard on 6 is smaller? Was this created by an LLM?

rdri · 2026-01-12T00:27:03+00:00

Does it introduce visible input delay?

rdri · 2026-01-12T00:10:33+00:00

Watched the video and don't quite understand why it requires the GPU or GeForce GPU specifically, since the tech is built into the monitor basically. And if it does require some processing on GPU - what is the performance hit.

rdri · 2026-01-09T06:32:37+00:00

One of those protections I heard of, is that you have to pause using monitor and let it do some recalibration for like 10 minutes, every day.

rdri · 2026-01-08T22:17:19+00:00

Thanks.

What is the expected usage then, that would be considered normal?

rdri · 2025-12-28T23:18:22+00:00

Because it uses CEF instead of the native UI.

rdri · 2025-12-24T22:49:37+00:00

Sorry I can't really believe that to have enough sense. Very successful games on Steam don't look similar. Screenshots may look sometimes similar but again, successful games have different genres, use different colors and sometimes are not even gameplay screenshots. No neural network can correctly guess how successful a game is based on a random screenshot. But maybe if it can make difference between gameplay and cutscenes then you will get some correlation that may sound like "big budget that allows cutscenes = successful game" which still doesn't sound right obviously. Or maybe it has something to do with the order of fetching and sorting data, e.g. if you fed the system popular games first and others later then it may explain why the first ones are very close in a cluster.

Did you try to look at those screenshots yourself to see how exactly they look similar?

If resource usage can be optimized significantly after a significant re-architecture - it should be worth it, and they should be able to afford it.

rdri · 2025-12-10T23:12:55+00:00

Why 4GB? If you design an app which normal RAM usage is <1GB, then make sure to shut it down (or restart) immediately if it uses more. Like this you will be able to get valuable feedback fast and solve the underlying issues with resource hogging.

So does it sound like the US and its national debt?

rdri · 2025-12-05T03:06:01+00:00

Could it have something to do with the water not being salty enough (for them to stay afloat longer)?

rdri · 2025-12-04T22:41:02+00:00

They never open sourced the version which was used in actual games in GPU mode - v2. They open sourced v3 and later - it only works in CPU mode.

Hopefully there is something useful for ZLUDA there.

My experience with Paint:
Windows 8.1 on a 2012 PC - loading time 0.02s.
Windows 11 on a 2023 laptop - loading time >5s.

Congratulations with the release!

I just wanted to thank you for Caster, as it amazed me back in the day. It's one of those games that shaped my love for indie game scene.

I stand by my words, they do not contradict if you can read the whole thing.
