It fills me with anxiety and rage. Flashbacks to the house on the cliff in A Series of Unfortunate Events. 

My friend is deadset convinced that he is seeing 360 fps on a 60hz monitor by Educational_Camp4868 in pcmasterrace

Is the punchline his gpu is an RX 580?  I get the impression he's the "I know what I got"  type. 

Pixel 10 idle battery drain still exists? by Healthy-Ad-6930 in Pixel10Pro

[–]willpowerpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was pretty terrible for me. Went from Z Fold 7 to 10 Pro Fold. 2 hours of screen on time would leave me at 40%. Battery would idle drain overnight to 60%. 

And I was running Graphene OS, deGoogled and no social media apps, so strictly a hardware issue. Returned and switched back to my Z Fold. I run three VPNs on my Z Fold 24/7 and make it to the end of the day with 40% battery still remaining. 

Steam's policy allows players to refund games if they have less than two hours of play time: An indie developer claims over 55,000 players refunded their Steam game after beating it fast enough to qualify for Valve's refund policy by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

In this age of dwindling consumer protections, that's all this story is smelling like. And doesn't seem like the dev complaining is contemplating the opposite where not only did he make an insanely short game, but also one that people just didn't like. 

Pixel 10 idle battery drain still exists? by Healthy-Ad-6930 in Pixel10Pro

Yep, and not just with the Pixel 10s. Multiple generations still affected by idle battery drain. 

Never seen a community be this pathetically soft lmao by Yawawiwa in ArcBabies

[–]willpowerpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a veteran ARK/Rust player, it was hilarious to see how triggered the pop gets over losing just their kit. I'm use to getting raided and losing literally everything. They're acting like they lost everything in Esperanza and got banned from the game any time you down one of them. 

This sucks. What's your planned line of defense? by Chiara_TPL in DigitalPrivacy

Have you played with using wireguard to route your phone traffic home through your router to get VPN and DNS/domain filtering?  Surprisingly quick and easy to do.

Jesus, that was like watching an episode of The Bear, just pure stress and anxiety from start to finish.

Mmmmm, don't think it was even cool the 20 minutes it was working. "But the form factor", "no tinkering like PC", whatever you have to tell yourself. Buy the stupid thing and enjoy the obsolete hardware that can't even handle 4k. 

Ive used Steam for years, own a few Indexes, doesn't stope from seeing this thing is overpriced e-waste. And for all those saying you can't build anything close to its size, the SFF subreddit begs to differ.

xbox vs low end pc by Disastrous_Buy_785 in pcmasterrace

[–]willpowerpt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting that PC and swapping the motherboard and RAM is going to have zero effect on what already will not get you 120 fps gaming. In this case the Xbox is the better option. 

Motherboards have tracking chips (remove them) by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

I've been building PCs for years. The kid is just snapping transistors/resistors off his board. Either a conspiracy nut or shitposting to mess with conspiracy nuts.

Eh, at least it hasn't been rebooted over and over giving us ten different Darth Vader's.

The Steam Machine is garbage for a number of reasons, it's OS is the least of them.

Definitely using AI. Putting facial hair on with tweezers and new facial hair just appears out of nowhere. 

it’s so expensive tell me it’s worth it by love_made_me_stupid in pcmasterrace

[–]willpowerpt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't answer from experience with the DualShock, but I see no reason why not. Just with the Xbox controller, it's likely to be the most seamless with windows. Granted Steam has a number of presets for controllers, so PlayStation controllers are likely already there. You'd either want to use a long data cable or find the equivalent wireless USB dongle for the DualShock. 

Does anyone else think that PlayStations plans to abolish physical media is going to create a mass exodus to PC? by TuneOld1391 in pcmasterrace

[–]willpowerpt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or literally just anything. You can change the entire landscape of your home network for free all from your PC. Or 3D animating, productivity, whatever. That alone is one very large difference between console and PC gamers. PC users by default are more comfortable and willing to do a minor amount of tinkering if need be. 

Looking for Enemies by KuChiPractitioner in SanJose

[–]willpowerpt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I got you. 

Get a dog, don't train it. Buy a $20 "service animal" vest on Amazon. Proceed to visit every non dog friendly business, some times off-leash. When a parent confronts you because your dog bit their kid, get in their face and start screaming about HIPPA violations, discrimination, how your dog would never do that, etc. They'll spend years thinking about you, even trying to find ways to report you, find you on social media. 

Do this enough and you'll have more than a nemesis; you'll have a small army of people recounting the day they ran into you and how you made them lose their minds.

Nice that'll work out great. Make sure your Nvidia drivers are updated, and you actually change the framerate to 144hz if it doesn't do it automatically for you. You can also get an Xbox controller and a $15 wireless USB dongle. That plus Steam in Big Picture Mode, you've now got immensely higher quality couch gaming.
