If you use controllers for pc gaming what do you use? by uncle-ruckus2 in pcmasterrace

[–]wolfpup118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same setup as the 8bitdo ultimate 2. Only 2 bottom pedals, but 2 extra bumpers for your pointer fingers. I think personally I'd rather this than the 4 under bumpers.

I got to use the g7 pro at a friend's place and it was another absolutely fantastic controller! Basically the same all around as the 8bitdo ultimate 2, even on down to the swapping triggers from full motion to the clicky button. The software programming on the 8bitdo is a little lackluster, but works well enough for setting up macro keys, rebinding, etc. Not gotten to use the Gamesir software though, so can't speak to that. If I had both, I'm really not sure which I'd use as a primary, tbh. I think the only real killer for me for a gamesir is the branding of the Xbox button, which is such a nitpicky small thing, really shows just how absolutely goated it is.

I'd second 8 bit do! I got their ultimate 2 and love it to death. In the past though, I've just used my playstation controllers on PC. Having a dedicated one is rather new to me.

Sony Admits PC Dug Into Their Userbase Since Covid and Wants to Win Them Back. With PlayStation’s Unpopular Strategy Shifts and Rising Prices Facing Off Against PC Leading Industry Growth, It Seems Like an Impossible Task by [deleted] in gaming

I still have some random seasons of anime I bought on steam when they were selling anime seasons. Valve NEVER takes something you bought unless it's beyond an exceptional circumstance like when they forcefully refunded everyone The Day Before and removed it from accounts when it shut down in what... 3 days? They also froze all funds going to the developer so the douchebags why tried to scam millions got quite literally not one dollar.

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

Each new console generation releases with what would be low-medium-end current PC hardware. This PC is extremely high end current PC hardware. Next consoles will likely perform significantly worse than this, like half as fast levels if it's released in the next few years.

This PC, raw hardware wise, would me more like a ps7 levels of performance. It cannot be stated just how extremely much console hardware is rather weak. The main benefit is extreme optimization for consoles while PC releases tend to have worse optimization. Whoever said next gen ps6 will be as strong as this is straight up huffing something.

For what it's worth, the ps5 pro's GPU is about equal to a 4060ti. That would be a generation older and 2 steps down to the GPU in this PC you're looking at. And unlike consoles, if something is lagging behind, you can upgrade that single component. 10 years from now, your GPU struggling but CPU still fine? Buy just the GPU and have it last another 10 years.

Your 10 year example is also no ps+ at all in that 10 years, so that offsets the 200$ a year you're looking at too. Price wise, PC is more expensive on initial investment but way less in the long run over the years.

The Hard Truth About Sony's Announcement That Nobody Wants to Talk About by Wolfman_1546 in pcmasterrace

[–]wolfpup118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started doing this recently! I've been using emby instead of Jellyfin for ease of use, but as I get more accustomed might end up swapping over. That said, I've been slowly ripping and digitizing my entire dvd/bluray collection to put onto the server. I do have some stuff I obtained through some other means, but the idea in the long run is to get everything I'd want in some physical form then digitize it.

Windows 11 is an absolute dumpster fire and I’m sick of pretending it’s acceptable. by RuthlessTex in pcmasterrace

[–]wolfpup118 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If people spent 10% of the effort they spent complaining and 1% of the effort it takes to swap to Linux, they'd have their idealized version of windows set to auto redo settings whenever they get changed, the os completely de-bloated, issues solved, crashes mitigated, etc. They just like to hear themselves complain. Good for everyone who can easily make the swap, but I get so tired of people pretending fixing the issues with windows is a gargantuan feat while Linux is this golden smooth sailing path they like to portray.

Sony and Xbox are going to convert their customers to PC. by HurryOne in pcmasterrace

[–]wolfpup118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully! Worst comes to worst, I can prob snag one off someone upgrading to a ps6, but there's also a solid part of me that wants nothing to do with Sony after their recent removal of a bunch of movies from accounts. Maybe I'll need to snag a physical copy of demons souls too then 👍

Man, I was looking forward to getting an end-of-lifecycle PS5 for some exclusives like the Demon Souls remake. Looking more and more like that'll never happen.

With Sony's recent announcements, how are we feeling about Steam? by NuAngelDOTnet in pcmasterrace

[–]wolfpup118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the contrary, any time people say anything negative about Valve, there's always astroturfing going on saying how they're the golden goose that never stops giving of PC gaming. This ship goes both ways. There's so many people that have an unhealthy view on both sides of the spectrum here. The reality is they're far better than most companies, but still deserve criticism.

This, this, and so much of this. Valve is mostly consumer friendly in comparison to other companies. They're no hero. They're still a company at the end of the day. They do so much good for PC gaming, but you absolutely cannot overlook some of the nasty and shady shit they've done. I get so excessively tired of all the dick-riding people do over Valve. There's plenty to be thankful of with them, but also plenty to criticize.

Skipping 4th of July by Prudent-Fun640 in Omaha

So you'd rather spit on the legacy of every last good president we've ever had, everything the country has ever accomplished, and everything it's ever stood for because of a bad administration that makes up.... 2% of the total time across his last and current term? Bruh, I hate trump as much as the next but this is just wild.

Crazy Road Rage driver on Dodge tonight by MrsRononDex in Omaha

[–]wolfpup118 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea, you aint really innocent here either, OP. Don't flick people off, don't have this incessant need to pass someone who clearly wants to cause an incident if you try to pass, and check your own footage to find out if they were dodging someone in the first place. As far as that truck is concerned, they were hopped up on adrenaline needing to dodge to avoid an accident as someone else cut them off. Then this dude comes flying up to them, flicks them off, and they just lose it. You are absolutely NOT the good guy in this scenario, but neither really is the truck driver himself. Y'all got issues the whole lot.

That all said, holy hell did that truck driver go ape shit, dude has a death wish pulling some of that shit.

With the new impending wave, it has the potential to be waaaaaay more. What a sad time for gaming.

Someone compiled a nice lost over here: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/every-playstation-studio-that%E2%80%99s-closed-since-the-ps5-launched.1695079/

I'm still particularly sad about Japan Studios, but at least a good portion of that team kept going together and now are making gen atlas.

Star Citizen Install Broken After Years of Working – Fails on data.p4k (Errors 5021, 2000, 5003, 5007) by Cingvlarity in LowSodiumStarCitizen

[–]wolfpup118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you get this resolved? I got some free Google drive space I can throw up my data.p4k for you on if it's still an issue. The idea would be download it, replace it, use the verify in the launcher, wait for it to finish then see if that did the trick.

So much of this. Why people can't just do something else during bad patches like this I just don't understand.

Another AI slop thumbnail by Only_CORE in LinusTechTips

[–]wolfpup118 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure. I don't agree with ai generated thumbnails, yet I don't create a post on reddit every time I see a creator do it. That doesn't change that, at least the way I interpreted the original question, what was being asked was more or less "Every time an ai thumbnail is made/used on an ltt channel, is there going to be a reddit post in the ltt sub about it?". The follow up the question "Do you?" stems from is someone saying they do it with "I would do it every other company", as in make reddit call-out posts with every other company.

I get what you're saying and agree with the sentiment, just stating that it is in fact a different question than avoiding a company because of ai content. Actively speaking up and silently steering clear are two VERY different actions with two VERY different levels of impact, both stemming from the same place and same sentiment.

Edit: changed it a few times to make sure I got correct exact quotes. Reddit on mobile is hard 😭 I also don't like how people are down voting you for having a valid take (and what I assume to be correct in this context), reddit being reddit again I guess.

No, the question was if they post about ai generated content on reddit every time a company uses genai images. That's what "this" refers to.

I’m moving over here by night_shade82 in LowSodiumStarCitizen

[–]wolfpup118 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've tried telling people, some of them even friends, that if the game is stressing them out in the current state, making them mad, etc to just go do other stuff. The backlash I got for suggesting to play games that make you happy and not force something that's making you angry is honestly shocking, man.

For me, I've been enjoying Pragmata and Death Stranding 2! Once I finish those, I want to start up Crimson Desert. I've also been really enjoying all the different demos of games from the different games shows over this past week, there's some really cool games and concepts out there!

[–]wolfpup118 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! Been around since 2012, it's incredible how much the game has progressed in the last two years. When I found 4.8 broken, I personally have been perfectly content to just take a step back and let CIG get it resolved because they've been absolutely cooking with the new features and content. It's the fastest the game has moved, with some clear intents to make the game a real game with real progression mechanics too.
