- Comment on Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again' 3 weeks ago:
Lest there be any doubt about his motivations, Musk wrote in another post, “Can’t they just make good games and skip the woke lecture?”
I assume we’re all done with pretense and he’ll just go ahead and call it “Bigot games”.

I know you’re going to get downvoted to oblivion, so I’m reaching out to say that I am with you on this completely.
The edgelord “I’m a 90’s kid look how sarcastic and obnoxious I can be I don’t even care (but actually I deeply fucking care)” marketing is terrible. I refuse to buy anything from them on general principle.

Finally a use for AI I can approve of.

Like less than a month ago.
- Comment on Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives 6 months ago:
I used bazzite on my ROG Ally for a couple of days before I went back to windows because it didn’t reliably work. Crashes abound and some games that work fine on my Steam Deck just refused to open.
Hopefully one day it gets ironed out.

Honestly it sounds like you’re more interested in winning what you think is an argument than the substance of what I was saying.
A PS5 out of the box gives you a 4k picture at 60fps for many games using clever techniques that the average end user doesn’t care about in the slightest. That should be the benchmark.

MiniPCs are surprisingly good at this price point; good enough that I would say for most people’s average use case they would be satisfied.
I’d like to see them get more popular.

Well… you were responding to a post by me… which had no mention of “native” anything.

On the ps5: FF14, borderlands 3, Monster Hunter: World, Destiny 2, Metro Exodus, Far Cry 6, Resident Evil: Village, etc…
Most of them run dynamic 4k so there is periodic upscaling which is seamless in my experience.

I’ve tried this, and I think it’s worth providing a more powerful console if playing on the tv is your primary use case.
It works fine but it doesn’t really hold up to the 4k 60fps HDR experience that most people are getting used to from the main console makers.

Remember folks, it’s a crime to force a baker to bake a cake for a gay person, but totally fine to force a company to employ a bigot against their will.

My two refund rejections from steam disagree with you.
