  • With the exception of fortnite (fuck you, it's fun in no build mode) I do almost all of my gaming for the past few years on my steam deck. The control making and gyro is insanely customizable and the instant suspend/resume is a massive boon to my lifestyle as an adult that often has limited time windows.

  • You're just speaking of dedicated emulator systems? I'd agree with those numbers of yours then. I was just speaking of what people use to emulate old games in general. Almost everyone just uses a pc, laptop, or cell phone. The numbers for dedicated systems that look like retro Gameboys and stuff like that are outnumbered by like 100 to 1.

  • Yeah? Why not name out the times a significant change happened without violence, and we'll compare it to the number of times it took violence. Special hint: One of these is MUCH larger than the other. Hell, like 100 people were killed over a few days just to get the US down to a 40 hour work week.

  • The difference in efficiency is actually less than 5% for r32 compared to 410a. The offshoot of that is also that the compressors will not last as long because they run like 20f hotter. The 4%ish efficiency gain is also not enough alone to meet the new requirements, so it still falls back to a larger surface area needed on the A coil. The efficiency standards that were being put in place are simply too big of a jump in too short an amount of time. It's not like everyone doesnt already want to save money on their heating and cooling costs, but requiring homes already built to deal with the fallout of having to install units that won't fit in their homes is a shit move. I don't have anywhere I could even take away from to make my utility closet any larger. Requiring the new standards in newly built homes wouldn't be as big a deal, as it can be planned and built for, but some people will have to buy used hvac units, keep their current ones running as replacement costs shoot sky high (working control boards for some old units can fetch $800. Same issue with other parts and labor to keep them running), or give up and install window units that are way, way, less efficient.

  • For hvac heatpump units, the newer efficiency standards getting met was going to have to reduce air resistance on the A coil, and allow more air to contact the A coil as it blows by. To make that happen, you need a larger A coil, which of course, takes up more space.

    So when I say bigger, I'm not talking about the fans or pumps getting larger. I'm talking about space that non moving parts take up that the air goes by to get hotter or colder.
