Me too! Like, are people just skipping all the cutscenes and dialogue? Following playthrough guides? Is there selection bias somehow?

I think they only do if you agreed to the privacy policy

Very much unrelated but I recently read samsung's smart monitor/tv privacy policy and it says they can record EVERYTHING you do on it and devices connected to it including programs or games you use and you can't opt out of this short of foregoing smart features (except screen casting) altogether. There's also an option (that doesn't look optional in their ui) that lets them automatically process that data.

I'd heard those things were ridiculous but didn't imagine this much

Spider Man 7

I would think the camera bar would make holding the phone easier, is that not the case? I have a note 20 ultra and I find cases with horizontal camera cover sliders significantly more comfortable to hold than those that try to make the camera bump less noticeable

Wow those camera bumps look so ugly. They had a nice look in the previous generations

Gpu brand shouldn't be a factor, just buy whatever's better value.

I've used nvidia on Wayland for a year and the issues are greatly exaggerated, and if you have a cpu with an igpu you can plug your monitor(s) into the motherboard to get around wayland-related ones (there's probably some latency impact for games but I can't tell).

Currently the problems (that I know of) with nvidia drivers are that colors get muted if you enable hdr, steam's web interfaces appear corrupted or flicker unless you resize them, there is no memory spillover to ram, and the nvidia 'x server' settings app doesn't support wayland.

And keep in mind that issues tend to get resolved over time. When I first built my PC the nvidia gpu would cause xwayland apps to flicker and didn't support nigth light or transparent panels in kde. The amd igpu would turn the screen pure white if I changed windowing related kde settings. These don't happen anymore.

Anyone wants to explain the niceness selector?

I was thinking of bank transfers and forgot about apple pay 😬

TLDW: Every lemmy rant about games and tech industry you saw made into a video.

Inb4 apple demands cuts from banks too

Yeah I'm glad reddit's comment culture didn't carry over

Austrian authorities are reported to have received information about the Swift concert threat from U.S. intelligence, as Austrian law does not allow the monitoring of instant messaging apps, which the suspects had used to communicate.

Ugh

If I only browsed my subscribed feed that'd maybe amount to to 5-10 minutes of stuff a day. On the other hand if I open the all feed there's an endless steam of the stuff I mentioned above. As I said, what's lacking isn't volume it's the content of the volume

I don't mean discussion about entertainment, I mean communities that entertain you like damnthatsinteresting, unexpected, nextfuckinglevel etc. And considering how much of their content is in video form, I don't think they can viably exist in lemmy.

memes are everywhere

Maybe generic and reposted memes are, but nothing of the sort of niche meme communities that constantly popped up in reddit

It's not the size, it's the content. Lemmyverse is a lot more serious and honestly, gloomy. Average age seems to be quite higher too. If all you used reddit for was news, politics, technical discussion and porn lemmy might be perfectly fine but there's way less meme or entertainment content here

different perspectives about how the core mechanics work

As you said, how they work. The description already tells me what the game is and I don't need a review reciting it a la "Shadow warrior is an action adventure fps game where you play as a ninja fighting against demons"

And people explaining what the game is instead of how the game is.

If you can just add a 7ms delay without noticing it as the solution suggests, latency doesn't sound that stringent. What the problem sounds to me like is that the headset doesn't support vrr so frames have to wait a whole frame time if they miss their window, and steamvr doesn't realise that's happening. Which wouldn't be a problem if this was managed by the driver instead

Why is this something valve needs to fix? For ordinary gaming gpu manufacturers already have latency lowering solutions that don't overshoot or require hard-coded values. What makes vr different?
