Oh I agree with you, I was just adding onto your point to the person you're replying to. There's plenty of options in the cloud gaming space but they're not doing well enough to impact traditional gaming where you run the game on your own hardware which they were worried about.

There's also GeForce Now and they seem to be doing okay but at supposed 25 million registered users, that doesn't seem like that much all things considered. For comparison, I can't get the number of registered Steam users but they alone have around 30 million concurrent users on a typical day.

There's a huge difference between game pass and cloud gaming though. The way things are, cloud gaming isn't gonna take off for a long time. And game pass games aren't exclusive to game pass,i very much doubt it would make much financial sense to do that either as things are right now. Game pass and game sales aren't mutually exclusive. Most people are still more than willing to pay full price for games rather than renting it except in certain situations.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Am I the only one that felt Hi-fi Rush was a disappointment? I played plenty of rhythm games and Hi-fi Rush just felt off throughout, landing beats didn't feel satisfying and it felt off sync at timee. The story was well I can see people liking it but it felt too Disney-ish and cringe for me. I couldn't get past playing it after the 2nd level.

It's an interesting concept but I can't call it a good game.

That phone still has the best image stabilisation I've used. I could take pictures while walking and the pictures it took were never blur.

When they compromised on their UI design to make it more like Android and iOS in WP10, it was already over. It was also such a buggy mess compared to WP8.1.

What a shame.

Games. I have a Steam Deck so yea I get that Proton works really well now but it's still not perfect. And also I write software for customers that use Windows so ¯(ツ)/¯

12 is a stretch but the person I replied to said 8 hours which is pretty doable. I was working on building a game engine in Visual Studio which is something I'd consider intense. Granted my model is the 2021 version and AMD has made greater strides in efficiency since, I wouldn't be surprised if the newer models can go a bit longer.

Isn't the point to ruin the view with the net? A longer stick ain't gonna help here.

I'm guessing this for the US market? I had a completely different experience in Singapore and it was perfectly fine.

My Zephyrus G14 could do that too while running Visual Studio. AMD's mobile chips are also pretty efficient and Windows laptops are not as far off from Macbooks in terms of battery life as people think.

Yea I wasn't a fan of it initially coming from C++ and C# but it is growing on me. There's a lot of neat concepts. I just wish it'd allow me to put curly braces on the next line.

My 2009 Macbook became slow as heck after installing Mountain Lion on it 4 years after I got it, taking half an hour to even boot up. Ironically, Windows on it was a lot more usable. I agree that yea, there are cheap Windows laptops that are pretty bad but all the laptops I've had after that which I paid similar or slightly less for, have been far more reliable and longer lasting than my Macbook ever had.

And as for complaints, doesn't that really depend on what you're used to? Every time I have to use a Mac, I find a quirk that I can complain about every other minute but that's just because I'm used to the Windows workflow or Linux where I can modify it to work the way I want it to.

That was what 10X was supposed to be. It was supposed to be practically a full rewrite of the OS to shake off all the legacy cruft with support for existing Win32 apps through containerization. It was dropped along with the Surface Neo and they shifted their focus to Win 11 instead which is a real shame.

the fact that I can put the Deck into sleep mode at a moment's notice, the fact that I can take it on a plane or to another city and still play things from my library

This is the largest thing for me. It's insanely convenient just like the switch when taking the train or the bus, except that I have a full library of my Steam games and it runs way better.

I'm pretty sure BetterDiscord or Vencord would very quickly add in a plugin to disable those ads.

AI of Elisabeth was laughable compared to games like The Last of Us

Having played both, I can't say I understand the differences here. Do you mind elaborating? I found Elisabeth a lot more helpful than Elie and to be honest, I can't remember Elie having any impact on my gameplay off the top of my head.

I second this, the wider ones are so much more comfortable to use and do a great job.

However, to me it's hypocritical to justify not having children by essentially claiming that their life wouldn't be worth living but at the same time you yourself continue your existence here.

I don't think it's hypocritical. To create new life and to sustain life are two different things. While there's a certain relevance, the act of creating life has more to it than simply sustaining life. Sustaining maintains the status quo which while not ideal, the opposite also means ending a life which has far greater implications that are closer to ending life.

It's not hypocritical to think that bringing someone to life might be a net negative and also agree that to stop continue living would result I'm a net negative because of reasons like how there's people who are reliant on them.

Tell that to the huge amount of gullible older ethnic Chinese people who've been receiving all sorts of China propaganda. As someone who's living in Singapore and witnessed so much of this, it's disgusts me what they're doing.
