FYI, there’s a modern Descent-like game called Overload.

It has VR support.

Fun fact: Overload supports VR.

It didn’t make me motion sick, so I’m confident nothing ever will.

As we saw with Intel GPUs performance isn’t even the main issue, it’s the drivers. How many games will run on it without crashing or having bizarre performance problems?

You don’t understand: when they say truthful, they mean agrees with Trump.

Granted, he disagrees with himself constantly when he doesn’t just produce a word salad so this is harder than it should be, but it’s somewhat doable.

The whites are whiter, too. This guy would approve.

You can’t even assume those people are people. There’s a lot of bot powered disinformation out there.

He could always try living within his means, you know, like rich republicans always say poor people should do.

“Why are you crying? Is it your haircut?”

I’m either going to die in the water riots or I’ll be shot dead by a Google Amazon compliance assistance team for using an adblocker.

The thing is, their anti-adblocking measures are still less unpleasant than actually watching ads.

port forwarding/firewall issues that most people don’t know how to deal with

This sort of thing makes me want to tear my hair out when I hear “Why bother rolling out IPv6 when IPv4 just WORKS!?”

NAT, port forwarding and the problems they cause are seen as expected, just the way the internet works instead of the dirty hacks they actually are. Most people aren’t old enough to remember the time when everything connected to the internet had a routable IPv4 address.

Personally, I’m on an electricity plan that gives me free usage at midday when solar is flooding the grid, so it’s useful for me to be able to charge as fast as possible in that window.

Faster charging is useful for more than just finishing before your next drive.

Because the “Why is the video being slow?” pop-up now sends you to the page blaming adblockers instead of the ISP shaming thing it used to do.

You sure that guy wasn’t playing on a potato? (Or a brand new Nvidia 5060Ti 8GB?) Low VRAM makes a lot of games look like crap, because it’s either dropping textures or running like ass when you overflow VRAM.

Just scrambles in place, like eggs.

Apparently, but not flawlessly.

The problem with getting rid of everyone who tells you things you don’t want to hear is that bad things still happen to you but now they always come as a surprise.

It’s funny how that goes: elements that react violently often form strong bonds, so make stable and safe compounds.

It was life changing when I realised uBlock Origin can block whatever I want from web pages and not just ads.

All the links at the right of an article, headers and menus that want to continue occupying screen space after I’ve scrolled down, the entire comments section on some pages. Bam, gone.

Pages with cookie banners that don’t have a one-click reject all button? Just block the banner.

Fake resolution has it’s place, the problem is when Nvidia pressures reviewers to put its cards running a fake resolution against other cards running native resolution on benchmark charts.
