This sounds like the start of another sovcit “loophole”

How many browsers open it natively?

Children Ruin Everything: The Videogame.

I use an Nvidia shield pro.

Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).

I assume there’s a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don’t use YouTube for much because I can’t stand YouTubers.

Oh no. It’s not like that. They don’t even ask you about cookies any more.

This is a payment so they don’t sell all your cookie data to their 1354 trusted data partners/advertising vultures.

And they’re not even the worst in the UK.

I forget which one it was that decried the Brass Eye paedophile special as sick, while on the page directly opposite it was an article telling you how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s tits were getting along with a photo.

Indeed. There must be no downside to clicking no. Consent must be freely given.

Although I’d argue almost nobody complies with the spirit of the law. Popping up a consent form every time you visit unless you accidentally click accept and then never asking you again doesn’t feel like consent was truly given.

I do have a double set with original (or as much as you could get) along with the post-prequels completely broken one. I think there was a pre-prequels version as well. But then that is DVD quality, which is getting on a bit.

The likes of Disney+ doesn’t even acknowledge the originals even exist.

Same with their Alien and Aliens versions as well. No director’s cuts at all, which is a shame as I far prefer them. They should have both.

They were course and rough and irritating and got everywhere.

The only way to watch the original Star Wars movies before George completely fucked with them is piracy.

The 4K77, 80 and 83 editions are what you’re after. Enjoy. There are apparently reduced noise versions as well, but I thought it was perfect as is. It’s old. It’s supposed to have noise and grain. The desert scenes in the first one are really noisy and I’m not 100% sure why. Maybe he filmed those on cheaper film stock in smaller cameras, but that’s just a guess.

I think software was a lot easier to visualise in the past when we had fewer resources.

Stuff like memory becomes almost meaningless when you never really have to worry about it. 64,000 bytes was an amount that made sense to people. You could imagine chunks of it. 64 billion bytes is a nonsense number that people can’t even imagine.

Probably one of the VR ones.

Phasmophobia is tense and mostly because you can die and get no points, but there’s plenty of VRChat horror worlds as well. The quality varies wildly though, and you often face the worst VR horror of all: awful frame rates.

Those fucking dummies…

That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

RDR2 was long as fuck.

8K on everything is pure marketing BS.

And the replacement people all just assume that we’re supposed to be up to our waists in water.

Technical debt is a real doozy. There’s no value for the higher ups in fixing it, so nobody does.

New features just take longer and longer to add, under a teetering pile of your own shit.

I think part of the problem is the ideal underlying structure for your project doesn’t really reveal itself until several years in, and by then it’s a nice to have for some other time that never arrives.

At that price there would have to be some pretty compelling arguments to upgrade.

Half a generation for up to 40% more raytracing power isn’t worth it.

A full generation for 2-3 times what a PS5 can do? Maybe.

Even then, there would have to be some damn good exclusives on PS6 to be worth your while. PS4 to PS5 was an easy argument, games ran at 30 pretty much all generation, mostly due to a comically underpowered CPU, and now they run at 60.

I’m struggling to even conceive of a worthwhile game that would bring a PS5 to its knees. I haven’t really seen a good argument for raytracing yet. Sure, nicer reflections, more accurate lighting, but we were pretty good at faking those anyway. Cyberpunk and Metro look really nice with the RT only editions, but they were perfectly playable without it.

We should really draw a big line under RT once it reaches a certain level of power, and go back to affordability. Game devs can’t put food on the table just catering to insanely high end hardware. My PC is still rocking a 1060. On the Steam hardware survey, there’s only one GPU higher than the X060 series inside the top ten. Budget hardware has got to be the focus.

Hey now, that malware has paid to be the top result! Probably using the proceeds scammed out of somebody who downloaded it.

Only the first time you visit in a while though.

I think it’s taking you away to a login page, logging you in, then bringing you back.

I can see the point if you were going to ask or answer a question, but 99% of the time you just want to see how somebody else didn’t get their problem solved by some random Indian guy who people assume works for Microsoft, who think the solution to everything is running “sfc /scannow” which has replaced chkdsk as the command most likely to take a long time, do nothing, and make the question asker go away without a solution to their problem.
