Which doesn’t sound like much, but if you have applications designed for 1024x768 (which was pretty much the standard PC resolution for years) then at least it would fit on the screen.

There were cards in Operation?

If there were, then they’d long been lost by the time that well used game found its way into my hands.

Because it’s not a good way to get from 30fps to 60. It’s a way to go from 60 to 120 (and 240 on the new 50x0 series) where you won’t notice the extra latency.

Most 30fps games on consoles have a 60 fps setting anyway, that turns off the extra graphical wankery and tones the resolution down a touch.

As if they’d ever let you skip adverts, even by dancing for them like a monkey.

There’s no HDR on Linux solutions. And I do like the HDR.

You can at least swap out the launcher and remap the buttons on the nVidia Shield Pro if you’re that way inclined. It’s not perfect, but there’s fewer compromises.

You get the full fat versions of paid streaming services as well, although I mostly use Jellyfin now.

The only MiniPC solution that does everything right now is going to involve Windows 11…

No HDR support kiils LibreElec right away for me.

An Android device like the Shield Pro really does seem to be the best choice. I think mine is the later model. The only thing it doesn’t seem to do is AV1 hardware decoding, and it does struggle a little with full 4K BR remuxes. Sometimes I have to reboot it before playing one.

I honestly don’t know why they even have -> instead of just a dot like everyone else. The compiler knows whether it’s a record, object, pointer, or any level of pointer to pointers.

Why make the programmer do the donkey work?

Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered.

Needed a full remake tbh. Some odd bugs as well, genuinely baffling in places. A couple of the new textures look worse than the old ones. A quick save/load feature would have gone a long way at the Drowned Abbey. SR2 combat isn’t hard (once you realise that the blocked attacks are still damaging the enemy despite having absolutely no feedback) but everything is so much more of a chore than the first game, and there’s nothing outside the main path to discover.

Tomb Raider 3 Remaster.

A game that makes you say “this level is a pain in the arse” on every level, but at least it has quick save and load. How I ever did this on PS1 with limited saves I’ll never know.

Astro Bot.

A glorified advert for all things Playstation, but a nice trip down memory lane regardless, as well as being fun to play.

Pretty much all the James Bond movies.

Isafjordur town. It’s like a mile up the road.

It can be. I had to wait until the next day for a flight before because it was way too dangerous to take off.

The plane was shaking all over the place on the runway. It’s only little propeller things that go there. Think it was a Fokker 50.

Because it needs spare money.

Well I’d make a ton of money installing bathroom ethernet cables.

I don’t think it really matters how long the warranty is, when the manufacturer is EGHIGXXJKNB from Amazon.

Exactly what I thought it would be. A real work of art.

Maintaining old code is the real drawback. Surely nobody finds that fun.

COBOL is just the turd on the shit cake.

They seem to hate Naughty Dog ever since they made them play as a lesbian instead of a generic white guy.

I do like to see those people triggered. I can see them being angry at rainbows for making the sky gay.

Also, I hope I spend this game collecting so much 80s music that I feel like I’m back in Vice City.

Providing it’s not soldered to the motherboard like Apple does with no way to add more.

Can’t stand Glen. Looks designed by a Hollywood AI to make the most generic looking man possible.

And Twisters is the worst film I’ve seen all year. Absolute tripe from start to finish.

Having dealt with a few it seems nobody really cares about specs and just implements something that returns a token.

The result is you end up doing a load of work every single time and none of that can be used for anyone else’s implementation.

I get the idea of oauth, but the implementations needed a whole lot less wiggle room, because it turns out when you’re a massive corporation every other poor bastard just has to adapt to your nonsense.
