2016*

Maybe it's just my CPU or something wrong with my setup, but i feel like new games (especially ones that run on Unreal Engine 5) really kick my computers ass at 1440p. Just got the 7900xtx last year and using a ryzen 9 3900xt i got from 2020 for reference. I remember getting new cards like 10 years ago and being able to crank the settings up to max with no worries, but nowadays I feel I gotta worry about lowering settings or having to resort to using upscaling or frame generation.

Games dont feel very optimized anymore, so I can see why people might be upgrading more frequently thinking it's just their pc being weak. I miss the days where we could just play games in native resolution.

Lemmy isn't reddit so you're good

Yeah I only have used the steam deck, but I imagine the alternative Windows based handhelds feel much more clunky/hacky since Windows has issues suspending things in general, especially games. Maybe they fixed some of the issues on that end by now, but I feel like SteamOS is really the best and most viable option here for these other companies looking to cash in on this trend. Especially since Windows is bloated as is and not really made for this type of thing.

Not sure if Valve does this already, but perhaps they could license out SteamOS to other manufacturers too? It would make Valve's "competition" more lucrative for them. At the very least, I hope more people start using SteamOS so Linux gaming gets more adoption as time goes on. Valve has done absolute wonders for the linux community with Proton.

I used OCR to grab the link because yeah, screw that.

Because there's always going to be someone who says the distro you liked the most is not the distro you should be using. (I use Arch btw)

This is so strange to me that I had to run it through a few AI detector sites and they all seem to have a high human probability somehow. No idea how accurate those sites are though. Perhaps it is a real image, but ran through a bad AI upscaler? Or maybe OP could have taken this picture using a phone that has AI upscaling automatically applied to their photos like the Google pixel for example.

UT1999 for life!

What they don't realize is people are also using those third party apps because they are offering much more customization than the stock YouTube app ever offers. I had free premium and still used Revanced because it's such a godsend. There's so much useless crap in the youtube layout.

That fact does seem really fun and interesting. Why barbie? Got any links so I can read up on it?

Yes
