As with anything pushing technical limits, there's always risk. But what you're describing isnt purely an issue of pushing realism in gaming, it's an issue of pushing for profits above all else. These exact practices happen in less realistic game development as well.
Anyway, as stated, I don't think all games should try to push the graphical envelope. Most games I play don't attempt this. But I'm glad games like TLOU2 exist and appreciate the devs behind it.
They did the same for all the moon rock samples. This video was a pretty cool look into the facility: https://youtu.be/QxZ_iPldGtI?si=EY6m-JLY0pEgTj_3
I pretty much always use an external mouse with my NexDock, cause the touchpad is pretty unusable imo. The keyboard is.. okay. I wouldn't really have a good place to put an external keyboard without pushing the nexdock screen too far back.
My NexDock doesn't charge the steamdeck fast enough with the single cable solution, so I end up using a USB-c hub and power it separately which makes it extremely clunky. You end up with: 2x usb-c cables for power, usb-c hub, hdmi cable, usb cable to nexdock<-> steamdeck. You can get it down to 1x usb-c cable for charging if you alternate between the charging the steamdeck and the nexdock.

Sorry couldn't help myself.
Does it? Los Angeles looks worse than New York City while having less than half the people. I imagine it's going to correlate more with amount of cars and distance cars drive.
I've only played Chiv 2 on my desktop, but for EAC games I had to install EAC seperately. I'd assume the SteamDeck would do this for you, but maybe it didn't install properly?
That's a good point. What about long range RFID skimmers? You could argue the tag wasn't designed to work with a skimmer. I guess that's more like energy injecting?
That's a very good point, but a little misleading. A better number would be to add up all the top tier cards from every generation, not just the past 2. Just because they're old doesn't mean they still aren't relatively inefficient for their generation.
If we kept the generations exactly the same, but got rid of the top 1 or 2 cards. The technological advancement would be happening just as fast. Because really, the top tier cards are about silicon lottery and putting as much power in while keeping stable clocks. They aren't different from an architecture perspective within the same generation. It's about being able to sell the best silicon and more VRAM at a premium.
But as you said, it's still a drop in the bucket compared to the overall market.
Year of the Linux HDR Desktop?
Travel. Whether it be for: work/leisure, domestic/international, bus/train. I work from home and don't drive. So when I'm traveling via transit, it's Steam Deck time.
Just fuck lawns in general. Waste a resources and space. Lawns should be opt-in rather than the default of every house. And if people do want one, they should use native and low maintenance vegetation.
Wind? And binary cycle geothermal plants but not sure how common they are.
