Gaming on ARM is going to have a steep hill to climb until there’s a Proton-esque compatibility layer.

There technically is: Box64. It needs work but it works on a couple of titles. The problem is more so the fact that Snapdragon’s GPU is really weak compared to what Intel and especially AMD have now so it wouldn’t be viable for games either way.

Don’t forget OpenAI constantly saying “We had an AI SO POWERFUL that it can be very dangerous!!! And no you can’t see it yet.”

The middle east is very big so you’ll need to be more specific. I live in the ME and it works fine on my end

Since nobody linked it, it’s Modern History TV. Great channel.

Adding it in the closed alpha though is a new level of greed & impatience

Same, but at this point it looks like it’ll be in early access for at least a couple more years. Moon studios also had a fair amount of layoffs iirc

Nope, it’s designed to only be played co-op.

The whole situation is a mess and it’s hard to tell who’s in the wrong. I’m hoping the devs just keep making good games at this point.

but it did have a filter for pixel smoothing and I forget what else.

FYI they did an update that essentially fixed the PC version and made it very good, along with the option to disable smoothing.

That’s awesome! I don’t know what sparked more people to come over though. Would be great if someone can fill me in since I’m so out of the loop.

This one I played. It’s a cool idea but many of the survey answers are just really stupid. I swear sometimes they just asked 14 y/o shitposters online instead of real people.

Despite privacy and bloat concerns from some people online, I don’t think a single person I know would buy a TV if it couldn’t run streaming apps on it.

It’s a good game but I didn’t feel compelled to play more than a few hours. I’m more of a Dicey Dungeons guy, especially since it has a fantastic mobile port.

With this, OpenAI is officially starting to crack. They’ve been promising a lot and not delivering, the only reason they would push out GPT4.5 even though it’s worse and more expensive than the competition is because the investors are starting to get mad.

Judging by the last Pokemon game, this is probably close to how it’s going to look. On the bright side, it will probably look a whole lot better on the Switch 2.

Extremely rare EA win

I’ll take a guess that they are going back to Reddit so they can control what gets posted and shown to others. They got railed on Mastodon following the drama, which is probably why they’re leaving.

Avowed reminds me a lot of Kingdoms of Amalur, in that it’s not really an RPG and is just an action game with some RPG elements. Still fun if you go in with the right expectations of just looting stuff and killing random enemies.

Finally, a data breach that doesn’t include me. Good to know I dodged it.

To be fair it starts with 32GB of RAM, which should be enough for most people. I know it’s a bit ironic that Framework have a non-upgradeable part, but I can’t see myself buying a 128GB machine and hoping to raise it any time in the future.

If you really need an upgradeable machine you wouldn’t be buying a mini-PC anyways, seems like they’re trying to capture a different market entirely.
