DF is one of the only outlets that actually seems to care about the technology itself. Regular videogame outlets rarely discuss technical details and (gaming oriented) hardware sites only care about pricing and market conditions

I love hearing Alex and co get excited about new rendering techniques

It’s insane to me that XCloud runs the Series S versions. Streaming already has enough latency and image quality compromises without needing to work from a lower-res 30FPS baseline.

Hell yeah! 🍻

The Switch 2 screen isn’t really capable of “real” HDR since it lacks local dimming. I find HDR is a dramatic night and day difference over SDR on a proper OLED screen or high-end Mini LED with a lot of dimming zones.

Is this being done with RXDK/XDK? I have an unreleased port using NXDK that I’m still working on. Well, it’s fully functional the only thing is I want to implement a control scheme like the console Planescape port.

I’d be curious to see if it’s faster on XDK since NXDK SDL2 is software rendered

Even the first game made you read First Strike if you wanted to know how Chief got back to Earth at the start of Halo 2

Plenty of other games out there for people with ancient PCs

Honestly the analogy doesn’t really apply to videogames. I guess on an incredibly basic level a remaster would be updating old code to work on new hardware and a remake would be an entirely new product made from scratch. No idea how to categorize things like Oblivion and OOT 3D

I’m guessing there’s no way in hell this will ever be added to already existing cars

I took a date to see The Disaster Artist without realizing she had never seen or even heard of “The Room”

I’m disappointed that the bizarre “Jacob Crane” plot synopsis was debunked by one of the actors. I’m hoping this is so bad it’s good and not so bad it’s bad.

I read that the N64ModernRuntime used by Zelda 64 Recompiled can use graphics renderers other than RT64. Any idea if there are plans to document this more in the future? I’ve gotten the runtime to compile on the PSP using PSPSDK but RT64 is too modern to port. Perhaps a question for Wiseguy himself

I love those massive .ini fix mods that always get released within 24 hours that don’t actually do anything and have entries for engine features that aren’t even used

If someone’s real name is attached to something and they think Nintendo has a legal case against them then I understand the fear, but generally speaking homebrew coding for 20+ year old hardware using “stolen” libraries is 100% “who gives a shit?” territory. The moral grandstanding is lame.

I’m guessing by uncompressed you mean a bluray quality bitrate. Actual uncompressed video is stupidly massive

I still use my Xbox 360 HD-DVD player as a USB disc drive for my PC

I think everyone can at least agree that the MMO-tier completionist achievements always suck. Kill 1000 enemies, get 9999999 money, max every stat, pick 100000 flowers, etc. Either make them unique and interesting, or make them things people would be striving to do regardless.

"They don't know I made Balatro."

For me, it’s DRIV3R
