That’s not a financial decision. That’s just them lacking technical expertise. And let’s be real - the S is not some kind of potato. It’s perfectly capable. You need ever so slightly less detailed 3D models and textures than on the X but I don’t remember this being a huge issue during the PS4 generation.
Not having lots of SKUs and a user-managed OS is kinda what the console experience is about. Steam OS does not deliver a console experience. Steam Deck kinda does (except not really), but Steam OS is just a part of that.
MS has sold more S than X, according to a quick google. Not sure why you’d want to port a game to Xbox Series X without making the game playable on S.
All modern motherboards support ReBAR. Not sure why you’d be against it.
Depends. But this is why businesses love Microsoft and AWS. Support in perpetuity.
NixOS is like that every day for no reason
Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.
Dude. You played an RPG in spite of the story. There are better dhooters out there. Go play those instead
Hopefully will not be the case. Depends on whether buy-in from Heroic, Bottles, and Lutris maintainers have been secured
Do you read benchmarks before writing this kind of comment?
Depends on the distro. Otherwise you’ll have to install the nvidia drivers yourself, and if memory serves it’s not as smooth of a process as on Windows. If you use Pop OS you should be golden, as that Linux distro does all the work for you.
Maybe, but you can push it really far before the breaking point is reached.
Yeah, but since it’s dynamically generated it’s likely the 10th time you see those quests.
It’s an RPG, dude. If you don’t like RPGs then don’t buy them. I know a lot of people want Cyberpunk to be a GTA game or any other thing, but it isn’t.
I’m running it on NixOS. The Steam Deck experience is significantly more rich in terms of features like overlays etc. but the games play just as well on my NixOS desktop. In fact Proton etc. is so good atm there’s no point in having Windows. Only game I know that doesn’t work is Fortnite, and luckily that’s not a genre I enjoy.
You’d need to have different files for different subsets, then, and use some sort of cloud storage for sync
For speakers and headphones you can measure frequency response. But this is less fun than having a person listen and describe the sound with weird adjectives.
It does seem to be the best one, although CPU parallelism seems awful. No one wants to use CryEngine, and Godot and Unity is only used by indies
Try using Mastodon and Bluesky at the same time. Bluesky is a twitter clone and perfect replacement. Mastodon is an excellent micro-blogging platform, but has none of the features people actually liked about twitter. People love recommendation algorithms and quote tweet dunking. That’s the core of what it’s all about. Mastodon is glorified RSS, which is great if you miss those days.
