That exist, kinda. Android gaming handhelds have mobile SoC and also active cooling. See Ayn and Retroid devices. Their (almost) throttle free is a very nice experience.

It did, look at the game Suck Up or a variety of Skyrim mods. Problem is gamers are hostile to any obvious trace of IA in their games. Also, consumer hardware is overall too weak to run a convincing llm model.

EA being voted as the worst company has always been funny to me. The world would be a far better place if it was indeed the case.

Lwn.net is the last place I would have expected prophets to lecture us on gods plan for large language models.

It is a red water business, and no one will ever want to switch off from multiple years of game investment.

It reminds me of the US army and their fabulous idea to open a Twitch channel. Went as well as you expect.

Roblox commercialized that excitement. Kids now work directly for them and pretty much for free.

Accuracy isn't always the point of video game emulators since gaming experience is a subjective thing. Most of old games were crippled by the limitations of the hardware their run on. Inaccuracies can very much improve the experience,

We just have to define what an "error" is first, good luck with that.

Considering "jpeg" has become the shorthand for "digital picture", it would be a shame not to capitalise on it.

GTA6 is most likely the most anticipated cultural product of all times. Unfortunately, sensationalization makes perfect sense from news websites perspective.

Multiple reasons : IA pushback, better gaming experience, Linux becoming more and more mainstream with distro like Bazzite and CachyOS.

Country specific subs aren't better either. They slowly changed from comfy places to talk about laid back topics to a full on brigaded cesspool where only the most polarizing opinion thrive.

Because ad blocking isn't provided by default in Firefox. It isn't as opinionated as Brave, for the better and the worse.

Those games are a grain of sand in the infinite desert that is the indie game world. The vast majority of indie games on Steam are barely even noticed by anyone.

Huh huh, he could have just said "PRs are welcome" then. This is a window manager, no need to be weird by being this specific.

It is when those anticheats gatekeep the most popular PC games. For most gamers, they can't compromise on what they play and there is still a very large amount of potential games that would forbid a switch to another OS. See : https:&

You over estimate the will/knowledge of everyday people to do anything else than buy a branded PC, install Steam and be done with it.

Little known fact, the original DS touch screen is pressure sensitive. I don't know of any games using this feature, but the Colors homebrew does use it! So the DS was a fairly convenient digital art machine for its time.

I wonder why everyone keep saying "just put more VRAM" yet no cards seem to do that. If it is that easy to compete with Nvidia, why don't we already have those cards?

LLM can create new things, since their whole purpose is to interpolate concepts in a latent space. Unfortunately they are mostly used to regurgitate verbatim what they learned, see the whole AI Ghibli craze. Blame people and their narrow im

Wittgenstein famously said "If a lion could talk, we could not understand him". This subject is a philosophical fun rabbit hole to explore.

It is rather common in gaming to communities to find people completely obessed over ultra specific details of their favorite game. It isn't even the first time for Minecraft, see the "pack.png" case.

You should check the MMAcevedo short story. It substitutes a LLM with a real human psyche, resulting in horrifying implications like this one. https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

I browse the web daily, and the number of website that ever gave me trouble on Firefox can be counted on a single hand. The website compatibility issue is vastly overblown.

Idiocracy, just like 1984, is the catchall exemple someone will use when having no idea on how to articulate their feelings about a society they don't like.
