Microsoft is improving its Xbox app for Windows handheld gaming PCs
  • Not really true at all. If all you care about is raw performance, then that's debatable, but if you're talking ease of use then Linux is fine. Just grab a distro with an Nvidia ISO like pop_os and install, nothing else left to do.

  • Geforce Now game streaming is like magic – and it puts Xbox’s cloud effort to shame
  • Nvidia absolutely does not care about dedicated gaming GPUs anymore though, this is where their focus currently resides. Do you understand how much money Nvidia makes on their server hardware vs the consumer graphics card market? It's absolutely disgusting how much their server offerings are making them right now. They don't care about anecdotal scenarios like yours where you can tell a 120Hz VRR displaying is hitting a flat frame time. There will be a day when Nvidia just won't offer midrange graphics cards anymore, because it's just going to cost too much with little return on their investment over the server hardware and subscriptions.

  • This is a terrible apology video, what the fuck Linus...I hope they make another video regarding the sexual assault allegations. This is just in bad taste...I mean we're talking almost blizzard levels of sexual harassment and assault stopping short of driving someone to suicide. Fuck these guys and their channel I hope they go under and get buried.

  • How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime
  • Wow, that's a wild point of view. Thank you for sharing, that's actually really fascinating to see things from another perspective. Unfortunately I don't think I would ever agree to follow in those world views, but I respect your right to believe them and that's realistically what both sides need to achieve, mutual respect. So thanks.

  • What is your preferred daily driver distribution?
  • EndeavourOS, it just works really well and never breaks. The only time I had an issue was when I was using the Zen kernel and it locked up installing league of legends and watching a YouTube video at the same time. Using the mainline kernel though gives me no issues.

  • How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime
  • You can choose not to answer and I respect that, I've seen you guys post around here a lot. While I have in the past tried to avoid those conversations, I've simply never given any of you a chance to speak your mind. Do I believe there are people on lemmy that just want to troll? Absolutely! There's people like that everywhere, I'm simply trying to understand your perspective because I've never engaged in the subject, now I'm intrigued. I've gotten to a point where I just have to know what drives you and why. Answer if you want or ignore me, I won't harass you about it. I'm just trying to give you a chance to speak and explain so I can better understand. There's no trickery here, I promise.

  • How native Hawaiians feel about the occupation regime
  • Can I ask you something? And this is me being genuine here, because I'm clearly out of the loop, but what is it about communism that you think is really great? Just forget about the capitalist propaganda comments, I want your genuine opinion, why is it great and what drew you to it?

  • Linus' reponse to the Gamer's Nexus Video
  • I mean, you kinda prove my point, they probably grew too fast, realized they need more money and are now chasing profit. Linus did it to himself, now corporate greed is stepping in because his way simply wasn't working and he recognized he sucks at running the company. Now they're putting out rushed videos with inaccurate numbers and benchmarks to chase those profits. Like I said, it's clear what's happening.

  • Linus' reponse to the Gamer's Nexus Video
  • I'm not buying that, there's probably a little bit of truth in there, but honestly it's pretty clear what's happening. The higher ups require a certain amount of videos a week to be profitable, if they don't meet that quota then they're not making money or they think they're not making money. They're also pretty clearly favoring their sponsors and reviewing their products positively without showing actual credible benchmarks. It's the sign of corporate greed creeping in once again and someone finally called out their bullshit. Linus isn't taking it very well, and I can imagine why when someone you thought to be a friend or colleague is now calling you out with credible evidence that you're just bullshitting around and half-assing the product you build from the ground up.

  • Linus' reponse to the Gamer's Nexus Video
  • For me, this is the main point, GN has prided itself in integrity and making sure meticulous detail is done on every benchmark, LTT doesn't do that and only worries about pumping out 7-10 videos a week to keep up with the YouTube algorithms (which may or may not be a real issue). I'm inclined to be behind GN on this one.

  • The DualSense game controller just went on sale
  • I think a certain controller model was more susceptible to stick drift than others. I think it was after the horizon forbidden West bundle where they started selling newer controller models with more reliable sticks. Both of my ps5 controllers have been dropped, thrown, played after and while eating by children and they're still fine. I have also have a dualsense edge controller for myself though so I don't really care what the kids do to their controllers. Grand total of 3 controllers and none of them have drift.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • I wouldn't call that a proper repair mechanic. They had that in BotW but it had to be a certain type of weapon from a certain type of octorok at a certain place at a certain time of day only once per blood moon. I'm guessing this is a slightly less restrictive system but it's still not really an improvement if your weapons disappear from your inventory like BotW.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • Any weapon durability system without a repair mechanic is terrible. There is no strategy to the fights just go down the list of weapons you currently have and hope to kill the enemy before you get to the end of the list. Sure you can use a weapon for the right situation but it'll break regardless and there's no way to reasonably get a new one. I essentially speed ran my way to the master sword because of the weapon durability only to find out that even the master sword "breaks", what a crock of shit.

    As for the divine beasts, they weren't complex at all, they were a shitty representation of a digital rubrics cube and the Ganon bosses were copy/paste with a few changes here and there, nothing complex. The only challenge were the lyonels and even those could be cheesed one way or another.

    The building is just too gimmicky for me, it's so out of place for a Zelda game it ruins the whole experience. I get that it's the feature and a lot of people like it, but it's just not for me.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • That's great, but as long as the master sword "drains energy", shields and other weapons break, and dungeons are lacking I'm gonna pass. The merging and crafting mechanics are cool, but I'm not playing Zelda Minecraft edition, I'm trying to play a legend of Zelda game. Building makeshift helicopters and hover crafts aren't really what I'm looking for in a Zelda.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • I honestly don't know, I've had people tell me it's BotW 2.0, so I've stayed clear. The weapon degradation system is what truly pushes me over the edge with these games, and from my understanding TotK still retains that mechanic, so it's a hard pass for me. I've also heard there are real dungeons also, so idk what to think. I'm probably going to skip TotK altogether, I've currently been playing baldurs gate 3 and powering through the guild wars 2 story so I've got plenty of games to play and I don't feel like I'm missing out.
