Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.

Not afaik. You either allow it or not. Doing so selectively would require a lot more knowledge than I have.

As a workaround however, running a VM and using your browser from within that would seem like a decent-ish way to obtain similar results with minimal effort. You can use the hypervisor to set whatever limits you require.

Sure would be nice if Creative could deliver a driver fix for my soundcard’s channel swapping. Thing isn’t even a decade old.

I used to use VMware religiously for software testing across several different versions at once. Had a nice stack of VM’s of our corporate software going all the way from win2000 installs to Win11. Then, we we went SaaS so all the different versions became obsolete. Regardless, if I were to do it over, it would definitely be Proxmox now. No way I’d ever willingly support Broadcom.

If you NEEDED both hands for that before, well, then you are truly blessed sir.

Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…

We’ve been up against the 5Ghz thermal wall for over a decade. We can keep adding cores but we need significantly improved design (less nanometers) for these gains - and these are now running up against another wall, namely quantum tunneling which begins being a problem at around the nanometer scale.

I assume only a radically different architecture (light instead of electricity?) will be able to smash these barriers.

Horrible creatures.

Damn, this is with everything on max at 4K with DLSS & Framegen?

Send 'em all our way (EU) I’m sure we’ll find a use for it.

I must admit, it’s not “just” a remaster, but they somehow managed to capture the spirit of '06 when this first came out PERFECTLY. Picture this: I was still in college and studying at home when Oblivion was finally released. I had been waiting for it for a long time (to my young mind back then) and I remember it was a perfectly beautiful, sunny day and I was home alone with no obvious way to get to a game store.

So I asked my elderly neighbor if I could borrow her clunker of a car for “an errand” and drove over an hour to the nearest game shop.

From the game itself I mostly remember how drop-dead gorgeous everything seemed - and how terrible my PC’s performance was back then, especially in outdoors areas.

Today, I experienced the exact same form of awe, followed by the most gorgeous graphics I could imagine, and… 15 fps outdoors. EXACTLY how things used to be when I was a young man.

Magic. Truly a win for Bethesda (after Starfield). Now all I need is a PC who can actually run the damn thing on high with over 60 FPS.

The enshittification/rent seeking continues. Nothing is sacred.

It’s almost a certainty they’re checking the hashes of your pics against a database of known csam hashes as well. Which, in and of itself isn’t necessarily wrong, but you just know scope creep will mean they’ll be checking for other “controversial” content somewhere down the line…

I feel like that’s one texture replacement away from reality. But knowing that side they would relentlessly attack it and make it seem like some kind of “maga kill simulator” or w/e.

Mein leben!

And so it begins…

Would explain my excessive base-building and decorating in Subnautica.

. You’re barely even buying a console anymore, a lot of this hardware has more or less converged. What you’re buying is access to the cultivated ecosystem.

Bingo. In an age where most people’s phones have better hardware than the Switch, it’s all about access to the walled garden instead of hardware.

Removed by mod

I checked out of Wow a few expansions back, haven’t regretted it yet. I too was a day 1-player but the current game is so far removed from its roots it might as well be another game altogether.
