Its the water - its turning the freaking frogs gay

This is the type of news I like to hear about lmao. Going to refer to everyting as a wild burro now

Hey, this is really cool and seems to be pretty stable for me. Im sure a lot of people into sports would be glad to have this

Gaming PC is in the living room for gaming and media center.

Laptop in my office up stairs for programming and I use Steam Remote Play for games that require keybmouse. Its nice because I can just unplug it from my dock and head downstairs with it if I want to browse on the couch.

I have a tablet too, but that’s used solely for movies, YouTube, or when I’m DMing because the footprint is smaller.

The right to hold a bigotted opinion should NOT superceed my right of self expression. You want to be a homophobe? Fine, but keep it to your fucking self and let’s the gays exist.

Agreed, stop scrolling the comments and go read it random reader.

I used to get so excited by tech advances but now I’ve gotten to the point where its still cool and a fascinating application of science… but this stuff is legitimately existential. The author raises great points around it.

So the dual trackpads are interesting. I use my right trackpad on my Steam Deck all the time for more mouse centric games. I appriciate that ZOTAC included them, but the execution is key here.

Personally, I have two steam decks in my house and I’m extremely satisfies with them. I dont think a new handheld will make me switch until we get another generational improvemnt in terms of battery or power.

I love that the market has so many options! Steam, Asus, Lenovo, MSI, Zotac, AYANEO, AYN, GPDWin, or even the chaper linux retro consoles! its fucking awesome. In a few years we’ll see who really sticks with it, but for now, we’re in a little handheld revolution. Enjoy it while we can.

I don’t mean to backseat engineer, but ensuring your BRAIN INTERFACE DEVICE succsessfully connects seems pretty fucking vital and worth of a redesign. Even if its expensive. Even if the probability is low, it needs to be virtually zero.

Its hard to take a step back and view this as regular product development that has timelines and such strictly due to the nature of the product. This is almost literally the most invasive a product can be, you better fucking nail your execution.

The people that actually would benefit from this technology deserve better.

Im in the Vine program (basic not the premium tier) and they are actually very explicit that you need to review the product fairly and how you actually feel about it. Ive given out 3 and two stars before for cords that weren’t as advertised, shitty build, etc.

Granted, they DO want you to pump out a review for it within a month which is bad for longevity testing.

Of course, getting a product for “free” subconsciously probably makes reviewers a little more forgiving, which could be a problem.

For purely steam gaming and browser work, I’ve really liked Pop! OS.

Wow, that’s a lot to confront. Way to be open to other perspectives.

Yeah, it felt nice to play, but after dumping 8 hours into it two weeks ago I can’t even remember what a single enemy looks like.

That is SO fucking cool.

The Shadow of Mordor games are pretty good turn your brain off action fun. But the tech behind it always blew my mind.

(Slight spoilers)

Like when you unlock the drake in the sequal and can fly over all the orc architecture or mountains, see anything that looks interesting and divebomb in. And it retains so much detail and fluidity during these transitions of gameplay and travel. I literally said last week that Shadow of Mordor is the best superhero game around, mainly because they truly capture that feeling of raw power and freedom.

I guess this is why it kinda has that feel!

Great points! Thanks for expanding. I agree with your point that people most often want a recreation of what was perceived. Its going to make this whole AI enhanced eviidence even more nuanced when the tech improves.

Fantasitc expansion of my thought. This is something that isn’t going to be answered with an exact scientific value but will have to decided based on our human experiences with the tech. Interesting times ahead.

This actually opens an interesting debate.

Every photo you take with your phone is post processed. Saturation can be boosted, light levels adjusted, noise removed, night mode, all without you being privy as to what’s happening.

Typically people are okay with it because it makes for a better photo - but is it a true representation of the reality it tried to capture? Where is the line of the definition of an ai-enhanced photo/video?

We can currently make the judgement call that a phones camera is still a fair representation of the truth, but what about when the 4k AI-Powered Night Sight Camera does the same?

My post is more tangentially related to original article, but I’m still curious as what the common consensus is.

interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance in millimeters between the centers of each pupil

Aka I have wide apart eyes

I feel targetted 🤣🤣 I have some big ass aviator style glasses, like I’m pretty sure the frame is for sunglasses, the true 70s style. My reasoning for it is pretty simple though:

1. Smaller square glasses don’t cover my field of view. Its like playing with 55 FOV on an Ultrawide monitor.
2. one of the only glasses style that can fit my IPD of 85 that are under $100.
3. my grandpa has rocked that same style since he was a kid. I look a lot like him so it was a pretty natural fit.

Overall loved em for years and will continue to rock them probably forever

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The tutorial sections did absolutely put me off the first time, but I saw flashes of brilliance after I got over that hump. Definitely gonna give it another go after the Helldivers rush wears off.

Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels… insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.
