  • Got an old Wii. Worth it to convert it into a retro machine or just leave that to my pc?

    Chop it down and customize it so it'll fit in a 5.25" bay.

    @DinohScene That'd be dope but I have little experience taking things apart.

    Well.. you don't have to customize it to much, quickly put a DVD drive on it, pretty much same dimensions.
    Still, it would be sweet yep!
    I finished an entire game on Stadia (Doom 2016) and I had a great experience. I actually want to buy more games on the platform

    I thought I was going to have a bad experience with input lag for a fast paced game like Doom but I was pleasantly surprise how nice it feels to play. Playing on controller feels like playing a console game. Playing on pc, you can feel some input lag but it is not enough to hugely affect your aim and it is very consistent compared to Geforce Now

    Basic computer knowledge should be something taught at schools. I'm talking navigating an OS, managing files, installing software, security

    Teaching basic computer usage… Hahaha. Here in Germany there are a lot of teachers that aren't able to use a computer properly themselves. Using a computer (=smartphone) is more or less equivalent to using WhatsApp for them.
    I agree: There should be done A LOT more at school.

    About programming: Getting to an advanced level, solving complex problems and developing full-blown applications or putting non-trivial algorithms into C code goes beyond what an average teenager should have to learn.
    Using BASIC or similar to get a feeling for simple use of variables IF-statements and loops could be easily done though.

    That's what I meant, honestly - simple programs, meant to exercise the students' creativity, like those old BASIC programs in gaming magazines used to. Here's a small sample game; copy it down into the computer, and try to tweak the SFX if you can, or change the colours, or add onto it in some way.
    Is anyone else spoiled by good graphics? Like the gameplay is good, but it somehow seems like it would be better if it looked nicer

    Prediction: in the next 5-10 years, old movies are gonna be fully remastered and rereleased into theaters

    I know that rereleases of movies are already a thing but I think with the advancements of upscaling technology and ai, there is an opportunity to capitalize on it. I’m talking Demon Souls Ps5 kind of remastering btw

    Sadly it will probably be with all the good bits censored lest it offend someone's sensibilities, and possibly CGIed to look like it is in China so they can sell it there.

    theyre usually not completely bad sound, just generic audio devices from the depths of china with a custom shell. i genuinely recommend products like these to people on incredibly tight budgets

    @Seriel Definitely. Since they copy the functionality of pairing on Airpods as well, they are 100 times better than the cheap BT earbuds they sell at gas stations for the same or higher price. The only downside is quality control and the shipping times which can take months

    ...Maybe wait until December? Actually no - Christmas rush...January, hopefully, if not February.
    Which is still pretty bad. Still, if you can, waiting for this "new release" craze and scalping to die down is a good choice.

    Yeah, but for the people that want one for Christmas, getting one at black Friday could be one of the last opportunities
    Its the end of 2020 and I gotta say, the hardware on the Switch is pretty much a relic now. You can say goodbye to new AAA games ported
    People thought the sustained performance of the Series X was a good thing... The thing is already overheating lmao
    People really be saying console's not worth it and be spending $400 just for a cpu upgrade (which might also need a motherboard and cooler)

    @Memoir Just commenting how consoles are great investment for gaming when pc masterrace says otherwise. I was personally trying to upgrade my own rig and saw part prices when making this status. Need that 16 core for video editing lol

    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
