Not going to argue with that, but it does pose challenging questions on how to govern digital archival so that certain lines are not crossed. Current restrictive laws push archival into the grey zone where it’s hard to effectively enforce privacy protections.

They were partially owned by Eurogamer since the beginning. Eurogamer was bought by IGN last year although DF ownership situation was slightly more complex than that. This is the first time DF is truly independent.

I did feel they went too easy on some corpos, especially nvidia with series 50, but also amd and iirc they barely said anything about the Intel gen13/14 issues.

As someone who’s been following them for ages now, my understanding is that they say what needs to be said and move on when it comes to things that are beyond their control - personal opinions are for their weekly podcast. They could criticise pricing and customer hostile behaviour more but they seem to be very cautious about not contributing to unproductive negativity that’s so prevalent in video game commentary. Ultimately it’s up to consumers to vote with their wallets because talking about things doesn’t fix them. Blaming journalists for not speaking against things enough is not going to fix them either.

Current gen is a big improvement as to what’s expected and what’s delivered on 60FPS front. I really doubt 60FPS can be squeezed in GTA6 even from PS5 Pro given how it looks in trailers. I do hope that 40FPS performance modes become more common though, it’s way more achievable and still quite responsive.

The only negative response they care about is the one they will feel financially.

I must be living in some parallel dimension where unstable 30 FPS was the standard through nearly the entire previous console generation, even in non-open world games, which was still an upgrade from PS360 days. I wished I lived in your time continuum though.

You do realise Nintendo manufactures their stuff in Vietnam? Is it some rogue operation by Mecha Pol Pot or are you going to come up with some different head lore? xdddddd

I’m not sure about Windows specifically

That’s quite an important omission because we’re talking about Windows. Windows won’t run kernel or driver that’s not using expected certificates, what would be the point otherwise?

How did you come up with the idea that domestically produced hardware would have to be produced independently from Nintendo and not just Nintendo of America? xdddddd

Can you really sign your own modified Windows kernel or drivers? I don’t think that’s how cryptography works.

According to that latest Princeton study on phenotypes of autism - approximately 37% of autistic population ;)

Secure boot requires OS kernel to be digitally signed so that’s just another way to prevent tampering. It’s not like those or any other games will be doing anything other than checking if it’s on because there’s not that much else it can be used for. Secure boot is annoying as hell if you use anything other than Windows though.

Please go back to reddit

Sorry, should have made it easier for you. I’ll try with the least amount of letters not to confuse you.

no u

They also go for autistic people because we love those pokémans. Can’t use children as an excuse to buy stuff but I’m the coolest uncle around.

This seems to be an unmoderated community/instance so I guess anything goes.

Do you reckon it’s more of a FAS thing that makes you go around calling people paedophiles or is it head trauma from being dropped repeatedly by your drunk mother?

Oh wow, haven’t seen that because of the adblocker. Fuck Eurogamer, that’s just illegal here. Meta has been trying to pull that repeatedly as well, they got in trouble with EU for that but I guess they feel more confident with Trump getting bribes from them now.

In the EU you can’t be legally opted into tracking without explicit consent so it’s usually as simple as pressing „confirm choices” or similar option. I can’t believe people don’t use adblock and deal with this everywhere though.

I don’t mean to gatekeep because boss fights in From Software games are getting ridiculous but I think wandering into dangerous areas and overcoming challenges by cheesing things and even grinding level and gear is part of the charm.
