It’s still open source, anyone can fork it



it’s very surprising to me that the end of win7 was so close to win10’s end lol


I think they supported Windows 7 just until it became too much of a burden to do so. They dropped 7, 8, and 8.1 at the same time, January 1st 2024


I once ran an RTX 2080 in an LGA 1366 X58 motherboard lol, I think you’ll be fine


I didn’t even know Microsoft owned Zork lol


Yeah those are great too! I bought my Quest 3 headset just for T7GVR and played it on release day lol.

I actually run the Lemmy community for these games [email protected]

and the Discord community https://discord.gg/Hss5cJg


  • Deus Ex - this game will last forever, especially with mods (like my Randomizer mod lol)
  • StarCraft 2 - I just love watching the esports, and with no other esport games available I guess this would be pretty huge
  • The 7th Guest - this is a bad pick but I’m obsessed with the game
  • Doom - I mean, come on, obviously
  • maybe some kind of builder game, I’m not into any currently but someone else said Factorio and that sounds like a good pick as a game you can keep playing forever, or maybe Stardew Valley or something accessible like that so everyone can play forever, or OpenRCT2


Yeah you can hack it in but that’s not official, which results in what you see: performance is not so great. That video only shows a small performance loss because FSR4 is only outputting to 720p, but making FSR4 output to 4k (like a normal TV) is a much bigger demand. But maybe some specific optimizations can be made.



https://gpuopen.com/fidelityfx-super-resolution-4/

uses the hardware-accelerated feature of the AMD RDNA™ 4 architecture

AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 4 upscaling requires an AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPU or better and can only be used on appropriate hardware.

Requirements

[FSR 4 Upscaling] AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 Series and above

It’s possible they add compatibility at a later time (with reduced performance and/or quality due to lack of hardware acceleration), but they haven’t announced anything like that currently


I’m sure it does, considering even my old busted laptop has hit the Steam hardware survey before, but it’s not one of my primary gaming PCs.

Another way of saying this is Steam Machine is slower than about 44 million gaming PCs (30% x 147 MAU, a very conservative number since that’s monthly and number of users instead of number of computers).

The fact that its GPU is slower than the 5 year old PS5’s, and it only has 8GB VRAM, makes me question Steam Machine’s longevity. And it apparently can’t do FSR4 cause it’s RDNA3.

It needs to be cheap.


I think to an extent yes, but not quite as bad as Reddit. Reddit admins will completely ignore reports about these. I think most Fediverse admins won’t ignore them.


Lol this escort mission. I don’t hate it.

Now the Funhouse, that’s a great level



I loved my 3DS. And yeah it’s actually pocket sized, unlike the Switch or Steam Deck. I’m still not sure about the choice of the 3D screen instead of just making it higher resolution lol. The 3D effect was cool but kind of a gimmick.


Max Payne 1&2 are some of my favorite games ever, I’ve beaten both over 5 times


I was really surprised at the price difference. Win11 Home adds $140 to the laptop cost? I would’ve expected $100, but damn.

And Win11 Pro is $200 over Linux lol



A brand name that people trust is a huge deal in marketing


The 7th Guest if you want to play a puzzle game with campy acting

also Deus Ex Randomizer has a Halloween mode


Wow this device looks amazing, love the form factor, and the wider top screen makes it so much better and more versatile


Unreal PT was actually really good lol. I had a friend play it since they didn’t have access to the original PT and they had a great time with it.

But yeah most of those Unreal Engine “remakes” are just a couple of graphics assets with no real gameplay or content



I know you said Crysis (1?), but I think Crysis 3 still looks great



minimum specs are low, so I would guess they have a toggle for original graphics

Minimum:

Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows 10+

Processor: Intel i3 / AMD FX-4100

Memory: 4 GB RAM

Graphics: GeForce GT 620 1gb / Radeon HD 8670D

Storage: 20 GB available space



yea the PS2 version is bad, but this kinda looks worse lol


it’s SO bad, I don’t see any reason for it to exist when the game already plays great on PC (with the Vanilla Fixer), and it also runs on PS5 with the PS2 version

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a remaster that looks this much worse than the original

There are so many ways malware could get through that. What if it waits for a specific date or a certain amount of progress in the game? This automated sandbox probably wouldn’t be smart enough to beat the game, certainly not with as many games as they have.



What if you leave battery saver mode enabled? I think there’s an ADB command to set battery saver to automatically enable when the battery hits a certain level (like 99%). Also I think there are ADB commands to tweak Doze


When is the last time you heard anyone compare anything to Human Revolution???

Right here https://youtu.be/bgJazjz9ZsA lol


Kinda excited for this, I actually loved the Friday the 13th game. The way voice chat worked made for some great immersion and role playing. And I love the Halloween series.


will make its debut on the new ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X.

Advanced shader delivery addresses one of the most frustrating challenges for PC gamers today – long load times and disruptive stuttering during a game’s first launch. These delays are caused by the need to compile graphics shaders and cache them for future use.

While we’re currently focused on supporting the launch of the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X, we’re excited to share that we’re releasing an AgilitySDK in September. This will provide both developers and gaming storefronts with the initial set of tools and APIs needed to expand this functionality across the industry.

We’re also continuing to collaborate with our hardware partners to grow the number of devices that will be able to support advanced shader delivery. Stay tuned for more details on device expansion in September.

I guess this is like what Steam Deck has already been doing. I wonder how long it will take them to bring it to desktops, and if it will work on Win10 or only Win11


I liked their “optimized settings” series, but that series ended (AFAIK)

It didn’t really end, it’s just part of their normal game analysis now

Here are some of the biggest things we've added since then. - Many new game modes: - [**Halloween mode, WaltonWare Halloween, and other varieties**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbzNkWJXZ1o&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1) - adds zombies, limited saves, and Mr. H who is a big invincible guy that roams the map and tries to smack you. - **Mr. Page's Mean Bingo Machine** - A new mode where you play through the whole game, but must complete a bingo line before being allowed to progress to the next mission. Once you get to the next mission, you are given a new bingo board! - [Zero Rando **Plus**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksoj1QMoGIc&list=PLZIQTa_kwZhBksj7UzcahPiRaHk87fWch&index=1) - like "Zero Rando" (no randomization, very vanilla) but *Plus* more quality of life additions and balance tweaks. - **Speedrun Training mode** - shows where possible goal locations are without spoiling them. - We split off the old "**Normal Randomizer**" mode into "**Full Randomizer**", with the new "**Normal Randomizer**" being a more welcoming game mode to learn the Randomizer. - **Strong Augs mode** - increases the strength of augmentations. - **One Item Mode** - Our new dumbest game mode! All items in a map will be replaced with a single type of item (eg. all flares, all biocells, or all beers) --- - Many new loadouts and augmentations: - The default "**All Items Allowed**" loadout now starts with the new inferior "Running Enhancement" instead of the old "Speed Enhancement". Choose the "**Speed Enhancement**" loadout if you want to start with that like before. - **The Three Leg Augs** loadout - Allows Running Enhancement, Jump Enhancement, and Run Silent. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default. - **My Vision Is Augmented** loadout - Allows Vision Enhancement, Short-Range Vision Enhancement, InfraVision, and Motion Sensor. You start with one of them. Enables aug slot rando by default. - **Random Starting Aug** (instead of Running Enhancement) - And more! --- - Lots of balance changes - Allowing even more variety of play styles, especially with augmentations. - Balance changes are also now toggleable in the options. Disabled by default for **Zero Rando**, but most are enabled by default for Zero Rando **Plus**. - More goals rando, especially for Gordon Quick, and Area 51. - New augmentation slot randomization feature (so speed can be an eye aug) - Multiple, rotating quicksave slots - New menu to change current in-game settings - Many new bingo goals and improvements to our bingo game modes! - Deus Ex: Revision support is massively improved as a whole --- - We're doing a speedrun marathon on **Sunday** for **Deus Ex's 25th Anniversary**! (June 22nd) - All of the Deus Ex games are here, including some runs of the Randomizer - Stream: https://twitch.tv/sumofbesties - Schedule: https://oengus.io/marathon/dx25/schedule/dx25 - Our speedrun leaderboard was created about a year ago: https://www.speedrun.com/dxrando (we split the leaderboard for a couple of big updates that changed the run a lot) - We did 3 amazing speedrun races: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZIQTa_kwZhDZjz905W-hpORQ4S1Rj3a6 - We have a WaltonWare tournament soon!
