    Dmitry Glukhovsky (author of the Metro games series), is handed an 8-year prison term for discrediting Russia's army

    https://apnews.com/article/russia-crackdown-navalny-court-dmitry-glukhovsky-4d35046224f7f0f2cba076bb1544fe4a Thankfully he is not in Russia, but being tried in absentia just makes this sentence all the more ridiculous. You'd think Putin would be more concerned with his military recruitment...

    https://www.ign.com/articles/emile-morel-beyond-good-and-evil-2-creative-director-dies-suddenly-at-40 Seems like maybe this game is cursed. Not sure what development plans will look like from here on out, assuming it isn't flat-out canceled. RIP, way too young.

    Civil war breaks out in Russia amid reports 25K Wagner mercenaries en route to Moscow

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/wagner-leader-declares-war-on-russian-military-after-alleged-attack/ar-AA1cX4mW I guess even among fascists there are limits to how much incompetence they're willing to tolerate before turning on their handlers. This comes after another rebel group inside...

    Twitter begins faking metrics in attempt to gaslight its own shareholders

    This is one of hundreds of examples that can be found by quickly skimming the platform. People you've never heard of, talking about things that few people would realistically care about, getting hundreds of millions, if not billions of "views." Musk is seemingly trying to change the very...

    Donald Trump indicted on federal charges related to handling of classified documents

    There are THIRTY-SEVEN* counts in all, and charges include obstruction of justice, willful intent, and conspiracy among others. Following his loss in the E. Jean Carroll suit, it seems likely Trump continues his downward spiral and ends up tying his own noose in this case as well. I'd put...

    While Japan raises age of consent to 16, Wyoming Republicans fight against raising marriage age to the same

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64703519 Kind of shocking that the age of consent has remained so low for so long, but better to fix it late than never I suppose. Meanwhile in hillbilly news... https://www.newsweek.com/wyoming-ending-child-marriage-sparks-republican-outrage-1780501...

    Andrii "Nizrok" Korzinkin, an animator for the Metro games series, has died in a combat mission while fighting for Ukrainian independence

    Rest in peace, you absolute legend. Yet another reminder that it's tyrants who choose to wage war, but it's the common man who pays the price.

    Steve Bannon indicted on charges of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering

    https://truthout.org/articles/steve-bannon-charged-with-fraud-conspiracy-and-money-laundering/ Proving yet again that the entire MAGA movement is and was nothing but a long con. Sunk cost fallacy ensures none of the rubes who lost money, friends, family members, and/or mental stability over...

    Big update to Deck Client and OS today (4/25)

    https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/3216142491801797532 One possibly unlisted change that people are reporting on Reddit is a fan curve adjustment that should quiet down all fan types some.

    Someone has created a SteamOS 3 port for jailbroken PS4s

    Thought this is pretty interesting/amusing. There are bugs, as is to be expected, but to some extent this would allow you to use a PS4 as a Linux-based gaming PC.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 running on Steam Deck (40+ FPS)

    Pretty impressive, even if it'd probably be better to lock to 30 FPS in this case to save on power draw.

    Elden Ring is Deck Verified already!

    https://steamdb.info/app/1245620/history/?changeid=14059872 A lot of people were speculating that it didn't meet the minimum requirements, obviously that was incorrect.

    AMD FSR baked into SteamOS + God of War now Deck Verified

    If you haven't heard of AMD's FSR before, it's basically their version of DLSS. This should allow for higher graphics quality settings while still pushing 60 FPS on the Deck, or allow you to output to higher resolution displays with minimal performance impact...

    USB-C port, would you prefer it on top or bottom?

    This is something that seems to be somewhat up in the air for the consumer release of Steam Deck. Most current images/videos show the USB-C port on top of the device, but concept images for the official dock show it connecting on the bottom (with no visible cable running to the top)...

    Leaked Kremlin documents reveal why Russia supported Trump - Putin holds blackmail leverage over him

    Net neutrality rules to be reinstated via executive order

    https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1413463056710000640 Honestly I wasn't aware this is something that could be done by executive order at all, I thought it had to go through the FCC. Happy to see it either way, and hopefully Biden starts taking aim at data caps next. Edit: turns out I was right...

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
