    If I have an enjoyable time using something that's all that should matter

  • T @ trimesh:
    Yeah, this is a games site, and I would have thought that most people would care about games ahead of anything else - although some of the comments on here make me wonder sometimes.

  • T @ trimesh:
    I just checked, and I have Bioshock 1/2 (normal and remastered) and Infinite on Steam

    Some people remain loyal and don't forget the negatives over the positive people try to do that's just life
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    Can't remember when I bought them - probably during some sale
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    Yeah, the most obviously deranged indication of this are the heavy-duty console warriors
    Gift

    It happens outside of gaming it's just life

    Yeah, fanbois will fanboi

    Kinda makes me sad everyone is believing in emulation gives less of a reason for consoles to exist
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    I appreciate the convenience of emulation - but at the same time there is a feeling you get from using original hardware that's hard to match.

  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    I feel like consoles will always be here just less of a demand
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Next gen will probably be all portable
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    Some things (like Super Famicom games) just feel right when you play them using the original hardware and a CRT

    switches the box from tv to game
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    Not so sure about that - the tendency for "graphics uber alles" tends to lead to very high power consumption
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    If you look at what's now portability graphics are catching up to console quality
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Nintendy is a huge example of not everyone caring about powerful specs most that do will be hardcore PC players anyway

    The thing is that the IATA rules impose a pretty hard limit of 100Wh on battery sizes for lithium batteries - and it doesn't look like Li is going away soon
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    So if you want (say) 4 hours of runtime you need a maximum system-level power consumption of 25W
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Yeah but we already have AAA titles looking fine on tablet form 1080p displays
    Gift
  • KenniesNewName @ KenniesNewName:
    Human eye can only tell so much of a difference
    Gift
  • T @ trimesh:
    For reference, the PS5 is rated at 350W and the Xbox series X at 275W - and that's console only, without any display

    But the future always holds performance never know what the aliens will donate from their left over tech

    Maybe :) - but batteries have turned out to be a pretty hard problem
