    Two possible solutions to this:

    1. Always use a single digit for the base. Examples: binary is base 2, decimal is base A (because A=10 in bases higher than decimal), hexadecimal is base G.
    2. Use the highest digit plus one. Examples: binary is base 1+1, decimal is base 9+1, hexadecimal is base F+1.

    … or we just continue to agree that bases are always written in base 10 decimal unless specified otherwise. By the way, how does the alien speak English?



  • From my limited understanding, the PS3’s architecture is actually very different from PCs and modern consoles. From a developer’s perspective, it was very different to make games for it, its capabilities and strengths and weaknesses were just different. So it’s no surprise that its games have a certain look and feel to them.

    The PS4 and later, OTOH, is a more standard PC architecture which means iterative improvements and less difference between generations.

    Disclaimer: didn’t fact-check any of this, would appreciate replies correcting mistakes



  • What are you talking about? The photo quality is great. It’s not studio quality, but calling it potato quality would make the actually bad photos… what’s worse than potato? Hamster wheel quality?

    Calling this photo “potato quality” is the same as calling the 360 and the PS3 “retro consoles”.
