What’s the difference?

I think for the Mac icons here I like the 2001 variant.

Unless something has changed, Amazon Music only offers low quality mp3 downloads, and sometimes even includes audio watermarks.

It peaked in 2006

This is why I use CloudFlare. They block the worst and cache for me to reduce the load of the rest. It’s not 100% but it does help.

I add non-Steam games to Steam just so I can use Steam Input for controller rebinding

Computer science was all Linux at my college. Xubuntu, specifically.

Your ISP can’t tell who you are contacting if you are using a VPN, but websites will track you by other means.

Thankfully the Linux community is pretty active and just about everything is supported alreadh

Analogue Pocket also supports 3rd party emulator cores, so you can very easily play ROMs or even other consoles.

Ps5 controller is like $70, the Steam Controller has more features than that, and the OG Steam Controller was pretty expensive. I’d be shocked if it’s under $100. I’m expecting it in the $150-$200 range. But we’ll see, I’d love to be proven wrong

One of the biggest Minecraft servers I know of had basically no anti-cheat and just relied on user reports and bans. And it was extremely effective. It was a PvP based server, and I only encountered cheaters in like 0.1% of games, and even then they were usually banned before the match finished.

The ones that modify the world’s blocks often cause a lot of lag unfortunately.

second movement takes place in the server, to do so in the client is nuts.

For the vast majority of games, it’s in between, because the latency if you waited for the server every frame you moved would be way too much.

It’s something like you have a local model of where everything is, and send updates to the server of where your local model says your character (and whatever else your inputs affect) are. The server receives that data, potentially validates it (server side anti cheat checking that your movement makes sense, similar to the OP post, for example), and then forwards that info to all players. The client side positions of everything are updated based on that info. Usually some interpolation is added to make things move more smoothly.

inb4 someone says “just try xyz!”

lol fair enough

I don’t have a smart TV.

Honestly where did you get one? When I was shopping for a TV a couple years ago I wanted to get one without any built in smart TV software and I could not find one

Take a look at Sunshine and Moonlight.

You install Sunshine on the PC and Moonlight on whatever is connected to the TV. Your TV probably has a “Smart TV App Store” that already has Moonlight available to download.

It should work well with the default settings, and has very low latency.

The controller is going to be closer to $200

It’s much better for games that were designed around VR in mind.

Some of my personal favorite recommendations:

• Beat Saber
• Super Hot
• I Expect you to Die (trilogy)
• Half Life Alyx
• The Myst and Riven remakes

I just checked and I’ve gotten over 100 hours out of mine so far.

It’s kinda scary that Europe is so willing to let all of their private messages go through an American data broker company that is well known for doing sneaky things to get data they aren’t supposed to have.
