How many browsers open it natively?

I never really thought of Robocop as being cyberpunk either. It is though.

Keeping untrusted clients in their own ecosystem is an interesting idea, and would let people access the game without affecting anyone in the “trusted” chain, but you will all be lumped in with the obvious cheaters with blatant speed/flying/aiming bots.

If you were playing without cheats on Linux, I’d imagine you’d stop soon after.

The best idea would be to let people run their own servers and then allow or IP ban cheaters themselves, but I guess with everything needing to make money from skins and paints or whatever the fuck Apex sells, that’s out of the question and has been since about the Xbox 360 era.

Yeah, they don’t ban immediately. They collate a huge amount of data and then do it in waves.

That way cheaters know what software got them banned, but not the exact behaviour that gave it away.

Careful what you wish for because the next step after killing physical is cloud gaming only.

Not people on Linux.

Children Ruin Everything: The Videogame.

I’ve just played the first level on a Spectrum emulator.

I have no real wish to play the second.

It was Street Hassle as well I think.

Only ever saw a few screenshots in a ZX Spectrum magazine, but it certainly has a memorable art style.

I use an Nvidia shield pro.

Certainly handles Jellyfin and Moonlight (for gaming, I could never get Steam Link working smoothly).

I assume there’s a YouTube client you can drop on it but I don’t use YouTube for much because I can’t stand YouTubers.

But at the same time it’s under £300 and doesn’t even need a PC or PS5 to run it.

A PSVR2 with console will set you back just under £1000. A Valve Index setup with good PC is probably going to be close to £2500.

It’s not hard to see why the Quest outsells all the others by miles.

Yes, but it’s not really for the masses is it? It costs over a grand which is a big ask for hardware that few people actually make games for.

N64 definitely aged better than PS1, especially in motion. Just a few too many compromises, like the integer positions and no perspective on textures.

It’s just a shame that only one company wants to bring it to the masses, and they’re one of the worst companies I can think of.

Although the last few years have certainly given them competition on that front, if not the VR one.

I legit thought that was a pre-rendered video until I saw them crash in the same place I did.

My first videogame machine was for black and white TVs and had 10 games, and all of them bar the target shooting game were variants of Pong.

PS2 was the last really big graphical leap. My fucking mind was blown by GTA3.

Since then we’ve had higher resolution, normal maps, physically based rendering and now raytracing, but none of it really feels that huge when moving from one gen to the next. PS2 came out and everything from before was obsolete, instantly. It even had backwards compatibility but I think I used it exactly once just to see the texture “improvements” (they actually just blurred them). This gen I’ve used it all the time.

Oh no. It’s not like that. They don’t even ask you about cookies any more.

This is a payment so they don’t sell all your cookie data to their 1354 trusted data partners/advertising vultures.

And they’re not even the worst in the UK.

I forget which one it was that decried the Brass Eye paedophile special as sick, while on the page directly opposite it was an article telling you how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s tits were getting along with a photo.

Indeed. There must be no downside to clicking no. Consent must be freely given.

Although I’d argue almost nobody complies with the spirit of the law. Popping up a consent form every time you visit unless you accidentally click accept and then never asking you again doesn’t feel like consent was truly given.

Probably not, but it does add a touch of legitimacy to the claim that emulators are for playing your own backed up games.
