Why didn’t they go AMD, or heck, even Intel? They have GPU-heavy APUs in the pipe that would mostly just work.
Intel, in particular, is not bad power-wise as long as they aren’t clocking chips to very edge like they’ve been doing, and won’t necessarily have the TSMC capacity constraint. That’s huge.
It means emulation with pretty much every current title, and graphics driver issues and sluggish game out of the wazoo (as Qualcomm is very different than AMD/Intel/Nvidia).
ARM being more power efficient is also kind of a meme. Intel/AMD can be extremely good when clocked low (which they can do since there’s no emulation overhead), with both the CPU/GPU. Apple just makes x86 look bad because they burn a ton of money on power efficiency, but Qualcomm is more in the “budget” space. No one is paying $2K for an Xbox handheld like they would for an Apple product.
Yeah, I know it would mean emulation, the question is more if they can deliver. Since they state it will work with all Microsoft, Epic, and Steam games. Assuming any of the leaks are right.
Games are complex. Qualcomm/MS may tune it for the most popular titles, but I just don’t see how they can catch up to years of desktop GPU driver development.
The base M4 is a very small chip with a modest memory config. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic, but it’s more Steam Deck/laptop than beefy APU (which the M4 Pro is a closer analogue to).
$1200 is pricey for what it is, partially because Apple spends so much on keeping it power efficient, rather than (for example) using a smaller die or older process and clocking it higher.
I honestly thought the entire point of the Series S was that they would later be able to shrink it down into a portable device without any game patches
Call it the “series s” without capitalization lol, Microsoft loves confusing names, right?
It’s not the souls/weapons that we get at the end, it’s the useless (irl) skill set we honed along the way.
Souls bosses aren’t really rewarding except for the joy one gets from the fight. And if you don’t enjoy that all games give you plenty of room for cheese/overlevel/skip.
Maybe so, yes.
Each person should play how they like, imho.
That is what I mean by souls games giving you a lot of options to chose your player skill progression (gitting gud) intensity (and even end skill level, that it’s why people don’t level up etc).
The originals no because of copy protection, the pirate versions of dodi work fine with the exception of very few, now whether they work on a steam deck is another thing all together and not a Linux issue but steam deck tech issue
The stories about that dude are so good. The sheer pigheadedness of some players. Like the guy who spent like 8 hours fighting that boss instead of just walking around. he eventually won, to his credit.
I gave up after a couple tries on my first dude, but when Margit kept kicking my ass I restarted as a sorcerer. Killed both of them with the trusty pew-pew magic pebble.
Then you come across a game like Far Cry 5, which is mainly about gunning down fanatics, like most Far Cry games. But it has surprsingly good fishing. Although it’s mainly down to the enviroment, the actual fishing mechanic isn’t amazing.
It captured that feeling of standing on the bank of a lazy river, seeing a deer through the foggy reeds in morning, as fish catch insects on the surface. Or watching over a mountain lake as the sun sets in the distant mountains and a bird circles overhead.
I don’t know if I simply didn’t understand the mechanic right or gave up to fast, but for some reason I never warmed up to the fishing. I just stood there and wobbled the fishing line, but nothing bit. I have basically 100% the game, the only thing I skipped was the few fiahing missions. But if you have tips please feel free to tell me, mb I will go back :)
The basic fishing rod is basically a scam, in that it’s almost impossible to catch anything but the most basic fish. The “natural rod” you can buy from vendor takes 2 out of the 3 stats on the basic from 2->4 for almost nothing. And some fishing spots have an upgraded rod already.
As for how it works: It’s basically like fishing with a spinner. You throw it out and slowly reel it in as they swim towards lure/bait, and you pull/click as they bite. Then you pull the rod opposite the direction it’s swimming and try to reel in a bit at the same time(if it’s swimming towards you, just reel). As the line turns from green to red, you stop moving and reeling in to let the line “cool down” before doing it again until it’s at the shore(I often recommend standing a little bit into the water if it’s shallow, since standing too far back will prevent catches)…
There’s also different bait depending on wherer you are fishing; Mountain lake bait wont always in a river.
And once you have a hang of the basics, there are two quest chains that give you high level fishing rods.
