I think you misunderstood what I desire, I’m not saying to sync game settings. I merely want configurations such as “disable the advert pop-up” and “turn off Xbox controller xbox button launches big picture mode” (whatever it’s called in the actual settings) to sync across my devices. Heck add a toggle and a page that let’s people decide what to sync completely optionally. I’d still love it. Lol
True, but eletric overhead has significant upkeep and initial investment costs, as well as pure grid reliance. Batteries have significant weight, cost, and technical requirements combined with a relatively low lifeapan. Every energy system is going to have it’s downsides. Hydrogen fits well in train use cases because they often rely on being able to fuel relatively quickly (low downtime means less expensive engines required), operate in areas with unreliable grids (urban through shipping), and it has a relatively low initial investment cost (about on par with regular diesel). Hopefully it would be generated with on-site renewables, but we’ll cross that road when we get to it. Oh, and another thing people often forget about batteries is that once you account for losses in transmission, voltage conversion, and charging it ends up being significantly less efficient. I’ve been unable to find exact statistics for this in % though.
While I almost completely agree with you, never underestimate the power of using the right tool for the right job. HDMI is actually far more resilient to signal corruption in my experience than display port since it implements TMDS and the cables are more commonly well shielded since they expect them to be used in device dense environments, which isn’t really applicable to anyone familiar with technology (don’t group up your cables next to something with significant RF noise/leaks, duh.) but does matter for the end user use case these see. The fees hdmi charge are a scam though fr and we could ask better from the industry.
I think they both have significant issues past level scaling honestly, and I think it’s all by design to sell you the game as a service instead of a fun experience. It incentivises them to make a game that keeps you playing, not one you’re glad you played.
Overwatch. I keep wanting it to be something it’s not and it keeps rewarding me with pointless gameplay and addictive micro txs. Same with the rest of the blizzard lineup actually. They all used to be so much fun, but now they just ring hollow even when I’m having a good time.
