Eheran, w The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility - Gamers Nexus

What do people like about that character? When I saw him years ago he was clueless regarding technical details and somewhat childish. Did that change?

agressivelyPassive,

It’s entertainment. I think hardly anyone actually watches guys videos because of the details - which are often enough irrelevant anyways.

I think a lot of people look to LTT for guidance on PC components and trust their conclusions even though they’re not as technical as something like gamers nexus.

Hello_there,

People just want to answer the question: what gets me more fps" - or "should I get this one on sale? Or go for the more expensive version?"

Elderos,

They’re making mistakes on this kind of stuff.

NightOwl,

I don’t think that is the case anymore. Saw a comment in an unrelated thread of someone talking up how LTT takes the time to make sure their sponsors are trustworthy in response to someone saying to not trusted whatever products youtubers shill in sponsored segments.

So there is a number of people who do see LTT as a respectable and honest outlet that takes their recommendations seriously.

Eheran,

With details you mean the actual tests and what not? If that is the case, I highly doubt it. LTT is even quoted/referenced/talked about by people like Dave from EEVBlog.

agressivelyPassive,

I can’t really judge the tests, I know too little about them. My point was rather that these tests are not really relevant to 99% of buyers. If, for example, GPU A is 3.5% faster than B, but costs 5% more, but also draws 5% more power, is that really a relevant information for a gamer?

flower3,

Yes

agressivelyPassive,

If you think that, you don’t understand how statistics and computers work.

flower3,

I guess you don’t understand how gamers think.

BudgieMania,

I think it's mostly a "be first, be smart, or cheat" situation, and he was first.

By the time the other productions overtook them in quality, LTT was already established enough to not get affected I guess.

EccTM, w The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility - Gamers Nexus

Level1Techs, GamersNexus and Paul’s Hardware.
That’s the true trifecta of tech knowledge, in my opinion.

LTT are too busy writing jokes and hiring more merch staff these days.

PS: feel free to suggest other good tech channels

EccTM,

Just read the response Linus posted on the LTT Forums in relation to this video, and I’m now officially unsubscribed from anything LMG-related.

bloopernova, w Is there a mouse that vibrates?
@bloopernova@programming.dev avatar

I’d like a mouse with variable friction. Pair that with haptic feedback and you could make some very cool use cases, like simulating lock picking in RPGs.

sLLiK, w The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility - Gamers Nexus

It’s a bad look, and I won’t make excuses for them, but none of this really surprises me, either. I still like their content, and I already understood most of this to be the case by inference without it being spelled out like this. Their coverage has been good enough, and when I need someone to genuinely go hard on the nuts and bolts of a thing, Gamers Nexus is the better choice.

The laptop sponsorship thing is a perfect example. He straight up says he invested in them, which instantly makes the video revealing their latest model a clear extension of that sponsorship. Did I still keep watching? Hell yeah, because the laptop modularity looks awesome. Should I trust everything in the vid is presented objectively without bias?

…have you been on the Internet before?

the_q, w What to do now that ds4windows is dead again?

Doesn’t steam have native support for ds4?

Albbi,

Yeah, it does. This can sometimes require launching steam in Big Picture Mode first, then select the game you want. A bit annoying to take that extra step but Steam has upped their ps5 controller support lately.

@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

what if the game isnt on steam?

the_q,

You can still launch games through steam and use steam’s assets.

How do you not know you can add any game or program to steam?

Moonrise2473,

But I play mostly from gog, and my Intel GPU doesn’t play nice with the steam overlay (transparency becomes black and everything becomes 5 fps)

Also it means I have to waste 15 precious minutes troubleshooting the game. Pad isn’t recognized, try via steam, add it manually, see if it works via xinput, and so on.

*The end for steam in those countries.

Either they will pony up the cash or resort to piracy. But in regards to the second option: All publishers and storefront loose without regional adjusted pricing for the regions.

Casmael, w The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility - Gamers Nexus

Wow that billet labs thing is fucking not good man

DScratch, w Windows 10 only has a year of support: 12 months left to keep Copilot off your desktop or learn Linux

Made the jump to Bazzite.

Working out pretty well so far!

Only complaint at this point is the desktop system blocks unfocused windows from capturing keypresses. (A sensible security measure).
But it prevents Discord from picking up my PTT keybind when not in a full screen game.

mke, w Europeans can save gaming!

Direct link to the initiative: citizens-initiative.europa.eu/…/000007

the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames

raptir, w Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC?

I’m not sure about Windows, but it works out of the box on Linux.

the_q, w Why Steam is so slow to start?

Operating system? Storage type?

Darkassassin07, w Is there a mouse that vibrates?
@Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca avatar

Seems like it’d throw your aim off…

vlad76,
@vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah, but if you’re into single player games then it just adds to immersion.

Darkassassin07,
@Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s fair.

Was just the first thing that came to mind.

CoolMatt,

That sounds like force feedback joysticks for aerial combat games,where the recoil is in the peripheral.

But in modern shooters, the recoil is on screen instead, so I wonder how well a new vibrating mouse that recoils itself would pair with that.

I just remembered that someone already did what I was about to suggest:

Willy, w Is there a mouse that vibrates?

I had one 20 years back. it was cool, but somewhat limited in its adoption.

AlwaysNowNeverNotMe, w Is there a mouse that vibrates?
@AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social avatar

I had a steelseries mouse with some vibration settings. But I don't think it took game data, more like a few programmable bumps you could set up to trigger x seconds after you hit a mouse button.

EccTM,

Same, SteelSeries Rival 700. It could be used by games in the same way as a controller, but the game had to implement support specifically for it, and developers aren’t going out of their way to support a single gimmick mouse.

I think it had a few options to use the vibration for kill tracking or health alerts in CounterStrike, but that’s all I can remember, and I still never used it.

@wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

There will be ways to force your Windows 10 machine to pull down the continued updates meant for government and extended support contracts, just like there was for Windows 7.

Not a good or particularly safe way to keep your PC, and even the extended updates will stop eventually, but worth knowing in case anyone is afraid of making the full switch to Linux.
