Have you tried using the Chat feature (GPT-4) to do searching? I just tried it, and it surprisingly works really well for some inquiries.

Like, use their chat AI, but as a natural language search engine. It’s integrated to Bing’s index so it can peruse it itself, so you don’t have to wade through all the Microsoft click-baits crap they put everywhere.

Gatekeeping retrogaming is a big L.

What’s the point of blocking a bunch of Linux communities? I agree with your right to do so. Just not sure I see the point.

Yeah, that’s the type of immature and childish response that completely ignores the entire situation I expect from a “troll”.

Pathetic. Have fun with that.

Trolling was pathetic then and it’s pathetic now. Most of us grew out of that phase we had ten years ago.

It’s legit, is sent from the same shortcode that account updates and such get sent from, and their official app also has notices about it.

Don’t really see anything wrong with the way they did it.

The trackpads get slept on heavily for fps games as well. If you get it dialed in just right with motion control at a low sensitivity as well, you can get about as accurate as a mouse honestly.

That’s how I feel. If Meta is going to have social media networks they might as well follow open standards.

It’s funny, I’ve never thought about the render-ahead queue manipulation being a way to make lower FPS more tolerable.

I don’t mind that the game is targeting 30fps on consoles but man I cannot for the life of me get used to it. I got a Steam Deck and targeting 30fps would let me run more games at native resolution but I haven’t been able to handle the lag and choppiness so I’ve been settling for 40-45.

For me, a lot of it came down to the fact that Epic Games more or less dropped Unreal Tournament 4 to focus on what appeared to be a low effort adaptation of PUBG slapped over another game, and in doing so basically ripped the heart out of deathmatch arena shooters, and all we got out of it was a game that didn’t excel at any specific thing beyond appeal to children.

At this point I’m still sour about UT, but Fortnite has gotten enough updating to its technology and graphics that I’m less angry about it pretty much becoming Unreal Engine’s flagship game and more angry about what it represents. The game has always been fine.
