I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s another spinoff like Alyx that releases with the steam frame.

Dolphin was a pretty mixed bag at the time. I got through Xenoblade Chronicles on that system, but I remember one of the regions on the mechonis(?) would only do like 7fps at best, but other areas would do 20-30. But monkeyball worked pretty well, as did some of the other GameCube games.

But I was using that system when Sandy Bridge was already out, and still using it when Haswell came out, because I was a broke student. So the software may have been a little more developed than when you were messing around with it.

Also I don’t think the e8400, or any of the core 2 duo/quad cpu’s had hyperthreading. I know the Pentium 4 had it, not sure about the Pentium D

I’m pretty sure I got through persona 3 on that core 2 system. Either an e8400 or q6600. I swapped back and forth a couple times because turns out quad core wasn’t a straight upgrade at the time.

Some great improvements!

Also, thats the first time I’ve looked at the recommended specs in a long time. They’re reasonable, but man I remember running pcsx2 on a Core 2 Duo back in the day lol

I just hope this one isn’t ray tracing only.

I still remember the disappointment of accidentally downloading the raytraced version of exodus and having to download the normal version overnight. I still don’t have a raytracing capable GPU, but it’s been absolutely fine for anything where raytracing isn’t a hard requirement.

It took a while, but seems like they eventually got it sorted?

It’s not great that it was broken trash at release, but it’s better to become a great game than to stay a broken pile of trash.

Even the ps4/xb1 version got pretty good from what I’ve heard

If you’re having a hard time getting into it, I’d skip all the side quests until you get to Novigrad. I started and dropped it a few times because I got bored of wandering around the swamp, but to me the game comes alive in Novigrad

Really well written, and frankly not surprising.

When everything is going to hell, why care about the future? It’s a common, though depressing sentiment. Extending your lifespan isn’t a great reason to not smoke when you have no hope for the future.

Hopefully we can start to turn it around in the next few years.

Benefits of being a tech hoarder. I’ve got backups. And an unexpected benefit of the slowing of tech advancement is that stuff that’s 10+ years old still holds up pretty well.

Essential for the ongoing battle of trying to keep shorts and recommended the fuck off of my YouTube subscription feed.

It’s a subscription feed. Ffs, just show me the most recent videos from the creators I’m subscribed to, in chronological order of release. The home page is for recommended videos
