Do you remember which video triggered the popup?

Interesting. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

I was reading through the DockFlare documentation but I’m still confused about if the email setup requires the paid workers plan to work as an alias service. I thought it could be a possible addy.io replacement but the $5/mo workers subscription makes it a non-starter compared to $1/mo for addy.

Are these youtube ads or are you saying the app itself is displaying the ad? No mention of it yet on github.

Sounds like proxmox would fit the bill. Virtualize everything with LXC/Docker/VM depending on the app and you should be good to go. Moonlight should work in a vm running debian desktop for example.

Anyone know why grimmory isn’t on the list or site?

Edit: I submitted it and it’s now part of the index.

Then explain why the VRAM requiremwnts for 4K gaming hasn’t really changed in the past 10-15 years.

“past performance does not predict future results”

Anyway. Any performance limits due to the physical limit of transistors will be overcome with things like 3D cache, increased cores and better multithreading performance. Can’t wait to see what EUV and better materials tech brings especially on the efficiency front. Unfortunately, the exponential performance gains we’re seeing atm is geared towards ML but I believe it’ll eventually make it’s way towards consumer tech.

Add to that, the human eye only sees up to 500fps in ideal conditions. Why would you pay a bunch of money for extra framea that you physicall can’t see?

Eyes don’t work in fps and the 500fps limit is a myth that is shown to be false in the linked articles. The need for >1000fps is more about how our brains perceive motion and getting as close as possible to eliminating judder.

Also, talking about costs isn’t really relevant when we’re talking about future tech. What is aspirational today will be the norm tomorrow. We’ll get there first with upscalers and mfg and who knows what else is in the pipeline to improve the rendering process.

Tbh, I think we’ve reached a point of diminishing returns on video game graphics. Do we really need games to be any more photorealistic and power hungry than they are now?

Need? No. Want? Absolutely.

There are two interesting articles that have shaped my view on this:

• https://blurbusters.com/blur-busters-law-amazing-journey-to-future-1000hz-displays-with-blurfree-sample-and-hold/

• https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/perfectillusion.pdf

I’m not hung up on who is right about 1000Hz vs 1800Hz, only that >=1000Hz at >=1000fps is the goal. We’re a long way away from that when the best gaming CPU can only manage ~600fps in CS2 at 1080p.

One of the digitalfoundry guys got hands-on time with a prototype monitor at CES and played a game at >500fps and while he couldn’t really convey what it was like, it was clear that the experience was very different than even playing on 360Hz displays.

We’re at least 2-3 hardware generations away from being able to push >1000fps with relatively simple games and much further away for AAA games. I think it’s something worth looking forward to.

We know there’s a growing number of people who use their phone as their primary and only computing device. And the success of the steam deck is proof that a “good enough” experience can attract an audience. It is also likely that Valve is planning for a future where the Steam android app will be capable of installing and playing games locally without the 30% Google tax.

None of that will change the fact that gaming will always push technology forward with the need for faster CPUs and GPUs and that will never be the domain of phones where efficiency is king. There is no reason to worry.

Good job on the headline, made me click. I found the full quote interesting:

Do you think GameNative might in some way redefine the way people think about PC gaming on portable devices?

Utkarsh: Yes, I do, and that’s the reason I’m choosing to work on it! I genuinely feel that in the next year or two, GameNative is going to become a complete replacement for handheld PCs like the Steam Deck, and in the medium-long term make expensive, bulky gaming PCs an anachronism.

This seems overly optimistic and there’s no mention about Valve actively working on fex as a possible precursor to the Deck2 or Deck3 being an arm powered device. Then there’s the problem of heat dissipation in devices that haven’t been designed with that type of sustained usage in mind. Will people buy bulkier phones without water and dust resistance in large enough quantities to be sustainable?

I’ve been excited about PC emulation on my phone and it has been a surprisingly good experience for most non-AAA games (except for the hit on battery life), but it’ll never be able to duplicate the immersion that only becomes possible on a large display with the necessary horsepower to bring the game to life. PC gaming isn’t going anywhere and neither are dedicated handhelds.
