Good deal but ... 8,000 Hz on an analog joystick?

Damn, they're scrapping UFOs now for their high purity steel (/s)

And it boots Windows 98SE

And there's 480p files of Star Trek: The Next Generation still on the hard drive

Akirrrrraaaaaa!

Awh fuck, it's so pretty! It's exactly as imagined

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Haha, there it is

Well yes but they're also spiteful; if I recall history correctly, the disenfranchised elite in France during the Revolution sought refuge in neighboring territories and then hired mercenaries and private armies to try to return and recapture their villas.

So it's not like "they just flee", their egos are too damn large to remain in quiet wealthy exile.

I just finished a 13 hour long hardcore Iron Man run in ITR2 in one-shot.

Dying means losing all progress anyway

Don't fear the reaper.

I think the primary reason there's so much psychological revulsion in this thread is because the only times you see something like this on Earth is in deep cave footage

And typically these types of ecological niches are completely filled with insects

Evolution primes the brain to pay attention to threats

No insects? They're hiding. —> Dread/Fear

After watching this, I'm kinda glad it was cancelled; it seems pretty underwhelming compared to the base game, it's just more levels/padded out content with a highly forgettable cast, compared to Kane/the protagonist of Q4 who gets Stroggified

Holy hell, thank you for posting this.

This is laser focused on my interests, I played Quake 1/2/3/4 straight through, and had no idea there was an expansion for Q4.

I was playing the Q1 expansions that I missed (Dissolution of Eternity and Scourge of Armagon) in VR recently, completing them

I just need AV2 to not blow chunks on VR/Streaming.

AV1 is currently hamstrung by decode compute costs, I'm sending 6K video @ 120 FPS and at 200 Mbits (25 MB/s) it looks like pea soup.

At 400-500 Mbps (62.5 MB/s), you have twice as much network overhead but somehow H.264 still decodes faster even though it's twice as much raw data per second.

For straight up video file compression, AV1 seems to be absolutely unmatched if you use "peak framerate" (say 120) and then VFQ / variable quality set to like 35.

I was able to convert a 900 MB (!!) H264 video of VR gameplay (6K across, 3K/eye!) into 96 MB, and slide right under Discord's idiotic 100 MB limit.
