@RogeeRoger why do you love paying for useless subscriptions and not being able to run the software you want to on the hardware you bought? That's how the other companies make their money back. Valve doesn't do that, they let you do what you want and all the features are included w/ the game

@blalalabluaxxi @sosonosonosono try building a similar spec pc in that form factor and show me the price then

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@Grandeur_023 @Wario64 The main advantages are form factor and being a specific config that devs are optimizing/testing compatibility for. It's sadly not overpriced if you compare it to a similar spec small form factor pc

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@Jay2Goat_ all hardware being built right now is doa, this is just the cost of buying hardware with significant amounts of ram/storage in 2026

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@Danny8bit it's not ridiculous compared to building a similar spec pc (at a larger form factor), and especially if memory prices keep rising, they have to keep the price slightly above market as a buffer to avoid having to raise it every couple months (which they might still have to)

@luistaiko @privliano @EonBluejay @tamarindjuic @stupidtechtakes obvioisly if you're using only the cli you're not going to have a gui for screen brightness, why are you pretending to be this stupid?

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@luistaiko @privliano @EonBluejay @tamarindjuic nothing "comes with linux" that's not how any of this works. Anyone (sane) who is installing a linux distro to use as a personal computer is going to have a desktop environment on it (that probably supports brightness control over HDMI) by the end of the install process.

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@luistaiko @privliano @EonBluejay @tamarindjuic This is like saying you need to install a keyboard layout on windows, it's a part of the install process for your distro, every (regular) user is going to have a DE (and all the popular ones do this), it's not an external app that needs to be installed afterwards

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@ChaddGhostal saturn composite for comparison

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@ChaddGhostal Sonic 1 in fucked up mega drive model 1 video output son or sonic 1 in ultra sharp rgb scart daughter

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@An_Actual_mole @Meelsie143 I mean if you were one of the people still using a crt for your ps3/360/wii u in 2013 you also had that back then

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@Bnnuybinch @ChaddGhostal looking into it a bit more it looks like even the later revision composite circuitry in the ntsc model 2/3/nomad have basically the same rainbow effects (pal is a proper color video format so it doesn't do it at all)

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@Bnnuybinch @ChaddGhostal I think I've been gaslit by the only video I could find of the rainbow effect in motion being someone showing a mega drive with fucked up colors into thinking mine was especially bad because it moved in the same way, but also it does this if I try to play blue sphere

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@Pocho22059768 I assume they're pausing to get the timing right not because it matters to the skip

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@RobinPoedev no you don't get it the ai sharpening filters makes it look like tik tok edits and those are awesome

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@ChaddGhostal I think it's specifically early japanese ones that are like that, but mine also just completely fucks up sometimes, it just stops outputting anything for s3k special stages 90%of the time for example.
French model 1 cheaped out by only including rgb output so they don't do this

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@ChaddGhostal (idk why I said video instead of composite, bth of these are on the same unmodified japanese model 1 mega drive)

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@ChaddGhostal the rainbows are cool in pictures but they look terrible in motion lmao

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@vamp_joey @JumboMaser @MightyGazelle1 And then there's also the costs of buying/manufacturing all the equipment that the studios don't have anymore

[Magnus🔻 @LibturdChungus]

@vamp_joey @JumboMaser @MightyGazelle1 outsourcing was a pretty common practice to the point it has a wikipedia page that shows up when I search for examples lmao, but my point is this would have to be done fully in house because you're essentially (re)creating a new animation pipeline from scratch
