@gnukeith This is the main benefit. It's a single configuration that developers can optimise for. I know steamdeck verified is more about accessibility and compatibility than performance but if there's a steam machine badge devs are gonna go for that and protondb platinum

[Matthew Bates @MatthewBates117]

@HankCooper007 @forward_em11371 @MaestroShark Of course you can, but it will likely be difficult for a novice to achieve a comparable form factor. It's basically a low-end gaming desktop with the convenience of a console but, like the SteamDeck, lots of developers will optimise specifically for this configuration

@CultistZolon @VexTheSunEater proprietary data sets now that the public Internet has been sucked dry.

[Matthew Bates @MatthewBates117]

@CultistZolon @VexTheSunEater keyword search which are even more susceptible to SEO tricks and the human incentive to write is diminished leading to LLMs learning from LLM content.

There's a reason GitHub, Office365, Dropbox etc. are enabling 'learn from you data' by default; access to unpoisoned,

@BigMT33907 @mauthe_doog @Wario64 The patch notes explain that it's because many of the game engine names are intellectual property and since tag are community driven they might not be accurate and they expect developers to write stuff like that in the description/store page if it's relevant as they would know.

I use this monitor for work and for gaming so crisp text and high quality visuals are important to me. I also play a lot of horror games so deep blacks are really immersive now.

Also HDR actually works now 🙂

Would recommend.

Recently bought a MSI MPG 272URX QD-OLED 4K Ultra HD 26.5” OLED Gaming Monitor from Currys https://t.co/2Z1IattXsX

It's a great addition to my setup and the refresh rate, colour range and resolution are all great.

You can really see the difference between my old IP (right).

@RohanKarMooN I love The Evil Within games but pretty sure both have mid metacritic scores at best

[Matthew Bates @MatthewBates117]

@pyroembracer @LarryBundyJr It's just keys and bosses rather than abilities though, and only really DS1 had the interconnected level design

[Matthew Bates @MatthewBates117]

@TheRetroMartin @LarryBundyJr I somehow did Tomb of Giants up until the lordvessel wall before going to Undead Burg because the game was called Prepare to Die Edition and I just assumed the catacombs were supposed to be that hard outside of the tutorial of Undead Asylum so this was the rite of kindling for me

@EscoTrajan @AdamRackis People who don't have the diligence to review the LLM generated code probably won't be willing to hand write the tests or at least produce a test spec accurate enough that it doesn't allow the agent to just write tests that pat itself on the back

@TafferKing451 RE1make on Gamecube at university in my dark ass dorm room drawing my own maps to mark where I left Crimson Heads so I could never ever go back there is a core memory for me. It made survival horror my favourite genre for life.

@rdrcowgirl @silverrebi On professional he dies forever 😢

I know this because I was so happy to see him after the water room that I mimed hugging him and on the Wii version swinging the remote triggers a quick knife

@mattpocockuk Onion architecture can complement this idea depending on the application.

@0xSero @cerebras Spark is pro only right?
