Just don’t buy shitty games.

AMD announced they were released earlier than planned.

I understand but that’s still not a leak.

I don’t think “we released source code with fill MIT license headers” constitutes a leak.

And what would have been the problem with a burger festival? I don’t get it.

I think this is a bit more involved than extended file format support.

Also not entirely sure what I would use it for since I’ve mostly seen it with rips of Blu-ray movies and shows, never smaller files. I thought its main advantage was holding multiple video, audio, and data streams.

WebM shows that Matroska is excellent for streaming. It’s the same container, WebM just mandates a set of codecs (just as MP4 as an offshoot of MOV can theoretically hold non-MPEG codecs but nobody supports this in the real world). With formal Matroska support, something like combining a HEVC video track with an Opus audio would be possible.

WebM is just Mastroska with most features disabled that are not relevant to streaming and a mandated set of codecs, so basic Mastroska support would have been possible years ago, simply by accepting the Matroska MIME types.

Yeah, that’s not happening. 0% chance

Just because it’s illegal? His appointed judges already rules that he can do anything while in office. That includes cancelling elections. His supporters like him to become a dictator.

Hiding the loads would require them to redesign the game.

And that’s why I pointed to Doom 2016 where the porting team placed a wall here and there to reduce the the amount of stuff that needs to be loaded and rendered. There are ways if Ubisoft was willing to but they rather keep the money than to spend it on retail storage.

It depends on why it’s slow.

The transfer speeds of the game cartridge is slower than installing to internal storage or even the new MicroSD Express cards. That’s a Nintendo fuckup but Ubisoft could have taken this into account and either reduce the size of data to stream or mask loading somehow (that’s why I mentioned the doors in Metroid Prime).

If you look at the 3rd party games landscape on S2, it’s clear that publishers don’t want to pay for the full storage on retail cartridges. Ubisoft are just the first to use the Nintendo fuckup as convenient excuse.

Star Wars Outlaws wasn’t done with the Switch 2 in mind, so if the Switch 2 has limitations that the target PC spec or PS5 / Xbox series S doesn’t it’s natural performance will suffer.

Or it’s just an excuse for them to use the game key cards instead of a proper cartridge.

Doom 2016 and Eternal weren’t originally made for Switch either but with a bit of elbow grease and the occasional well-placed wall to limit rendering requirements and the team at Panic Button pulled it off.

they just hide it by keeping the door closed until the area on the other side is ready

Yes and with the exception of the lair of that plant boss, I don’t think it was noticeable.

You guys remember when Metroid Prime on GameCube streamed map data off an optical disc and there were practically no load times thanks to a few well places doors?

If they actually partnered with framework that’s an instabuy for me.

Why there isn’t a Framework Desktop option with SteamOS is beyond me but I have trouble imagining how the name Frame would relate to a PC other than the Framework brand.

Too many floridamen anyway

FYI: Konami has not delisted Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 which contains the first three MGS games.

Regular price is lower than Delta’s and currently even 25% off on Fanatical: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/metal-gear-solid-master-collection-vol-1

Probably in solidarity with Denmark against Trump aggression.

A new power brick is needed anyway. That’s why FW now has a much more powerful one as well.

The 395 obviously would throttle if heat or power become a problem.

If GPD can put the 395 in a handheld, Framework can put it in a 16" chassis.

What are you talking about? Of course there is newer hardware than a Radeon RX 7700. The 7900 specifically.

The CPU also has no Ryzen 395 option either which Framework source for their unmodular desktop PC.

The Taliban were also a relatively lightly armed group of bandits who were not stopped by the US-equipped Afghan army at all because the people of Afghanistan actually wanted the Taliban back. That’s why I made the connection to your polling remark.
