  • Interesting!
    I could only find limited info about the SoC's TjMax / operating temperatures, although we could assume it's somewhat similar to the actual Tegra X1, in which case:

    • This datasheet lists a TjMax of 105°C (page 2) and several thresholds before that (page 17) at which the APU would downclock (or shut down), with no actual value unfortunately.
    • Gamers Nexus talks about the above, with a supposed throttling threshold at 70°C - and possibly 90°C - where frequency drops by 6%.
    • Digital Foundry made a video testing Switch overclocking years ago (apologies for the ResetEra link, but there's a good summary there), where they had operating temperatures in the 60s (though I'm not sure that's the junction temperature).

    That being said, my (V1) Switch is modded so I could test that a bit more, and check operating temperatures and frequencies before/after a repaste.

  • To be fair, Heroic already use their GitHub repo to track issues.
    I agree with you that Discord shouldn't even part of the equation to begin with, but it's become so prevalent everywhere that I imagine it's hard for devs to fully bypass.

    Developer interview: my Q&A with the creator of Lutris

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/29459679

    A while ago I had the good fortune of organizing a fair-sized interview with one member of the team behind Lutris.

    Lutris itself is an open gaming platform for Linux (obviously, including the Steam Deck!). Lutris helps you install and play video games from all eras and from most gaming systems. By leveraging and combining existing emulators, engine re-implementations and compatibility layers, it gives you a central interface to launch all your games. The client can connect with existing services like Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam to make your game libraries easily available. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user made scripts.

    You can find more information about Lutris before you read this little interview (or after, that’s up to you!)

  • I'm pretty sure I read Fullmetal Alchemist 15 or so years ago, but I don't remember the story well at all.
    I've seen Avatar the Last Airbender mentioned countless times, but never took a look at it, I'll check it out!

    Looking for recommendations

    Hi there, I'm trying to get into more anime as of late, but don't really know where to start.

    For reference, here's my anilist.co with what I've watched (AFAIR).
    I really enjoyed Sousou no Frieren recently and I've also watched a lot of Studio Ghibli, with Mononoke-hime being an all-time favourite of mine. And FWIW Meitantei Conan is my favourite manga, although I haven't watched the anime that much.

    Thanks!

    EDIT: Thanks for all your recommendations already, I've added them to my watchlist and will check them out!

  • The Plague Tale duology, both Innocence and Requiem, is probably my favourite story-driven game series.
    It resembles TLOU in some ways, but with a smaller scope, and the storyline resonated more with me (as in siblings vs parent/child in TLOU).

    Build for 1440p gaming

    Hi there, I'm starting to look into what PC I could get to (slowly?) migrate over from primarily console-based gaming. I would be buying from Canada fwiw.

    Requirements

    • 1440p would be the sweet spot most of the time. I have a 240Hz VRR 1440p screen which I would be playing on 80% of the time. I could go up to 4K at times (TV gaming).
    • A compact PC would be ideal, I have little space on my desk or behind my TV.
    • Primarily using Linux for gaming, but I might periodically use Windows for Game pass stuff.
    • It would likely be used as a HTTPC every once in a while.

    Budget

    I could go up to $2,000 CAD, but wouldn't mind spending less (I'm not really aware of current components prices).
    I already have all required peripherals at the ready.

    Expectations

    Coming from a setup with Xbox Series X, PS5 Pro and Steam Deck OLED, I'm essentially hoping to retire the first two in the process, but would keep the Deck.

    Xbox Spring Sale 2024 now live

    Nothing much for me, I wanted to finally pick up the DLCs for FH4, but those aren't on sale, and I was also hoping for some OG/360 games to be on sale, but very few are...
    I might get Beyond the Dawn.

    The aspect ratio looks extremely cinematic, assuming that's what they'll keep in the final game (a la The Order: 1886).

    Quick review / impressions of the Pulse Elite headset

    Hey, I thought I'd share some sort of a review of the Pulse Elite, now that I've had it for a week - I'm honestly really happy with the headset for the most part!

    Background: I'm not an audiophile. I've had a Sony WH-1000XM3 as my sole headset for 4+ years (but it recently gave up on me, so I was looking for a replacement). I also briefly tried the Audeze Maxwell last year, and although sound quality was spectacular, comfort was abysmal, so I ended up getting rid of it.

    Pros:

    • Sound quality - obviously a step-down from the Maxwell, but otherwise nothing to complain about. Imaging is especially great.
    • Comfort - entirely subjective, but as someone with (relatively) thick-framed glasses (~3mm temples), comfort is a non-issue. I can wear it for hours at a time without any fatigue or pressure. It might get a bit warm, if that's a concern for you.
    • Sound isolation - No ANC, which I was used to, but passive isolation is good.
    • Multi-device use - I've been able to use it

    PlayStation Pulse Elite Headset Review

    I've been waiting for reviews to drop on the Pulse Elite and I'm glad to see it is as well received as I'd hoped!

    I splurged on the Audeze Maxwell sometime last year and although the sound was stellar, the comfort was not, so I ultimately had to return them. This headset seems to be a great (much cheaper) alternative with better comfort, so I'm likely going to get it day one.

    Anyone else interested in the Pulse Elite?

    The extended "preorder" trailer we got yesterday managed to properly sell me on the game, at least gameplay-wise, and I'll probably get it day one (assuming it runs well at launch).

    Blurry PSVR2?

    I've decided to start tackling my PSVR2 backlog and I played a few hours of Moss yesterday.
    While the game is fun and perfectly adequate to get my "VR legs" going, I've noticed that regardless of how I tweak the focal distance, height of the headset, the IPD or if I even tilt the headset slightly, it doesn't really help with removing the outer peripheral "blurriness" of the image, if that makes sense. The centre is pretty much clear, but anything on the outer edge isn't - fwiw, eye tracking is working without a hitch.

    Is there some "secret adjustment" I'm just unaware of? I should mention I've got prescription lenses from Hons VR, but those are not too bulky and allow roughly the same adjustment than without (and are definitely easier to adjust with than with glasses).
