  • 4K is just another dumb marketing jargon to make people think something is better than what we currently have.

    I always bring up the argument of transitioning from VHS to DVD, there were vast improvements there in terms of quality. DVD is still around, why? Because it just does good enough and that’s what all anyone can ask for. Blu-Ray is incredibly old now and eventually will take DVD’s spot someday as the ‘good enough’ standard because really streaming is dependent on internet connection speed which can vary the quality which exits itself out of the argument.

    And with every gaming generation that comes and goes, it has become harder and harder to notice any groundbreaking differences. It began to get harder when we went from PS3 - PS4 for example. It is now all about just resolutions and nothing else.



  • So the engineer state that it can run ‘all games of the market’. Okay, cool, but at what kind of settings?

    Like, it undermines the expectations of what one has when it comes to approaching the idea of having a PC to run games they want to see run flawlessly. I have been there before where I was not satisfied running games at Medium, hell, I wasn’t satisfied when I ran some games at even High. My targeted goal of building a machine, is if it can run at least 90% of games that I throw at it, with optimum performance. Suffice to say, I think I’ve achieved that.

    If someone gets a Steam Machine and find that it cannot run that particular game someone buys the Steam Machine for at their preference, you’re going to see refunds flying around.

    The Steam Machine development should’ve never went in with the concept of “just run games”, they should’ve went in with the concept of “run games and run them well”.





  • That’s what I do with my job. PPTO, PTO and even a points-system exist primarily for when you want or need time off. I use it all the time. Sure, it’d be nice and awesome to save up the PTO and get that nice juicy bonus after a year (applicable with where I work). However, sometimes, the job itself doesn’t encourage you to be at your best at all times, it can be a grind and vice versa.

    Fuck anyone who frowns on those that prioritize work/life balances. Because it’s clear as day, what working hard and selfless for the sake of the company does for you when you get fucked over anyways.




  • I prefer to be minimally informed than wildly misinformed.

    There is way too much and always has been, this tug of war of which angle is the most righteous than that angle. Until I see some honest and serious action towards a better tomorrow that’ll benefit ##all## (scratch that, how about the majority of those that just want live with as little conflict as possible), I can’t care too much about waving flags, playing labels, shouting buzzwords and brainwashing myself to think a certain way to appease some demographic.

    It is incredibly taxing and exhausting.
