What the hell?

My drive is lined with tall trees and when the birds are doing their migrations it becomes pretty well polka-dotted. I’d kill for an actual garage =/

Taking out anything that there ends up being a 50+ page argument on your forums about seems pretty darn weak.

Ask the masses who download all sorts of random-ass games on steam.

How about when someone uses it to upload malicious code for the masses to consume? This isn’t just about getting lame not-games onto steam.

typically the architecture of the console from which it came. In this case, the NES, which had an 8-bit processor architecture.

as in, from the 8-bit Mario games. low color resolution, low pixel density, etc.

Gotta love the semi-recent trend of making set-top boxes with weird top surfaces so they literally have to be the top-most box in your set.

your wording is a tad... extreme. Yes, I’m aware of the positional tracking in the newer models, along with other improvements to the tech with the goal of improving the experience for users prone to motion-sickness. Which is why I’m hopeful for CV1. I’m just wondering if it will be enough, given that I seem to have a…

Right, I know all that. I’m just hoping that the improvements made in the Retail version are enough.

I’m hoping that my brain is compatible with the retail Rift. I have DK1 and it did a number on me. I seem to be moderately-susceptible to motion sickness, and after only a 30-minute session I’d have nausea that would last all day. =/

indeed. Give me health pickups and one autosave per level (if any!) anyday.

yeah, the wording there was meant to distinguish it from the bundle that includes the box with the laptop.

The article actually never states in clear terms whether or not the price includes a GPU (I read through it twice to make sure), so his question is legitimate.

Amused, but not uncomfortable in the least. Maybe I’m jaded. I guess I should probably play this game.

PenTile’s biggest problem is its reduction of color resolution; luminance resolution (which is how you’d generally detect jaggies and other pixel artifacts) remains normal. My comments about PenTile are mainly dealing with how it introduces an annoying 2x2 diamond pattern overlaid over the image, due to the slight…

Er, because it’s not a TV? I use two 28" 4K displays with my PC. If I’m sitting up, I’m about 2 feet from it. More commonly, leaning back in my chair, about 3 feet. I can still discern individual pixel widths and the various artifacts that they impose upon the image (noticeable on any hard-edged shapes such as lineart…

4K at 12.5" is about 350PPI, which would be absolutely wonderful and is not “so dense that it’s silly.”

I can’t say I’ve personally witnessed any machines get screwed up by the upgrade itself (and we do a bunch of these), but I can attest to the rollback sometimes going screwy. They need to do a bit more work on that.

er, what? ‘clean install’ is not remotely a ‘bait and switch’.
