That said, it's perfectly valid to complain about a product not meeting expectations or realistic standards that have been set. That's just business, if the product is no good it doesn't matter how much time and money you put into it.
Though I'm nice about it, no one sets out to make a shit product apart from actual scammers. I'm usually more interested in breaking down how something failed to deliver.
Unless you have bleeding edge hardware yes, the highest end stuff usually requires that you dissipate 600+w of heat continuously at full tilt. I'm fine with running the hardware just below it's stock throttling limits (which are well below safety cutoffs) which these days is in the 90s. It's just kind of the reality of it if you don't want to experience what it's like to game on the deck of an aircraft carrier or go through the trouble of water-cooling everything.
FWIW I've put a lot of cards through this kind of "abuse" and then handed them down, they all worked for many years after.
My GPU is even hotrodded with the fans and shrouds removed and two side panel fans close to it, and the gaps sealed with gaffers tape to improve static pressure. Works really well but still, it's a lot of heat to move out of a relatively small device.
Just a heads up with short throw you have to be really sure to have a perfectly flat screen surface to project on, even just .5 throw means any kind of pull down screen will be a nightmare to use, even tab tensioned isn't great (but acceptable)
Putting it in a bigger box with more cooling capacity will always make a much faster computer, so that's not going away anytime soon and someone will always find a way to use 20% more power than is available every time a faster computer is made. A lot of things just come down to how well you can cool something, engines, brakes, lights, computers, batteries... how hard do you want to go and how long do you want to do it often determines the form of things.
My computer fits on my desk as it is so making it smaller gains me nothing and just makes it less useful.
Maybe tower PCs will become slightly more niche again in the future, but they'll always be around for enthusiasts like me.
It Mako me angry. There's enough there I think it would be nice to have a little rover that could go like 30 mph and haul your loot.
If you liked that it's based on a browser game called Kingdom of Loathing, the gameplay is not as tight or refined but there's plenty to do and it's pretty enjoyable to play when you have some time to kill on a work pc lol.
You could say I'm a fisting artist.
RPGs almost always need a little hint on what's actually useful, this game doesn't have respecting AFAIK and is obviously quite long.
I've thought about this, I'm afraid my take won't be too deep, but that's just the cycle.
You pull things apart or away from their natural state and destroy what their original properties were to create something with different properties. There's no other way to make anything, creation is destruction, destruction is creation, and so the cycle will continue.
Even when. Your intent is purely destructive in nature you are creating something new, disordered and chaotic though it might be.
And it's not just humans doing it, it's happening all around you all the time, the universe breathes in this constant cycle of destruction and creation, no moment existing twice.
That's why it's unscored.
The logistics just boggle the mind. It's an interesting concept I do want to explore and will when I have some time to look into it deeper. I think I know what you are saying a little better, I just can't envision it working in such a global economy that's required to give people a high quality of life.
Also I don't think the choice ever should be shit job or starve, I just don't think you need to eliminate the concept of money or regulated "free markets" to do that. In a rational market system you gain a lot of efficiency by having it steer people to more efficient processes and encourage people to do the difficult or unpleasant things that need done with rewards.
We value similar things we just have different ideas of how you get there.
Yup, it's not in the specs that it supports intel graphics.
These days it's expected that any directX/Vulkan supporting card can run just about anything with varying levels of performance, back in the day it was very very specific what a 3d game engine supported. If your card wasn't on the list it wasn't going to run outside of software mode unless the newer version of that card had backwards compatibility features. Also later on you had to worry about very specific shader features and direct x features being supported to even get the game to look right.
Just a bit interesting how times change. They definitely should have worked with intel a bit to get it to work, at least given them a copy with some time for them to work out their drivers to support it.
