  • I like chromatic abberation too. And film grain, vignettes, scan-lines, dirty/wet camera effect, lens flares. The lot.

    Not all at the same time and not on max settings. But when having a helmet equipped or using something like a Scanner or spectacles in a game, why not? If it suits the purpose and / or the aesthetic, I’m fine with it.

    Personally I draw the line at motion blur, which simply makes me sick.







  • Look at all the free image / video services that either never took off or went bust. Especially streaming is quite expensive and isolating only this single aspect of Youtube - cost to operate: what do people expect? Everybody wants few to no ads at all and no subscription either.

    As I said, I don’t want to even touch any other topic here like Youtube’s (perceived) quality or their (spicy) business decisions. If you don’t like the product, don’t use it. There is no right to free consumption of entertainment videos. Imagine paying for a taxi like you (don’t) pay for Youtube.

    And if you know better, start your own platform.



  • Also, feature phones have cameras

    I know the camera quality of this device category. They’re all crap, no exception. And even if you buy the best of the best it will cost you as much as a sophisticated smartphone that does everything better apart from maybe stand-by battery. Which is fine for an emergencyphone.

    and some basic apps.

    Mostly preinstalled because no app store, non-removable, and you never have to worry about missed updates because you won’t get any.

    They’re not actually 80s cordless phones.

    Agree, because they’re 2003 cordless phones and they suck for the everyday life of most people.






  • And I’d almost bet these two to three titles run fine in Windows which is exactly the point: what is Linux’s advantage here concerning gaming?

    When I want to play a certain title I don’t want something similar because that derivate runs on Linux. That’s maybe okay for casual games like a round of Solitaire where the Linux alternatives are fine.
