Personally I consider the demands for free software an annoyance. But we're all different.
I've hated Linux distributions who doesn't use the superior Nvidia graphics drivers or codecs for videos and audio and flash because I kinda "needed" that for a decent usage of the machine.
I understand the point of demanding that is to force development to go that way and that likely work to some extent but.. I don't really want to live with the consequences =P
I don't see why one should be a fan of Steam in the first place if one want free software. Humble bundle often sell games without copy protection so why not use that version instead? Personally I think it's somewhat fun to be able to share images and write reviews and such on Steam even if that mean it cost more money.. So I kinda don't like it in one way.
I think there's a free Command & conquer clone, there's also free Quake-like games.
However I can only imagine that playing a MUD would be so much more fun than playing a single-player adventure though.
Even know if they got like 10-15 friends to join them in playing MUD on the school don't you think they would start to enjoy it a lot? Some would likely drop out but some would likely drop in.
I have never really sank my fingers into a MUD but multi-player is always beyond single-player.
Also one can still use free software, it cost nothing, one can still be social (headset and Skype while playing?), it cost nothing and so on.
nothing like it is on Steam (except maybe Blood Bowl 2, but that's Windows-only anyway). So if I make them follow my FSF-aligned beliefs, I'm just going to alienate them from me and from the ideas of the FSF
You do know Steam and the games aren't free software either? So.. like.. You know..
Neither are the consoles software (even if FreeBSD based in the case of PS4) or the games on them.
If you actually want free software games then the PC likely is the best option after-all.
That's about as cheap as something console like could go if one had some old computer around. $383, add $50 for a controller and you're at 433. I don't know what a console cost in the US but it's likely not all that much cheaper.
If you demand "a benefit" and mean performance then you will of course have to pay even more, but there's benefits of both.
Games are tailored to the hardware in consoles. With PCs, there isn't that amount of fine tuning.
I agree, I assume part of the performance difference is the more efficient low-level access available as-well - something the PC have got now too.
But, the biggest point is that you lose out on console exclusives.
Can't the multi-platform titles be enough then? PC would be better for many titles too, less likely to play CS:GO, LoL / Dota2, Civilization V. There's likely a bunch of smaller titles too.
Also the PC is likely the best one to get access to all the old console-exclusives and it's backwards- and forwards compatible (that may happen with the others too now when they more or less are PCs too) meaning you've got access to lots and lots of games.
Things like Sunset Overdrive (probably the best Xbox One exclusive so far for someone like me) didn't come out on PC.
I don't know what that game is, but I know that there's exclusives for both XB1 and PS4.
You also get free games every month with Games with Gold... or the PS equivalent
They aren't free, you pay for online gaming with the consoles something which is usually free on the PC (or rather paid for by getting the game), if you had signed up to the Humble Monthly Bundle for $12 for November you'd get: * Saints Row 4 * Legend of Grimrock 2 * Valkyria Chronicles * Besiege * Towerfall: Ascension * Lethal League * Sanctuary RPG
You could of course purchase any of the normal bundles with known content, like the recent Jumbo bundle 5 which at the top tier for $9 gave you:
* Insurgency * Men of War: Assault Squad â" Game of the Year Edition * Abyss Odyssey â" Two Pack * Blackguards 1 * Blackgurards 2 * Contagion â" Four Pack * Euro Truck Simulator 2 * Teslagrad * A Story About My Uncle * Spintires * Divinity: Dragon Commander
Beyond that there's lots of sales and if one are willing to wait for a better price the PC copy of a game released for all platforms will be cheaper on the PC than it will be on a gaming console.
Then there's the social aspects
Exist for both and it's all about what you friends use.
Back to his post:
I'm really wary on the PlayStation because of the 5 PS2s with broken optical drives sitting in my garage
Known issue with them. The Gamecube was very picky with what discs it would read instead but I guess the laser may have lived on longer there instead. Discs are kinda annoying anyway, the benefit is of course if you can sell your used games - You can't on Steam - You can however share them within "your family" at least.
I'm a Linux user for life after getting tired of their crappy operating system.
I don't see what's crappy with it. And I've used lots of Linux and BSD too.
Well, sorta. The GPU is better on the PS4, the processor isn't. And the processor is weak on both but they all have equivalent low overhead technologies as Mantle, DirectX 12 and Vulcan. The PS4 got quicker RAM.
The PS4 indeed run many titles at higher resolution or frame-rate, it's supposed to not be as visible though. The PS4 also seem to out-sell the Xbox One 2:1 but here in Sweden at-least I often get the impression Xbox is the stronger brand? Maybe not?
Personally I would vote for the PC: In Fallout 4 an i3 (two core) work just as well as an eight-core FX8000-series processor from AMD, the PS4 and Xbox One processors are AMD ones with eight cores but clocked about half as much as the FX-8320 and such. Nvidia claim better graphics than both with the GTX 950.
An i3 + GTX 950 + controller doesn't cost much money. IT MAY HAVE THE FRIENDS ISSUE THOUGH. The rest (HDD, case, PSU, possibly RAM) he already seem to have so depending on how one build it won't cost much and be at-least as good. Beyond that the PC can of course become better.
As for the OS get Windows 10 and be done with it. Obviously the Linux titles doesn't run as well on SteamOS 2 as the same games do on Windows 10 so that's that. Also with Windows 10 said to be the last Windows or something (will it?) getting a non-OEM version even if one purchase one seem like a decent option considering how long it will last (XP lasted for ~15 years so..)
We use gold in electronics, medicine, etc. See here. Sure, we don't "need" a computer or a smartphone, but...
"Jewelry: About 78% of gold consumed each year is made into jewelry. Jewelry is the most common way gold reaches consumers, and has been a primary use for the metal in various cultures. Because of its beautiful and durable properties, gold jewelry is an adornment that is both ethereal and revered. Especially in India, adorning the body with gold is a way to attract wealth and blessings." http://www.sbcgold.com/blog/to...
Also you can recycle gold so there's no reason to mine it multiple km down into the sea and then into the seabed. Lots of gold to go around for your electronics purposes, random webpage: "There is currently somewhere between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes of gold in the world 'above ground'. To visualise this, imagine a single solid gold bullion"
That's ~18 gram or half an ounce per person living on the planet. Plenty to go around for your electronic needs.
I kinda did, the Linux drivers is decent and I kinda felt one of the reasons for them to try to sell Steam on Linux would be "even better performance!" (but it's likely just more a way to protect against a Microsoft Xbox game store on Windows.)
2. handful of semi-powerful PC's with a bunch of video cards in them. Maybe drive 5 displays per each of 4 gpu's for 20 displays per box. IMO, this is the most risky, cause if something happens to that, you'll lose a bunch of displays all at once, and it's homebrew, so you won't have much support, and it's unlikely you'll be able to justify a hot spare that's fully loaded.
If it's important at all shouldn't you be able too?
Then again if one instead use 20 PCs on sticks then like four replacements is plenty vs one box which covered it all.
Then again if that one box completely took over relative configuring one of those sticks to do the same task (then again if it's just point in an url..)
Fair in the.. whatever the short was short for.. but yeah, clever ideas one hadn't thought of.
So, the best price/performance comes out to a GTX 750, so why even bother with a newer card
Because you want better performance of course.
Also on a other-wise $600 build adding a $600 graphics could be viewed as spending twice as much rather than five times as much since it's relative the price of the computer with a different graphics card.
Of course Swedish parliament sadly has treated the environmentalist anti-nationalist well-fare party as some sort of center-party everyone can agree to rule with even though they are the most extreme ones after the communists. So as such we have shitty hippie stuff such as wind-power, rotten grass, rotten sea-.. uhm.. tubeanimals, energy from trees and other stupid things which won't be able to compete and won't be as efficient as say solar-power anyway so why bother?
The animals supposedly brought up phosphor and nitrogen from the sea and as such could be used as a fertilizer, that's OK I guess but I'd prefer they used plants rather than animals if they are brought up just to rot them and make energy out of them. These animals supposedly undevelop/destroy part of their "brain" once they have fixed themselves somewhere but still.
I hate these anti-progress idiots ("economical growth is bad - it ruins the environment!", Sweden have some other complete utter ridiculous leftard idiots, "who cares that mass-immigration cost money? It's irrelevant, one just need to raise taxes!", yeah, because money come from nowhere and the government / all states are just stupid who don't increase taxes. In the end it would be nice if these idiots understood that you can only share what you've produced and if the immigrants suck at producing something of value then you'd have less worth to share.)
Also white-genocide and so on. 1 800 migrants / day, 10 000+ / week, this for a country with less than 10 million people and about 8 million Swedish born and well, I don't know how many Swedes, 6 million?
you might just as well go out and play some real football or enlist in the army.
Grabs XM1014, smoke grenade, explosive grenade and Molotov.
Jumps down lane on Dust II, throws smoke, smoke explosive through gap, Molotov over door arch.
Runs straight forward with XM1014, enter though smoke and see how it goes.... yeah. I guess that's one solution of the over-population and the current genocide of the Swedes by the traitorous government. The sooner the better. The niggers and Arabs need our country! But what are they going to live of when we don't exist any longer? Guess socialism and cultural-Marxism haven't solved that one.
Our bodies evolved over millions of years to eat meat. The fact that your senses crave the smells, taste, and texture of meat means... your body wants meat. Now, we all know that you should eat it in moderation because of the problems of overeating. But meat in reasonable portions is naturally good for you.
All of this biochemical engineering to come up with a meat substitute is reminiscent of all the chemical companies trying to come up with artificial sweeteners. The end result is probably as bad for you or worse than the original.
Eat your meat. That way you can have your pudding.
I'm 36, vegan since 18, haven't eaten animals on purpose for soon 30 years.
I guess some things smell nice, I associate it with meat-products and try to avoid the smell though so.. Guess fish smell better?
I can't really tell how it tastes longer and I don't long for it or the texture where I have the same issue. How could I when I don't really remember how it is?
For me personally I would be more interested in a plant-based product which supposedly taste like meat, but I'm just fine with "tastes nice" I don't care if it taste like meat or not, I have nothing to go by, than actual grown animal muscle cells. I don't see the problem with the later for those who are ok with eating animals and I see little moral issue with it either it's just that I know.. And well, it also depend on what it's feed with of course.
I don't follow your logic. Broccoli is good for me. Garlic is good for me. Fish or flax seed oil is good for me. Nothing of that taste good at all. Chocolate taste good and so do alcoholic cider but.. (Yeah I know about cacao, but let it pass.)
If the flavors are carcinogenic then sure, you're right. But plant-based diets can have additional benefits and the main idea for why not to use animals is likely about 1) Not having to lock them in and kill them and 2) Resource consumption, possibly more about the later. (It's weird how the alternative products cost more though, like 1 liter of oat milk which is really just a little oat flakes, water and sugar cost more than cow milk, how do that make any sense relative the ingredients?)
thought DDR4 came out in 2000, and the PlayStation family was up to GDDR5.
First one was a joke on your part.
I don't know about the second one but there exist no spec for DDR5, GDDR5 isn't based on and improved upon DDR4. It's based and improved upon GDDR4 which in return is on DDR3.
One is the chimpanzee the other the human so to speak.
ZEN is supposed to increase IPC speeds by 40% at the same clock. It will also get SMT but I guess that may already be accounted for.
Whatever those clock speeds will be and how many cores they will have we don't know. Manufacturing process likely 14 nm in both cases.
AMD R&D budget is much smaller though. Though Intel also build their plants. Both invest in graphics but I guess Nvidia graphics R&D budget may also be higher than AMDs? =P
In the comparison I saw, Broadwell-C outperforms by an inconsequential amount in games that are CPU bound (5%). So yes, with Broadwell-C you can pace Civ 5 etc at 125fps instead of 119fps. Those are meaningless numbers from a playability perspective.
I wouldn't call them meaningless. Regardless no-one said there was a huge difference or that you should bother.
Even the i7 4790K isn't far away from the i7 6700K Skylake one so you could even go with that which is also cheaper.
And speaking about prices and old models the i7 5820K would likely give 6700K a run in modern game titles too.
If you go further back the i7 4770K, i7 3770K and possibly the i7 2700K isn't terrible and far away either, per generation at least. You likely got like less than 10% of extra performance for each new one. And that's when you ignore 5775C (as in 6700K not being 1.1*1.1 times better than the 4790K.)
That a supposedly uninteresting chip with better integrated graphics clocked at 3.3 GHz can outrun the newer chip on the new platform clocked at 4.0 GHz in gaming was a surprise for people.
Speaking of over-clocking and the 5775C vs 6700K the 5820K likely over-clocks very well as-well (The metal capsule/lid over it is supposed to be soldered on that one if I remember correctly, the 8-core one over-clocks nicely and the 6-core one should have an easier time I suppose unless lower quality.)

So, there are several reasons that, if you're looking for a console, you should get a console.
But he also wrote:
I've also considered getting a gaming PC, whether Linux or Windows
then again:
but it's more expensive and game reviews show most are not as good as a dedicated game console.
The later could be argued.
First, You're going to spend more on a gaming PC than you will a console to get a benefit over consoles.
i3 6100 - $125
B150 motherboard - $65
2x4 GB DDR4 - $43
GTX 950 - $150
That's about as cheap as something console like could go if one had some old computer around. $383, add $50 for a controller and you're at 433. I don't know what a console cost in the US but it's likely not all that much cheaper.

But I am a firm believer in diversification of risk. I'd rather have some coal and some nuclear, rather than just one, as the risks are different.
The thing with gold however is that we don't even needs it!
There's no real reason to collect it except it takes resources to do so so that makes it valuable..
Destroy nature and waste work on getting something you'll just store away for no other purpose? Make sense!

Why is this on Slashdot? In case someone have a better idea?
Guess low-end PC with four graphics cards * at least 3 displays each may be more cost efficient? =P
In my experience what people ask for is to beat X amount of frames per second in CS:GO.
Which become the benchmark. And it's not all too good with more than four cores I've got the impression of.
But gaming benchmarks, especially of the game you want to play, will totally help in deciding what to get for that game =P
I think the real question is "Who do we send up next?"
I can do it. .. they haven't seen my apartment, but if they did ..
So, the best price/performance comes out to a GTX 750, so why even bother with a newer card

How can you make the claim that nuclear power is worse if you can't comprehend it?
I'm from Sweden, almost half of our electricity has come from hydro power and the other half from nuclear power.
Excellent I'd say.
If only they could decide to make new nuclear plants to re-use the old waste and hence get lots of more energy and easier to handle waste by doing so.

(It's weird how the alternative products cost more though, like 1 liter of oat milk which is really just a little oat flakes, water and sugar cost more than cow milk, how do that make any sense relative the ingredients?)
thought DDR4 came out in 2000, and the PlayStation family was up to GDDR5.
First one was a joke on your part.
I don't know about the second one but there exist no spec for DDR5, GDDR5 isn't based on and improved upon DDR4. It's based and improved upon GDDR4 which in return is on DDR3.
One is the chimpanzee the other the human so to speak.
ZEN is supposed to increase IPC speeds by 40% at the same clock. It will also get SMT but I guess that may already be accounted for.
Whatever those clock speeds will be and how many cores they will have we don't know. Manufacturing process likely 14 nm in both cases.
AMD R&D budget is much smaller though.
Though Intel also build their plants.
Both invest in graphics but I guess Nvidia graphics R&D budget may also be higher than AMDs? =P
Suck to be AMD.
$200-$300 premium?
I7 5775C in Sweden: 3949 SEK.
I7 6700K in Sweden: 3629 SEK.
Difference: 320 SEK = $39 - VAT = $31.2
So more like $20-30 premium...
And that's before you consider the Z97 + DDR3 vs Z170 + DDR4 difference.
Asus Z97-P 790 SEK.
ASUS Z170-P D3 1129 SEK
ASUS Z170M-E D3 1012 SEK
Z170 = 222 SEK more expensive.
2x4 GB DDR3 474 SEK.
2x4 GB DDR4 545 SEK.
i7 6700 + Z170M-E D3 + 2x4 GB DDR4 = 5186 SEK
i7 5775C + Z97-P + 2x4 GB DDR3 = 5213 SEK
Difference: 27 SEK = $3.3
In the comparison I saw, Broadwell-C outperforms by an inconsequential amount in games that are CPU bound (5%). So yes, with Broadwell-C you can pace Civ 5 etc at 125fps instead of 119fps. Those are meaningless numbers from a playability perspective.
I wouldn't call them meaningless. Regardless no-one said there was a huge difference or that you should bother.
Even the i7 4790K isn't far away from the i7 6700K Skylake one so you could even go with that which is also cheaper.
And speaking about prices and old models the i7 5820K would likely give 6700K a run in modern game titles too.
If you go further back the i7 4770K, i7 3770K and possibly the i7 2700K isn't terrible and far away either, per generation at least. You likely got like less than 10% of extra performance for each new one. And that's when you ignore 5775C (as in 6700K not being 1.1*1.1 times better than the 4790K.)
That a supposedly uninteresting chip with better integrated graphics clocked at 3.3 GHz can outrun the newer chip on the new platform clocked at 4.0 GHz in gaming was a surprise for people.
Speaking of over-clocking and the 5775C vs 6700K the 5820K likely over-clocks very well as-well (The metal capsule/lid over it is supposed to be soldered on that one if I remember correctly, the 8-core one over-clocks nicely and the 6-core one should have an easier time I suppose unless lower quality.)
