  • Some folks with visual impairments have enough eyesight to enjoy visual gags, but still use screen reader software, so including the digital text makes it easier for them to read captions in the image. Screen readers with optical character recognition can still fumble with handwritten fonts or poor contrast/alignment, so copying the text into the post discussion improves redundancy for readers.

  • Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit for PC Video Review

    Jump

  • NFS PU was the first ever racing game I encountered with a career mode. It was brutal in that I couldn't drive with the same skill using just a keyboard like I did with prior titles, and that kind of dead locked my progression until I figured how to use an analog controller on PC. It felt like driving on ice.

    Split screen racing was so fun back in the day! Can't remember the most recent racing title I've seen that supported that. I'd take a local LAN multiplayer or self hosted server option as a substitute.

  • If you're new to Linux, then NixOS may be outside your comfort zone, but nixpkgs does enable simple patch set integration for legacy Nvidia drivers for use with recent kernels. You could try enabling the 390 config option from a NixOS desktop install, or fetch and apply the appropriate patch from aurPatches source yourself from a different distro for a corresponding kernel version:

  • It's so neat to see the game still receiving mods and independent patches after all these years. I wonder how many new players discover this series, who are probably born well after its release.

    Multi-generational fanfare is common among other multimedia such as books and movies, but I wonder what the breakdown is for video games, or how that percentage may be changing as the game publishing industry continues devolving.

  • Yeah, I preferred when the franchise mostly centered around stock super and hyper cars, and performance tuning was done via the settings menu rather than mucking about with in game farming for aftermarket parts.

    The voice over and picture show promos for vehicles in the selection menu was so hype for every model, even if you knew the car wasn't even top tier in the game.

  • Horizontal split screen worked rather well for racing games, given the split field of view on the old 4:3 displays are quite similar to widescreen gaming today.

  • Porsch Unleashed was quite a bit more simulator-like, at least the steering mechanics and coefficient of friction. I always kind of enjoyed the arcade physics of the original trio, without going completely slot-car, as keeping racing lines and risking shortcuts was still heavily rewarded. They all had really good soundtracks though, with that late '90s techno and grunge. Or at least that's what my nostalgia tells me.

  • Bluetooth 6.0 is HERE, how will your earbuds get BETTER? - YouTube

    Jump

  • It's so frustrating that mono audio+mic has been the norm for so long. The awfully small bit rate for both sink and source channels is just the cherry on top. I have to break out a USB-C DAC with a TRRS connector for discord calls on my tablet, as every manufacturer has done away with internal headphone jacks, just maintain the same audio quality I would have on speakerphone mode.

    Android is also pretty frustrating and that you can't bifurcate your audio syncs and sources. For example on any modern Linux distribution, you can at least direct apps to use your internal laptop microphone by default, and your headphones for full bit rate stereo audio only - to work around and avoid Bluetooth's ancient HFP protocol. Why Android developers can't replicate this basic audio muxing is beyond me, but resorting to a device's internal microphone comes with its own setbacks.

    Perhaps that muxing on Android is only possible for Bluetooth headphones without a microphone, but I can't find any earphone devices that are not also headsets anymore. Just doesn't seem to be a thing any longer.

  • DisplayPort: A Better Video Interface

    Jump

  • This kind of splintering is really unfortunate. Would be nice to have a universal AV interface for consumer hardware. I'd also like to see one that supports bi-directional communication, like for forwarding human interfaces connected to TVs, like wireless game controllers, or programmatic control over internal settings like audio volume, brightness, contrast, motion smoothing, etc. I suppose displayport over thunderbolt plus embedded USB hubs in computer monitors gets close, but the display settings controllers usually require proprietary drivers and are vendor specific.

    I know both HDMI and Displayport enable remote control for basic features like turning the device on or off from sleep, but very few PCs or GPUs ship with HDMI-CEC. I've only seen a few mini PCS or single board computers ship with that.

  • Also, if you're using EFI, you can use something like efibootmgr to select which entry to use on next boot up. Handy if you want to swap between OS installs without breaking out a remote KVM or hassle with GRUB monitoring all your drives.

  • DisplayPort: A Better Video Interface

    Jump

  • Does anyone know of some affordable 4K@120Hz TVs that ship with DisplayPort interfaces, or any long fiber optic DisplayPort cables supporting the same resolution frame rate and bit depth as the HDMI 2.1 fiber optic cables on the market? That's one thing that's been holding me back from DisplayPort adoption.

  • What launch system do you use? Bungie, or just hand launch while under power?

    I always wanted to get into those discus launch gliders, but the nearest hobby airfield with consistent thermals or updrafts from elevation changes are quite a ways away. I've got a small foam glider, but it's only half a meter wide.
