Lamarr the strelok

I'm aware of what corporations are for. I was talking about the tech sites tripping over each other praising the newest and most expensive products. A 3090 I'm sure is awesome but they imply you're missing out with something less than a 3090.The ps4 is ignored even though they're still releasing games for it.

I think I've been reading too much hype around ray tracing.To me it's sorta like a bragging rights thing.The tech sites ALWAYS push the most expensive option.I guess the high dollar systems can tell a difference but that's too much for me.

What are your thoughts on ray tracing? Personally modern non ray tracing shadows and lights are pretty impressive.They look very nice during benchmarks so that's good enough for me.Shoot,some games on PS4 even have great shadows and lighting.Ray tracing is neat but personally not worth it nowadays. What about you? Is ray tracing absolutely necessary for you or don't you really care?

I'm not sure of the terminology but I was able to get my steam controller to work on my Mint machine just by downloading the steam app and a game.I'm sure I don't have Wine on it so I think the controller is accessing the most basic of inputs. I can get the controller to act like a mouse basically.I can't get access to customize the controller but it works.i might be done with windows when 10 stops support so I'm checking out gaming on Linux. I'm not in the deck's demo so I won't be getting one but I think the deck will do well and have support for a good long time.Does anyone out there know how hard it is to convert a windows game to the deck OS? I think that will be a factor.

My Steam controller is still supported. It works the same as new.I know nothing about Steam OS.

A friend had a portable US football game in 1980 when I was about 10. It was a 1 inch by 4 inch screen that had LED's instead of players.The newer version had passing even.God I'm old as dirt...
