I started with kiwami. There was a perceptible downgrade when I played the first non kiwami Yakuza 3 however

One thing I love about the series is how detailed they are with food and drinks.

I did this. Still playing through them all by release date

I think I might get the point…but I think we are past trying to build budget friendly PCs for gamers wanting to play the latest AAA titles.

As a gamer myself, it’s sad but I’m tightening up my belt and preparing for much worse economic consequences. Like what a 100% tariff on Taiwan made chips will mean for the US military budget and the national debt.

Honestly, I’m anticipating buying junk hardware for at least the next 4 years that’s being auctioned off by companies that are not able to deal with the new economic hardships that this and other decisions are going to create. I doubt I’m going to be able to play the latest games nor will I be able to afford them. Luckily I have a backlog of games and there are a lot of books I want to read too.

I think one of the bigger consequences of this in terms of pure compute is people not being able to self host open source LLMs and similar models offline. As I think this will soon become something that’s expected to have access to in the next couple of years.

I am for getting tech you need when you need it. I’m against buying tech you might want to have now just in case it cost more money in the future.

If you are really concerned about future costs of essential items that you will die without, then I suggest stocking up your pantry with shelf stable food as much as you can and researching what you can do to help your local community grow their own food.

You know what’s cheaper than a $2000 RTX 5090? Not spending money or upgrading unless you actually need to.

It only cost $5 million to blow out $500 billion from the stock market.

All hail open source.

On Voyager, I see a very efficient plaintext SVG which appears to be in http? I’ve never cat-ed a SVG before though.

Both Porco Rosso and sound of music are excellent films for kids of you want to start to talk to them about fascism.

Anyone know of more?

I’m not from Finland but I’ve been playing a lot of My Summer Car and just figured out how to take a sauna and got the Welcome to Finland achievement.

My guess is that if a 4090 is bottlenecked 5% on pcie 3.0 (although I think it’s closer to 10%). Also if pcie 4.0 is double the speed as 3.0, and pcie 5.0 is double 4.0. Then the bottleneck will be closer to 10% if running a 5080 on pcie 3.0.

You might be better off with a 4000 series, unless you got a new motherboard that won’t be bottlenecked much by the pcie version jump.

Its not Minecraft but you might be interested in Voxelibre which is a game made using [Luanti (formerly Minetest)] (https://www.luanti.org/).

It has a Lemmy community: https://lemm.ee/c/voxelibre
