    We’ve stuck with fire tablets forever, they can install the Google Play store and the kids tablets still receive updates a few years later. The newest ones have USB-C, headphone jack, good enough WiFi for us 2.4 and 5GHz, and can be picked up under $100. The 8" version is really good and they have a 10" version as well. I know fire os isn’t amazing and gets a ton of flack but it works for what it’s designed to do.


  • LOL you think I’m a PCMR neckbeard? My PC is old, it’s running a Vega56, not even in the last two generations of graphics cards, I’m fine with 30FPS when it makes sense but I’m talking sub-25FPS with shit frame times that make it feel like a damn slideshow. I prefer consoles, FFS I run a steam deck docked to my TV more than I use my gaming PC. Why do you think I use GeForce Now? So I can play games on high settings and not deal with settings that make my games look like they’re running on an N64. You keep calling me a member of PCMR if you want but I’m not ever here riding Bethesda dick for a shitty game.

    Starfield plays like shit, looks like shit (by today’s standards) and the quests are shit. Neon is a lazy world that only ends up becoming one giant hallway with a few shops. Everywhere else feels lifeless and boring. Starfield was a flop, and while Elex isn’t the best game out there, the fact that it can in fact in some situations stand toe to toe with Starfield on graphical fidelity is just an absolute disgrace. I was on a desert planet in Starfrield in the main story (can’t remember the name) at night, on a balcony running on GeForce Now with an RTX 2080 and getting less than 24FPS, that’s absolutely pathetic, game is just bad.







  • This is really good information, but I just can’t get behind it I’m sorry. Things started to go downhill once dlss and fsr really started to take off and it’s shown in damn near every major PC port. Remnant 2 is another culprit, the game ran like trash, even when I was running it through an rtx 4080 on GeForce now. I couldn’t get it to go above 45fps even in 1440p on high settings without dlss in ward 13. This is becoming more commonplace with every release, baldurs gate 3 seems to be the only exception.



  • If fsr and dlss are any indication, new technology has the capability of improving that performance for lower end hardware. The problem we’re seeing now is that games are using dlss and fsr to “optimize” games instead of optimizing the game first then adding those technologies afterwards. I’m not saying every dev is doing this, but there are clear standouts where fsr and dlss are being used to pick up the slack for optimization, Starfield being the latest culprit.


  • You’re full of shit. Post the logs or GTFO. You probably haven’t enabled the next Gen driver for Xbox controllers or even basic Xbox controller support or even generic controller support. Your tv probably has a setting that controls the HDMI port signal and it’s unable to detect the connection because the dock isn’t providing enough of a signal for your TV to detect, turn that shit off because it’s trash. Your video doesn’t show shit, just you being a dumbass. How is anyone supposed to help you when all you post is you holding up your controller and literally nothing else? Also, your steam streaming of baldurs gate is that small because you’re too stupid to change the output on the streaming device to match the resolution of the TV. Stop blaming valve for your blind bullshit ignorance.
