I'm pretty sure the old AMD APUs from the Bulldozer era can run factorio and that's like a decade old.

Like sure, it's some metric but I'm pretty sure any computer produced currently can run factorio.

That heavily depends on what the previous machine was. Like factorio runs on my laptop without taxing the system much more than just idling and on my desktop I can't even tell it's running based on performance monitoring. So yea, I'm not sure factorio is a good indicator.

Yea, obviously, that's the case for most people. A lot of people for who a chromebook would be enough would not be effected, yea but for example software that isn't getting new updates and like all gaming would just not work on other architectures currently.

I don't use apple's stuff but alternatives to X86 could be the future. The one thing they need is compatibility with X86 software otherwise mass adoption is heavily crippled. It doesn't matter as much for Apple's stuff since their whole ecosystem is under strict control but for general purpose consumer hardware that compatibility is required first.

So what Sony is saying is that I should just pirate the game since there is no legal way to buy it?

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 38 points 8 months ago

Yea, I have zero hope that Sony has dropped this completely. They will most likely wait for the attention to die down and push it through, that's just how these shit companies work. Even their wording is ambiguous enough to mean that.

Personally I'd prefer if games used more stylized graphics like pixel art or hand drawn stuff. That's not worse in graphical quality but better imho while not needing a supercomputer to run. Spiritfarer is still one of the prettiest games I have played and it runs on the switch.

Going with stylized graphics instead of trying to do photorealism also makes the game age way more gracefully. Bastion for example still looks amazing while there's a reason Oblivion npcs are a meme.

Eastern Europe would be a yes. I know Germany is super anal about copyright but dunno about the rest of the EU.

Never heard that criticism about Outer Worlds and I wouldn't agree with it either. The story and world felt consistent to me.

Haven't you played Old World Blues? It was like the best DLC while also 100% jokes, even more jokes than Outer World while being the best DLC.

Nope, living conditions have improved massively and way less nazies here than Russia as well.

The baltics are actually doing much better now yea, by pretty much every metric.
