It's not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.
Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you're likely to have to activate it online anyway.
The "own your games" ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.
One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.
Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn't apply to them, because they said so!
Well, "not to be confused", but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.
For anyone that, like me, was confused what the hell is this language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_English
Seems to be proper name for the kind of language a stereotypical black character in a movie would use.
Can't say about real world, since I don't live in the USA.
I'd mention that if they allowed me to even access the front page from my country. :)
Japanese publishers' idea of fighting against manga piracy: kill all legal options and launch their own website that is only available in USA (kmanga).
Gee, I wonder why that didn't work!
I don't think so. Maybe they'll have something new for the next Nintendo Switch?
In fact, the Shield is using the same chip as the Switch (same for the newer revisions).
It's supposed to use S905X3 with ARM Cortex-A55.
There's already plenty of devices on the market with this chip, and it's fine, but in real world as a user you won't really see any improvement over something like a nearly 10 year old Nvidia Shield that's still using a more powerful chipset.
Which is sad for a new device...
They're supposedly using pretty much the same chipset. So the most important part is still underpowered, these Android boxes generally work fine even with 2-3GBs of RAM.
I don't have QSV or NVENC hardware to compare, but AMD is perfectly fine in most cases.
I mostly noticed quality drop with very busy scenes and some scene transitions.
Outside of those the quality was acceptable.
I'd say on my setup it's comparable to software encoding with x264 veryfast preset.
And my GPU is 5 years old now, so I'm sure newer cards have improved.
I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn't really a market for used games.
Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.
