  • Every time that I touch Windows, my doubts about whether I waste my time with Linux immediately get obliterated by reality. Today, I helped someone crop a video, so I opened ClipChamp, a Fisher Price googoogaga pathetic excuse of an attempt at video editing software. The lack of features wasn’t even what bothered me most, it was the COOKIE BANNER ON PREINSTALLED GODDAMN SOFTWARE FOR EDITING VIDEOS OFFLINE. If Microsoft actually had to compete with someone else, suicide rates would fall back to pre-industrial levels.






  • FPS counters in games usually display an average across multiple frames. That makes the number actually legible if the FPS fluctuates, but if it fluctuates really hard on a frame-by-frame, it might seem inaccurate. If I have a few frames here that were outputted at 20 FPS, and a few there that were at 70 FPS, the average of those would be 45 FPS. However, you could still very much tell that the framerate was either very low or very high, which would be perceived as stutter. Your aforementioned old games probably were frame-capped to 20, while still having lots of processing headroom to spare for more intensive scenes.


  • Yeah, I’m also of the opinion that Fallout 4 lacks that spark that makes a good game. It’s got all of these fancy environments, characters, mechanics, and graphics (for the time), yet it just doesn’t seem to all come together for me. Skyrim, while being a little tedious at times, actually feels like something you would really want to play to the end and then some. Fallout 4, however, isn’t much more in my eyes than a mishmash of vaguely game-adjacent concepts that barely appear to fit together.
