Bestselling console in Latvia
Where tall Latvian women? 🧐
Latvian woman are the best, you give them a potato they give you a half-and-half.
Potatoes exist aplenty in my country, with more than a hundred varieties. Do I have this in the bag?
There were times where Irish man would've killed for it. I.. don't even know where I'm going with this. K, thx, bye.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
They've already done it ;)
I've had the top two as a kid. Thanks for the nostalgia!
You're welcome :)
Oh hell, I didn't know those were real. I should have guessed though. They turned up in HROT, a very... "Soviet Core" game. If you're worried about the politics of the dev, the final boss is Putin
"home grown" aka mostly Chinese parts
What's the difference then?
That Russia has no capability to produce something like this and isn't China also behind chip wise?
I meant what's the difference with our game systems? They're mostly all Chinese parts too
I thought most of the major silcon like CPU and GPU chips were from Taiwan, with it being more simpler commodity and board manufacturing being done in the PRC.
Taiwan, not PRC. Mainland China isn't capable of making CPUs and GPUs whith the performance and low power draw needed for a portable console in the volumes necessary. They brute-forced their way into a 7nm process, but it's expensive and low yields, so they're using it only for crypto mining ASICs and Huawei phones.
To make a console like the Steam Deck, they would need an AMD64 chip on 5nm. Granted, Zhaoxin does have a licence for X86 architecture (inherited from Via, who got it when they bought Cirix), but they're still far from being able to make those in 7 or 5nm.
Meanwhile, TSMC in Taiwain is already shipping 3nm chips for Apple and soon for AMD too.
Unless China figures out Extreme UV, like in the ASML machines, or direct stamping, like in recently announced Canon machines, they won't be competitive with Intel, TSMC or Samsung anytime soon.
Built in malware that phones home to the Kremlin, most likely.
In Soviet Russia, steam decks you!
This is going to be a huge success, like the last time when they developed a "homegrown" cellphone.
Well people with connections to the goverment need a way to launder money.
We see that PM Mishustin needs only to consider and create outline plans for the gaming ecosystem before the period of execution, which is set for June 15, 2024. Of course, preparing meaningful plans is still a big task, but it should be achievable enough for Mishustin to feel relatively safe standing on balconies.
Lol
I guess the Ruzzian bread & circuses are getting a bit low on the circus part.
Maybe they’re murderous zealots, but at least they use Leenox /s
"and you will all only be allowed to play Pathologic!"
"This game makes me feel like the state is irreparably evil."
"You must be doing it wrong, give that to me."
"Blyat."
Tbf it has much the same to say of non state forces
so they have to develop this on the front during break time?
They have already announced that it will be Intel Atom X5 with 64Gb SSD for around $500
I had more faith in Kim Jong Un making his own theme parks.
There's a lot that can and should be done to break the x86-Windows-Steam monopoly, and I wouldn't mind a huge middle finger to Nvidia, but I do not anticipate Russia doing any of the right things, even for the wrong reasons. At least China's gonna push for weird MIPS and RISC chips.
Is Putin a gamer? 🤭
Yes just like any other ruler they play risk with real people
