the only way to get the thing to print forn the adnoird device was to installa new app just for the printer which you access ur pictures from so u can actually hit print, u cant do it from normal photo viewing.

on windows the full software packakge failed to instlal twice, the standalone driver also failed until afterward when i added a printer manually from the devices and printer section and the driver would then show up when it didnt before and install properly in seconds.

also becuasue windows is so full of adware and poo poo his default search engine was ask jeeves but with extra fake links which gave him a "Driver Manager" after searching for the printer which wanted him to pay $15 for the driver.

jus tgoing to get him a mac mini next time he wants to upgrade and also an iphone beucasue why are these issues that exist on any real OS in 2015.

Q: what is a printer even needed for?

A: to print booklets for the jewel case when you burn a CD LOLOL

we were talking about the lovely gears of war remaster, here are some more screenshots. one is the Xbox One play GoW in backwards compatibility mode, the other is the remaster



hmm first thought is they added some bloom and made the textures sharper and grittier. kind of a cheap way to make it look better, seems like a waste of time

fake edit: oh poo poo original one is on the top :(

playing a 10 year old game on your xbox one isn't cool, you know what's cool?

playing a 20 year old game on your xbox one.

seriously why are they remaking games from the generation immediately before this one? just up the resolution and some textures and bundle it and release that.

remaster halo 1 and 2 makes sense cause they're from Xbox, but GoW? a waste of time, money and talent(?). they didn't update the models and textures of Halo 3 in the master chief collection. same with any PS3 -> PS4 remaster.

The Last of Us completely changed how the game engine worked, for example, the new version doesn't even have any kind of game loop.

If you don't use a programming model that lends itself to concurrency you're not really using the hardware. I'll probably watch that talk when I get the chance.

game development tends to push the boundaries of what hardware is capable of more than most any software that runs on consumer machines. the people who make game engines are not dummies or ignorant of computer science.

It's just the hardware was way different back in the quake days.
