Less a tech jargon and more an outdated phrase but It is now safe to turn off your computer.

I watch a lot Digital Foundry on YouTube, and I find the complaints about frame rate for old games pretty funny. 15-20 FPS was pretty normal, and perfectly payable in most cases. Perhaps I'm just good at switching my point of reference back to 1996, in the same way that you have to adjust to a novel written in the 60s. It's easier if you lived it. I imagine it's harder for someone who's never played anything below 30 FPS.

PCs and computers are now “desktops” even if they’re actually laptops. I don’t know that I mind “computer” falling out of colloquial use. It’s high time it was recognised as applicable to things like game consoles and smart watches.

What are you talking about, AAA console games today dropping below 30 FPS isn't rare Just look at Fallout 76

oohhboy posted:A lot of problems with the old games is simple quality of life things like UI or things that needed to be automated. It's not that the game is bad the annoyances just stack up enough to be unpleasant. I 1000% agree with you on this. I LOVE the OG X-COM, but the remake is so much more playable. There is much less between you and playing the game. There are only 1 or 2 things that the remake is missing that I consider a detriment. Off the top of my head, the in ability to pick up items off of downed soldiers. Hope your medic isn't the first person killed... My favorite strat in the original X-COM was to find an alien base and not raid it. Istead, raid the monthly supply ship that comes to it. You will have sooo much Elerium in a couple of months, you will never have money problems.

I'm gonna say that if a technical term is in current use by a government, it is, by definition, horribly out of date.

Has anyone copied that godawful Packard Bell virtual house thing from circa '96 into VR, where you'd go into room with a stereo and tv for music and video, and a different room for officey stuff?
