I'm nervous that once I build a new $2000 PC I will just end up loading a Doom 2 source port with going down dot wad again.

HKR posted:I dunno about this. Back in the magazine era Quake III was the defacto test game for a *really* long time, even post Half Life 2. I think it sometimes has to do with how built in benchmarks are few and far between in games, and when they do exist sometimes they give very inconsistent numbers. Additionally, if games are constantly rotated, gamers who haven't upgraded their card for a while will have no numbers to compare to. I know people who are still on 900 series nvidia cards starting to think about upgrading, and a long tail game like tomb raider can give them a frame of reference for how much performance they're going to gain. id Tech 3 had some pretty popular games using it for a number of years after Q3 released so I feel like it stayed relevant for longer in that different era.

To be fair, nuts.wad is much more playable these days. It’s just that one spike of like 7000 monsters waking up when you fire the first shot that hammers a core for a little bit. Immediately afterwards things settle down to a reasonable framerate. (This is also why you grab the invulnerability before firing that first shot, or do it up on the platform, so you can survive while everything wakes up.) There’s not really any great way to multithread Doom’s core game logic, so nuts.wad is only going to happen without slowdowns whenever Gordon Moore awakens from his grave with some forbidden knowledge.

Nuts.wad has always been playable and even gets normal framerates these days. The trick is to use something that isn't gzdoom.

For certain definitions of playable. "Start wad, face the back wall, fire pistol once, go make a sandwich, and the game may have calmed down once you get back".

No I do mean playable framerates. Again you're talking exclusively about gzdoom here, it's never been a problem for prboom+ and related.

IIRC the main bottleneck was when everything wakes up simultaneously. It'd freeze for several seconds and then settle into reasonable framerates once all the enemy wake-up logic finished. If you were playing pacifist you could avoid that.

You said always playable, that's how I played it back in the original Doom. Sure, it's funny to load it up in GZDoom, but the wad itself existed long before GZDoom.

I just gave it a whirl in dsda-doom on my 7600k and it went without hitches, even when I fired that first shot. On the other hand, the cleanup with cheated invincibility and ammo was even more boring than I expected it would be. Good job BRPD, you got one on us all with that thousand cyberdemons.

If you meant the actual original doom, then certainly if you go back that far, but it didn't work at all is the catch. It very quickly runs into the sprite limit showing you only a very small handful of monsters in the first room and crashed in the intermission screen. You couldn't use it to performance test anything.

Other than the investment he talks about 6 seconds in and 35 seconds in? The way you worded that implies there's a secret... Though what's the last proper review they've done of a laptop to compare to? At a skim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwnrIWJoxk4 this one seems to have a good amount of graphs.

Other people with more self-respect usually avoid reviewing things they're materially or financially involved with, because they know it makes them look bad regardless of them properly disclosing it.

wargames posted:linus really told the company to put in effort for this laptop review with 4 different hosts and alot of charts from "labs" wonder why he didn't do the same for other laptops? Hmm, that is odd. Maybe Linus says something about it himself in the video? Why, he does! Linus from around 0:35-1:05 posted:"Trying to be objective doesn't change the fact that I have a vested interest in Framework's success, which makes reviewing their products a bit tricky. So, I don't want you to take my word for it. The rest of the script, I haven't even read it. To recuse myself from our review: Alex, our resident laptop connoisseur; Jake, who actually holds an active Framework 16 preorder; and John, from the lab, will tell you all about it. Both the good, and the bad. [crosses fingers] Uh, fingers crossed that they [ed: presumably Framework] haven't bit off more than they can chew with this thing." Pretty sure the labs stuff is new at least in part because the labs themselves are new. The review is overall positive but not really glowing - it calls out the keyboard flex and screen quality as substantial pain points which potential buyers should watch out for. I guess you could say that Linus should ignore Framework's existence from a content perspective if he wants to remain truly objective while being invested in them, but - considering that part of the point of the (not very large, at least initially) investment was to promote the mission of repairable hardware - keeping it quiet seems a bit contrary to that.

Investing in any hardware manufacturer, no matter what the reason, means he and his organization can't really do objective reviews of anything Framework sells. It was a poor ethics choice, but that's typical of Linus.

Not just what Framework sells; he now has a financial incentive to make all products that compete with Framework look bad, so all laptop reviews or whatever the gently caress else Framework sells. Plus because he's not talking about Framework in those videos, disclosure is entirely at his discretion Plus it also involves everything Framework might sell. All sorts of products that might never make it past the marketing or r&d phases are compromised by his knowledge they might make him money one day, so he can preempt talking down competitors before there's even a known conflict of interest
