Eh? Cycloid or Circle Pad are similar concepts. Cycloid has no rubber top, is digital and doesn't self-centre, Circle Pad does all these things. Why wouldn't you want it to self-centre? Offering both would also be pretty redundant.
Always like to see Phil Spencer moving his mouth
Reminded me of why I was a pirate when I was in high school and early college. I had no money and games were expensive.In the United States, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was $69.99 when it first released in 1996. I put that in the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator, and it came out to $137.84.
I had never been more excited for a video game at that point, and I bugged my mom for months because I was an unemployed freeloader. I only got two games a year as a kid (in hindsight, fair). Like a year or two later, my neighbor got it for ~$20 new from Toys R Us. Sorry, mama…
Prices were mostly “normal” on Nintendo 64. Outside of Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire ($79.99), I never personally saw a game over $49.99. PlayStation games were still cheaper and dropped in price faster.
I'm misunderstanding you. I was thinking a tilting stick like the current joycons have.
In the Nintendo sphere, they still are.
Yeah, but now I'm well employed and have no kids, so I have disposable income. I buy games, and then don't get around to playing them.
Touché, same here lol
That is not true.
Many times in the past. Normally it is necro who says the exact day of the directs.
This place has gone to shit in a matter of hours
There are block button on fami?
you don't want to, but did it anyway
and things constantly change, i have followed nate for over a decade, he would never speak on anything where he didnt check with multiple sources. but there are haters out there who have no sources who cant wait for moments like this.
Anything that comes after the word but is never anything good
I'm away from my computer otherwise I'd make the "Don't make me tap the sign" meme with the staff post
It's technically an ignore button (if there's a difference) but yep! Click the user's name and a small menu will pop up with the option.
Yes.
No.

If you're not going to call out something specific someone says, but instead just trash a person generally, I suggest you either report the actions you think are out of line, or hit ignore.
ItWasMeantToBe19 has been so so rude to some of the important sources we have on here. So...
Exactly and i dont want to get dramatic and deep but i come to this thread to get away from the real world or when im at work and just get excited, i dont need that negative hate, if i want that, ill go to twitter because that atm is a shitshow!
Their presence in the thread can only be regulated by moderation, which won't happen without reporting. Shit stirring is unlikely to help, that's all I'm saying.

I don't know that there is enough data to say - there aren't similar specced AMD GPUs on both nodes, and Zen 2 doesn't live on both process nodes. Going purely by advertised density, best case scenario is 130mm2. But that's as close to "made up number" as you can get.
It cost 257 to build the Switch back in 2017.

Still think that window of late 2024/early 2025 is in play. The coming FY is the only safe bet, imo.
tfw you learn more at famiboards than at schoolYes.
No.
Two things. First, as has been pointed out, you don't refer to triangles by an index, but by the coordinate positions of the triangles. Lemme give you an example. Check out the rotating triangle example on this page. I'll copy the code here.
Code:attribute vec4 vertexPosition; uniform mat4 modelMatrix; uniform mat4 viewMatrix; uniform mat4 projectionMatrix; uniform float time; const float PI = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795; //check out the number of digits of pie mat4 rotateZ(float angle) { mat4 rotationMatrix; rotationMatrix[0] = vec4(cos(angle), sin(angle), 0, 0); rotationMatrix[1] = vec4(-sin(angle), cos(angle), 0, 0); rotationMatrix[2] = vec4(0, 0, 1, 0); rotationMatrix[3] = vec4(0, 0, 0, 1); return rotationMatrix; } void main() { float angleRadians = (time / 30.0) * PI / 180.0; //And check out this math mat4 rotatedModelMatrix = rotateZ(angleRadians) * modelMatrix; gl_Position = projectionMatrix * viewMatrix * rotatedModelMatrix * vertexPosition; }
All these types are effectively 16-bit. Don't worry too much about how the details, but check the two lines I've commented. What you'll see is that we're dealing with irrational numbers. Pi has digits past the zero up to infinity.
So the math with pi will never be exactly accurate because we don't have all infinite digits of pi. We could make it less accurate by shortening it to just 3.14. Or just 3. We'd start to notice, though, if we made it that short. The triangle wouldn't rotate at a single smooth pace because we'd introduce errors that were greater than a pixel.
Does that make sense? When you start multiplying and dividing floating point numbers, the number of digits is unpredictable, or even infinite. That's why we call it X-bits of precision because we're saying "how close - how precise - is this math, because there will be inaccuracies." In this case, moving the triangle generates errors/inaccuracies smaller than a pixel, so it's not visible on a physical screen.
Second thing to point out, shaders don't just manipulate the triangles. A vertex shader is just one kind of shader. GPUs are pipelined, with rendering happening one phase at a time, and shaders only able to manipulate the data at that phase. So after vertex shaders, you have pixel shaders, which are manipulating color data. Here is an example.
Just like with the vertex shader, there will be errors, but the question is, are those errors visible on screen or to the human eye. The higher the precision, the more colors you can represent. Lower precision can create effects like color banding.
Here you can see how 8-bit color only gives us enough shades of reds for a very blocky gradient, but 24-bit color gives us enough for a very smooth transition from red to black. Practically speaking, actual pixel shaders will use more complex color representations, and have to deal with errors accumulating across shaders - both of which can make the effects of precision less than obvious.
But the other thing about FP32 - it's twice as much memory. Which not only doubles how much RAM your assets take up, but makes copying the objects around slower. Remember your limited memory bus - even if FP32 is just as fast as FP16 for all operations on the cores, it still has huge performance implications.
TL;DR: Precision is just that - how precise your numbers are. FP16 is so much faster than FP32, that it is the default choice. The consequences of precision aren't that functionality won't work, so much as will look less good.
Sure is! I wish one nintendoomer would at least try to learn instead of dooming
You said the reveal was in march, would'nt launching in the holidays be a lot of time from reveal to release? or could that mean that they announce it later than march as you previously stated?
March to Q4 wouldn't be that long historically. PS5 was announced in April 2020 and released in November, and the Series X was revealed in December of 2019. It took 11 months for the Series X to come out. March to November for Nintendo is fine and normal.
but if a doomer learned, they wouldn't be a doomer anymore. what purpose would they have?
Trailer, gonna be a surprise drop on YouTube, don’t see why they would change anything when that worked perfectly the first time.
both. a good sized trailer that explains everything, and a series of videos breaking down the newness
Frankly, I really don't understand the marketing value of doing this. This is silly. It doesn't cost anything to come up with another name, and there's nothing to be gained by showing that you can't come up with one.
Microsoft is perfectly capable of selling a hybrid console at a loss. That has been its modus operandi to date. However, perhaps Microsoft feels that after almost 25 years on the market, this aggressive strategy has lasted long enough.
All of it depends on pricing, if Xbox and Sony come out with something that is too pricey people aren’t gonna buy it.
a weird take over the name. it's descriptive of what they talk about, the state of unreal engine and future improvements. it's also a developer oriented presentation, so it's not like the name needs to sell people
Sony took it from State of the Union, Nintendo took it from Direct to Video.
