A lot of monitors have particularly bad HDR, the max brightness being so low you might as well not bother. And as you’ve found out some games are really washed out for some reason. Like to the point where the game is almost entirely grey.
Worse, some games actually detect the capability in the monitor and turn it back on, and for that reason I wasn’t able to play Nex Machina on PC.
It’s basically HDR (the 10 bit display kind, not the Half Life 2 kind), but with more metadata.
What I find is that if you have a Dolby Vision capable TV, it will be already calibrated to something that looks good, rather than you having to fuck around telling it how bright “paper” is or some shit.
HDR displays are surprisingly tricky, even without Dolby Vision or HDR10+. Especially if you’re mixing SDR and HDR content on a display. I tried it a few years ago on Windows and it was flat out awful. I think they’ve fixed a lot of it up now with Win 11, but even they took their damn time over it.
MS do sell Atmos (and DTS:X) support as an individually licensed thing, threough Dolby Access and DTS Sound Unbound on their store.
I do wonder how it could work in Linux, as well as getting things like commercial streaming services in 4K.
Presumably some sort of black box hardware would be needed (for the super top secret Widevine L1 shit), the manufacturer of that can pay the Dolby fees, and then just some basic open source code to call the hardware features.
Yeah, it’s just what would work for me once I cancel Netflix Premium Plus with Reduced Adverts.
You’re absolutely right, that’s just me not wanting it for Jellyfin on those grounds.
For mainstream users, I would assume that Linux being unable to run streaming services at full quality would discount it as a serious contender as well.
Does it support Dolby Vision?
Because if not, I’m not sure how it’s going to compete with Android TV devices.
Makes me wonder if he could just rip the branding from it, alter the character a bit and stick it out again.
I can all but guarantee that’s an American writing that comment anyway.
They look pretty much the same in terms of skin tone. It’s not whites vs browns. They all just look Mediterranean, which isn’t that surprising because that’s where they are. Palestinians are a lot lighter than people seem to think.
Unless we’re going with the US definition of race, in which anybody coming from a poor country is non-white. I mean, they used to think the Italians and Irish weren’t white.
You should see the definitions and examples of antisemitism the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.
That’s what they’ve been pushing.
Bloody anti-Semitic Hollywood. It’s so typical and clearly there are no Jews working there…
If you see yourself in the bad guys actions, maybe do something else…
I think that was the PS3. They took it out later though, and had to give a paltry amount of money back to people who were using it.
It’d be nice to see homebrew coding return to consoles. Something like Godot ported to it and installed, kind of like Dreams but less limited.
I first got into programming via Basic on the ZX Spectrum, and I do worry how future generations will get into it now they’ve all gone back to phones instead of PCs.
They had bizarre TV adverts as well. You could never accuse early 2000s Sony of not getting weird with it.
I don’t know if any of it really helped. It rode in on the already wildly successful PS1. It had a DVD player in it back when a DVD player was quite expensive. It had SSX and Tekken Tag at UK launch. It could play all your PS1 games and “upscale” them. The only competition it had at launch was the Dreamcast. It was going to sell anyway.
I just don’t want to be navigating while going 200mph. The big goofy arrow barriers are part of the Burnout experience, and Paradise not having them to keep me on track kills it for me.
Also, I embrace Takedowns, but reject Traffic Checking. This is the way. It’s all about the tiny pinpricks of light in the distance rapidly becoming metal walls of death. If you’re not in the oncoming lane, that’s not Burnout
I just can’t reconcile the guy that has to be told to tone it down a bit by Darth Vader, to the pussy he becomes in that show.
And even that is a masterpiece compared to the Obi Wan series…
I think Hot Pursuit played more like Burnout than Burnout Paradise for me.
Although the series peaked at Burnout 3.
How dare you slight the cohesion and vision of the Whatever Sony Has The Rights To Cinematic Universe?
Next task: put in into an actual cartridge so you can play them on a real Gameboy Color.
I’ve had a few games come with a handful of items for some reason, and very quickly learned to never use them.
Pre order now and ruin the game!
Yeah, command lines just feel native on Linux, where in Windows it feels like it’s running off behind the scenes to fetch a grown up.
