  • Probably not, I can’t inmediately notice it, but you see, games like Ez2On Reboot: R have a very robust customization suite, including timing adjustment and indicators for when you press a key too early or too late. The game combines both features on a single option where you play a song while the game automatically adjusts the delay between your keystrokes and the “target” you’re supposed to be hitting. Using that feature, the game added around 3ms window to my keystrokes, and after a couple of game sessions, you can actually feel the game being slightly off-beat (since those kind of games actually play sounds whenever you press a key, your “play” sounds slightly delayed using the rest of the song being auto played by the PC). Also, the early/late counter at the end of each song increases one way or another. Again, it’s not immediately noticeable, but you feel something’s off and the results screen can confirm it.








  • Necesitas un SSD para que tú sistema operativo funcione bien. Necesitas un SSD para juegos que carguen constantemente desde almacenamiento, como las mierdas de ports de PS5 que nunca corren bien.

    Para todos los juegos viejos o más pasados que cargan todo el contenido en memoria, compra HDDs. El 99% de los juegos no le van a sacar el jugo a una SSD, y Salvo por un par de segundos de carga menos, no vas a ver grandes beneficios.




  • I get that on Steam, MacOs was more popular than Linux due to the sheer size of its user base, but how on earth do you play games on a Mac? I got my first MacBook from work AND because it was a work laptop not intended for gaming, but that didn’t stop me from installing steam and try… Like a 10% of my Steam library? What!!! Yeah, I can play Team Fortress 2 and Stardew Valley, maybe some RetroArch for slow working days, but not much else! How was MacOs the second biggest platform on Steam with such a small compatibility list?!



  • Here in Santiago, capital of Chile, we are usually well tucked in our houses by July. We are located in a fairly dry zone, but close enough to the Andes mountains to have fresh water reserves for the biggest city in the country as long as the spare rains keep coming. Also, sky resorts thrive from April to September with all the fresh snow.

    The current heat wave has thrown a lot of things out of whack. For starters, there’s currently no rain during a historically rainy month, which means that future water reserves might be low. Current ones are no better since melting snow is muddying our current reserves and shortages of public water supply are a possibility. Yes, watching green mountains in July is beautiful, but also the sky resorts are getting worried about their seasonal income (they are all pivoting into trekking and sightseeing, but that’s not nearly as popular).


  • I didn’t knew Haelian or this 64 Heat situation, but I usually watch speedrun and gaming challenge videos and the impossible max heat video popped up on my feed earlier this week. I gave it a watch and ended up reinstalling Hades just to check out how stupidly hard the challenge was. Not two days after that, the winning run pops in my feed, and the day after I watch Haelian reacting to the run. Somehow, by pure luck, I got to watch a record beaten almost in real time, and the context needed to understand why it was such a huge deal! Kudos to everyone involved!!!
