Discussion Comfy Café #14

I don't mind the wait, I'm eager to see the final result.

 

Yup. They just don't give a damn about optimization these days.

The fact that Crysis 1 and Warhead (which were, by the way, among the worst optimized games for their respective years) have greater draw distance and technical advancement than games being released nowadays is atrocious.

And don't even get me started in the AI in games nowadays. 2010's Halo: Reach has better AI than 99% of games being released now. Heck, 2001's Halo CE has better AI than half of games being released now. And I am not even exaggerating. It is true.

Is dandruff from Santa's pubes?

I am not going to be playing it myself.

However, to anyone that does: The game having Denuvo (or any strict DRM BS) means that you are morally obligated to pirate that game.

Sail the high seas, comrades

Who the fukk cares about it feeling more "clean" if it is just impractical for most people?

Samsung devices are known to be well balanced, with a nice feel in-hand. Ditto for Oppo, OnePlus, even Xiaomi.

Oof size = OnePlus Ace 6T's battery

The iphone's 480 Hz PWM, with 15% amplitude is a secondary frequency that is used for power savings and some other technical bullshit. The actual primary frequency that your eyes perceive is 120 Hz, with 25-45% amplitude, according to both Cybershack Australia and Notebookcheck Germany. That is why the PWM is messing with you.

120 Hz PWM with 25% or higher amp, 8-bit 16.7 million colour reproduction - all on such an expensive device is absolutely inexcusable. Especially so when you have devices costing a quarter as much with 720 Hz PWM, sub-20% amp, and 10-bit 1.07 billion col rep. Heck, Xiaomi has devices costing a third as much with 12-bit displays, eye-friendly PWM, and 68 billion col rep with Dolby vision support.

Tips, from someone who has used a Galaxy A51 (125 to 250 Hz PWM):

* Always use dark mode. Always.

* Get a matte screen protector made of Gorilla Glass 3, 5, or 7i. (Note: Note a typo with 7i there).

* The lower the display brightness, the lower the PWM and higher the amp. Keep display brightness always above the 50% mark (on the manual slider). Never go below that, even in bed late at night.

* Refrain from using the auto-brightness feature. If it makes the display too dim indoors or at night, the PWM issues will get worse.

* Avoid using the phone indoors with no lights. Keep the lights on. I know you can't do this 100% of the time in daily usage. But try to avoid using the phone in an unlit room as much as reasonably possible.

* Uh... Drink plenty of water. No, really. Staying hydrated helps with PWM sensitivity.

* No iphone on the shitter. Poop phone-free.

And lastly:

* Consider returning the iphone and getting a different device.

^ Note: Being serious here. Do consider this option.

 

I am on dark always; I now notice it on the old phone as well now what the fuuuuufkkkkkkkkkk

 

Time to go live in the woods, this is an eye opener, **** every phone company

 

Have you considered Fairphone?

But, yes, in general: Fukk every phone company.

The game publishing companies are full of greedy idiots that need to be guillotined and the gaming communities are full of idiots whose systems need to be confiscated for their own damn good.

Some recent Ubisoft titles have had AI so atrocious that they range from laughable to just plain sad.

PWM dimming in OLED displays is a method of brightness and colour accuracy control, and it allegedly offers the following advantages compared to eye-friendly DC dimming:

* Cheaper.
* More energy efficient.
* Does not sacrifice colour accuracy.
* Extended display longevity and durability.

However, I do not believe these arguments hold water since late 2020-21.

The Redmi Note 13 Pro (2023) is the best example of this. That device is cheaper than the Galaxy A34 and A54 of the same year, and comes with a 10-bit 1.07 billion colour display with Dolby Vision support, 700 Hz PWM with 13% amplitude backed by DC dimming, there is no noticeable difference in battery life with or without DC dimming enabled, DC dimming does not seem to affect its colour accuracy, older devices (from Motorola) using the exact same DC dimming tech don't seem to have sacrificed display durability or longevity even after several years, the Redmi in question is known for having a display that is quite drop resistant.

The same all apply to the likes of the Motorola Edge series, comparable Honor and Huawei devices, and comparable Oppo devices.

At this point, Samsung and LG have no excuses for their shit-ass outdated displays. Those two and the likes of Apple and Google are just being stingy motherfukkers.

 

I considered offing myself tbh

 

Star Wars Outlaws AI is so bad that people are disgusted to the point that they don't even want to make memes of how bad that AI is any more, and they don't even want to pirate the game.

It is penny-pinching, plain and simple. DC dimming tech is so cheap, widespread, and so inconsequential for colour accuracy right now that the likes of Samsung and LG have no excuse for not adopting that tech into their own displays.

Meanwhile, BBK and even TCL are raking in the money from selling their clearly vastly superior displays to all sorts of clients worldwide.

@underlined
Yup. Pretty much. Also to make the display allegedly more energy efficient.

However, Oppo and OnePlus have proven the latter point to be utter bullshit with all of their AMOLED-equipped smartphones. They deliver better battery life using 10-bit displays with high PWM and DC-dimming than comparable Samsung devices using 8-bit displays and 240 Hz PWM.

Xiaomi and Motorola also seem to be on track to fixing the DC-dimming energy efficiency issues in their devices. The issue seems to be mostly gone with the Poco F8 series, Redmi Note 15 series, and Motorola Edge 50 series onwards.

A lot of people desire increased colour accuracy on mobile displays for the sake of more accurate photo/video previews, better gaming experiences, and also better cinematic experiences.

I know this shit may not seem like such a big deal to you and even myself. However, given that better is possible for the same amount of money, Samsung and LG have no excuses for being cheap cunts.

At this point, I'm willing to believe they are not just being cheap, but outright malicious.

Off the iphone instead and buy either a Fairphone or Jolla.

 

Ruined my Christmas this

 

;( but that’s not just in iPhones

 

I don’t get though how tf am I having it worse compared to S23 Ultra which WAS the eye killer for many, yet…for me it worked somehow wtfff
