I can try it again, but what I did was compare h265 to SVT-AV1 in ffmpeg, using a couple different clips of different styles (including a video from my phone and some ripped blu-ray movies). I used “constant quality / variable bitrate settings, and ran each file with a variety of settings for both encoders. I judged the videos with a quality comparison tool ffmpeg has, and I also took subjective notes when I could tell the difference.

I found AV1 did better at very low quality (when it was firmly into the region where it was visibly different, AV1 did have better quality per bitrate).

But when trying to produce high-quality clips, AV1 was never able to produce a clip that matched the quality score of h265, even when the bitrate of the AV1 file was higher.

AV1 only has gains at very low quality settings. For high quality, h265 is much better. At least with the codecs available in ffmpeg, from my tests.

It would be nice if they could finish AV1 first…

If it wasn’t actual candy I could see this as a way to trick kids into brushing their teeth

Hollow Knight (more so than Silksong tbh)

Night in the Woods (not the same vibe as the games you mentioned but absolutely a “had a bad day” vibe)

My 25 year old SO got carded while my 19 year old brother wasn’t questioned when we were at a liquor store. I think because my brother had a big beard they assumed he must be old lol.

I’d rather they add an easy mode than globally nerf the difficulty

There are load times in Metroid Prime, they just hide it by keeping the door closed until the area on the other side is ready. Sometimes the same door will take different amounts of time to open.

I’ve always liked that in Halo games you survive long enough to react, unlike in most FPS games where it’s basically whoever sees the other first wins.

If AI coding is causing such a revolution, why are we not seeing a sharp increase in code production?

This one is supposed to work on the Switch 1

AAC is generally better than mp3, but idk about Opus.

If the ISP doesn’t provide V6 though it’s time to switch ISPs.

I got a huge reduction in random login attempts when I changed my ssh port away from the default.

(Of course I also have actual security measures like log in by key only)

I live in a bigger US city that does have a metro. It’s not bad for doing longer trips in certain directions, when it’s working. But it breaks down at least a few times a year, and if you have to make a transfer to another train to make it to your destination, it’s often literally faster to walk.

I spent a few $1000 on the computer, I’ll spend $100 more to make it look fancy

Private servers are not always a viable alternative option for players as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist and would leave rights holders liable.

Then it sounds like the legislation enforcing leaving private servers on the table should also move the liability to whoever is hosting the servers. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t work that way already tbh.

That’s kinda the way of the world in general unfortunately.

They want to be a sport and betting on high-level sports is quite common.
