Accuracy isn't always the point of video game emulators since gaming experience is a subjective thing. Most of old games were crippled by the limitations of the hardware their run on. Inaccuracies can very much improve the experience, like removing sprite limits, displaying wider aspect ratios or in this case improving sound interpolation.

>improving sound interpolation.

To make it sound subjectively worse, for every sample in that page. Others noticed as much.

It sounds better... on paper. In reality, it doesn't, simply because it isn't how it is supposed to sound.

We just have to define what an "error" is first, good luck with that.

Considering "jpeg" has become the shorthand for "digital picture", it would be a shame not to capitalise on it.

I feel like "jpeg" has generally become a shorthand for "low quality compressed digital picture"

Hence the meme response "Needs more jpeg" https://old.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2ct3ax/e...

In the photography world it's shorthand for "photo unedited straight from the camera". Popular with Fujifilm cameras especially due to their 'film simulation' modes which apply basically a filter to the image.

Not really? Unedited would be some sort of raw. JPEG usually implies preprocessed by the camera

I guess I meant unedited by the photographer manually (e.g. using Lightroom etc.)

Either that or a photo that has been edited from a RAW and is a final version to be posted online.

I feel like you need to find better places on the internet. It's no longer 1997 downloading from dial up.

What makes jpeg compression bad isn’t low bandwidth. It’s really good at compressing an image for that.

What makes jpeg bad is that the compression artifacts multiply when a jpeg gets screen captured and then re-encoded as a jpeg, or automatically resized and recompressed by a social media platform. And that definitely isn’t a problem that has gone away since dialup, people do that more than ever.

I'm not saying it's true, I obviously understand that not all jpegs are low quality and over compressed. That's just how the word is generally used by people, especially those outside of tech who aren't well versed in different image formats.

"diJital PEGchure"

Is it pronounced jay-peg or gee-peg?

Nah, that's WEBP, the most hated file format.

JPEG XS :D

Excess?!? I certainly don't want any of that in my image encoding formats!

Exactly. Image compression should excel at avoiding excess.

Though maybe some people think the JPEG committee is now creating spreadsheet formats...

GTA6 is most likely the most anticipated cultural product of all times. Unfortunately, sensationalization makes perfect sense from news websites perspective.

Multiple reasons : IA pushback, better gaming experience, Linux becoming more and more mainstream with distro like Bazzite and CachyOS.

Country specific subs aren't better either. They slowly changed from comfy places to talk about laid back topics to a full on brigaded cesspool where only the most polarizing opinion thrive.

Because ad blocking isn't provided by default in Firefox. It isn't as opinionated as Brave, for the better and the worse.

Those games are a grain of sand in the infinite desert that is the indie game world. The vast majority of indie games on Steam are barely even noticed by anyone.

Schedule One sold more copies than a brand new Assassins Creed game at launch on Steam, Minecraft has sold more copies than most AAA games, including GTA 5.

Yeah, sometimes I look back and think: Why didn’t they just choose to build a genre defining game? Next you’ll tell me that instead of just buying Bitcoin at $1k they chose to make yet another game.

Minecraft has sold like 350 million copies which is more than second and third place combined IIRC if you look at the top best selling games

Huh huh, he could have just said "PRs are welcome" then. This is a window manager, no need to be weird by being this specific.

It's an abortive attempt at parody. Could've just said "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog" and we could at least enjoy the throwback.

Yo, thanks for the throwback [1] XD

It is when those anticheats gatekeep the most popular PC games. For most gamers, they can't compromise on what they play and there is still a very large amount of potential games that would forbid a switch to another OS. See : https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Most of those are addiction machines and f2p shitholes, that they isolate themselves from the system is a win in my book.

sour grapes

Well, sometimes the grapes actually are sour...

> For most gamers, they can't compromise on what they play

I'm sorry, but 98% of video games are not competitive multiplayer IAP fests.
