  • Fair about the years, let’s call them 2019 models instead.

    I do doubt rk3588’s performance because my phone has a76 + a55 and it has nowhere near desktop performance like the person above claimed. And for people with more recent phones it would be a downgrade.

    The soc being merely 3 years old despite having older components doesn’t mean much; you could make the same arguement about the phone being brand new regardless of what cpu it has but that doesn’t change the fact that it doesn’t perform like a 2025 device. This is like amd repackaging zen 2 and zen 3 processors as if they were new by declaring the most significant digit ‘year’ and 3rd most significant digit ‘generation’.

    And I really doubt rockchip (or any other manufacturer) chose a76 because it was better than its successors in some way. As I see it rk3588 is using these cores because they’re the best available on the 8nm process node that rockchip could afford. Which I suppose isn’t unreasonable for a low cost chip in 2022, but this is a 20252026 smartphone that’s reducing costs by using a 2022 chip that itself reduced its costs by using 2019 tech.





  • Progressed a bunch more in witcher 3 but got burnt out again. Finished ugly baby and it seems a bunch of side quests become unavailable after isle of mists and I don’t have time to binge them nowadays.

    Tried to make progress in celeste and they bleed pixels but they were too hard. I think I’ll give up on golden strawberries and do the other stuff on celeste and might end up giving up on tbp entirely as the fire world seems impenetrable. The difficulty curve on that game is insane

    Currently looking for a short ish easy game thag I can just play from beginning to the end without getting stuck or feeling completionist fomo. Suggestions?







  • It really is. I often find myself avoiding long games with intermittent text or dialog (RPGs!) because I get bored when there’s none and want to listen to a podcast but can’t because then I’ll miss the next dialog.

    There’s also the “I’ve got something to do so I can’t deal with starting up a game” and then spending an hour on youtube
