    I think its largely the chip manufacturers, but ARM is still making money on licensing fees for Nvidia’s new ai chip (with an integrated 72 core arm cpu) for example

    ARM is in the perfect place where, if a company using their architecture succeeds, they get tons of money, and if the company fails, they lose nothing.

    Yes, the general advice is to start by making and finishing something very simple with a small scope and then after bringing it to a playable state move on to more advanced projects. From what I’ve seen online most people who start out with their “dream” game have their project grow to an unmanageable scope and get burnt out.

    I interpreted it as making fun of Apple’s marketing that people will wear it during IRL group activities

    And it’s obvious that a product that costs 7x more in a competitive space would be better, so it’s not really stretching the truth to say that people will want it more




  • If you spec it out right with used parts you can get really great performance for relatively cheap.

    Here’s a list I put together for fun about half a year ago, prices have probably changed a bit though (Ebay) 13900k: $475, (Ebay) 3090: $630, mobo: $100, (Ebay) 64gb RAM: $100, case: $40, 850w PSU: $130, AG620 cooler: $50, 2tb SSD: $67, fans: $20, (Ebay) 4k monitor: $200, total: $1812

    Or you can look at that chromebook I got on ebay for $40 that I played Celeste, Half Life, and Half Life 2 from start to finish for the first time on after swapping its operating system out with linux (which is actually pretty easy). You can also find old mini pcs with a lot higher performance for similar prices used if you don’t need a laptop.

    Obviously neither of those are very directly comparable but they do show you can get great price to performance in a PC, if you know what to look for.
