any QMK/VIA compatible keyboard should work, right?

This might sound stupid but I'm new to the hobby. how are akkos compared to gateron? cause gateron is what I frequently see recommended, and they do have budget options

that's how I learned to touch type without "learning" It intentionally. never bothered using home keys but I can type at 100-ish WPM and 95% accuracy

I don't have the patience to do that, and after looking for a bit it seems like gateron's pro v3s are cheap enough and high quality, was thinking of going for the creamy yellows too.

Looking to replace the scratchy switches on my womier, any recommendations? (lemmy.ml)
 

I bought the Womier RD75 Pro a couple of months ago, and although It's been great as a first "real" mechanical keyboard for me, the switches are very slightly scratchy, and even though I almost never notice it, I would like a slightly more premium typing experience. I'm trying not to go over 50 dollars for a set of switches for it, any recommendations?

And while I'm at it, have any of you bought this keyboard as well?

I don't understand it either, when I'm playing a video game (except for certain games that are very stylized) I want it to feel like I'm looking through my character's eyes rather than a camera lens. Maybe it's because they think that's what people want when they watch a trailer?

don't worry about it, turning off chromatic abberation, depth of field, motion blur, and lens flare is always the first thing I do when I boot up a game

Im playing with about 20 add-ons currently. do GAMMA and EFP offer quest lines? or maybe a story to progress through?. because thats the one thing I think anomaly is lacking.

its the most popular addon for stalker anomaly, just sort by most downloaded of all time. oh and maybe install the other mods it recommends to go with it. they add finishing touches to the game that make it really immersive

Well I feel like a real idiot right now, I've played stalker anomaly for a long time now. And because I like a stutter free, high refresh rate experience. I hadn't used the graphics upgrade mod. Well my dumb ass didn't fully read through the description, and it turns out it actually increases your performance..

Sure enough I booted up stalker anomaly with the screen space shaders mod, and the game runs a little better than it did. and looks like an AAA game from 2018.

I dunno if any of you play stalker anomaly, but don't skip over this mod.

Most under-utilized consoles? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Is there any retro consoles that you never lived up to their potential? where the games fell short of the hardware?.

Personally I feel that the NDS was under-utilized, as it was a fully 3d capable console, that was used mostly for 2d pixel art games, and platformers. When it was able to support full 3d platformers and even a fan remake of portal.

I really loved stalker 2 but between the blood suckers that take 4 mags to kill, and crashes and corrupted save files. I had enough and I'm back to playing anomaly. anyone else?

Graduating highschool and wanting to work as a programmer, advice? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm a junior in highschool and will be graduating next year, and the degree that makes the most sense to me is computer science. I've always loved using and tinkering with technology, and learning about it when I can.

I've taken the CS50p course as an introduction to coding, and have really enjoyed the problem solving nature of programming. I just don't know what the industry is like, and people keep saying the job market for CS majors is terrible. so I'm not 100% sure that a computer science degree would be right for me. any advice?

update: I've gotten a lot of good advice from comments and have decided to start a personal project of some sort, to test the waters and see if this is something I can do and enjoy as a hobby outside the CS50p course. thanks to everyone who responded!

Lossless Scaling added adaptive frame generation! (store.steampowered.com)

I've tested it in several games and had good results, especially in those that are CPU bound and vary in frame rate a lot. below are my qualitative results from different games. My monitor is 180hz 1440p, frame gen is on it's default settings, and when using fixed mode I cap my fps at 90.

Teardown: Keeps the game looking smooth even when doing higher amounts of destruction, looks better than a fixed multiplier because of the high variability of the game's performance depending on the situation.

Helldivers 2: Slightly worse artifacting, also slightly smoother when in extreme situations with lots of enemies on screen. I prefer a fixed multiplier because of the lower artifacting, but its honestly about the same.

GTA V Enhanced: For some reason adaptive frame gen gives me unplayable levels of input lag in GTA 5, and unstable frame rates, whereas a fixed multiplier works fine.

Noita: the exact same.

anyone else have thoughts on this update, or lsfg in general?
