  • Because my pc uses 4-5 times the power to run the same ps4-era game. (Especially nice when it’s hot in summer)

    So I play it on my ps5, which offers me quick resume as well.

    I love pc gaming, been building pc’s for over a decade at this point, but I do also see the advantages my ps5 has over my pc.

    Could I build a more efficient and quiet pc, attach it to my tv and use that? Probably, and it’d be quite good with steamOS on it, but it’d be finicky to get sleep/resume working on it, and it’d probably cost me more.

    it’s still comically bad compared to various alternatives, even apples-to-apples alternatives like C#.

    I’d be interested to hear why. IMO Java has the superior ecosystem, runtime(s!), and community. The best part is that you don’t even HAVE to use java to access all this - you can just use kotlin, groovy, scala,… instead.

    In terms of the language itself, while it (still) lacks some more modern language features, it has improved massively in that area as well, and they’re improving at a significant rate still. It also suffers from similar issues as PHP, where it has some old APIs that they don’t want to get rid of (yet?), but overall it’s a solid language.
