Until today morning I wasn't aware about this e-yuan thing. I learned about it today on my local newspaper (yup, I still read those ancient things).

The info there was very sparse, so I google it, and dumb search results appeared like this one: "For every $250 you invest in expect potential profits of $5100 within mere months!"

So I came here on this newly created investment forum ask for your honest opinions about this particular currency. If I asked something too trivial or dumb (or both) please don't bash me hard, I have no knowledge whatsoever, as I never ever invested in anything but real estate until now.

Yeah that sounds kind of dumb.
"For every $250 you invest in expect potential profits of $5100 within mere months!"
This should be a huge red flag.
When someone tries to sell you something like that, you should ask yourself, if it's that great, why don't they do it themselves

    @K3Nv2, Exactly. Take note of the Switch, for example. Its underpowered compared to how older tech was capable of doing just about anything.

    @K3Nv2, Not gonna lie, about half of its game library was shovelware like its counterpart, the Wii.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, and the other half were just 1st party games

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, The Wii U was essentially an early Switch, before the Switch was a thing.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They already had the technology but the price to performance wasn't there

    Older systems I love some of the games but without filters and enhanced graphics they are difficult to enjoy

    Especially the PS1....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    That thing needs all the bandaids lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think my favorite PS1 enhancement is sub pixel precision, helps get rid of some of those wobbly polygons lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Psionic Roshambo, By default, the polygons are filtered with differing to simulate depth, which doesn't make them clearer.

    Which GPU was hot in the ps1 era psi besides all of them

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There are ways to disable this by creating cheat codes, but this requires knowledge of the PS1 hardware.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    @Psionic Roshambo, the filters i hate the most are the bilinear ones
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @K3Nv2, when the PS1 was out I had the PS1 the N64 and on PC I had the Voodoo 2 and glide looked soooo nice at the time 🥰
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Biliniar filters are OK but brz is better I like SuperEagle but out of all of them xbrz is probably the most computationaly expensive
