I think the refurbished ones are under appreciated. They have manual calibration by a human, and therefore can exceed the standard factory model:
All refurbished units meet or even exceed the performance standards of new retail units.
The only downside is, it can (but don't have to) have visible cosmetic blemishes. But in return you get same experience and rights of a factory model with lower cost, which is a huge deal in today's day and age. This is the reason why I consider my next Steam Deck 2 (OLED) as a refurbished one. I can wait. :-)
I want to highlight a few mods (because this question will come up eventually :-) ):
Sonic_
Sonic the Hedgehog 1 @ SAGE 2010: A competitive focused challenge with scoring and time attack in mind. Play each Act individually and record highscores for each.
An Ordinary Sonic ROM Hack (SHC 2013): A creepypasta style game, where a creepy Sonic variant is hunting you.
Jesters Challenge: A huge single level maze, that plays unlike a normal Sonic game.
Character Pak: Adds 4 playable characters, Classic Sonic, Modern Sonic, Link and Luigi. into the normal Sonic 1 game. Each with their own movesets and playstyle.
Sonic 3 Knuckles_
Sonic 3 Complete: Improves the game and adds options and features, without altering the original game. Basically the ultimate version how it should have been in the first place.
Streets of Rage 2_
TMNT Shredders Re-Revenge - New Music: Changes the entire game, including all characters, enemies and bosses to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme. Even gameplay is adjusted, such as jumping further and 6 button support. This version with New Music just adds TMNT style music to the already excellent mod.
SF2 (Dhalsim Ryu Guile Ken): Set of multiple mods different set of playable characters from the Street Fighter 2 series. (note their description file is empty)
River City Girls of Rage: Extensive mod, with playable characters from River City Girls. Has ton of gameplay tweaks and features as well, and a uremoved set of moves.
Ghostbusters_
Special Edition: Adds Winston as a playable character and into the story sequences. Plus lots of new features and fixes.
Addams Family_
Afterlife MD (White Suit) + Improved Controls: Adds quality of life improvements such SRAM save functionality and new mechanics. Combined with another hack for better controls.
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3_
Arcade Hack + Recolour (Play v0.71): Brings it closer to the Arcade version, with lots of improvements for audio and visual quality, adds ton of features, restores levels and more. The additional recolour patch makes this the ultimate MK3 experience on Genesis / Mega Drive.
Road Rash 2_
Improvement: Optimizes the framerate for more fluid gameplay and other improvements, adds 6-button control support, fixes lots of bugs, changes some coloring.
Slop: The work is not handcrafted, therefore it is slop. Especially if the results are not natural that fits the game or has problems. Or do you think the artist goes through each result and adjusts it? No? Then it is slop by definition.
Since when does slop only apply to new images (if ai is even capable of producing new images). The work is not handcrafted, therefore it is slop. Especially if the results are not natural that fits the game or has problems. Or do you think the artist goes through each result and adjusts it? No? Then it is slop by definition.
Dude you started this whole nonsense of Bash being more performant. I say without testing you can't make such statements. Besides that, neofetch is very slow. And do you have any Python script doing this kind of work that is slower than neofetch or do you repeat what people say without testing? I do lot of Python stuff and you would be surprised how fast it can be.
No, but I was not the one claiming that the Bash version would be more performant. As said this is querying the system information, in which Python does basically the same job as Bash. I mean we are not comparing math.
I don't believe that. In fact, neofetch is written in Bash and is known to be slow (that is why I looked at faster options). Python is not really slow. It is just a little bit slower on the starting the interpreter, but then it does not matter how fast it is. Because the thing which Python is slow is mostly math and that does not matter much for system query like this.
Did you test neofetch and this program in Python? Because you would be surprised at how fast it can be.
