It's really frustrating because AI could be a good tool when used right, but there seems to be only two prevailing opinions of it. One thinks it is the devil and hates it no matter what, the other thinks it's magic and can do anything at the click of a button.

Why loose one drive worth of data when you can loose it all in a RAID crash? :LOL: Yeah, I learned that the hard way, when I lost about 10 years from my collection of photos and videos due to a raid corruption.

When I saw the title pop up in my feed: "Halo Campaign Evolved", I genuinely thought it was a new campaign driven game. Only to learn it's just another freaking remaster. I'm so tired of these lazy crash grabs. Make new single player games **** it.

Yeah "left" they were laid off, due to an ever dwindling readership. That's what 10 years of lecturing, gaslighting and attacking your own audience (and the industry) gets you. They literally bit the hand that was feeding them. And the only survivors are weasels like Jason Schreier or Paul...

You mean this?

Writing code with AI is like having an enthusiastic intern high on drugs working for you. It will confidently tell you things that aren't true, use functions that never existed. But it's still helpful because it does the busy work, all you have to do is clean up its mistakes. But MS probably...

I'm not sure about this one. Instead of reminding me of the best of Mass Effect / bioware it gives me outer worlds and andromeda vibes. I'm on wait and see approach about this, not writing it down completely but also not getting excited yet.

My immediate thoughts: Who the heck is Glen Schofield, and what does Elon Musk have to do with the gaming industry?

It's not even real, it only identifies as windows 11: After I installed Explorer Patcher in 0.00001ms the only notable difference is that it is more unstable than Win10. I hadn't had a hard lockup in ages, it happened twice already with this.

Isn't this the one where the remasters made the game worse by being based on the console version instead of the PC version?

The first one, the one they refer to as beige looks like an old central heating radiator salvaged from some dilapidated flooded building. The wood ones would look OK if it matches your furniture but the glass side panel kind of clashes with the wood finish. Can we not have just a solid side...

They didn't lock it down they killed physx. If you try to run a physx game on a modern nvidia gpu it won't work or only in software mode running like crap. But that's neither here nor there, on one hand they did a bad, but if they didn't buy physx we might be needing two pieces of expensive HW...

Maybe I'm loosing my memory but what proprietary tech did they push before RTX and DLSS?

Well, I did bring up the Pinto for that reason, where Ford decided it will be cheaper to deal with a few fire related lawsuits, than doing a recall and fixing the dangerous fuel system. But they ended up paying the price. I think nvidia will get away with it unless an actually bad fire happens...

I'd love nothing less than buying a dozen games a year, but there are simply not enough games that seem even remotely worth my time. Even the ones I did end up buying recently just weren't good enough to finish. The last game I actually finished was almost 2 years ago now. Nothing from 2024, and...
