Here's a new concept, stop watching it thinking it's a Star Wars rip off and watch it with no preconception. It plays out more like a sci-fi D&D campaign. Not saying it's the best show ever, but it's better than the nothing else there is to watch right now.

NGL, I picked it up during the steam sale for $5.

I agree. The PC modding community and RP are what's keeping GTAV alive for so long. To release it for console only is crazy.

Still have a Gigabyte 1080 Ti in a spare rig. Bought new at launch. Still a great 1080/1440 card.

"next level stabilizers" Man, all these years of using unstable keyboards. I'm definitely buying one.

*shrug* I never had any problems with GeForce Experience app. I'll give this new one a go though.

When Nvidia control the market they can set the prices to whatever they want. And they sell.

Where can I get a 4090 for $1600? Cheapest one is $2000, and that's a recent price change.

If I want to hang out with a bunch of nerdy dudes I can do that without flying across the country and spending big money to attend a convention. Taking away the eye candy at these conventions is just one nail in the coffin that makes them less appealing to the market demographic. Nerdy dudes.

the woke nonsense kills everything it touches. Started with E3 when they removed the booth babes and it died off quickly after. Any game, tv show, movie, whatever gets wokedified turns to trash. When will people learn?

The compute of these systems is typically sliced up and leased out in time chunks. Like "whatever" university needs this much compute for this amount of time and will cost X dollars. Someone getting all the beans, even for a short amount of time, would be very expensive. These massive compute...

I guess the marketing people thought "vegan leather" sounds better than "recycled plymouth reliant vinyl seats"

No. It's a handheld PC and game streaming device. Also, the sales figures for it are pathetic in comparison to the Switch. Like 1% compared to the Swtich. And it's another Valve product that will be dumped sooner rather than later. Just like the Steam Link.

There's really no room left in the market for another console. There are already 2 big players for AAA titles and then there's Nintendo who rules the handheld market. Anyone else that tries to enter either market ultimately fails. And honestly I'm surprised the Xbox has lasted as long as it has.

The other flip side is that sticking with AMD makes multi platform game development much easier. There's a lot of incentive from the studios to stick with x86.
