Putting aside this DEI discussion, which ... ok I get one guy really really really doesn't like it. I kinda just really realized the headline was piracy causes a drop in ~revenue~ Before I was just thinking sales count. But that isn't the same thing. So a game releases for $70. 4 months later...

I think you could say "Graphics" have plateaued. Not really any reason to differentiate between Console or PC really. I mean, sure, they have gotten better recently, but it's been by extremely small increments. The latest advances have mostly been in frame generation, which hasn't really been...

I'm with @Shotglass01 -- still on LTE in most places, if I even get signal at all. 5G was nothing more than a big buzz word to go sell new phones - hasn't really done anything for me. It's kinda like new WiFi standards. Nice... but not really relevant until it's very old news and the next...

This is true. GOG is playing it up because they have a few titles that will continue to work offline, but it’s still just a license to use there too.

I just saw another headline that said Blackwell was SOLD OUT for the next 12 months due to AI demand. So... starting up the FOMO machine early I guess. But things like this make me wonder... I didn't click the headline, nor do I feel the need to link it here to this audience.

Time to buy and sue for false advertising. Get in on the class action action

I should try it with my Steam Deck - not sure what it does if I have 2 machines with games on at the same time

DEI has always been a thing too, it's just had different names over the years. This quote is from 20 years ago, but still rings true. And it goes back waaay before that even. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/1341459-political-correctness-is-america-s-newest-form-of-intolerance-and-it

I think I'm getting old. I'm more excited about getting new tires than I am computer parts any more.

My son's highschool had an eSports team when he was a Freshman. He was all jazzed to join it until we pointed out - they don't play any of the games you play, and they expect you to be good at the ones they do play and he'd have to play them and practice them even if he didn't like the game. He...

I would blame corporate boardrooms getting in the design process and doing Design by Whatever Buzzword is floating around at the time, rather than letting the producers/developers make the games they want to make. I'm not a fan of DEI by any means, but one soulless zombie coder is much the same...

Huh. I was pretty sure the game was called Tetris, and it's just that. Just like you can have a bajillion variations of poker or solitare, but they are still Poker and Solitare. So maybe 15 variations? Maybe I'm just nitpicking.

eSports hasn't died yet? I remember hearing about huge LoL and Overwatch tournaments and pro teams, but seems like all that kinda died off during covid and none of it has really popped back up on my radar. Maybe they are still a huge thing and my news feeds just don't pick up on them at all. I...

This was my thought exactly. When I was young yeah we used to pass around floppies all the time - we didn't really think anything of it. But I haven't done any of that since I got out of a dorm - It started out as too much hassle to find a working copy, then turned into many rips loaded with...

Google knows https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-can-i-access-onedrive-folders-files-from-linux/dd8be09b-ddad-434c-bdc7-a15cde410231 Looks like the two best methods are "rclone" - it's basically rsync, but can also emulate the way Windows connects and looks like a local...

I’m not actively avoiding it… But it also bears no weight in my purchasing decisions either

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. An encrypted backup would just be any other file… .tgz up a dd dump of your encrypted drive and stuff it over. They support Bitlocker to some extent with OneDrive but not sure exactly how that works (wouldn’t trust them not to mine through their own encryption tho)

What a great deal.

Yeah while it was noted above, it was overlooked in your conclusion - and leaving me to think there were no informed choices that could be made in my life without a Microcenter being nearby (Not far from the truth sometimes)
