https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2024-indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-tech-review So I had no idea MachineGames was the developer on this project. I've liked all their work so far except Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. Oh, well I guess I haven't played their 10-level campaign for...

Viewsonic CRTs were siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! Yeah, back in the CRT days. Same. Yeah, those days were the CRT era, and good gawd did they make some awesome CRTs. Also I remember the Viewsonic VX922 as the first LCD panel I didn't absolutely hate (this was back during the TN-only days)...

Just as long as they don't touch Sedona (aka "nVidia Control Panel"), and keep it around, then they can do whatever the f*ck they want with their other garbage.

How heartwarming it is to see that Optimus hasn't changed much since the late 2000s! Woooooow. Like I said, bringing me back to those old days of QA testing nVidia's sh1t. And that makes sense, and is part of the versatility of having a dGPU and an iGPU. My friend has a Surface laptop. nVidia...

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, the fun of playing games on laptops! You're bringing me back in the 2000s, when I worked for a freelance software testing company that had nVidia as one of our clients. Oh gawd the laptop testing, and the endless hassle of dealing with dGPU vs iGPU. Especially if it's an...

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT I didn't know that! Uuuggghhh...

Cuz the hardware is still early gen (nVidia is only on 3rd-gen RT hardware), the installed base is not large enough, and real-time RT hasn't been around long enough. In time it will become a normal standard feature. 4A Games already said they will be building off what they did for Metro Exodus...

Not saying this can't be abused and used for the wrong reasons, but this is supposed to be used by the deaf or the hard-of-hearing.

Yeah. R&C: Rift Apart already made me a strong believer in it. At times the loading speed reminds me of the cartridge days.

On the plus side, disabling TPMs is one way I keep Win11 from getting on machines.

Hall effect sensors for analog sticks became popular to eliminate stick drift, which is a pretty f*cking annoying problem. https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Hall-Effect_Joysticks https://www.pcgamer.com/im-calling-time-on-stick-drift-and-getting-hall-effect-in-every-one-of-my-controllers-in-2024/...

In the 3rd picture, is he levitating the device above his hand?

Oh look, a Leadtek Winfast card. Haven't seen one of those in ages! $200 got me a Radeon 9500 Pro in the early 2000s. One step below the flagship card, and it was $200. THAT'S how things are supposed to be. I complained when the GTX 970 was $330, but gawd I wish second-from-the-top cards would...

Oh sh1t, that's pretty awesome! I've been using PS1 start-up sound as the boot/login sound for every main desktop PC I've had since the late 90s or early 2000s.

I had seen this the other day: I had never heard of this, so I had to look it up. It's not an FPGA console. It uses emulation. Booooooooo. Apparently it uses these: https://stella-emu.github.io/ https://gstanton.github.io/ProSystem1_3/ (source: https://gizmodo.com/atari-7800-review-2000528650)...

My popz and I used to have to drive hours to get to a Micro Center. Extremely happy when the local CompUSA closed and Micro Center moved in. That's about 20min from me. Now they are all over my state. I wish others were so fortunate. Same. Although I have clients who like to shop for major...

Yeah. 7th-gen was the last gen I was heavily involved with. After that, the console market became very "meh". My favorite gens are 4 and also 3 and 6. But 5th-gen was when 3D graphics blew up and the industry moved to 3D en masse, and those were some very interesting and exciting times indeed.

Don't even talk to me about Zynga. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, I worked for a freelance QA software testing company, and Zynga was one of our biggest clients (nVidia was another). We worked on a ton of their Facebook games, and I was on teams that launched games, such as Cityville. I...

Hahahahaha a friend showed me this yesterday: I've been using the PS1 boot-up sound as my PC boot/login sound since the late 90s or early 2000s, for every single main desktop PC I've ever had since then. On my laptop I use the Saturn boot-up sounds (Japanese one for Linux and USA one for...
