  1. Turtle Beach Unveils Victrix Pro KO Leverless Fight Stick with Hot-Swappable Cherry MX Speed Silver RGB Switches, Removable Aluminum Top Plate, and...

    Yeah. My brain kept auto-correcting this to "flight stick" as I was reading it, and I was getting really confused, until they started talking about fighting games. A joyless joystick :p
  2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007) and Call of Pripyat (2009) Have Been Added to GOG’s Game Preservation Program

    They are good games if you haven't played them yet. To convert them from a semi-open world, to a complete open world experience that combines all three original games, look for the "lost alpha" mod. It brings in some areas that were cut in alpha, and combines all three games and makes it even...
  3. Steam Controller 2 Mockup Surfaces Online, Showing Symmetrical Thumbsticks, New Trackpads, and Other Improvements

    I bought two of the old ones for like $5 during the fire sale when they were being discontinued. That was YEARS ago, and I still haven't opened them :p
  4. Gabe Newell Says He Was Attacked by a Shark Recently, But He Wasn’t Really Scared: “I’m Kind of a Weird Person”

    I got kind of up there in my marriage to my ex-wife, but when we split up I found I had more time on my hands and could make time for working out at the gym, taking walks and eating right. I lost like 85lb in 2011-2012 as a result. At 6'3" I went from like 280lb down to ~195, was benching...
  5. DLSS 3 Accelerates Performance In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl by 2.4X on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs at 4K with All Settings Maxed

    I also found it annoying that they were not consistent. Quality mode + DLSS3 frame gen fro 1080p and 1440p, but only Performance mode 9 DLSS3 fame gen in 4k. Might just have to wait for next gen RTX 5000 series to play this adequately at 4k. In some of these tests it almost looks like it is...
  6. Intel Doesn’t Think the Gaming Market Is Big Enough to Justify a Core CPU with 3D V-Cache: “Comes with Trade-Offs, Certain Disadvantages, or Co...

    I don't think "big enough" is the problem. The PC gaming market has never been bigger than it is today. We are in an absolute PC gaming renaissance. (or at least were during the pandemic, the market has retracted a little since then as many upgraded at the same time, and now are waiting for...
  7. MRDIMM: New Ultrafast DDR5 Memory Boosts Intel Data Center Chips, Doubling Memory Bandwidth of Standard DRAM Modules

    I - for one - hope they pronounce this "Mister Dimm" I am all for new technology, but I am 100% against new standards that are proprietary. Hardware like memory should be universally compatible across all platforms in the industry from all vendors. This kind of fragmentation hurts customers...
  8. NVIDIA H200 NVL GPU Delivers 141 GB of HBM3e Memory and up to 3,341 TFLOPS of Performance in a PCIe Form Factor

    Sweet. Nice to rub in our faces what is taking away consumer parts availability from us, and making consumer computing stagnate. **** Enterprise compute, **** AI, **** cloud, **** big data. "We are no longer a graphics company" indeed.
  9. Sony Is Reportedly in Talks to Acquire the Parent Company of Edlen Ring Developer FromSoftware

    Typo "Edlen ring" in title. This is probably fallout from that whole $400M "Concord" fiasco. Concord was pretty much supposed to be the future of Sony's gaming, with spinoffs, communities, etc. etc. everywhere. And when it bombed and was canceled, I guess they figured they would have to...
  10. Microsoft Introduces Windows 365 Link: “The First Cloud PC Device”

    Let me guess. No local storage. Everything is stored on OneDrive. All the information about you and your life contained in your files are OUR property, and we will use it as we see fit, including mining it for information we will use to show you ads to sell you more useless subscription...
  11. MSI Statement Regarding Ryzen 7 9800X3D Damage Incident Posted as Another Involving MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI Motherboard Gets Reported

    Yeah, as long as you are gentle with these things, carefully place them in and allow gravity to do the rest, without trying to force them and stop if you feel any resistance this seems rather unlikely to occur, even if you accidentally place them in the wrong way at first
  12. iGPUs Are Now as Good as Discrete GPUs, MSI Says

    This is hilarious. That's exactly it. The unnamed "Entry level dGPU" is a mystery. What - exactly - are they considering an "entry level dGPU"? The lowest end discrete GPU AMD sells in their current generation, the non-Xt Radeon RX 7600, is is like 3x-4x as fast as the Radeon 890M iGPU...
  13. Windows 11 ISOs for Arm-Based PCs Are Now Available for Download from Microsoft

    I wonder what SoC's are supported. Could be interesting on a small board ARM computer (Raspberry Pi or Odroid, etc.) though Linux already works on those. Heck, could it be installed on a Smartphone? ?
  14. AGON PRO AG276FK Gaming Monitor with 520 Hz Refresh Rate Announced by AOC

    Holy placebo batman. I doubt most people can tell anything above 90hz apart from anything else over 90hz
  15. It’s No Longer a Secret That America’s Most Popular Password Is “Secret”, According to a New Report

    I certainly hope these are only temporary passwords people are supposed to change on first login. Otherwise my countrymen on average are idiots.
  16. BIOSTAR Introduces MT-N97 Fanless PC with Intel N97 “Alder Lake-N” Processor (4C, 3.6 GHz, 12W TDP)

    Intel's little Alder Lake-N all e-core CPU's are great little machines. I particularly love the N97 (which confusingly is faster than the N100) and the Core i3-N305 is quite awesome for things that don't require a lot of brute force. I use a Hardkernel Odroid H4 with an Intel Processor N97...
