  1. Windows 11 Can Now Be Installed on PCs That Don’t Meet Minimum System Requirements, Microsoft Says

    This seemed inevitable to combat poor Windows 11 adoption. People will be fuming if they later push an update that breaks it on those systems though, so it is a risk.
  2. CD PROJEKT RED Surprises Cyberpunk 2077 Players with Update 2.2 Announcement: “The Team Still Has Some Gas in the Tank”

    Right. That one. That one was abandoned and will not be coming back. It was a bad idea, and I should never have pursued it :p So, I wanted to lead heat out of my office and make the PC quieter by running really long tubes and stashing all of the radiators, fans and pumps in another room...
  3. CD PROJEKT RED Surprises Cyberpunk 2077 Players with Update 2.2 Announcement: “The Team Still Has Some Gas in the Tank”

    Maybe I am losing my mind, or maybe I am getting too old. I have had high level plans kicking around my head for some time, but I don't remember mentioning this one before. (That doesn't mean I haven't) ?
  4. CD PROJEKT RED Surprises Cyberpunk 2077 Players with Update 2.2 Announcement: “The Team Still Has Some Gas in the Tank”

    Maybe that is something they changed later? I started my playthrough with v 1.31, and it updated to v1.5x (can't remember exact version) about 2/3rds of the way through my playthrough, so when I did the secret ending it was in v 1.5x. In that version I was definitely able to save, but it was...
  5. CD PROJEKT RED Surprises Cyberpunk 2077 Players with Update 2.2 Announcement: “The Team Still Has Some Gas in the Tank”

    I played through all endings. Oddly enough when I re-loaded the game after phantom Liberty was released, I found that all of my save games from the secret ending (there were lots of them, due to how difficult it was) were missing. It was really quite strange. All of my save games from...
  6. Google Unveils State-of-the-Art Quantum Computing Chip: Less Than 5 Minutes to Perform Computation That Would Take Frontier Supercomputer 10 Septil...

    Yep, it's already possible with existing quantum computers, but those are rare enough, and sufficiently limited in capacity that they can only be used in targeted attacks. It becomes a real problem when they get faster, and there are more of them. But yeah, we are really already in a period...
  7. ViewSonic Will Unveil an OLED Gaming Monitor with 520 Hz Refresh Rate at CES 2025, It’s Claimed

    I remember Viewsonic being a decent brand back in the 90's. But that was a long time ago now, and I'm not sure the brand is as highly regarded as it once was.
  8. ViewSonic Will Unveil an OLED Gaming Monitor with 520 Hz Refresh Rate at CES 2025, It’s Claimed

    Look, if someone wants this, that's cool I guess. Let them waste their money.
  9. CD PROJEKT RED Surprises Cyberpunk 2077 Players with Update 2.2 Announcement: “The Team Still Has Some Gas in the Tank”

    I guess it has been a while huh. I played it in late 2021. Feels like I just finished it though. I'm not sure I have been away from it long enough to re-play it yet. Heck, I usually never re-play story based games at all. When I know how the story ends, I wind up not caring for it...
  10. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop Are Free to Claim on the Epic Games Store

    Lol @ Bus Simulator. I'm picturing a game where you get on a bus, choose a seat, and sit for an hour and a half in the evening rush hour commute. ?
  11. MAXSUN Could Be Prepping an Alternate Version of Its Intel Arc B580 iCraft 12G Graphics Card Featuring Two M.2 SSD Slots

    I find it amusing that Maxsun is making GPU's now. It is a brand name I associate with trivial **** tech like ****ty fans, bad pot based fan controllers, adapters, and stuff like that.
  12. CD PROJEKT RED Surprises Cyberpunk 2077 Players with Update 2.2 Announcement: “The Team Still Has Some Gas in the Tank”

    Hmm. I'm almost wishing I started the game later, after Phantom Liberty was released. It's tough to get back into it after the Phantom Liberty DLC released. They should have done a better job of integrating the DLC into the game so it fit with the story even if you finished the game already.
  13. Logitech G Teams with Airdrop Gaming for Audio Radar 7.1 Surround Vision Technology That Allows Gamers to “See the Sound”

    And this right here is why I don't play multiplayer games anymore. I very much should have a say in whether or not the people I am playing against in multiplayer games get to use cheating tools.
  14. Logitech G Teams with Airdrop Gaming for Audio Radar 7.1 Surround Vision Technology That Allows Gamers to “See the Sound”

    I'm all for assistive technologies that help those with disabilities, but not at the expense of ruining all multiplayer games. That sacrifice is just too high. (...and I don't even play multiplayer games anymore, in large part because of streamers and hackers) This very much is in the same...
  15. Logitech G Teams with Airdrop Gaming for Audio Radar 7.1 Surround Vision Technology That Allows Gamers to “See the Sound”

    I'm choosing because I don't want to ruin the game with unrealistic visual queues. If there were an option to limit such visual queues to games where others are also using those visual queues I wouldn't have a problem with them, but having these game ruining visual cues make their way into...
  16. Logitech G Teams with Airdrop Gaming for Audio Radar 7.1 Surround Vision Technology That Allows Gamers to “See the Sound”

    Visual queues are more precise location-wise than audio queues, so if you have them they are an unrealistic and unfair advantage. I feel for people with hearing difficulties, I really do, but this kind of "assistive technology" provides an unrealistic and unfair advantage to people using it and...
  17. Logitech G Teams with Airdrop Gaming for Audio Radar 7.1 Surround Vision Technology That Allows Gamers to “See the Sound”

    Yeah., but leaving it up to the choice of the user, there is no way to police it. I understand that it is designed for the hard of hearing, but should the hard of hearing really have an unfair advantage in game?
  18. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Reveals PC System Requirements, Including Ray Tracing That Can’t Be Disabled and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 for H...

    Really? How many people are actually still playing on pre- RTX 2000 series GPU's? Pre-RX7000 series AMD GPU's might also be a problem, but AMD's market share hhas absolutely fallen off a cliff in th elast few generations, probably largely just because of the lack of RT performance. If you go...
  19. GSC Explains Why It Couldn’t Delay S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Any Longer to Fix Bugs: “You’re So Tired That You Would Just Die”

    Well, I played through maybe 2.5 hours in total, repeating the prologue a couple of times, in an attempt to optimize settings to make it playable. In the end I decided I needed to upgrade my desktop first before playing this title, so I requested a Steam refund. In that time - however - I...
