  1. SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT Video Card Review

    Yup. Remind me again how mandatory PhysX is these days?
  2. MicroProse Announces Knights of Frontier Valley Which It Describes as “A Challenging, Old-School-Inspired Roguelike RPG”

    I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you what it is not (from my humble perspective). If it's not ASCII, it's not a Roguelike.
  3. MicroProse Announces Knights of Frontier Valley Which It Describes as “A Challenging, Old-School-Inspired Roguelike RPG”

    ... to the internet! Meaning of Roguelike ... I don't recall ever having played Rogue itself, but way back in the early days, I extensively played Nethack, which is one of the archetypal variants. I even dabbled and wrote a few scripts for it. These days, people would call that modding. :)
  4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake Will Be Revealed Soon and Launch as Early as April, It’s Claimed

    The devil is in the details. They're messing with some of my favorite systems. This could be good or it might suck. I just know that trying to cram 20 years worth of mods to modernize the original (plus all DLS, of course) is no longer worth the effort ... at least for me. I've put in my 1000...
  5. RIP Skype, Once Popular 22-Year-Old Voice/Video Calling App Is Getting Shut Down in May

    ... meanwhile, the phone on my desk collects dust.
  6. EK Undergoes New Management as PC Water Block Maker Commits to Improving Services, Enhancing Customer Experience, and Delivering Premium Quality Pr...

    I assumed the post title ending in "Pr..." was intended to say "products", but "PR" (as in Public Relations) seems more in line with the conversation. For as long as I've observed EK over the years, they've always been committed to "improving services, enhancing customer experience, and...
  7. AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs & RDNA 4 Architecture & FSR 4: Announcement & Info

    Model it after a Blaze King wood stove and it'd almost strike too close to home.
  8. AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs & RDNA 4 Architecture & FSR 4: Announcement & Info

    Yup. 980ti to 3090ti here. I'll upgrade when I absolutely have to. $2k invested today is more retirement money down the road. Sad thing is GPU prices are rising faster than my investment portfolio, so I may need a different hobby in retirement.
  9. Gothic 1 Remake “Nyras Prologue” Demo Arrives on Steam, Offering Approximately One Hour of Gameplay from Upcoming Unreal Engine 5 Action RPG

    I think I only got about an hour in on the original. The controls were/are far too janky ... and there's too little time to waste that could be given to many other (better) games. And so I did. But the original game has its fans. Note: the demo is also available on GoG (for those who only...
  10. Displayport cable ends

    Yeah, I've been using a letter opener to push the tab because I can't get my finger in the space allowed on either my case/GPU or monitor. I think the locking tab is fine in concept if not in actual practice. Having poked around the internet (and you know all information on the internet is...
  11. Alan Wake 3 and Control 3 Will Be Released in 2029 and 2030, Respectively, Extensive Report on Remedy Entertainment Claims

    If 2 doesn't do well, they can cancel 3 ... that seems to be the industry norm.
  12. PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Packaging Confirms 900 Watt Recommended System Power

    The recommended power supply for an EVGA 3090ti hybrid is 1000w, so not terribly surprised several years later, and yes, I know it's a different brand.
  13. Displayport cable ends

    This is not really a screens questions, but it is related. While shopping for displayport cables, I'm seeing some are available that have a locking plug and others that omit the locking tab. This prompts the following question: does it matter? Are the connection tolerances loose enough to...
  14. Alan Wake 3 and Control 3 Will Be Released in 2029 and 2030, Respectively, Extensive Report on Remedy Entertainment Claims

    Read between the lines? Maybe a Control 2 is already in the pipe. I wasn't all that crazy about the first one, so more coming doesn't really interest me at all. But I suppose the property has its fans. And that's ok.
  15. Steam Begins Warning Players of Early Access Games That Haven’t Been Updated in Months

    Abandoned early access titles litter digital storefronts and need to be delisted until they're provided a substantial update. In this sense, "abandoned" could be defined as an extended period of developer inactivity.
