    Meet the Hyte X50 Case, A Case With So Much Potential that Hyte Left Other New Products Behind

    You're not catching me out, I read the article :D The air variant is supposedly mesh, unless it's very dense (wouldn't be much of an "air" then) it is still see-through, not solid.

    Meet the Hyte X50 Case, A Case With So Much Potential that Hyte Left Other New Products Behind

    Looks like a coca cola vending machine from the 50s, made by bethesda's merch department. (ie looks awfully cheap and plastic-y) I think it would actually look significantly better if the curved side was solid red and not a window.

    SilverStone Debuts a Retro Tower Case and an IceMyst PRO line of AIO Coolers

    I'm pretty sure turbo mode was only meant to be disabled for compatibility with older software tied to CPU clock rate.

    Single-Player Gaming Is Back as DOOM: The Dark Ages Hits a Major Milestone to Become Id Software’s Biggest Launch Ever

    TBF $70 is a steep price for any game, not just this one. I haven't purchased a game at that price yet, except for ultimate / collectors editions that came with a season pass.

    Single-Player Gaming Is Back as DOOM: The Dark Ages Hits a Major Milestone to Become Id Software’s Biggest Launch Ever

    I had games pass three times, twice for free and once for like $1 / month in promotions. And I already observed it interfering with my gaming habits. I've tried a bunch of games to not "let it go to waste" so basically, it made me waste my time on games I'd not otherwise poke with a stick. And...

    Single-Player Gaming Is Back as DOOM: The Dark Ages Hits a Major Milestone to Become Id Software’s Biggest Launch Ever

    Games pass is the eternal excuse to those who refuse to accept that a game is a flop. If I had a tin foil hat I'd say the only reason they keep around games pass is so they can spin flops as successes to investors. And I hate it that people are fooled by this tactic. However I don't believe...

    Single-Player Gaming Is Back as DOOM: The Dark Ages Hits a Major Milestone to Become Id Software’s Biggest Launch Ever

    Corporate spin, it's their first doom game to be on games pass. Players tried it does not equal players who paid for it. It produces a third of the players on steam compared to eternal. If their plan was to cut into their own profits by a desperate attempt at promoting their subscription, then...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Will Be the “Most Ambitious DOOM Game to Date” When Prequel Launches for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox App for Windows PC, Steam, P...

    Well, this is unexpected: Is this damage from Eternal, or is it flopping for other reasons?

    Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Now Pushed Back to May 2026

    I think GTA is overrated, not to say that they are bad games, far from it, but they were just no-nonsense action games. Ironically it is exactly this fun that they started dismantling since GTAIV, by shifting the tone to be more serious. I felt GTAV was already taking itself too seriously for...

    Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Now Pushed Back to May 2026

    By the time the PC version is out it will come down in price either way, or if not: It's their loss, literally.

    Grand Theft Auto VI Release Date Now Pushed Back to May 2026

    I'd rather not play a game than pay $80 for the standard edition, I haven't even paid $70 yet. No, thanks.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Early Benchmarks Indicate a Great-Looking Game That Performs Well at 1080p/1440p but Needs a Powerful GPU for 4K

    Yes, but in the 2000s, you could upgrade your PC every 8-10 months just by saving up your lunch money. Now it would cost me 3 to 4 months* salary just to buy a 5090. Things are very much not the same. People are getting priced out of the industry, there will be no PC enthusiasts soon if this...

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Early Benchmarks Indicate a Great-Looking Game That Performs Well at 1080p/1440p but Needs a Powerful GPU for 4K

    That's expected when no fakery is in place. In raw performance the 5xxx series is a sidestep at best.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages Early Benchmarks Indicate a Great-Looking Game That Performs Well at 1080p/1440p but Needs a Powerful GPU for 4K

    We are going backwards. 1080p was the peasant setting even 10+ years ago. The current arrangement is too comfortable for AAA developers and video card manufacturers. Devs can use computationally expensive features that barely improve graphics if not outright making it worse, while nvidia sells...

    Half Life 3 Rumored to Be “Playable, End-to-End,” and Valve Might Release Gordon’s Final Adventure Sometime This Year

    Leaking it one week before announcing it and then releasing it on the same day is not promotion. It didn't need marketing because people wanted it. It's the same deal with HL3.

    Tim Sweeney Says Unreal 6 Is a Few Years Off, and Is Aimed at Bringing the Best of Both Worlds Together

    Unreal engine has ruined optimization. Why do we put up with the same stuttering mess in every game? It's exactly this "best of both worlds" approach is what is causing a lot of problems. 99% of games don't need the features made for fortnite.

    Half Life 3 Rumored to Be “Playable, End-to-End,” and Valve Might Release Gordon’s Final Adventure Sometime This Year

    I'm not ruling anything out after Bethesda released oblivion remastered with absolutely no promotion beforehand.

    Half Life 3 Rumored to Be “Playable, End-to-End,” and Valve Might Release Gordon’s Final Adventure Sometime This Year

    I hope when it releases it will be playable from beginning to end, not end to end :D

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Has Become One of the Highest-Rated Video Games of the Year So Far

    It's definitely no souls game. It has some soulslikeness to it in that you have to learn the patterns of the enemies to successfully counter them, but it's not frustrating like a souls type, because it's more forgiving than that, To be fair, I think the gameplay is mediocre at best, what sells...
