    Next PlayStation and Xbox Consoles Are Rumored to Feature AMD UDNA/RNDA 5 Graphics

    Agree. I had a PS4, then switched to XB1X because the PS5 was virtually unattainable when I was looking to upgrade. I had a decent library on the PS4, it got some decent use. I bought exactly 1 game on the Xbox, haven't exactly missed anything exclusive on the PS5 either. The only reason I keep...

    Did my mobo die?

    You're gonna need a lot of rice. (just kidding)

    Bungie Is Working on Removing Artwork from Marathon After a Former Employee Plagiarized Content

    Sad since Marathon had a decent legacy to it and it’s getting destroyed like this

    Stellar Blade Sets New All-Time Record for PlayStation Releases on PC with over 180,000 Concurrent Players

    I admit ... when you do kung fu in a skinsuit, yeah, I kinda do.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Smashes Previous Sales Records, Might Be NVIDIA’s Biggest Launch of 2025

    Quantity doesn't equal Quality and Not all of those 90% are 50 series

    Dune: Awakening Launches in Advanced Access with Very Positive Reviews on Steam, Where Nearly 100,000 Players Have Paid to Give It a Try

    It's on my list but I'm on the fence as well. Not usually a PVP survival open world guy, and this game seems like it's in that genre. But the promise of a well done Dune game is ... tempting.

    Weird laptop screen issue

    If it’s a work laptop managed by your company IT or procurement - absolutely just dump it back on them. If it isn’t broken enough for them to replace it turn a full coffee cup over on the keyboard and claim innocence

    Former PlayStation Boss Warns That Gaming Subscription Services Could End Up Endangering the Gaming Industry

    I'm honestly not too worried for the gaming industry. The only thing at risk, really, are those huge AAA money pits. And for the most part, I'm fine with that. The nice thing about gaming is that it's an industry where if you have some passion, and a good idea, and a good work ethic, and a bit...

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

    Agree - I've subscribed a few times to GP, usually because there's some new game that I'm on the fence about, and $15 to play is a lot cheaper than $50/60/70/80/wtf. A lot fewer regretful purchases that way, but the GP library isn't strong enough to keep me subscribed for any length of time...

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

    I think it's the combination of two things here One is, $70 is steep. Two is, a plain single player FPS today is ... stale? old fashioned?. All it would take is one influencer saying "OMG BEST GAME EVER" and it would take off like crazy though. I think today's crowd, either it's Flavor of the...

    5700x3d

    If you phrase it as 5700X and 4070Ti, or 5700x3d and 3070Ti.. I would do the former. Yeah, the 3d is a better CPU. But in either build case, not a whole lot is going to be CPU bound.

    No GeForce RTX 5060 Review On Launch Day, No Driver

    Shocked. Bet plenty of people flock to it anyway. You know, for Raytracing.

    MAXSUN Announces Intel Arc Pro B60 Dual 48G Turbo Featuring Two Battlemage GPUs for AI Workloads

    Oh, I can't wait to see the final pricetag. I think you are being way too optimistic. Think about how much a small 5% overclock gets marked up. I wouldn't be surprised to see that Grim is closer to the mark at 3k than 1k. Especially if these are marketed as commercial compute cards and not...

    Fortnite Could Soon Return to iOS Devices Once Its Latest App Review Application Is Approved by Apple

    I thought Fortnight was fun when it was a survival team-based shooter. The Battle Royale killed it.
