    Microsoft increases prices of consoles, accessories, and games...

    It would be convenient if this was due to tariffs… but I don’t think it is. Not that I agree with them, but that’s an entirely different discussion for another place.

    Microsoft increases prices of consoles, accessories, and games...

    I guess this is one way to gracefully exit the hardware business, while subtly pushing everyone to your subscription service They didn’t even have the courtesy to roll this out with a refresh or anything. Had they done anything to the hardware, even a new color or a “slim” or something, they...

    Borderlands 4 Twenty-Minute State of Play Deep Dive Details New Vault Hunters and Weapons, Revamped Gameplay, and More

    I’ll be honest, other than the one that had annoying gravity - if I sat down and played a random Bl game I couldn’t really tell you what version I was playing. They all kinda play/feel the same to me. Not necessarily a bad thing, in small doses. But it was always - see the main story play...

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

    Give more time for that $80 price point to sink in, so when GTA6 comes out at $100 it seems more normal

    Weird laptop wifi issue

    Check power settings. Probably some power saving thing for the WiFi that is kicking in. Either in the advanced Power settings for Windows, or the driver for the WiFi card on Device Manager The hint is that it changes with the power cord, and Windows will automatically change Power settings...

    EA Institutes Roughly 300 Layoffs That Include Around 100 Staff at Respawn, Two Projects Canceled, One of Which Is Believed to Be a New Titanfall Game

    Wasn't Apex pulling in big dollars at one point? I thought it was still fairly large.

    GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GAMING OC 16G Video Card Review

    F'n $600 for an entry level GPU is ... just gonna kill gaming rigs. Why not just get a console for that money? Say hello to our new discrete graphic overlords.

    Swapping SSD from an HP laptop to a Dell

    I think you need to run the Repair option in Windows Recovery to reset the UEFI boot partition, since MBRs aren't really used any longer.

    Star Wars Zero Company Is a Turn-Based Tactical Game Set During the Clone Wars, Coming from EA in 2026

    From EA. Amazing how annual releases of Madden and FIFA can sustain a company

    Swapping SSD from an HP laptop to a Dell

    I've not tried it in many years, probably since WIndows XP. There, you sometimes had to jigger with the MBR, but you could at least get Windows to try to boot. Then you'd get all the mismatched drivers. It was almost universally better to just reinstall cleanly. With Win11, I assume the UEFI...

    Dead mobo or CPU?

    My thought too. It could be either, but much better odds of it being a motherboard than CPU

    Overwatch 2 Season 16 “Stadium” Trailer Released, New Game Modes, Including 3rd Person View, and Heroes Inbound

    Just doing what Microsoft does best - bury games and developers. Although I think ActiBliz was probably already on this trajectory all by themselves.

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    Metric vs Standard drives me batty. I don't really care which one - just pick one and stick with it. Ford used to drive me nuts with this.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB and 16 GB Models Are Said to Launch Tomorrow with RTX 5060 to Follow in May

    My prediction: this card will hit some lower price point so that nVidia can have a product there, but it won’t be worth the money. It will have too many compromises to make the more expensive cards continue to look good. But people will buy it anyway because it has a green label. And AMD will...

    The Z Build(s) 3.0 - Go Big and/or Go Home

    I think "Later" was last weekend. Sucks, I'm sorry, but apparently everyone had the same idea as you.

    Nvidia driver crashing with newest drivers and monitor DP port when More than 1 monitor used.

    I just tried this, and my jaw dropped. It's pretty neat. It picks up all sorts of stuff.
