Me too. Digital has its own set of issues, and I do miss physical media being available — but by and large I also prefer digital distribution. Cloud computing should be the next logical extension of that - but it’s been well covered here; the shortfalls are too steep with current technology

You and I do.. but a lot of people any more don't have any use for a desktop at all... Hence the market for Chromebooks and such. Which are pretty much cloud-based platforms like you describe.

Chromebooks and smart phones have been around for a good while now

Not opposed to it honestly. Some of Intels best stuff came from Israel. After all, they have all that experience from years of running all the call centers! (Sorry couldn’t keep that one to myself)

You aren't wrong. But it sends a pretty strong message when you are sunsetting a product that's only a couple of years old. "What's next on the chopping block" is what I'm hearing.

If I were a betting man, I would bet half this price increase is just people speculatively buying the run-up.

Holy cow, didn't Raptor Lake just launch a couple years ago? Arc is older than that. (and I still can't believe it hasn't been axed or sold off...)

Experience has shown me it's always worse than I expected.

This is truth right here. Get ready to fall in love all over again with discrete video and gaming consoles.

Indeed. And yet, Suicide Squad still exists. I can't think of a DC-based game since the Batman Arkham series years ago, if we exclude the Lego ones, although I'm sure some have existed. But you are absolutely correct - there's a lot of content there to mine and there ~could~ be some great games...

I'm sure they would... but to your first point... people are brainwashed into Think Green, and tend to not even consider alternatives. It's crazy. How many times have we all heard "but AMD drivers" or started comparing cards solely on the merit of their upscaler or inclusion of some proprietary...

Different culture over in Europe, I'm sure you guys have your own set of golden standards.. some overlap, but I'd be shocked if there was a lot. I mean... Eurovision exists, and so does RHOBH - very different.

Can say that about a lot of IPs though. There are a lot of great ideas out there, but the hard part is executing. Apparently WB Games makes more money off Lego than anything else. Which... oddly enough... is ~not~ one of the 4 pillars that WB Games announced they would be focusing on in the...

Guy has a point. I was just thinking earlier today (largely because I'm seeing the Dick Van Dyke birthday in the news)... there are always those classic movies that become part of the pop culture, and you see referenced all over the place. I can throw out dozens: Young Frankenstein Blues...

Thinking about this from another perspective. While I totally agree with the end result of what you are saying... the cause I think I disagree on. Or maybe not disagree, really... just needs more context. RTX was the leading indicator that nVidia was shifting direction as a company. They were...

Ooo good idea. Since it's Dec 13... I'm just naming one game. I want to finish Octopath Traveller 2. I'm only 60 hours in and still can't quite see the finish line though.

Wasn't Redstone like a windows 10 thing or something?

I.... do not disagree with this actually. I still can't believe the crowd that says "DLSS has better image quality than original". I mean, you are entitled to your opinion... you can think it looks better but... I think it's objectively wrong that a inferred or artificially generated facsimile...

Never heard of them, but I guess that isn't surprising in the US really. When I see the word TITANLOAD... it conjures something NSFW Joking aside... not putting a lot of stock in ~random chinese company~ solving the issues that plague these cables. China can make great stuff but isn't exactly...

Nothing to sneeze at sure ... but certainly not Pokemon or GTA numbers. I kinda think Netflix is right here - the gaming division doesn't really move the needle that much, when you are looking at $9B per quarter.
