    Rockstar Announces Yet Another Delay for Grand Theft Auto VI Following Layoffs and Accusations of Union Busting

    I hope it's because they want to launch on PC at the same time. I got RDR2 for PC and realized it is the most boring open world game I have ever played. Didn't like how the story was going either. I don't get all the hype about it.

    Windows 11 Continues to Get More Bugs Following the Decomissioning of Windows 10

    The only logical explanation of how can a hotfix break a completely unrelated thing is if they are using AI to fix bugs.

    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    Good 1080p will look far better, because the low bitrate 4K will have compression artifacts like discoloration, dithering, or blockiness, which are far easier to notice than resolution. I don't think its worth paying for 4K streaming.

    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    If you have to pan your head you are sitting too close. But the alleged recommended distances were multiples of that. It might not have been exactly 10ft for 27" I was just giving a ballpark example, but it was ludicrous numbers. This is a far cry from the charts making the rounds in the DVD /...

    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    Even 480p vs 720p. As back in college one classmate was not understanding why do I want more than DVD quality. This was at a time when the first HD test broadcasts were just starting, and most people only had analogue cable or aerial TV. They are two separate things, resolution and image...

    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    Except individual pixels weren't really discernible on a CRT or a Projector screen. And the distances were ridiculous like 10 feet for a 27" and such.

    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    Yes they used FOV to justify it and it was / is nonsense. Think about it. What is the benefit of a bigger screen if you view it from a distance so it appears the same size as a smaller one?

    A New Study Shows That Most People Are Unable to Perceive the Difference of 8K on a Smaller Screen Unless They Are Extremely Close to It

    This reminds of the stupid misconception that was widespread in the 90s / 2000s. That if you buy a larger TV you must sit proportionally further away from it. Which ofc. would completely defeat the purpose of the larger screen. There were even charts for this nonsense, that said how many feet...

    EXODUS, a New Sci-Fi RPG from Ex-BioWare, 343, Electronic Arts, and Naughty Dog Developers, Gets New Screenshots and Development Updates

    Yeah that's the ticket to printing money. I'm tired of the cycle of mediocre and bad games that games journalists pretend are the best ever. That's a dichotomy. Unreal Engine is the bane of the gaming industry, an enemy of true progress and optimization. I'm more worried about it being woke...

    It’s Official Halo: Campaign Evolved Is Coming to PlayStation Following the New Remake Announcement

    It's really frustrating because AI could be a good tool when used right, but there seems to be only two prevailing opinions of it. One thinks it is the devil and hates it no matter what, the other thinks it's magic and can do anything at the click of a button.

    Microsoft Removes the Ability to Install Windows 11 via a Local Account; Online Accounts Are Now Required to Complete Setup

    Why loose one drive worth of data when you can loose it all in a RAID crash? :LOL: Yeah, I learned that the hard way, when I lost about 10 years from my collection of photos and videos due to a raid corruption.

    Halo: Combat Evolved Remaster in Development for Xbox and, Possibly, PS5: Report

    When I saw the title pop up in my feed: "Halo Campaign Evolved", I genuinely thought it was a new campaign driven game. Only to learn it's just another freaking remaster. I'm so tired of these lazy crash grabs. Make new single player games **** it.

    Anandtech Sails Off Into the Sunset

    Yeah "left" they were laid off, due to an ever dwindling readership. That's what 10 years of lecturing, gaslighting and attacking your own audience (and the industry) gets you. They literally bit the hand that was feeding them. And the only survivors are weasels like Jason Schreier or Paul...

    Windows 11 Continues to Get More Bugs Following the Decomissioning of Windows 10

    Writing code with AI is like having an enthusiastic intern high on drugs working for you. It will confidently tell you things that aren't true, use functions that never existed. But it's still helpful because it does the busy work, all you have to do is clean up its mistakes. But MS probably...

    EXODUS, a New Sci-Fi RPG from Ex-BioWare, 343, Electronic Arts, and Naughty Dog Developers, Gets New Screenshots and Development Updates

    I'm not sure about this one. Instead of reminding me of the best of Mass Effect / bioware it gives me outer worlds and andromeda vibes. I'm on wait and see approach about this, not writing it down completely but also not getting excited yet.

    Glen Schofield Gets Candid About the State of the Gaming Industry, Calls Out Elon Musk, and Wants to Make a Dead Space 4 Game

    My immediate thoughts: Who the heck is Glen Schofield, and what does Elon Musk have to do with the gaming industry?

    Windows 10 Officially Reaches End of Life After a Ten Year Run

    It's not even real, it only identifies as windows 11: After I installed Explorer Patcher in 0.00001ms the only notable difference is that it is more unstable than Win10. I hadn't had a hard lockup in ages, it happened twice already with this.

    Crysis Remastered Trilogy 65% off on GOG for $17.31

    Isn't this the one where the remasters made the game worse by being based on the console version instead of the PC version?

    ASUS Goes Retro with Its ProArt PA401, PA602 Wood Edition PC Cases Available in Select Beige or Retro Brown Colors

    The first one, the one they refer to as beige looks like an old central heating radiator salvaged from some dilapidated flooded building. The wood ones would look OK if it matches your furniture but the glass side panel kind of clashes with the wood finish. Can we not have just a solid side...
