    Well, it sounds good! I think the use of sliders to change specific elements of the difficulty is super cool. Looking forward to this!

    Is my hardware dying?

    Interestingly, I haven't had this problem since. I wonder if there was a solar flare or something that caused my hardware to temporarily freak out...

    Is my hardware dying?

    Hello all, Very strange experience on this New Year's Eve. Today I was playing Deadlock and suddenly my game froze. Video was still displayed on the screen, but all my peripherals were out. Hadn't seen my game crash like this before, but decided to force power down, power back on (after about 10...

    Honestly surprised they could find someone to manufacture them

    AMD Says It Will No Longer Go after the Flagship Gaming GPU Market as NVIDIA Continues to Dominate with 88% Market Share

    Part of AMD's problem in market share IMO is they have never made the connection between their console GPUs and desktop GPUs. There are tens of millions of people that play games on AMD GPUs every minute of the day and are have a great experience. The only difference is they're playing on an...

    AMD Says It Will No Longer Go after the Flagship Gaming GPU Market as NVIDIA Continues to Dominate with 88% Market Share

    Given they're still going to manufacture high-end parts for AI, to me this is clearly just putting their production capacity where it will make the most money. Wouldn't be surprised to see Nvidia follow.

    Mechanical Keyboard Recommendations

    I purchased a Ducky mechanical keyboard at Microcenter in 2017 and over about the last 5 years the LED backlights have started to go out in various keys. While the keyboard itself is fine, there's enough keys that no longer have a backlight that I'm considering replacing it. Should I get...

    Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 Announced for 4K Blu-ray as Kevin Costner’s Western Flops at Theaters, Sequel Pulled from Release

    I saw the film in theaters last week and I enjoyed it. Though, there is a lot of sub stories happening and none of them really has any type of conclusion, I was intrigued enough to want to see the second chapter.

    PlayStation’s Lead Designer Is “Very Surprised” by the Popularity of Ray Tracing and How Gamers Prefer Higher Frame Rates

    I think this used to be relatively true when everyone was on an LCD that tapped out at 60hz. Now, if you're on a 144hz monitor, there is absolutely a difference in smoothness between 60fps and 140fps.

    Next DOOM Game May Be Announced at Xbox Games Showcase, ZeniMax Filing Suggests

    I played both games but have never really understood comments like these about Doom Eternal. It seemed to me that Doom Eternal simply expanded on everything that Doom 2016 was about. It was meant to be played even faster with more enemies than 2016 had... and while there were some platforming...

    What's the best way to use Windows only for gaming?

    I've been using Linux (POP_OS) for about the last ~6 months or so to do mostly development work and browse the web. I really like the UI and the user experience thus far has been really nice. Currently I have dual boot and go into Windows currently right now if I want to game or if there's...

    Microsoft Launches Vapor Xbox Wireless Controller Collection with Six Dynamic Patterns

    From the thumbnail I thought they were the translucent controllers of yesteryear.

    Internet Plans Lower than 1 Gbps Are Obsolete, Says Florida-Based Fiber Provider

    With so much bandwidth, why can't we get a higher bit-rate for our streaming services? Seems to be a total waste..

    Ducky Unveils Origin Series Full-Sized Keyboards That Blend Classic and Modern Design for the Most Authentic Typing Experience

    Not Ducky, but I have a very similar one from Leopold (via mechanicalkeyboards.com) and I love it!

    Need help for a small PC build

    Hi My wife and I were talking about Hogwarts Legacy last night when she said (to my astonishment), "maybe you should build me a gaming computer". Wow. Okay. Absolutely! She likes the idea of having the computer in our living room, tucked away in our entertainment console. This necessitates the...

    John Carmack Resigns from Meta and Cites Lack of Efficiency within the Company as the Main Reason for Departure

    John Carmack, very smart guy. But like most engineers, it wouldn't surprise me if he was exceptionally bad at playing office politics. It's not necessarily that he couldn't move faster at a place like Meta, it's likely that he just didn't know how to change his operating behavior, and sell-in to...

    FSP Supplementary Power Supply Unit

    Does this have any use to anyone? I believe I won it at Quakecon 2006, but never took it out of the box.

    The World’s First Flying Bike Makes Its Debut at the North American International Auto Show

    It's cool, but I don't see many practical benefits of it over a normal road vehicle. Just an annoying sound.
