    Sid Meier’s Civilization VII Unveils PC Requirements Ahead of February 2025 Release

    LOL I didn't think Civ 5 even used that many threads. The end game on big maps gets brutal between turns. I still play Civ 5 with the Vox Populi mod. If you haven't tried it you really should. It changes/fixes SO many things. I have buyer's remorse for Beyond Earth and Civ 6..... I bought...

    Most Gamers Prefer Single-Player Games, New Research Reveals

    Now I can't even scrape up an hour or 2 with my friends online with voice chat. We figure if we have a couple hours to kill we'd rather meet in person and go drinking etc

    Most Gamers Prefer Single-Player Games, New Research Reveals

    Yeah my buddy and his roommate hosted every now and then like 20 years ago. We would always pop the breakers during heated fragging.... we each started bringing super long yardwork extension cords to plug into outlets in different parts of the house to spread the load out. Power and ethernet...

    “Disaster”: Star Wars Outlaws Has Only Sold 1 Million Copies Worldwide, It’s Claimed

    I read a new patch is out that fixes tons of stuff like stealth, speeders, etc. Maybe I'll wait a year until it gets under $30 and all patched up

    Most Gamers Prefer Single-Player Games, New Research Reveals

    I have such buyer's remorse for Helldivers 2. That game REALLY needs a good single player campaign, it could have been awesome based on the boot camp training. But no here's a really cool looking game, now go play with a bunch of randos who also have no idea what they are doing.

    ASRock X870E Taichi Motherboard Review

    nice review! A bit pricey for my tastes but prices and cheaper models will trickle down eventually I'm sure. I can wait, I don't need to be on the bleeding edge

    “Disaster”: Star Wars Outlaws Has Only Sold 1 Million Copies Worldwide, It’s Claimed

    suck it, Ubisoft. You cannot reskin AssCreed / FarCry eternally. Sadly if this game had come out 20+ years ago it might have been regarded a masterpiece. Now it's just a more of the same open world BS game with a SW flavor.

    Microsoft Officially Retires WordPad After 28 Years

    My dad uses it just for simple word proc stuff that he shouldn't have to buy Office for.

    The Sound Blaster GS5 Is a 60W Soundbar with Full-Range Racetrack Drivers, Adjustable RGB, and a Built-In Port Tube for Optimal Bass

    So I guess Creative had to pivot to something since people aren't buying Sound Blasters any more :) But do I really need RGB disco lights coming out of my soundbar? ehhhh

    I think there is room for both. But I would say I'm 85% single player. Maybe 90%

    Xbox “Redefining Gaming” with Series X|S Lifetime Sales at 28.3 Million and PlayStation 5 at 61.7 Million: Report

    Those 360 numbers have to be skewed since so many people bought more than one to replace broken ones. I know I bought 2 but one of those got replaced twice, so I actually have been through 4. Finally got a winner with the last one, a Jasper. Oh I forgot I got "gifted" a broken one that MS...

    PS5 Pro May Cost $650 in the U.S., Analysts Say as They Predict No Price Cut for the Base Model

    The 4K ones I have seen look pretty good, but this discs can be better. All depends on the quality. Mostly with the discs you get all the HDR flavors and better sound quality, plus all the extras etc but most movies don't take too much advantage of those any more.

    PS5 Pro May Cost $650 in the U.S., Analysts Say as They Predict No Price Cut for the Base Model

    Considering my PS5 collects dust and mostly only use if as a 4k UHD player, Sony can f*ck right off with this BS. I would consider selling the thing, but then I'd have to go buy a 4K player so what's the point, although it would be nice to have a REAL remote control.... the PS5 media remote is...

    Star Wars Outlaws Launch Sales Are 55% Lower than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: UK Retail Sales Data

    GTA Star Wars with no Jedi? Hmmm. But with few exceptions I tend to hate open world games. Ghosts of Tsushima being a rare exception.

    Anandtech Sails Off Into the Sunset

    I guess everyone just wants YT videos now? I like Gamer's Nexus / Steve as much as the next guy. But I prefer written articles, which of course requires more work. I honestly haven't been to Anandtech's site in a long while but back in the day it was required reading.
