I'm a weirdo cuz I still use Quick Launch bar in Windows (and no I don't like pinning stuff to the taskbar, although for UWP apps this is unfortunately the only choice, aside from Start Menu). On Linux I don't even have program shortcuts anywhere, I open programs with keyboard shortcuts. As for...

Agreed.

It's like the races in FH5 where you had to race against stuff like jet-skis, a plane, a giant hovercraft (that might have been FH4, my memory is fuzzy), or even a f*cking train, among other things. When they decided to have FH6 take place in Japan, no doubt they were like "hey it's Japan so we...

FH5 was the one that had a lot of crazy spectacle races and special scenarios. I heard that aside from the mech race, FH6 didn't go as crazy with those races as FH5 did.

Same. One of my friends moved to NYC a few years ago, and before he rolled out he gave me some equipment: a HOTAS controller of some kind, and a VR headset with controllers. I have yet to test either device, or even ID make and model. Aside from him, no one I know owns a VR headset, so I've...

Every Rockstar game is like that. I hope that for GTA 6 they finally learned how to make some decent, responsive controls. But if I were a betting man, my money would not be on that. Be it with a controller or mouse and keyboard, Rockstar games have sluggish imprecise controls with slow input...

Same. EDIT: Although apparently I sent trailers to some friends in Feb. 2025 and August 2024. Trailers I apparently never watched myself.

Oh huh, I had heard it was an ARM processor right from the beginning. There's been some work lately about improving Steam on ARM, and people have been saying this work is being done mainly to benefit the Steam Frame.

To me $40 is a normal controller price. XBSX|S controller regularly go on sale for that price, as did the Xbox controllers from generations before. Nintendo were the first idiots to push standard controller pricing to $70 with the Switch Pro Controller (and cheapest I ever saw on sale was $60)...

One of my clients just got a 9070 XT below MSRP, and a week after that he showed me another deal for a 9070 XT that was below MSRP.

As someone who lives in the dark/low light, I turn the brightness down, not up. So displays like this are a waste to me. Why do I needed to be blinded by my screen? My previous monitor I think peaked out around 600 nits. I usually never had it more than around 80% brightness, maybe 85%. When an...

They need to bring back prosumer-level/HEDT Threadripper.

Yupz, that's how I roll too. In Linux the situation is different, cuz I'm on a rolling distro, and sometimes my GPU drivers get updated when my distro releases a big wave of package updates. It's still not very often, but those Linux GPU drivers get updated more often than the Windows ones.

6 weeks is a long time? I go for months without updating my GPU drivers. One of my clients (my friend's girlfriend's son who is in his 30s) just upgraded to that card in late 2024, so he's not moving on from it any dang time soon. Besides, he plays online shooters at 1080p with settings on low...

Sorry Sony. I've been using consoles since the 2nd-gen days, and I'm hoping this current 9th-generation is the first time I do NOT end up buying any consoles. I've been maining PCs since the 90s, and I shall continue to do so. Besides, even a PS5 Pro ain't got nothin' on my PC. D4mn straight.

Same. I went from 2700X to 5800X3D, so the difference was much more massive for me. My RTX 3090 was limited on the 2700X but not at all on the 5800X3D (I mostly game at 1440p, though I run plenty of games at 4K or even 5K). Yyyeeeaaahhh maaaaaan... The last time this happened to me, where I...

Yupz, that's 100% the truth. No one I know is in the market for a new motherboard. Most of my friends and clients are on some form of AM4, be it X570 or B550 or otherwise. The way the PC market is, they are gonna be on those machines for a good long time. Other people like a friend of mine and...

Star Fox 64 was a reboot of the series after that initial SNES game. Star Fox Assault and Command were unique games. I think they took place in the same universe as SF64, just later in the timeline, but I don't actually know for sure. Star Fox Zero was said to have been a reimagining of Star Fox...

Oh daaaang, nice!
