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!

I went from a GTX 970 to a GTX 1080 Ti, and good gawd that was something. I only paid like $430 for the thing too (got it brand-new from a dude on [H]). My 1080 Ti is still in use in my secondary desktop. It's an EVGA unit, like all my nVidia cards, except my current card, and my first nVidia...

I've seen quite a few desk-as-PCs online over the last couple decades or so, and I always kinda wanted one, but I don't actually want one. Way too expensive, and not exactly very portable, but man they always look f*cking nice. Especially the ones with watercooling going on. This one here is the...

The 3DS remake of Star Fox 64 was good, but sure, I'll take another. Not that I have a Switch 2. But after how Star Fox Zero turned out, the IP needs a win, even if it's rehashing an old game with a shiny coat of paint (for the 2nd time). I was just thinking to myself recently that Star Fox...

This controller is not a graphics card, and it is not something that is affected by the DRAM or NAND shortage. So I don't see Valve having issues making and selling more. So yeah, I hope the scalpers eat a bag of dicks.

And this usual attitude of treating PC gamers as 2nd-class citizens is why most people I know do NOT pay for GTA games on PC. They grab community demos. Besides, when it does eventually show up on PC, they're gonna charge way too much money for it anyways (given its age by then). And who knows...

I'd rather they ask than just do sh1t without my permission or knowledge. This is fine if it is opt-out by default, and the user has to manually opt-in. I dunno if I want them doing all that. I like the current system cuz they ask first, and then the hardware scan happens.

This time I got asked to participate in the survey two days in a row. Yesterday when I was in Linux, and today in Win10. Usually I only get asked once maybe a couple/few times a year, if that.

Turtle Beach has gone off the deep end. We are faaaaaaaar removed from the company that made quality PC audio equipment way back in the day.

I downloaded music on dial-up but I never played games on it. I waited until I went to college and had access to their T1 line. First game I ever played online was Unreal Tournament 1. Got my @ss handed to me, and it was those college years that taught me that I'm an offline against-the-bots...

Metro Exodus with both expansions included is $6 on GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/metro_exodus_gold_edition That's about what I paid for my Steam copy in 2023.
