At least once a week a see a story that confirms I bailed on Microslop at the right time. I was an Amiga user forced to IBM compatible to play games. That wound will never heal. 💀 The GN vid with Wendell about peak microslop last week was another zinger.

I have only seen game play. The enemy AI seemed so broken I never gave it another thought. Going to be interesting to see how many will buy this new BF version.

It will be 16 for minimum, may be recommended, by release. They doom the game before it even gets going by alienating so many potential players. The 64GB did its job i.e. make us aware this game even exists. ;) Seriously, this is a marketing strategy now; release shocking hardware requirements...

Has to be old placeholders from before DRAM and NAND insanity. It's UE5 and none of the graphics in their videos are as good as Black Myth Wukong. By launch 16GB will be fine. They have not given a date for early access or anything, so plenty of time to optimize?

I think I'll grab it for that price. As I have mentioned before; This one surprised me. Free from Epic. Never played MTG or anything like that. Found having cards and learning to play them the best way, combined with being able to use the environment, is a good time. Looks and plays great. A...

And so many of us have 32GB or more already, bought when it was dirt cheap.

Shot straight to the top spot and somewhat radically shook up the top 8 positions. I can't remember the 9800X3D falling below 2. 4 5000 CPUs in the top 6 spots, over half way through 2026 is beyond remarkable.

Made me laugh. But honestly I do not think you did. 4090 and 5090 hold value or increase over time. Next gen is delayed. It was a good investment. All of the ones you noted. Any game with path tracing and some others with lumen and such at 4K are a good candidate. Not all may be RPG. Black Myth...

Not going to happen. Here is the manifesto. Avoid oversupplying the market. Expand production only when profitable demand exists. Don't repeat previous boom-and-bust cycles. Use long-term contracts instead of speculative production. Just in time manufacturing and post human malware demand...

Getting that time is a flat circle feeling. And add me to the - you only earn my money if it is on PC, list.

I've read good things about Zorin. Never heard of Regata.

I used it before moving to CachyOS. I never could get it to consistently work with my BT XBOX controller. A few other things about using an immutable that were annoying over time.

I would not buy one, but I know people IRL it is ideal for. They need to get FSR4 dialed in. Lots of other QoL and optimization that should happen over time. It has good potential. The footprint, HDMI-CEC, 4 steam controller support, and steam frame integration are, or will be, value added. I...

internet speeds play a roll. Deleting to make room for a new download is trivial for people with fast connections. I see some guys in the U.K. say they have to start the downloads before going to bed. Something I have not had to do in 20 years or more.

Exactly. Just used the damned telemetry they get as part of the TOS. While they are at it, they can break it down by regions. For example; I may be confidently incorrect, but I expect Nvidia is far more dominant in Asia than the Americas and Europe. The idea that it is a PR tool makes a lot of...

Textures and meshes take up a lot of space. Be careful what you ask for too. Neural texture compression might end up being a mixed bag or worse, for who knows how long. Helldivers 2 used deduplication to significantly reduce install size on the PC port. I wonder if that is doable with some of...

I agree. They have never fully recovered from the anti consumer crap they tried to pull with the XBONE. If they were banking on gamers having short memories, they goofed but good. The terrible job they have done managing Gears and Halo, the anchors of the ecosystem, should be crimes. The new...

Exactly. And we have no idea if it is remotely accurate. What we do know is AMD has reported strong sales YOY the last EDIT: 3 Qs. From Q4 last year And Q1 My contention is; The Steam survey is too often a case of bad data is worse than no data. The old truism about lies, damned lies, and...

We are witnessing a radical shift away from big corpos in media. Star Wars movie with baby Yoda is tanking. He-Man is a massive flop. Supergirl is projected to crash and burn. Word has it, test screenings were so bad they cut 30 minutes from it and added more Superman. The most profitable movies...

I concede the point. Now, lets get back to the conversations concerning the fact the survey once again has proven to be broken. And this is only the latest incident proving it.
