The motion blur is making me unreasonably angry.

Any failures yet?

I bought the Quest last decade when it was still Oculus. The wife won the Quest 2 in a contest. Meta sucks BTW. The OG I sweat in, as VR workouts are fun. Beat Sabre is one of my favorites. Quest 2 electric boogaloo I use for watching media mostly, because it has better lens, without the screen...

That's the kind of stuff where I go But I don't care about it for my use case. Gaming will take ages to leverage it.

Thank you for that perspective. Being in the U.S. I sometimes forget the struggle has been real for other regions where pop culture is concerned. I enjoy all sorts of games and art styles. And photorealism has the potential to inflict or trigger real PTSD for some people. I don't think I need...

ASRock has taken reputation damage over the AM5 issues. I commented weeks ago that there was not a single ASRock board in the top 20 on Amazon at the time. For Asus, it is having infamously bad customer service.

I will play Devil's advocate here. There was a giant downside; Obsolescence happen far too fast. We didn't call it the bleeding edge for nothing. ;) In just a few years you needed a new vid card to run the latest blockbuster games on the newest DX version. Tech like Glide far too quickly went...

For sale and trade forums are the meta on a tight budget. You will always have fairly modern parts on the cheap to build and upgrade with. Selling your old parts defrays a little of the cost as well. Message boards like this are populated mostly by older financially established white collar...

We will be in the 2030s before DIY gets access, and begins to adopt it in any real numbers.

Interesting take on it. I had not considered it from a solely PR/marketing angle. AMD cited the telemetry from the Adrenalin app when discussing the real possibility of manufacturing some SKUs again. It is a straight forward use of the data collected anonymously. It makes your idea that the...

Agreed. Steam is a huge platform, no doubt. It does seem highly likely the polls are mostly limited to/pertain to non Asian gamers. However, LTT has almost 17M subs on their main channel alone. And both polls had far beyond the number of responses necessary for accuracy. The results reflect...

MSI? If so, it would track with why they bailed on radeon. LTT had tens of thousands more responses than the TPU poll, same roughly 1 in 3 users.

Valve already has the telemetry. They already have the same basic system specs telemetry e.g. AMD collects it via radeon software. It is all they need to sample. It contains OS, gpu, cpu, amount of ram. I have all 3 vendors cards, your anecdote is faulty.

Every poll I have ever seen puts AMD graphics at about 1 in 3 users https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/which-generation-is-your-graphics-card.308104/ Some also suspect the iGPU is being counted on many AM5 systems instead of the dGPU. Considering how broken the survey has proven time...

You have 10Gbps, buy a USB-C hub. Of note: I discovered the latency issues I've told you about with my Xbox BT controller, do not seem to be present on Linux. Neither Holo.iso nor Bazzite played well with it, literally, connection issues out the butt. With Cachy it is the best it has ever been.

In Spider-Man 2 using quality mode, CNN vs TM at 1080, the difference in image stability/quality was easily observable.

I like that heroic launcher manages all my launchers aside from Steam on CachyOS. Makes it less annoying. I have never finished it either despite over 70hrs played. I keep restarting then get side tracked. The traditional combat system feels so stale to me as well. It's why I am doing a crazy...

If they do it right, their track record says they won't, it'll be a hit. Mills and older zoomers grew up on Halo, it gives them warm feels. They will jump on board with a Halo based game that is not just nostalgia bait, doesn't crap on the Master chief's legacy, and is fun to play with friends.

A few comments that add more flavor. What I am calling the D2 effect, happening on Amazon U.S. the largest online retailer here. It may be niche but it is already in the top 10 sellers. The D2 effect has propelled the 270K into the top 10 for the first time simply due to the D2 effect compare...
