HL3 has been rumored to be on the way for longer than lots of people on the internet have been alive

Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence

Something something about showing connections between points in a circle… the chocolate starfish of life.

Dogshit dogeshit

That’s about what I paid for mine as well. Feels like I stole it for how it benchmarks. Last gen x3d is definitely overpriced in comparison.

I absolutely love my 9700x.

At the bone stock 65W TDP, it runs incredibly cool and is a nice performer. 105W TDP is now officially supported as well, which gives you even better performance and it still runs cooler than any major player from Team Blue.

At this point I’d rather have efficiency rather than push for those few extra frames with Intel and need hundreds of bucks more in cooling hardware and power draw.

I like the concept, but nothing except the folding screen is interesting here.

It’s true that this is one of the few places where folding the device actually may make some sense, given how long it is otherwise. But unless we’re talking about a folding Steam Deck or something very similar, the Samsung-ness of it all would make the end product very mediocre.

I tend to use food names, like tomato and sausage. But no potato, and definitely no apple.

I also utilize the special-use domain home.arpa for all my LAN systems, so accidental collisions are largely impossible.

No. Exclusives suck for everyone in the long run. In this case, it would also be pretty heavily set against the Linux / FOSS ethos, too.

Could totally be a negative change. Could be a positive. Only time will tell.

The fact that GTA V’s crowd system still stands out for feeling relatively “real” – a 12-year-old game – suggests to me that it’s more about design and execution than actually needing a lot of technological advancement.

Yes, there were big claims before and yes, everyone should be extremely cautious. Never preorder games. It will likely suck, and even then just from the general trend in AAA gaming.

BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they’re no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.

The value is getting you not to use competitors.

Free games are pure marketing. Don’t confuse it.

They can take them away at their whim.

Their sole purpose is to get you used to using Epic over other services.

If When

Yeah I considered one. Wish it had 16GB VRAM.

That’s fair. I’m on an all AMD system with no need to change, tbh. 7800XT.

Cyberpunk with RT off still looks damn good.

Personally, if it’s between RT off and giving my money to a company normalizing lying to me, I’ll stick with RT off.

Yeah, unfortunately you’re probably right. Brand image is also still good, somehow

Vote with your wallets. DLSS and Ray Tracing aren’t worth it to support this garbage.
