Excuse yourself from this conversation.

This is just incorrect. Better textures or models (eg: larger on disk) will cut in to a substantial increase in throughput from media into memory, but at the numbers we’re looking at in the above video, it’s absolutely not going to eat all of it. Then you mention effects, which are not really a “thing”, they’re simply…

A good NVMe SSD can reach speeds of 3,500 MB/s over four lanes of PCIe 3.0. Current-gen consoles ship with 5400RPM hard drives that don’t spin fast enough to approach the limits of a 300 MB/s SATA 2 bus. So if PS5 and the next-gen Xbox models are using NVMe SSDs as rumored, an order of magnitude improvement in loading…

load times actually mater. A lot of game design currently is working around loading zones and texture pop in.  Eliminating that is actually quite interesting from a dev standpoint, and changes how levels and textures are designed. 

to not understand that GoT is politics.........child’s play

ahem ... finale was horseshit. Nothing but horseshit gift wrapped and with a bow. With all the shit Sansa, Arya, Jon, Dani, and others have been through in 8 seasons and D&D deliver this steaming festering pile of horseshit. Goddamn I hate them and I hate HBO.

Perhaps the true iron throne was the friends we made along way. 

I think blank leaderboards give a pretty clear indication that it's actually quite difficult. 

Ohh god the replies here are gonna suck ass.

You know what would REALLY help? If players showed some solidarity with the people who make the games they love and stopped playing League of Legends until Riot gets their act together. They’re sitting on disgusting amounts of eSports money that they’ve made off of their mistreated and exploited workers.

I know it seems fun to blaze through everything with broken weapons but in the same vein as that cringy twitter post about cheating yourself, it really is more fun to overcome a tougher obstacle with your friends than steamroll through it a hundred times.

Epic Store:

Oh, can it. One, people have finished Destiny’s raids with randoms. Two, believe it or not random people do actually use mics. Shocker! Three, having matchmaking doesn’t in any way prevent you from putting together a full squad of people you so know so why do you give a damn?

So basically Epic pulled some shady and manipulative trickery and didn’t tell people ahead of time, and then when companies said, “Hold up! We didn’t agree to this!”, Epic tried to paint it as those companies being unreasonable?

Maybe now the idiots clamoring for raid matchmaking will stop kidding themselves that it’s doable with mic-less randoms.

I’ve beaten all but one Destiny and Destiny 2 raid with complete strangers, and multiple with at least one or two members who didn’t have mics. The idea that you can’t beat raids with matchmaking is complete bullshit, as has been proven over and over with Destiny and Destiny 2.

Chicago seems like a good place to turn one over. He only beat Sanders-endorsed Marie Newman by a little over 2000 votes, 51-49 last time. Hope she (or someone else) runs again, I’d imagine the continuing momentum would carry them over him.

What’s the age limit on “wunderkind”? Kushner’s pushing 40, even if he still looks like he eats sandwiches with the crust cut off.

“Are you referring to your husband or your dad?”

I would like to remind the U.S. government that the 9/11 terrorists were mostly from Saudi Arabia.
