Oof. Yeah, that shit’s grim. I’m lucky I managed to secure a 2080 FE when building my machine—as well as a dedicated streaming rig—in February 2019, just before this shit really started...but it’s already showing its age in VR games, and with all the much higher resolution headsets hitting the market... Yeah. 😬

😏

I definitely second Etsy. I mean holy shit, these prices... My mother could make one of these if she put her mind to it. (I’d have to do the RGB lights though.) And it sure as hell wouldn’t cost SEVEN FUCKIN’ GRAND, and still LOOK LIKE CRAP.

ngl, I admire the hustle. 😏 But for fuck’s sake, at least I have an S-Corp and legitimately do use my computer for business purposes... 🤦‍♂️

I swear, I should have applied for one of these and used it to build a new computer. (How else does one afford a goddamn GPU these days?!)

That’s news to me.  If true I’d certainly like to know. 🤔

For people who don’t agree with giving in to the constant whining of philistines.

The ‘extended version’ (Which is not a director’s cut, btw...the director literally had his name struck from that version of the film.) is bad. Like, bad-bad. It’s interesting solely for its prologue which should honestly be a DVD extra on the ‘real’ version, because it provides historical exposition the movie never…

Just play iRacing? 🤷‍♂️

My primary character in ACNH has over 380,000 Nook miles and I haven’t played since the beginning of August... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like he’s just underutilized; The MCU writers very seldom write Hawkeye as anything more than furniture, but the potential has always been there, in both the character and Renner, to be the Hawkeye from the Matt Fraction series. 🤔

I picked riichi mahjong back up after years because of Akagi...and I bought my first set of real tiles. (A beautiful vintage set of Nintendo tiles that I got used.) I’m such a fuckin’ nerd that the first thing I did when they arrived was stack some up to see if I could do that one-finger tile flip from the Akagi…

I can certainly understand the reasoning... Look at it this way; for this to happen, the guy behind the wheel was either so inexperienced/bad at driving that the vehicle simply got away from him as others have suggested in the comments—some combination of the Tesla’s instant acceleration, panic, and the bad road—or he…

Anybody who doesn’t like our friendly neighborhood Hawkguy clearly hasn’t read Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye series. It’s goddamn exquisite. It’s got a lotta heart, not to mention humor, action, drama... It’s just damned awesome! And Kate Bishop is damned awesome, too! I really hope the show does both characters justice.

Kotaku, we may not always see eye to eye on things, but in years of Fine Art, you have yet to introduce me to an artist I didn’t immediately follow. 😌

While I understand the need for these measures at the time—namely the need to prevent automatic response to reports for non-gaming activity prior to non-gaming categories being a thing—the fact that all ‘verified’ or at minimum affiliate Twitch streamers don’t receive the same benefit of the doubt these days is just…

Indeed. And no matter how good the voice acting is, they’re still invariably working from diminished material; there’s just so much nuance lost when you try to fit another spoken language in the place of Japanese...and that’s even assuming it’s a good-faith translation in the first place, and not dumbed-down or…

Seconded. Jerry’s writing style—and really just his whole thing—resonates with me as someone also afflicted with the same obvious derangement of the mind. 😏 Regardless of what he’s talking about, he constructs these overwrought monuments to language. But when the subject matter is of sufficient import and his cause…

Minecraft falls within a very dangerous category of activities wherein one can be creative and feel productive while accomplishing zero actual productivity. 😬

How do you get Kaiji—which I was surprised to see, and literally only clicked on your gods-damned slideshow to ensure it was included—but forget Battle Royale? I’m not even sure why you included Gantz at all; the thematic links are tenuous at best. I mean, sure, thematically Battle Royale certainly isn’t as good a…
