I’ve started to appreciate/miss physical copies more and more.

I have a facebook guy who was a Bernie guy who now posts 60% anti-hillary, 40% anti-trump. And posts “why I won’t vote for Hillary” memes weekly.

Why do we need microfilm? Just place a gigantic mirror 30 light years away and point a telescope at it. You can just watch that shit happen.

“Ruth? That’s kind of an old lady name, isn’t it, but I guess it works for you”

Q: Who ya gonna call?

IS the first rule of ghostbusting “no kissing; too personal.”

There’s something psychological to it. Essentially we’re reading the dialog, and the actual vocal performance can only help guide us with tone/emotion. We’re using our imaginations to some extent, same as if we’re reading a book. It’s like our minds go into a different mode, and it seems like that mode is incompatible…

People don’t dig Hillary. For most she’s a “hold your nose while voting” type at best.

I remember wasting $20 or whatever it was on Fable Anniversary. I really enjoyed that game on classic XBox. The new version was un unoptimized, low frame-rate mess!

Thanks for clarifying what you didn’t like about the shooting. I gave up after about 6 hours of gameplay. I didn’t really analyze it at the time, but this post nailed exactly why it stopped being fun for me as well.

I totally see what you’re saying, and I kind of agree, but it sounds like this to me: “I love my girlfriend, except for her personality.”

Ah yes, the old “Bethesda’s game engine is old and bad” post. Hard to reconcile all these posts with the fact that Skyrim is one of, if not the, most played single-player games of all time, in terms of player-hours. It’s crazy how many millions of gamers wasted dozens and hundreds of hours in a “tragically bad” engine.

I read somewhere that the lead engineer at WB lost an eye while trying to force a CPU into the wrong pinout. He’s had it in for PC ever since.

4k is mostly a marketing gimmick for console gaming right now.

All I know is that my card is about 5 with my PC, and I get 60fps at 3440x1440 on my many current-gen games with high or ultra settings. Including notoriously unoptomized Fallout 4.

I strongly doubt it will be that much. It’s one thing for losers like us to buy cards on Amazon; it’s another thing for MS to place an order for millions of custom chips. I’d guess $400. $500 at the upper end (with some must have software to sweeten the deal).

4K screens are still a terrible waste of money and that doesn’t seem like its going to vastly change over the next year.

Exactly. If your recent flagship console gets owned by a $500 laptop, it might time to go back to the drawing board.

You can already see 4K sets taking over retail shelf space. I imagine that in 18 months, they’ll dominate new purchases.
