I don’t really know the scope of an ASIC so please do correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t these computationally heavy processing units be repurposed for something like AI model processing (GPT-3 etc) or seti style data crunching? If so, still seems like it would have been better to either donate them to a local…

“How many computers do you think we should get for our crypto-mining operation??

“I dunno, a thousand?”

“That’s great. But what if we got a thousand. And then added another.....69?”

“Nice.”

Maybe the worst part about scalpers is that, if people could just think and control themselves for five seconds, we could end scalping. Don’t buy their shit, then they won’t sell it for ridiculous prices. God damn.

I can’t understand how someone is willing to spend up to 2500 USD for a handheld device which may not even get future support considering Valve history with gaming hardware.

If you’re that desperate that you’d actually pay that kind of $$, I’m reminded of the old adage, “A fool and his money are soon parted.”

Listen, I get not wanting to take a loss on hardware, especially when every other attempt (barring the Index, maybe) has failed miserably.

That said, Valve has spent the last 20 years making BILLIONS off the backs of other devs/publishers, and has done absolutely fuck all because of it. They make hundreds of millions a…

You might laugh, but remember what happened to Ben back in the Majora’s Mask days? Ben drowned

Personally I hope they throw the book at him. My brother died of modified zelda save files. 

It doesn’t need 4k but when even first party games can’t even do 1080p 30fps, maybe a little boost just to get stable framerate would have been really appreciated.

I’m still sour that a remaster of a Wii game (not WiiU, a Wii game) is still only 720p docked with an unstable framerate. (yes I’m talking about Xenoblade…

Remember always what our Lord told his flock: “Follow me.” And he went on to say, “Set me free. Trust me and we will escape from the city.”

The Sonic porn fandom be like:

Ya know, I’ve always been annoyed at the weird fetish part of the Sonic fanbase infecting platforms, but this is hilarious. It's like this is its moment to shine

If anything the Pokemon company is one of the rare good guys in the TCG world. If something gets popular, if a card becomes a staple, if a card’s after market value starts going insane they reprint that shit, and reprint it, and reprint it some more. They want people to PLAY their game without breaking the bank.

Brian’s article appears to just be regurgitating statements of fact, so I’m not sure what part you think is reaching?

I have two of these at my mom’s from way back when. Not sure of the editions, but it would probably be a good idea to get them rated 

Wait, wait, wait.

It’s also has always been a downward slide for digital advertising. I remember being on the internet before pop-up blockers (yet alone ad blockers) were common place. Time and again, advertisers have proved that if you give them an inch, they will take a mile, complaints will surface and then they back track to just…

I totally think you’re exaggerating and

I was at the goddamned gas station which now insists on showing me ads at the pump without any sort of discount for doing so, and their tech update was no joke a cheery “Facebook soon to start ads on Oculus, so look forward to that!” and I died from the blast radius of the recursive irony.

For those of you who love ads in your paid games, fret not! More tests like this will be coming to other games and, for the lucky few who don’t actually get news coverage for doing so, the ads won’t be revoked! The normalization of advertisements in video games may still be something you’re only used to in EA and…
