Eh, as a “PC gamer” for quite awhile (built my first one in 2011, played prebuilt/Mac/Bootcamp before that), I don’t really care about 60+fps or 4k, either. But that’s because I can’t be bothered to pay the absurd amounts that the “big” GPUs cost. My latest one (6650xt) cost $250, and even that felt a bit painful (my…

This is exactly what some of us have said about the situation only to be told that we’re wrong and MS wouldn’t waste money on out-cashing Sony. Well, it seems like they sure did f’ing consider it.

“We wanted to buy Nintendo but they weren’t done laughing from the last time we tried….”

For decades, he has offered “Dollar Babies,” stories available for adaptation for only a dollar. This is not new.

This shit isn’t funny anymore. We down here on the ground are still dealing with the fucking trump fallout.

Or not, let’s go with not

If a game isn’t something that prioritizes twitch aiming, fast action, and rapid camera motions isn’t “better visual fidelity” preferable to “higher frame rate”.

People are only “forced” to get a hybrid if they want something off-the-lot. They are free to place a special order and wait for a different model (which is basically how it has been for the past 3 years anyway).

Yeah, this is a fun reversal of when Musk found out his factory bumfuck Texas wasn’t going to work. It turns there’s a pretty direct correlation between all the things people want to have in a place they live... and people actually wanting to live there.

Yes! This why my favorite forum of all time went away. I’ve spent a day on a weekend to try to get it back up and running again based on an old DB backup, but it’s A LOT of work to find and download all the PHPbb versions from 10+ years ago and apply updates in series. Even just getting it to load into a modern DB…

Running popular forums costs real money, and it takes real time to maintain and moderate. It’s easy to gloss it over as “people are so greedy”, but thousands of bucks a year in hosting costs have to come from somewhere. 

The FTC has no authority to actually block mergers. They have to convince the federal court to block it. CMA does have the authority to block it in the sense that they can prohibit MS and Activision from operating in the U.K. If MS and Activision do go ahead with the merger, I’m not sure how they plan to deal with the…

As easy as it might be to just call these guys stupid, it’s important to remember that they aren’t. And I don’t mean that they’re *smart* I mean that they are fully aware of what they’re saying: They know they are openly accusing gay/trans people of being “groomers”, and they don’t care. They know what they’re saying…

Damn it sure is expensive being poor. 

It was fun waiting for the moment in every presenters segment where they used the word “magical”...every sentence in Apple’s presentation was just enjoyable ultra-polished marketing bullshit from start to finish, trying to avoid the big question: “But *why* would I want to work with my apps in AR? Where is the added…

The tech for 3-D photos has been around for over a decade and yet no one cares.

What’s amazing about VR and what’s limiting about VR are both things you can see almost immediately after purchasing a headset. I think my Quest 2 is pretty cool. Beat Saber is fun, and hooking it up to my PC to play Half Life Alyx was rad. But I treat that thing like a board game. It sits in a closet and gets played…

This nails every single feature anyone would want... from the decade plus ago when it was first rumored, and it does it a decade plus after pretty much any relatively hard core VR-interested person has gotten the chance to be exposed to commercial VR in a way that highlights the vast expanse between what people…

That’s a hard no. Apple is always walled garden and those walls don’t even have gates normally. especially since it says it will support most ios apps which means likely same ecosystem.

Interestingly, I knew I was trans/ nonbinary since I was a kid, and before I even knew those such words existed.
Hiding these terms from kids isn’t gonna not make them trans/ gay/ etc, it’s just gonna make the kids that are these things feel incomplete. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
