Because a PC can make me money and do other things when I’m not gaming ..... And more and more people have both a game console and a PC and it’s nice to pick and choose which one you can play on now that cross saves are a reality .... But the main reason I have a PC rather than a console is I love to mod games .....

What is getting lost is it’s no longer PC vs console, it is Xbox AND PC vs PS5 ..... Microsoft has effectively doubled their market share by including the PC into the Xbox ecosystem ..... This increased number of sales means they can keep the cost of their games down to the consumer plus offer better services like

Currently the debate isn’t console versus PC ..... It Xbox AND PC vs the PS5 .... The Series X and the PC are now one and the same market/ecosystem and Sony is losing out by keeping their ecosystem closed to just the PS5 which is why they have to charge a $10 “Sony Tax” on new games because the sales volume isn’t

I was doing it back when TVs were still CRTs ..... I’ve had an HTPC since the mid 90's and even my computers have had a HDTV tuner since 2006 so I can watch a ball game while I’m working ..... Even on my TV all my movies are fed to a Fire TV box running Kodi and stored on a Network accessible hard drive so I can watch

Well because my PC makes me money when I’m not playing games .... Sure it costs 4 times as much but I made that money back the first month after I built it .... I also need an RTX graphics card for work for it’s AI capabilities and other advanced math/modeling applications so it’s a business expense I can write off on

That might have been true a couple years ago but for the last year the PC is the fastest growing segment of the Gaming Market .... A lot of people need a decent PC for working at home so the cost of Gaming ends up being the cost of a better graphics card .... The market is distorted because of shortages but that is

The PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn with Mods is twice the game it was on the PS4 ...... Ditto for RDR 2 ..... Pretty much every game I have has Mods that either improve the visuals, the performance or the gameplay itself and often all 3 .... My version of Witcher 3 looks as good and often better than anything else

Exclusives are no longer a viable Business Model anymore .... Most people don’t have a “I need to feel like an member of an Elite Exclusive Club where no one else can play my games unless they buy my system” .....

That is pretty much how it works, what you call gas pumps are actually dispensers and the pump is located below ground next to the storage tanks. So if you have 3 tanks, say Regular Ethanol and Premium you have one pump for each tank and multiple dispensers and you basically choose with valve will open to allow which

I didn’t get $600 and I won’t get $1400 either because I make too much. However I still think it is a good idea and will help to stimulate the Economy at least enough to buy some time until the majority are vaccinated and it’s safe to put everyone back to work.  

What is wrong with being a Centrist? That is by definition where the Majority is and this is after all a Democracy where the majority rules as long as they act within Constitutional bounds ......

Fridge, pronounced /FRIJ/, is the shortened form of refrigerator that started appearing in print in the early 20th century. The word was likely spoken long before it appeared in writing. To make clear the proper pronunciation of the word, printers added the d to mirror other words with similar soft g’s, such as bridg

A little education for the author of this opinion piece .....

November? Try June 2020 the House passed a stimulus bill almost as big and Moscow Mitch sat on it until the day he lost his position as Senate Majority Leader to Chuck Schumer ... Since we now have a new Congressional Session it means they have to start from scratch all over again and that takes time especially for a

They probably never will because DLSS relies on Tensor cores which don’t exist in non-RTX cards ..... You could try to make it work but it’s going to end up being slower than native 4k just like trying to do Ray Tracing on a 10 series card

It wouldn’t be so bad if Ubisoft Connect wasn’t such a steaming pile of garbage that needs to be canned and rewritten from the ground up ..... It is the cause of 90% of the bugs in Valhalla and I refuse to even play it until it’s fixed ....

Now playing

The way they do it stock is much better especially for ranged weapons because you don’t have to constantly take you right thumb off your aim/camera joystick ..... Same is true for melee combat, being able to control the camera/aim means you don’t have to rely on a locking mechanism and makes for much more fluid melee

It looks like they still have a ways to go to make this work well but they will probably get there

Depth of Field and Film Grain are really kind of dumb when you think about it because both simulate 75 year old technology and degrade the actual graphics and then to add insult to injury they lower your framerate to boot .... I didn’t pay $500 for a graphics card just to intentionally blur 3/4 of the screen so it
