The GPU peices have risen before crypto.
Not as much but it was only a matter of time.

More like 3 years until the market demand is satisfied and the prices can normalize.
Remember, foundries mentioned they were booked well beyond 2026.

Complaining about Valve bootlickers while being an Epic bootlicker :D

FYI: Games like Ready or not have started the early access outside of Steam.
So if you advertise your game properly, you can make it as well. Just need to work on your discoverability.
But Steam makes it way easier.
So either go with Steam, Epic, GOG, Itch.io or any other store.
No need to fixate on only steam

Afaik it does if it resyncs. Just takes a while to update

I considering save scumming only when I try to do something fatal (e.g. jumo from cliff, box/ignore social space of a random cop on the street).
But I’d honor a game story decision if I made it myself and not save scum.

I don’t like to fail a quest/mission.
It feels like I closed a plot path and am now missing out on content.

I’d accept if the game would allow me to retry it after a reasonable in game time has passed.

I’d also like to see a more permanent impression on the in game world e.g.
If I drop a big bomb and it creates a crater, it shouldnt just reset the area after 10min
If I go on a mass killing spree and NPCs just respawn after going a bit away and back (and passed time in-game amounts to just 1h).
Same for cops in the area to be more vigilant than before if I escaped the hunt (and not just switching from “WHERE ARE YOU?! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU” to “Huh. Must have been the wind” after I had murdered 40 NPCs in cold blood)

You are more or less preaching to the choir

Meanwhile CDPR publishes DLC content hosted on a website instead providing a download link to a PDF…

Imo: Loud minority

Not comparable.

“Will”

lol

Can’t be me lol.

Oh sure.
But they better not merge those two so we can have at least a bit of quality before they fully went to shit.

Better not Paramount.
You should see what they did to the Halo show.
Quite hard to fuck that world up as there are so much possibilities. Instead they went for reskinned halo-aesthetic generic sci-fi action show.

I could see myself running a MacMini M anything.

But my issues with Apple:

• I don’t like their philosophy in hardware
• I don’t like needing to bow to their design/handling of any setting (e.g. accepting that the color of a menu can only be X but not Y)
• The hardware can never be upgraded.

At work I would only mildly care. But home pc? Nope.

Yesnt.
Existing owners, can upgrade their license at a cheaper price than regular to the new version

In theory they could offer the ability in the settings to use the NPU if one is available.
Basically the same situation as it was with Raytracing.

Technical involvement/assistance: Sure, use whatever tools you have

Artistic: Hm…Maybe. Tell what it was used for and I can say if I agree with it.

Yes, nuance is important

but
I’d argue that demanding the customer seller fill out a 20 page form on what the AI was used for (and additionally which model) would result in the opposite sentiment for the seller and customer.
Theres a line between too little and too much information.

Agreed.
What does it cost them to make a checkbox and show the value to the customer?

If they fear it, they know that the knowledge will make me think twice on buying it.

Well…
I could also set my own resolution with the config files (rocket league at last at the time allowed it) or I also could set my own resolution in my gpu driver.

So what’s the issue then?
For example, I can’t choose an ultrawide 1080p resolution in Cyberpunk2077.
Any game usually let’s me set the usual values (like 1920x1080, 1280x720, 4:3 resolutions, 16:10 resolutions, etc etc). So why not let me choose the custom resolution of 2560x1080p ???

Let me choose my own resolution.

You could get a laptop.
Doesnt mean it’s easy to transport.

Eying the Ayn Thor.
But the Anbernic dual screen is also tempting. But I fear that one will be outdated faster.

I said it’s not hard to reach that high of a revenue per head measure if you don’t have 20k employees.
Google, MS and so much other mega corps have a similar revenue (dunno exact numbers), so they obviously have lower numbers.

So calm down.

Tbf, I wouldnt even touch Amazon with a kilometer long pole even if the game was free.
I order on Amazon only if the physical item is the cheaper AND easier option to order from (usually because I can only get thing A but not B).
If I can avoid it, I will try to.

Amazon tried and failed, too.

Go do your own game shop with the feature set of steam.
We have seen how well that was executed with Epic.

I wouldnt even call the GOG implementation bad but it obviously lacks the PR in comparison (+ games like CP2077 are also available on Steam)

Not hard, if you don’t have 20k employees.

Stop assuming everyone is US please.

Healthcare around the world is stingy.
They try to get around buying high capacity backup drives because they paid 200€ for 5 1TB HDDs 6 years ago.

You’d think so.
Try again with healthcare or some other place.
Stingy af.

No it aint.
Not every company is a multi-bilion corporation distributed across 20 countries.

But it goes down slowly. Very slowly.

AFAIK: It depends.
The Cube: No
The VR headset: Yes. But it’s rather an SoC.

_version2_final_finalfinal-edit2.bin

Released on Wednesday (CET time). So on the third day of the week.

USA =/= rest of the world.

I usually only used the webversion anyway?

First (feels like) everyone complained about apps (for example restaurants) and demanded a web page.
Then there’s a fully functional web page and everyone looses their mind because nothing of value (seriously, what could the native app do better?) was lost.

At this point I’d consider the WiiU version a beta in comparison.
