I have two Samsung monitors. Both purchased about 10 years apart. The only Samsung displays I’ve ever purchased. Both have dead fucking pixels. I’ll never willingly purchase a Samsung display, monitor or TV, again.


Epic Games is also a private company

Considering the majority of stakeholders in Epic are all public companies, I disagree with this notion. Tim Sweeney owns a bit over 40%, the rest is held by:

Tencent Sony Disney Kirkbi (Lego)

Not very private, I say.


700 was Kepler (as was the 800-series). This is actually the 900-1000 series, and some Tesla cards (and the Titan V), since Volta was never used in a GeForce card.



I don’t dispute that AMD is eating Intel’s lunch, but performance-wise, AMD has nothing for nVidia. And that’s what the discussion is about, performance. AMD simply doesn’t hold a candle.



Ironic, seeing as how you don’t seem to have an inkling of a clue about how things work there.



The first one was literally a PC

Literally a Celeron 733MHz CPU with an nVidia GPU.


It was 100% mobile gaming that ushered in the age of microtransactions.


And the Chinese government is a direct shareholder in Tencent, and they have a government official on Tencent’s board of directors.

Reality isn’t as puppy dogs and rainbows as you seem to think it is.






Still using a 1080 Ti and I definitely have lots of reasons to upgrade, but I’m not willing to spread the cheeks that wide.


No, it’s a direct result of observing the market during those periods and seeing the lemmings beating down doors to pay 600-1000 dollars over MSRP. They realized the market is stupid and will bear the extra cost.


The 4090 basically never went for MSRP until Q4 2024

This had nothing to do with scalpers though. Just pure corporate greed.


Every PC in my house except for my hypervisor has an Asus motherboard. No thanks, I’ll continue using what I’ve used for two decades without issue, thanks.


I see you watched that AVGN video also…


It 100% is how it works. Read that EULA next time you install one of those games via the installer you downloaded from gog.


And unless you’re an idiot, it’s pretty nigh impossible to get caught in that honey trap.


An exclusive on Epic Games may as well just not even exist, as far as I’m concerned. Didn’t play Anno 1800 until it was finally released on Steam. Nice discount too.


Well before Starfield came out they said they couldn’t make TES6 yet because the technology didn’t exist

It’s being built on the SAME ENGINE as tes5 was built on. I think they were blowing smoke.









Many games that are DRM free on GOG are also DRM free on Steam.

I challenge you to download an offline installer from Steam for these DRM-free games they host.


Same here, playing Sins of a Solar Empire 2 with a buddy. We both got the popup.


Ubi actually makes some great games. Give Anno 1800 a shot.
