Losing Arkane and Tango are unfortunate. Arkane (did they merge Lyon and Austin?) , prior to being ordered to make the disaster that was Redfall, was known for single player immersive sims like the Dishonored series, Prey, and Deathloop aso its really unfortunate they're being made to suffer...

Its good that Sony realized that this was a horrible decision, especially when they approved the game for sale in many countries on PC that are not permitted to make PSN accounts (and we're not only talking North Korea / Russia / China here where the restrictions come from that country's side...

I'm not a huge fan of Jay independent of this, but Optimus blocks are well regarded last I checked, perhaps some of the best of the best. Their Signature V3 blocks are insane, and their res combo units were some of the best in their style; Optimus is also made in the USA which is nice to see...

I think we need to return to a baseline of being able to expect CPU manufacturers and mobo makers to have "safe-ish" defaults for Auto and "tested OC" settings. These are not meant to be the highest, most granular tweaks possible so the idea that someone buying the $800+ motherboard and...

In an ideal world I would hope for Microsoft to see this and think maybe they should alter their behavior, but I doubt that will happen. Its particularly noteworthy that Microsoft seems to be making more and more software exclusive to Win11, including major system features such as (if its...

They need to make it so the "AI" stuff (and related, raytracing and other workloads) work on consumer GPUs as well. Trying to push only at the highest end is silly when you can do better , especially taking advantage of open source widespread development to help build a foundation of those...

I'm not a huge fan given that MSI cards have been recently overly expensive but without the quality you'd get from something similarly priced; Gigabyte/AORUS had a similar problem but MSI had their SUPRIM X costing more than even Asus ROG Strix etc. Still, I lament the loss of an OEM...

Is that actually present in the game? I've only seen it in a screenshot so far and given there are more than a few edited screenshots out there for various titles (ie one seem to be ragebaiting for the Stellar Blade game etc) I'd like to confirm that is in the game before getting upset...

Anyone have a good modern (ie Alpha 3.22 or failing that close to it) suggested keybinding mapping and/or instructional video? I'm running into the issue that some of the 'big' prefab keymaps (ie BuZZKiller) do not support my particular joystick setup and aren't necessarily easy to adapt...

I am very suspicious of many techtubers but if this is accurate that's unfortunate. However after watching how some of those channels posted here reacted to the AMD firmware/AGESA/mobo issues last year, it appears they're less than dispassionate journalistic integrity driven than a lot...

If there is anyone who is using an Asus X670E Extreme mobo + Arctic Liquid Freezer III (3), I'd appreciate your experiences. I'm trying to sort out once and for all if there is a compatibility issue with this hardware or not. Now, Arctic themselves mentions a potential compatibility issue...

Its my understanding that as soon as 3.23 come in, the "Xenothreat" event will soon start. However, its very important to mention that NOW, before Xenothreat events start, you can play up to 5 missions related to them, in the Overdrive Initiative -...

The Crystal Super is interesting, but with those kind of prices I expect OLED panels to do more than 90hz - at least 120hz. I'd be interested to see how they stack up to the latest from Varjo and similar, but ultimately the big concern for me is the openness of the technology. So far only...

Oh I grant that people who are upset about only one and not the other for some reason, all other things being equal, doesn't seem rational. However, in the framing about how it makes people angry in the situation I postulated (choice to do something like a stock buyback or dividends, at the...

Money goes out, but who it benefits both individually and in terms of the corporations a whole and how, can differ depending on many things. There's also differences between common and preferred shares, voting rights, if its public vs private etc. Even if you assume that the shares are all...
