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...

I think an issue is that, while dividends for the benefit of shareholders to the exclusion of worker, customer and other stakeholders are frustrating in their own right and deserve to be critiqued, stock buybacks have to do with adjusting the perceived books and value of the company in a...

According to the links in the comments, the pictures have been confirmed fake upon update - https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9000-granite-ridge-desktop-es-cpu-with-8-zen5-cores-has-been-pictured I'm sure we'll be getting a real one later in the year. That said, I'm not so concerned...

What motherboard did you find compatibility issues and how so? Did you mean to say it was an Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 or was it a Liquid Freezer 3? I'm still trying to sort out possible compatibility issues with the Arctic LF3 listed above and the Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme so if...

Dead Cells expansions, including licensed ones, did very well and I can see how a roguelike Prince of Persia can work with the timeshift/repeat mechanic since the Sands of Time. The aesthetic is unique Honestly, I hear even the Lost Crown was actually a very well done metroidvania but...

Oh I'm aware that it doesn't use much power - a factor that makes it a useful addition when intended for use, but one that makes it more concerning if cannot be controlled or not without very granular process management inspection; you're not likely to be aware of a process drinking power...

Honestly, the NSA or other gov't agency doesn't need to worry about national security letters, getting a rubber stamp FISA court order etc...when they can just buy that data from public data brokers, invest in barely 'anonymized' micro-targeted advertising platforms be it Google...

This is a good reminder for me to return to Rising - I started off and was having an enjoyable time, but I never got a chance to finish before it ended up in the backlog as so many titles do for one reason or another.

Anyone who's waiting for Hundred Heroes, don't forget that EC: Rising the prequel spinoff, has importable saves that will give content in Hundred Heroes.There seem to be some people who are making their "perfect" saves for import reasons, so those not into Rising's gameplay this may be...

Physical copy I'm guessing? I wonder if they'll release digital ones ttoo.

On the good side, if you got it through Humble Choice it IS the base version of the game, but comes with a coupon for use on Humble Store that gets you the Season Pass (which is all the DLC, including the expansions) for 60% off . That's another opportunity and overall picks it up cheap...

I've been looking for a new case for my NAS/home server rebuild project, and recently became aware of these two new cases from Silverstone - https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/rm600/ and https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/rm61-312/ - the...

Arctic AIO sold and a few edit!

I'm guessing that AIO wise the LF3 would be one of the better candidates given it has a thicker radiator than most others out there - 38mm vs 27mm for typical aluminum Asetek variation designs that are the majority of other models. There are a handful of AIOs out there that may be worthwhile...

Net Neutrality is conceptually a good thing; I find it concerning that certain vested interests attempting to just make up often contrary descriptions has worked as well as it has. In short, Net Neutrality just means that from a all traffic must be treated equally regardless of its type...

Yes. It is. However, all the reports of that basically stem from one supposed insider leak, that seems to have been reported over and overagain by others. Its from "insider gaming", originally as I understand it. The report is there are two characters, a samurai and a shinobi (the...

Ah, that' too bad, especially considering (if I am correct) they hired a pretty well known Persian-American actress to voice (I think) the Mentor of that bureau, so I expected the performance there to be decent story wise. As far as the counter thing I am guessing that they tried to split...

Did you play Valhalla? Mirage is on my backlog, but I imagine the story elements both reference some of the earlier AC titles given the setting etc... though Basim himself, or at least some very important elements of his backstory, motivations etc.. are present as you go through...

Well admittedly I remember the time that some very core stable packages, notably openssl, used to sign tons of stuff, turned out t have a low key backdoor capable vulnerability (heartbleed?) because it was rarely updated. That was the time everyone switched over to libressl for a little...

Up again, adding Thrustmaster HOTAS!

I too have selected a new Liquid Freezer III based on reviews (and the exceptional prices at launch discount), and am currently determining if it will fit on my proposed mobo the Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme which Arctic considers potentially incompatible due to the heatsink w/ the...

I can give an overview of a few that I known / off the top of my head later if I have time.

I remember the Sanctum and Orcs Must Die games fondly which had a similar design, and always had an affinity for even "pure" tower defense if well done, so I'd be interested in this. I do wish the pricing would be a little lower/discount a bit better, but maybe the depth is worth the price...

About a year ago I mentioned it briefly in a thread for another game, but i think it deserves it own - Zero Ranger - https://store.steampowered.com/app/809020/ZeroRanger/ - On its surface, it is an EXCELLENT vertically scrolling shoot-em-up in the best traditions of the Japanese genre. Its...

While I agree with this on a conceptual level, it is important to realize that the average person has the opportunity (note just opportunity, it doesn't mean inclination, quality etc...) to get that kind of exposure in ways that don't require sitting in a classroom with other upper-crust...

I'd have to look closely at the study, but I have to say that this is perhaps more of a change of measurement metrics than an absolute lessening of memory or performance. I seem to remember that the same was said of many other things, sky-falling style, in the past that have been incorporated...
