    Apple Plans To Overhaul Entire Mac Line With AI-Focused M4 Chips

    This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is the bickering (between nerds who've made their affinity for particular consumer products part of their identity) classically entertaining, I (as someone whose desktop is a Threadripper based Windows workstation, travels with a 16" M3 Max...

    FS: Two System Part Outs - Intel 3930K & Threadripper 1950X

    Selling out two older builds. Prefer to sell each build as a package deal rather than piecemeal. Everything is in 100% functional condition and good to excellent cosmetic condition. System 1: Intel 3930K CPU Asus x79 Sabertooth mobo 32 GB (4x8) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 ram Noctua NH D14 CPU...

    LG 32GS95UE – OLED 31.5″ with 4K @ 240Hz and 1080p @ 480Hz Support - The death knell of LCD panels

    I also got a robo call from LG saying I should expect my pre-order to ship the 16th or so. This is part of a monitor setup revamp and will sit alongside a MSI MPG321UR QD. I’m planning on using the LG primarily for gaming and the MSI for software development, productivity, etc.

    Resident Evil Village and RE:4 Remake for iOS/macOS

    I recently finished RE4R and its Separate Ways DLC on PC and I can say it's a masterpiece and easily the best game I played last year (sorry BG3). That said I really have no interest in playing it again on iOS, especially not for another $40. One of the best parts of RE4R was being constantly...

    Apple 'Scary Fast' Mac event October 30th

    My original delivery date was 11.21 so I wasn't expecting this until next week. Keep an eye on the tracking info I suppose. Similar in kind to "Dynamic Island" on the iPhones, basically extending the physical notch digitally and adding the extra space for notifications and such. Probably...

    Apple 'Scary Fast' Mac event October 30th

    Thanks, I'm sure you'll love it as I'm already impressed with how snappy it is compared to my 2019 Intel-based 16" MBP. I’m also doing development work and the extra horsepower is not only time saving but actually opening up new approaches that previously weren’t viable.

    Review the game you finished recently.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake (PC) It's been a minute since I've played a Resident Evil game as RE3 was my last foray into the survival horror series some 20 odd years ago. I tend to play RPG and strategy games so I lost interest as the RE games got more action oriented. After finishing Resident Evil...

    Meta Quest 3

    Really tempted to pick this up. I have a Quest 2 with a dozen or so games but have logged a grand total of ~3 lifetime hours. Just something about the clunkiness and visuals that bother me enough to avoid using it altogether. Really wonder if the Quest 3 improvements are enough to cross me into...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    Got to T4 playing solo sorc at level 63 and basically hit a brick wall in willingness to play after realizing I've pretty much seen it all. I agree with a lot of the criticisms - there's something fundamentally missing in the core game-play, making it a shallow, unsatisfying experience despite...

    Intel 13900K on Amazon for $409

    An update - to no surprise of many I received some knee braces instead of a CPU. Another point for the old adage, "If it's too good to be true..."
