    Nintendo Switch 2 arrives June 5th, 2025

    I don't think the artifacts are worth the trade even if one likes the look. Texture mods would be cool as long as there's an actual effort involved. New textures are out of place if they don't maintain the style. The OoT video shows stonework changing in style and transforming into brick, for...

    Amazon’s Ring to partner with Flock, a network of AI cameras used by ICE, feds, and police

    Better if Flock is forced to pay for them and the town removes the cameras and/or fires anyone involved with escalating it to such a degree.

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Not a bad idea. The ship has sailed at the nearest MC, all over $1k and only 4 9070s left for $30 under the cheapest XT. I have old HW lying around which would work fine aside from a few games I can live without. Merged post edit: Greed is their duty by definition if that's so.

    Nintendo Switch 2 arrives June 5th, 2025

    It looks awful; it's a great example of what erek has mentioned about the generic 'AI slop' look. Lighting levels are constantly bouncing around, shadows are fading in and out, the power up behind the cart turns into a black blob, the entire kart nearly does the same for several seconds. I could...

    Should i upgrade my 2600x/x470 combo? or get another board?

    I have a twisted desire to see the advanced and OC pages. It looks like the board has less features than boards from decades ago.

    EAC v2 and Fortnite coming to Linux

    I don't particularly disagree on Steamworks, but it's not as if the others wanted to play ball on cross platform MP until recently or let users host (perish the thought). As for the AI bit, why should anyone would care about developers and publishers being forced to divulge anything?

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    I wondered the same about all the HW when I read the quote.

    Nintendo Switch 2 arrives June 5th, 2025

    Some major dips here and there and absurd memory usage but good showing so far.

    The VR Mod Revolution is here

    Will you be trying that one if/when it's out?

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Already up over $1k now. The 9070 GRE is starting to look like a fantastic deal.

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Upstream suppliers realizing they can also get a much bigger piece of the pie, I suppose.

    Apple unveils its first touchscreen Mac: the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display

    Optionally treating the touch input like a mouse action would be fine but I can't imagine why someone would favor it. I'd opt for buttons/mouse/etc rather than fingers tapping a touch screen for nearly anything if given the choice.

    5090 Production Halted

    If things continue, it's looking like Intel could win the budget tier by default o_O. You've got (for now, at Micro Center): B580 - Okay at its price 3060 12GB - More expensive and worse than the B580 9060XT 16GB - Okay at its price relative to the insanity 9070GRE - Much better than the 9060...

    Legendary Game Studio Bioware Shuts Down

    No, you see, that's just your inability to think of anything else and we need a detailed statistical analysis before any conclusions can be drawn :rolleyes:. It simply cannot have anything to do with what they're saying outright or the colossal wastes of money to do it :rolleyes::rolleyes:.

    RTX 5090 FE Molten 12VHPWR

    It's the latter at this point. Same for mentions of statistics unlikely to ever be released.
