I think we can all agree that this game is special. Just for the wrong reasons.

Actually I imagine that many of the game's detractors would purchase the game if it was ever actually released with anywhere near the quality and content promised. Chris Robert's company would have my money in a heartbeat if they actually had something worth buying. It wouldn't make any of the...

The defence will just be "No this is good news because they just want to make a great game and not rush it like other developers." Which means the developer can just go ahead and milk them for the remainder of Chris Robert's life.

Here's some random, and useless, pieces of trivia to give you a reference point for how long this game has been in development. Development began around the time that Skyrim was originally released (which has had approximately 384 re-releases of various types on various platforms since)...

Brand new RX 580s have been $160 with free games recently and GTX 1660s have been dipping to $200 and below. Both of those are faster cards to varying degrees. So $100 for a used GTX 1060 6GB from a random forum member seems reasonable to me.

If you are mostly gaming then a GPU upgrade, no question about it. If you are more concerned about streaming then it becomes both. My recent upgrade from a 2500k to a 3700x was far less noticeable than when I went from a 1060 to a 2080 two months earlier. However I am also at 3440x1440.

Took about 15-20 minutes, but once the line outside cleared I was able to just walk in and had my 3700x within 5 minutes or so. I was actually impressed how quick it was and surprised they had any left. I can see why it would be annoying for you and anyone else after the higher end chips though.

Good bundle deal there as well. $50 off an x570 board/3000 series combo. Overheard one of them saying that they were getting low on the 3700x. The other two, cheaper, MSI MPG tier boards that I'd originally planned on getting were already out of stock as well.

Staff said they've totally been taken by surprise by the demand. Well organized though. Checking out with 3700x and Msi x570 carbon.

Dozens of people lined up outside here in Minneapolis. I seriously thought I'd be walking in alone at 8am on a Sunday. I feel like I'm trying to buy a fucking Iphone. Should have bought some skinny jeans. If it wasn't a 25 minute drive I'd turn around. But instead I'll just sit here in my car...

I'm probably going to swing by in the morning to grab a cpu and motherboard, assuming they don't mark them up by much. If all goes to plan, which it won't, I should be able to put everything together and will be enjoying my new build by this time tomorrow.

E-readers should last weeks, not days. If I was going on a long camping trip tomorrow I'd definitely take my Kindle. Smaller, lighter, more water resistant, I have access to my full elibrary and I can still read at night without having to rely on another electrical device so it's probably more...

If you are that concerned about durability then I have bad news for you. Books also fair poorly in water. The spine can break, or pages rip if dropped. They degrade over time. Many e-readers can also handle water or drops. The reasons you gave are prime reasons to not have a smart phone either...

They are giving you a refund according to the link. I don't see this as a major deal. If they were removing your access to the books and that was it I would totally understand the outrage in the link. But if Microsoft are refunding you I can just go and get the book from somewhere else without...

So many decisions. Still deciding between the 6 and 8 core models for gaming. Still deciding between x570 or x470. Also debating RAM, 3200 cl14, 3600 cl16, etc. I am so ready to be done with my 2500k. New case, PSU and GPU sat here waiting for a full rebuild.

Noise is measurable, temperatures are measurable, power efficiency is measurable. It's not just "marketing speak", they are all things that people can and do pay attention to and use as factors in their purchasing decision. Hence why you'll struggle to find a GPU review that doesn't look at all...

I'll be upgrading from a 2500k to a 3600x, 3700x or 3800x. Still not decided on that yet. Only for gaming, but considering how long I kept my current build, I'm thinking the extra cores on the 3700/3800 might be useful in the long run.

So why do reviews, including the reviews this very website did, have sections on noise, thermals and power consumption if no one cares? Price and performance are the primary factors for me, but I still pay attention to the others. If price/performance are comparable, why wouldn't I want a card...

Seems reasonable at first glance, especially as it gives you the clear choice of whether to see them or not. If I'm using reviews to help determine whether or not I want to buy a game I don't want to have to wade through thousands of complaints from people just bitching about the developer's...

It could, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that they are planning on doing that. Only that future vehicles will be impacted. If they expanded it to previous vehicles I'd be a little more sympathetic to people's complaints. Regarding the pilot assist, you learn something new everyday. I...

I can only imagine what a clusterfuck that would be if speed limiters were adjusted like that. How would that even work?

That's nice. You'll continue to be able to go that fast in that car in the future as well. Nothing is going to change there as far as I'm aware. Though it's not really relevant to the fact that Volvo is choosing to focus their future efforts on vehicles that don't go over 112mph as part of their...

CNN? Fox would be a better example but that's a side topic. Even with just a quick skim through the thread I saw Godwin's law being invoked multiple times. Thanks alone tells me there are some overdramatic people here.

I love all the outrage here about not being able to go over 112mph in a fucking Volvo. A private car manufacturer that markets themselves on the safety of their vehicles plans to limit their future vehicle's to ONLY 40% higher than the highest speed limit (80 or 85?) in this country. That...

They're judged based on historical improvements between GPU generations. Why would you compare generational improvements to CPUs instead of just looking at what we've had from previous GPU generations?

I said "trollish poster", not post. Which led to some posters not treating him as seriously as a normal poster would have been. Not one person made the claim that the user I quoted mentioned. Therefore a strawman, and unnecessary, argument.

The thread started off with a trollish poster ranting. He didn't get many serious responses due to the nature of his post and his posting history. Not one poster claimed Nvidia has never had issues, some said they don't have any issues currently while some said they have or had issues. You...

Yeah I caved and got on that deal today. I'm replacing my wife's laptop in the next couple of months so that Dell gift card is effectively cash for me right now. Needless to say, I'm just a little bit excited when I'm coming from a basic 24"/1080 monitor I bought in 2011.

Looking like 5-10% slower than the 2080 overall which is disappointing, I was expecting it to trade blows.

Yeah when they announced Freesync support I was expecting a whole new world of options. But as I went through the list nothing jumped out at me as an obvious better buy. I have no problem with upgrading to another Nvidia card in the future I'd just like the option of being able to go for...

How is that monitor working out?

I've been planning to upgrade to the AW3418DW (from a standard 24" 1080 screen) for a while now as I gather the funds for it. But now that Nvidia is supporting Freesync (kind of) are there any viable alternatives that would give me greater freedom in GPU upgrades (currently on a 1060) in the...

Even Roberts is admitting it will be 18 months until Squadron 42 releases. And considering they've missed their own deadlines countless times now even that should be taken with a mountain of salt, so that isn't exactly much of a short or medium term solution. Especially when you would assume...

What is the huge cushion of cash? Haven't they already spent 95% of what they've earned while costs continue to rise and income falls? All while still being several years away from release?

I was really hoping for AMD to come out with something that beat the price/performance of the 20xx series so the full product stack would shift lower. Instead we're left with exactly the same as what we had in 2016 with the 10xx series, just with another card on top of the stack. Talk about...

Well the price is a little better than I expected, 1070ti performance for $100 less than what that released at. Still nowhere near the price/performance increase that the 10xx gen offered over 9xx. But better than what we got work the other Turing cards.

You know the 2060 is going to be underwhelming just based on how hard they are trying here.

Are they really making us watch that demo video again? "Hey I know everyone's response to the 2080 and 2080Ti was underwhelming, but maybe if we show them the tech demo a second time they'll change their minds"

My god, so we're looking at another 2+ years for the game to come out. What will that be, 9 years of development in total? Even if they actually hit a deadline for once? I see he's still trotting out the lines about how they just don't have the resources of EA, etc. Must be rough only being...

Glad I cashed out earlier this year. It was just a fun little experiment with my gaming machine overnight for a few months so I didn't make much money. But it was nice to at least make some profit on it before it crashed again.
