It's not 8kx2k, pixel count is roughly "6K". Its one of the reasons I don't like designations like that. They are inaccurate. Call it pedantic if you like but I'm technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. To answer the question more specifically, no. It doesn't automatically do...

Monitor doesn't do 8K.

The G502X is just an update of the same basic design. They feel almost the same in the hand. It looks a little different cosmetically and uses a USB-C port to charge instead of micro-USB. I don't think it's worth the cost to upgrade personally.

It's called risk management. EA has a lot of debt and doesn't have the cash to waste on games and studios that aren't likely to do well. BioWare has a track record of financial disappointment going back over a decade. Given the people working on the game, EA obviously didn't have the confidence...

I've got 32GB in my 5070 Ti based laptop. I have 48GB in my desktop with a 5090. I have two older machines, I believe those have 16GB. One's got a 3090, the other has a 2080 Super. One of those is a 3950X and the other is a 3900X.

Out of the original main TOS cast, only George Takai and William Shatner are left. Out of the TNG cast, Stewart was the first to go. However, as he was the oldest that's pretty much expected.

That's what I mean by unfair comparisons. People compare the Andromeda characters to the entirety of the Mass Effect trilogy. In fairness, the characters in Andromeda should be compared to the ones in Mass Effect 1. On that front, I don't think it fares as badly as people say it does. Sure...

Well, Andromeda was a step up graphically and the combat was another high point for it. Story and character wise it was a step back. Though some of the characters don't get the credit they deserve, and I think Andromeda does get unfairly compared to the trilogy in this respect. I also think the...

Peter Cullen, Sam Neill, Tim Curry, Michael Forest, Walter Koenig, and Patrick Stewart just to name a few. And that's limiting things to sci-fi actors. Multiple losses for kids of the 80's and earlier like myself, but three losses to Star Trek specifically. For those who don't remember, Michael...

Whether the writing was simply bad or people hated the lesbian stuff, doesn't really matter. The perception is that the game was woke and pushing the alphabet mafia agenda. The simple perception that is woke is as good as it being woke. Either way, it was less successful because of the backlash...

I can live with that.

While business strategies, game mechanics etc. are massive components that can absolutely make or break a game or kill studios, I think denying that woke kills games is just copium. The fact is, many of these titles are made worse by the hiring decisions behind the scenes. Having the wrong...

Yes it is. I had a great aunt struggle with Alzheimer's. I watched my ex's grandfather struggle with dementia for a decade. Lastly, a friend of mine's grandmother (who I knew for years) went through it. It's pretty rough to watch.

I saved a couple things, but most of it I have tossed. I threw away a ton of stuff when I downsized houses especially. I do have my old Skulltrail and Pentium Pro dually setups, a lot of CPUs of different areas. Lastly, I think I have both of my old Titan X's I used to run in SLI.

You guys that are into vintage hardware would likely be sickened by the amount of it I've thrown away over the years.

I've been using G502 Hero, G502X Lightspeeds, etc. for years now. I like some of Razor's mice ergonomically, but they all feel super cheap to me and the ones I've had didn't last very long compared to Logitech and other mice I've had. I've also had similar experiences with ASUS and Corsair on...

He looks rough in Star Trek Picard. I think this got worse with each season. Additionally, (I think it was Johnathan Frakes) who said he only did half days of shooting on Picard Season 3. If you notice, they did most of his scenes in that show with him sitting down. You could also tell by the...

We already have a thread on this.

The problem is, this almost never works. When you have people from one studio go and create a "spiritual successor" to a franchise, it never hits the same. It often feels like a Temu or discount version of the original IP. Hopefully, Exodus is truly different from Mass Effect and doesn't feel...

Honestly, there is rarely a reason if ever to unplug that connector over the card's service life. Once seated, the connection should stay seated.

I've never seen one of these woke dumpster fires that didn't compromise its gameplay in some way. Dragon Age the Veilguard had repetitive combat, Concord was nothing special, Andromeda actually had combat as a high point for it, but its story, characters and dialog were a step backwards in most...

Using the 12 pin connector, there is a "click" when its properly seated. Also, my plug is yellow and once plugged in, you can't see the yellow anymore. I'd like to say they made it idiot proof, but we all know the saying when it comes to that.

Why would you think that? Most people don't see it that way. For desktops, efficiency has only been something people generally care about in small form factor or other situations where they can only have smaller power supplies, or have to content with massive amounts of heat without being able...

Stuff like that happened in games long before Mass Effect came along. Story wise, their armor can deliver medigel directly to injured areas, healing them.

I got my GeForce RTX 5090 before I got the Samsung Odyssey G9 57. As for a faster GPU, the only thing out there that is faster would be the A6000, and I am not going to spend a couple desks of cash on something like that.

I'm not selling mine. I mean, it's tempting but who knows how long it will be before I'll actually be able to get a GPU that's faster than this one. Also, 5080's are now going for stupid money, and that's quite a downgrade.

No, it's harder now. They had truly broken builds in the original game. The revolver stealth build was absolutely game breaking. You could one tap anything on the highest difficulty except bosses. Those took a double tap. Even Atomsmasher only took 7 or 8 shots to kill unless you broke off and...

Most people have little to no idea how the industry works, thus blaming what they can see with their own eyes. The woke stuff is what's most visible, and the perception that things are worse because of it isn't wrong, but it does end up being a catch all for more than it probably should be...

They really aren't. It's been a rampant problem in the AAA gaming space for a decade now. You simply aren't paying attention to the game industry itself. We've seen plenty of decent looking games that have good graphics, but include woke narratives and other bullshit. So no, that doesn't...

This is why understanding context is crucial. This is you not understanding the reason WHY this stuff is being said. All you heard was bad graphics equals woke, without bothering to understand why those comments were made. You didn't pay attention to the other discussions as to why that's the...

As far as we know, the marketing is separate like it is for Hollywood films. Meaning, you can easily add millions to the already bloated total.

Probably none. H1B's are usually contractors. They can just let those go without severance.

Its a problem that only effects studios in the west. Studios in the east aren't spending that much on AAA games. Eastern devs are literally doing higher quality work in half the time at half to one-third the cost. Spending 250-300 million dollars on a single player RPG is absurd. (Star Wars...

Whether you use the word "woke" or not, I have yet to see a rational discussion about these topics from anyone who virtue signals for the kind of crap we see being shoehorned into modern entertainment media coming from Hollywood or western game studios. You need only look at this thread and the...

Depending on the final budget, it could take 5, 6 or more millions of copies for the game to break even, much less turn a profit. Basic math is lost on a lot of these people.

I'm not a cable snob and it works like advertised. The cable was high quality and gets the job done.

As I said, the Odyssey G9 57" isn't an 8K monitor. It's native resolution is 7680x2160. That's roughly "6K" if you want to get technical. That's the highest resolution I've tested it at. That said, the cable can do it according to the specs.

I've confirmed that the cable that comes with the display can do 7680x2160 (which is closer to 6k, not 8k), at 240Hz. The problem is that the cable is way too short for much of anything. So I had to buy a longer cable to properly utilize the display. Also, you worry about the weirdest shit...

The latter of the two I fucking hate. It's why I didn't care much for Alien Isolation and find the mere concept of the Amnesia: Dark Descent offensive.

There are several reasons that trailer could have been made. It may have been made to show the higher ups what to expect if they were allowed to complete the game. It may have been a "save our jobs" type of move. This may not have been as sudden as it seems from our point of view. Sometimes...
