Nice history! My first 'game system' was a hand-me-down Pong type system, probably in 1982, from a friend when they upgraded to an Atari 2600. (They also had a VIC-20 before that. Or maybe after I do not remember. I think it was after, though) "Ultra Pong" was the "pong" game con...

Wow I can't believe it's already been three years since I built my AMD 3950 system . I have zero plans to upgrade anything. Best/most reliable system I've ever had. As long as nothing breaks I can see myself using this system for at least 2 more years for a 5 year cycle or maybe longer.(especially w...

Nvidia got greedy and over ordered and now with crypto not doing well, they are overloaded with cards and can't give them away it seems. 3080ti FTW was $895 a few days ago.

Full on meltdown of GPU prices right now. Nvidia FTW 3080 Ti is -23% retail prime at $1089 So hard to predict the market.

Man, it's crazy how scared liberals are of free speech. Just a reminder, free speech doesn't = only things you agree with. Cancel culture woke people have become a scary group, just as bad as the far right in trying to protect their views while suppressing other opinions. The tables have turned and ...

"Freedom of speech" doesn't apply to privately owned companies that have their set of rules for the platforms they run. Don't want to get banned? Then don't violate their terms of use. Don't agree with the terms? Then don't use the platform. How is that complicated? It's 50/50 if Musk Twi...

With so many legitimate reasons to despise liberals, it’s really not necessary to spread the lie that they’re all fat, lazy and on welfare (not that there’s anything inherently wrong with any of those things). Some liberals are hard workers. Hard at work destroying this country. I'm good with a lot...

Even in places like Texas I'm willing to bet liberal people in the cities outnumber conservatives in the state, and the laws should reflect that. Yes, liberal people in the city = "fat lazy fucks on welfare" outnumber conservatives. No thanks to their voice reflecting their numbers. Take ...

We'll see if the lower prices last. If China invades Taiwan, no one will be getting new video cards! Crypto isn't doing well right now so it doesn't pay for miners to be buying mass amounts of GPUs. No plans to upgrade my 3080ti even if the new cards are substantially better. There would have to be ...

That's fairly crass. Were you going for edgy humor or something? If so you missed your mark. The 'procedure' you speak of isn't the safest and comes with its share of risks. It was not to be taken seriously. Basically saying you'd still be able to drive to another county/state like they did in the ...

If I had never played Grand Theft Auto V, I may have enjoyed Cyberpunk more, but Rockstar just does it better. In GTA V the city feels more alive, the driving is smoother and I just didn’t care about the characters or the overall story in Cyberpunk. Keanu Reeves being in the game was purely a gimmi...

Man, that 40 mile long Russian convoy heading to Kyiv would be taken out by US air power so easily. It must frustrate US military intelligence that they can't do anything about it.

Putin screwed up big time with this one. It looks like the troops he sent to Ukraine are pretty apathetic and their equipment isn't the best.

That's all fine and dandy but we were talking about Activision/Blizzard and Call of Duty. Right, whatever new franchise Activision/Blizzard comes up with next will probably be exclusive. It's too much of a PR hit to make previous franchise games exclusive. Starfield will be a big test. That's a hug...

Whatever makes Microsoft money is that they'll do. I'd think it would be more about new IPs/Games that would be exclusive to Microsoft than existing franchises. Starfield for example from Bethesda is at least initially an PC/Xbox exclusive with no support for PS5 announced.
