Glad I only started playing a couple weeks ago!

The only down side is DP Alt mode is optional and must be enabled and supported by the internal controller and system. In order to do that, you might as well just go full DP at that point and somehow I don’t think the manufacturers are gonna spend more money on that. Most likely the USB-C port only supports a mass storage class device.

I don’t see “relevance for HDMI” ending anytime soon. Tell me how easy it is to find a TV with DP inputs. Nearly 99% of consumer gear uses HDMI.

My understanding is it’s not even a licensing issue. The HDMI consortium won’t let you include features from 2.1 and 2.2 in an open source driver. it sounds like Valve would be willing to pay, but they’d have to include a closed source driver for the video card.

You did a pet peeve of mine….

255% growth is really easy when the numbers are so small.

I worked at a place once where they were celebrating a new product because “it had 100% growth!” and ragging on another because it only had 0.5% growth and was obviously dying off.

Thing was, the product with 100% growth went from something like 200 to 400 customers, so it was technically 100%, and the 0.5% one added 800 customers but already had something like 160,000 customers so 200 customers would have been a rounding error to it.

My point is, don’t just focus on the percentages when you’re dealing with such large disparities, it can be disingenuous.

“Non-traditional”? Homosexuality has been around and recorded since the Romans and even prior. 2000+ years isn’t traditional? That’s just as long as Christianity.

Here’s a simple one. On PC, a lot of games let you use the keyboard/mouse or a controller. On some games it’ll switch the prompts to the layout of the last type of input you used. However I tend to use a controller for everything, except I’ll use a mouse for more fine tuned control since I suck at aiming with a joystick. But then what happens is the input notifications switch to keyboard/mouse and sometimes don’t switch back.

I’d love to see an option to force which input style gets displayed on screen. Keyboard/Controller/Auto

Please do tell which games force ray tracing?

They were using a non-corporate approved Discord to discuss unionization. Depending on what they said, I could see this being the “flimsy reason” R* is using.

Okay, I’m in the minority here, but i absolutely loved 4. It was so over the top Matrix meets SR and the game play is good enough I keep coming back to it.

Dragon’s Age Origins. Had a friend tell me how it was their favorite franchise and that specifically was the best game, such amazing lore, gameplay, etc.

Couldn’t even make it past the first quest before I hung it out.

From my understanding it is basically VoIP which rides the data connection encrypted back to the phone carrier. This has advantage of not being able to be hijacked by cell tower interceptors like StingRay. This basically means that it’s much harder for governments and other entities to spy on phone calls since it’s part of the data channel and not the “voice” channel.

Bandwidth wise, I’m not as certain but it could have impacts there if they don’t have QoS correctly configured.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong?

And it gets even better. Instead of up to 33% leaving, say 50% of that group convert to Premium instead of Ultimate. That isn’t any lost revenue since the price is going up to what Ultimate used to be. So that cushions their numbers even more.

One of my biggest disappointments was when MvC:3 came out. I was hoping for something to top 2 and then they dumbed it down so monumentally.

That’s a bad analogy. I just asked 4 of my friends (25-65) if they knew who the Beatles were. Everyone said yes. Then I asked if they knew VU, everyone (including myself) had no clue who that was.

This isn’t going to be as big as you think it is.

You can blame me. Just like washing a car, I just bought a B580.

Recent game music almost sounds too cookie cutter. It’s like movie music. It’s just… there. It used to be you could remember not just main themes but ancillary ones too and you can thank John Williams and Nobou Uematsu for that, but seriously how many recent games or movies have iconic standout soundtracks?

Honestly they could have released single player DLC for V and made a load of money without having to even develop VI

Guess they wanted to add a soft layoff in addition to their recent layoffs.

I’m doing my part. I picked up an Arc B580.

Yet…. Just wait until they require an approved OS for “safety” to activate a SIM. Just think BF6 and Secure Boot.

So how long until celluar providers also say you have to have a trusted device to activate your SIM? Apple, Google, Samsung, automotive and Windows would be fine and they’d probably allow their branded or limited hotspots.

This would basically eliminate any Linux option (pc or phone), and DIY devices. I could see other OOB vendors getting on board to be certified to have a certificate issued to them.

I loved playing the first game when I was younger. It was like a more exploration based Sonic game. You had some fast parts and then others where you tried to find hidden areas.

Got everything ready to try. Just need to pull out my 360. Would I use it long term? Probably not, but this is too cool of a test to pass up.

Last Nintendo product I ever bought was in the SNES era. Didn’t care about the 64 and for the Wii I found CEMU.

Some VRMMORPG examples are Sword Art Online or Shangri-La Frontier!

Makes sense. Been impossible to get an Arc B580 at MSRP.

“MRP”… “hey Nintendo, don’t you mean MSRP?”… “no, there’s no suggestion about it”

They could have gotten a good deal on binned HD+ ones where they just were able to lower the resolution instead. Wouldn’t really know unless you open one up and look at the parts.

So what was the info this time?

Rather than a remake, I’d prefer them to complete the damn trilogy. Stupid Square trying to bank on the Avengers.

GMDX v8 was an amazing way to play it since v9 was still a bit buggy. I’m looking forward to another play though with this new update.

This is clearly on NVIDIA. The PCI spec clearly shows that pins 5 and 6 are for SMBus, even if 99% of boards don’t include those pins you still need to follow spec if your card doesn’t support it or would have issues with it.
