I have mixed feelings. Sorting through drops is now easier, and the tempering system allows you to get affixes that you actually want and need for your build. However, one of the big issues I have, and this is probably due to the reduction of affixes on dropped items, is that the stat roll is...

Gaming Blackwell won't be based on enterprise Blackwell, which this article is about. Surprised they're not pushing int4 in this comparison. We can double the speed by further cutting the size of the data type in half! https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/int4-for-ai-inference/

I feel so special that I think I'll take the short bus to work from now on.

One retainer, and one ninja. Yasuke was not a samurai. He was a bodyguard, not a soldier.

3960X looking at their post history, which is around 20% slower than a 7800X3D in single thread performance. And even though it has triple the cores of a 7800X3D, it's only about 20% faster in multithreading.

False narrative created by the internet.

Sony is the one who removed the game from sale in those countries, not Valve. The person or entity that publishes a game on Steam is the one that has control over that. Which is why it was a fuckup on Sony's part for selling it globally to begin with. They didn't remove it from the libraries...

Wow, that looks absolutely terrible. Will it last longer than Gundam Evolution?

And I don't agree with those people. I could tolerate Sunken King, but Old Iron King has me wanting it to end by the time I'm a third of the way through it, and I don't ever want to do Ivory King again.

That requires engaging with the settlement system, though.

The patch broke DLSS, by the way, and it's not just frame generation like the notice in Battle.net says. I am only getting 40-60 FPS now with ray tracing when I got 80-100 with DLSS Balanced without frame generation before the patch.

The Dark Souls 2 DLC was a slog and I hated every second of it.

Don't know what you mean by not being ready. The game has been fine since day 1. My issue is that they have been trying too hard to satiate the content vultures again and doing too many drastic things that keep dumbing the game down. Recall that the game was originally designed with the...

You can just use RTSS. Turn off V-Sync for the game by setting iPresentInterval to 0. Enable the HotkeyHandler plugin in RTSS by checking the box next to it on the Plugins tab in Setup. Highlight HotkeyHandler.dll and click Setup. Click the text box next to "Toggle framerate limiter" and record...

People have complained about ASUS' RMA process for many years. One of the caveats I think that is always said on this forum is to hope you never have to RMA your parts when you buy ASUS.

Me still waiting for Bloodborne and Demon's Souls:

Haven't tried it yet post-patch, but it was always a thing as far as I can remember.

Yes, it's installed on my SN850X. Transitioning from indoors to out and vice versa takes as long as an HDD. It took anywhere from 20-45 seconds when I was playing around with the new patch after it came out. It should only take a few seconds if the loading screen wasn't tied to the framerate.

The concept of cannibalizing sales is badly defined, in my opinion. The publishers and developers get paid a rate by Microsoft based criteria that are not public, but we could deduce that one criterion is the number of potential subscribers and the amount of time they would spend playing the...

Would like an official fix for the loading time issue, too. These are all outstanding issues that have been around for 9 years.

I agree with World of Warcraft. Every publisher tried to replicate WoW's success for a decade after it came out by releasing clones of the game, but WoW wouldn't exist without EverQuest. Coincidentally, MMORPGs as we know them could also be traced back to Ultima. Ultima Online, in this...

Classic Marathon 2 is coming to Steam soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2398490/Classic_Marathon_2/

I don't know about their newest version, but I've read about the Nexus mod manager having issues in the past. I'd use Wabbajack instead. https://www.wabbajack.org/ Wabbajack modlists can also be found on Nexus and other places.

Alt+0246 makes the ö in Ragnarök if you were not aware.

It's not, but the subversion is so pervasive now that it's hard for even "normies" to ignore, which is why the discourse has heated up in the past couple years. The reality is that this pot has been slowly boiling for the past 15 years, which is what allowed it to reach this point.

It's literally the same game engine, which means the face was changed on purpose. It's not about inconsistency, it's about the fact that they took a decent model from the original game and changed it in the pseudo sequel for no reason. You see the same thing with MJ going from Spider-Man to...

That is the way PlayStation is doing it with their PSN model, so I can definitely see Xbox doing the same.

I could never get into the Ultima games, though I understand its importance for the RPG genre. Most role-playing games up to that point were dungeon crawlers while Ultima is one of the first to give us the open world exploration that is expected these days. Even its predecessor Akalabeth was a...

Trying to get the last 4 tasks done before the Season of the Construct ends in Diablo IV next Tuesday. "Just" need to grind one more glyph to level 15, kill Avarice one more time, kill Echo of Duriel, and complete a Tier 90 Nightmare Dungeon.

The Xbox division isn't run by Satya Nadella. The CEO of Xbox is Phil Spencer and the President is Sarah Bond. And Xbox is losing money hand over fist. The only reason I can see Nadella continuing to allow Xbox to exist is the growth potential for subscriptions, and since that isn't playing...

Says $368 for me, whether or not I'm signed in.

I think they said as much that they're doubling down on live service games earlier this year, learning absolutely nothing from this debacle. You'd think the massive success of Hogwarts Legacy would have taught them that people are more interested in complete single player experiences instead.

Millennials are by far the largest group of anime consumers. It makes sense because the explosion of its popularity happened in the early-mid 1990s thanks to an increase of imports that aired on network television. You have to basically seek it out yourself these days since the plurality of...

According to their earnings call, Warner Bros. lost $200 million EBITDA on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In total the game publishing arm of WB had a YOY decline in revenue of $400 million. This perfectly contrasts to WB's success with Hogwarts Legacy in the Q1 earnings call from...

The specs for the Enhanced Edition are a bit higher.

I haven't looked at the details in the latest earnings call, but for the quarter ending December 31 the Xbox division had a net operating loss of $440 million. The cost of integrating Activision Blizzard King into the business may have contributed to that loss. 1% growth in the following...
