I’ll probably finally move from my 8700K to the top of the line Arrow Lake at launch. Arrow Lake and RTX 5090 has been my plan for some time. I have no idea what kind of improvement to expect over 14th gen offerings however.

Angel. He has ammo box so unlimited ammo. Also has defib. For planes, the unguided rockets are great.

I am 43. I joined the forum when I was 27. For me it goes all the way back to 1985. The games are better today. The tech is better. I’m not sure younger gamers realize how good they have it. And my son is almost old enough to start getting into it. Good stuff!

Meta?

I wonder how much of a leap in graphics/physics we will see. Will this next game target the next gen consoles? 🤔 Do we know what engine they are using?

I’m old school, so WWII is always my first choice. It will never happen, however.

It looks like Battlefield 2042 is wrapping up with this last Season 7. Therefore, I am opening a new thread dedicated to the next gen Battlefield that has been acknowledged by EA. Hopefully more to come.

The show is insane! Realizing that you have a new show to binge is a special kind of euphoria. A new OLED helps too!

HDR Brightness and upscaling performance of lower res content is almost beyond belief. I’m guessing the Samsung is 85% there, maybe...

I can clearly see all the way down to and including box 1 on Sony A95L QD-OLED.

The game is $9.00 lol. Buy it!

The funny thing is, I remember buying the first graphics card branded by NVIDIA as having a GPU. GeForce 256 in 1999. I noticed the term GPU on the back and dismissed it as utter marketing nonsense. I just wanted more frames in Half-Life. Man if only I had a Delorean…

Portal mode can be surprisingly entertaining. There is a server called Afghan War Sim that serves up modern combat on the El Alamein map. Then you can ocassionally find 1942 servers, which are great fun. In air supremacy, you can instantly respawn in any air vehicle and the map is air...

This TV turned out to be SO good I no longer care about the ports. I’ll deal.

There is something flaky about the graphics in all of his games. Everything looks like a veneer or something. The lighting and effects look like something from 2009. This looks like Bioshock in all the wrong ways.
