still solves the problem.

can someone kidnap this motherfucker and make him work normal labor job for 80 hours a week, for a year, and see how much he likes this stupid fucking pants on head idea after that

PC stuff sucked this year thanks to AI datacenters creating shortages that saw stuff like 100 dollar sets of ram skyrocket to 1000 dollars

Black friday used to actually be good. but like everything good, corporate greed ruined it.

It became a week long event, then a month long event, then companies figured out if they slightly hurt sales in late october/november by doubling prices, they could massively increase sales for black friday, and make those sales at near normal retail pricing too thanks to JCPennying.

I still shop black friday when I can. not to buy into marketing hype, or to buy something for its normal price and think I got an amazing deal, but because I hope to find something i actually need in a discount price I can actually afford. . . Which is getting rarer and rarer with each passing year.

Yeah, that seems par for the course with current Paradox games the past few years…

Cities Skylines is 2 years old and still shit, too… Hell paradox is even going so far as to change the dev company working on it at the start of next year. Which is doing wonders for peoples hope for the future of the game /s

What? VTM2 came out?

When?

I legitimately did not know it was released.

Is that part of why its flopping?

Or is the gameplay bugged to fuck/story shit/etc?

Bullshit translator: “I want to sell more AI made games, so i can reduce costs by firing everyone, and being held accountable for using AI is gonna prevent me from bilking idiots to increase my fortunes by another billion or 5”

ah yes, every time they want to do something abhorrent, they cry “its for the children!” to immediately try and silence any critics.

6700 is indeed a decent GPU for anything you want to play.

but your FX processor is so old that it cant keep up, Its bottlenecking the hell out of you. I bet you arent even hitting 50% of the capability of the GPU with such an old CPU.

I dont want to tell you to go and spend hundreds of dollars to buy a new mobo/cpu/ram… but theres no tweaking, editing, or anything, you can do to make a 13 year old CPU keep up with modern software.

Either gonna have to accept limitations and only play much older games, or invest in new CPU/MOBO/RAM… Which is a bad time to be doing that because ram prices are like 300% higher than what they should be, and continuing to climb, thanks to AI. . . if you do upgrade, I’d suggest picking up at least the ram used, if not the whole bunch.

So what? I’m at work and I don’t have the mental energy to address all this shit, on top of my job duties.

Guy spends time arguing pure bullshit and propaganda, but doesnt have the mental energy to handle being called out and suddenly pretends hes such a poor, oppressed victim.

what a fuckin joke, lol.

yeah, if you’re interests are super narrow then yeah it wouldnt be good for you.

i mean… you can pause your month and skip the shit you have no interest in…

I think in 10 years of being subscribed I’ve only felt the need to do it like…twice? i think

i almost never buy games on steam itself anymore…Even on the steam sales. The sales are a poor imitation of the great values that they were 10+ years ago, and quite frankly…the quality of games coming out isnt what it was 10+ years ago, either.

I subscribe to Humble Monthly and, eventually, get almost every game I’ve ever wanted.

Weird you gotta spew blatant lies and misinformation just to service corpo dick.

Plenty of multiplayer games and MMOs are playable on linux. and they prove you don’t need invasive, spyware level access for anticheat.

Yep, and since it has both system ram AND dedicated gddr graphics ram… its gonna be double dipped in the price gouging by the memory manufacturers

Yeah, I agree.

I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.

He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.

iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.

Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.

having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years

It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

With all of that being said, it seems to me it’s very likely it will be around 800 but less than 1000

maybe more with the way ram prices are skyrocketing… because even though it comes out next year, they are probably being manufactured and stockpiled right now.

I assume this is something that will be a flag during compile or something, and only useful for asus hardware, and not something every one will have in all kernels on all hardware?

If you have humble monthly, you already own Warhammer III, as its in this months choice bundle.
