1. Yes.

2. They would fight back, buy all our media sources, and buy our governments to make sure 1 didn’t happen.

Watch out be like everything else in wow and be used for one expansion and then forgotten about.

Thank fuck. Can we have cheaper graphics cards again please?

I’m sure a RTX 4090 is very impressive, but it’s not £1800 impressive.

Last time I thought about static I wondered why colour TV didn’t show colour static.

Turns out the colour signal was on very specific frequencies, and if it wasn’t present, it would assume it was a black and white signal and turn off the colour circuit.

Well they only need to do the first part of that.

I think they’re more likely to have been scrapped than other old tech.

They’re bulky, and mine was too heavy to get out in the attic. I still have my ZX Spectrum and Amiga, but the CRT needed for lightgun games is long gone.

It’s even more acceptable to half-ass your job.

They’re paying you the minimum they can get away with, so pay them back in kind.

This is what game launchers looked like in my day.

If I wanted a different game I’d put in a different tape!

It’s probably the inbuilt browser component that seems to be in everything these days.

Chrome pulled support for Win 7 and 8 ages ago, so anything that relies on an up to date browser is sure to follow.

Gee, I wonder why it’s all AI generated horseshit from press releases these days.

The writing was on the wall when Jeff Gerstmann was fired over a bad review back in 2007. The whole game journalism industry has been on life support since then, and realistically been shafted ever since we went from purchased magazines to online.

Even then magazines would find themselves without timely review copies if they were not sympathetic to the need for good reviews.

Ain’t no ads on Jellyfin.

You plebs wouldn’t have to worry about childcare if you just sent those selfish brats to work down the mines!

Can’t be nagged about Windows 11 if you never switched to SecureBoot.

I think the main price issue is that they’re charging nearly twice as much as the base console for what is charitably going to be half a generation of gaming on it.

If it was launched this way on day one of PS5 launch it would have been a much more attractive proposition. But the reality is we’re probably like three years from a PS6 that will eclipse it in every way while running games this one cannot.

Good.

The PS5 is perfectly adequate considering it’s price.

It’s not like the PS4 gen where 4K suddenly became a thing halfway through and they had to pivot to support it. This is a needless upgrade. If you were already obsessed with graphical wankery and have more money than sense, the RTX 4080 and 4090 are right there.

Meanwhile Final Fantasy XIV is doing a collaboration with hair dye.

Not even people who say “on accident”?

But spoken it’s fine. It’s could’ve.

It’s when that gets written as “could of” that it becomes an abomination…

I’d be amazed if he does any of it tbh. Last time he just spent most of it playing golf, and sticking his goofy-ass signature on anything they stick in front of him.

The last thing they want to do is actually deal with the boogeyman issues. If they did that they’ll have nothing to campaign on next time.

Most of this will be spent lining their own pockets.

Block the lot.

We don’t need US far right propaganda.

We have our own.
