Not enough.

Interesting. One of these came included with the last Seasonic PSU I bought. Do you have a link with more information maybe?

I already spend an hour of troubleshooting a bunch of problems trying to play modern games on Windows 10/11

Thinking Max likely isn’t returning then as promised at the end?

There’s nothing saved on my system I couldn’t afford to lose. All my work stuff is saved in Google Drive for better or worse. I have a few small files in a personal Proton Drive that I backup manually. I wipe my own system a few times a year and I rarely ever save anything first. Honestly very refreshing to live your life like that. Other than my cat, pretty much all my possessions could disappear tomorrow and I’d get over it pretty quickly.

If you don’t mind first person, it’s one of the better modern horror games I can think of.

I remember seeing the trailer for it about a year before it came out. Think it was during the coming attractions for a different indie film. My initial reaction was like wow that looks horrible. Like I assumed it’d be a campy romp that might find an audience, but maybe 25% on RT max. No one was more shocked than me to see it winning 5 Oscars including best picture lmao.

I thought this was going to be like the old web browser falling sand game. Disappointed it’s not but this still looks pretty fun.

Is there any chance that companies are using the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices when they wanted to anyway? Like a lot of these companies have more money than God already. They could eat the extra cost and be fine. Seems like they’re just being greedy to me.

Microsoft has seen itself as a platform company harkening back to the Ballmer days. That’s what his infamous “developers developers developers” coke fueled rant was all about. They make the bones of a platform and count on 3rd parties to build it out into something usable. If that never happens, the project is DoA. If that does happen as intended, they just buy the companies that do it best.

Kind of a misleading headline. They have a working prototype. Nothing even close to ready to ship.

How many 8 year old computers still function halfway decently? Most of those people are probably due for an upgrade whether they know it or not.

Even if we go with this popular narrative, no one is actually going to immediately run to throw out their working Win10 PC when Microsoft cuts off updates. They’ll just continue to use it insecurely. Just like millions of people did and still do with Win7.

This is the issue with using a proprietary operating system in general. Eventually they’ll cut you off arbitrarily because there’s a profit motive to do so. Relying on them to keep your system updated and secured indefinitely is a naive prospect to begin with.

Somewhat old CPUs are 8 years old+ now? Windows 11 is crap, but I don’t think the hardware requirements are the reason.

Totally agree with most of what you said. Trust me, I’m ready for a new Civ game. Just don’t feel like getting gouged especially for a series that routinely goes on deep sales.

I would’ve bought it day 1 assuming reviews come back okay, but I refuse to ever spend $70 on a base game. I’ll wait for a sale if that’s what they’re charging.

There’s no Clash of Clans style micro transactions if that’s what you’re concerned about. There’s not pay to win. The in-app purchases are just for more content. The Anthology bundle should include everything from what I can tell.

This is how I become radicalized.

I don’t think Nintendo will ever do it. Goes against their most basic philosophy.

Haven’t seen anyone mention this, but a lot of the times if you’re quick you can just click reader mode and the whole page loads.
