I am 100% certain it will be worth it. FROM have never half-assed a game nor expansion, Elden Ring least of all.

It’ll almost certainly not run very well, but I still played 100hr of the base game despite its poor performance. I preordered too because I know regardless of technical state it will be worth playing.

Rip the people who suffer both, simultaneously.

Sean literally keeps sharing memes about the fact that he’s wayyy overpromising as if it’s endearing or something stupid. And they’re getting tens of thousands of likes.

*3 hour show + 30 min pre-show which still actually included a bunch of awards.

Exactly. I can’t believe how much praise people are giving Cyberpunk for not being broken anymore. Like bro that ain’t an achievement.

None of the things happening at Bungie are related to Sony at all, as the article states

It has constant awful shader compilation stutter.

Ashen, Nioh 1 and 2, The Surge 2

Transmission is awesome because it’s simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.

Yeah unfortunately I agree. I think Yong seems like a cool guy but his videos always start with a lengthy recap which anyone who watches his channel already knows from his previous video on whatever is recapped, and then he takes the longest possible route to explain the topic too.

I reckon if he made 5 min videos without all the fluff he'd be great.

1. Optimisation. Many, many games haven’t even had a proper baseline of optimisation let alone targeted optimisation for specific specs like consoles

2. The PS5 GPU is more powerful than a 2060, and as a newer generation architecture supports more features which can be leveraged to improve performance

3. The PS5 operating system is wayyy less taxing than Windows or any other OS because it does much less and does it more optimized

I agree to an extent, however the reason behind Google cancelling his ads is almost certainly not because Google doesn’t want to monetize as much content as humanly possible, but because they expect or know that their advertisers don’t want their ads next to an alleged (and possibly convicted in the future) rapist / sexual predator.

MacBook. Probably an M2 Air.

Obviously you should talk to your wife yada yada like everyone else said, but my opinion is that a MacBook would be best. Best battery life, screens etc plus the ecosystem stuff you mentioned with her iPhone.

Indeed but this highlights a fundamental issue with phones (and all devices): because Apple can continually monetize their devices with locked-in app stores and a litany of services etc they can easily afford and are incentivised to support devices for a long time.

Device makers third-party to platform ecosystems, like Microsoft to Android (but not Windows) find it extremely difficult if not impossible to gain these sorts of long-term monetisation which incentivises maximizing profits on the sale and then immediately dropping support.

I’m 24 and I see my best friend every few weeks, my other friends every few months if that.

Indeed

They weren’t investigated for antitrust for baking stuff into the OS - it was for monopolizing various sectors and strong arming users and competitors. They’re allowed to have their own browser preinstalled, they just have to let you switch easily and remove it etc.

Of course if you install Linux on most big brand machines you’ll have problems with drivers etc, so it’s not as easy a solution as one would hope.

None that offer similar quality across the board in display, speakers, input devices, performance, battery life. Trust me I’ve looked. Alternative laptops aren’t really any cheaper any more unless you get something of significantly lesser quality, in which case there’s nothing surprising about that - something worse is cheaper.
