Similar for me too, had a 980ti and then got a 6800xt a few years ago and I’m fine until about 2030 probably

I do think that as we get more and more ‘all on one die’ solutions that are good enough, coupled with the AI upscaling technologies, everyone other than the extreme enthusiast or enterprise users won’t need dgpus any more in a few years anyway.

I know it might not satisfy the highest of high end gamers but APUs are becoming more and more interesting these days for the more casual gamer. The steam deck already shows that they are viable options, and Apple silicon has massive potential if developers use Metal increasingly more. Even without it some games are running acceptably at least. I’m getting less interested personally in discrete GPUs as time goes on.

Probably because he expected for that sort of money for the only reaction to be people jizzing themselves

I dunno if you follow car stuff much. Chip shortage during COVID affected how many cars could be made. Manufacturers saved them for high margin high value cars. Already there is a smaller market for them. Plus, charging infrastructure in some countries is behind to the point where a lot of people are sticking to petrol. That’s the wider picture.

On top of that VW made a really good EV platform and then screwed it up with a cheap interior, glitchy software, and frustrating laggy haptic buttons everywhere on cars that weren’t exactly cheap. Why bother with that when you can get a Kia Niro (as an example) with more features, a massive warranty, more range, better interior for the same or less money?

GabeN quote still as relevant as ever

Too bad many of the people in my generation who grew up with GTA games stopped caring since we’re all middle aged now anyway.

Also the impact of a new rockstar game today is very different from what it was in the 2000s. There’s so much to play now that waiting a year isn’t that big a deal when you have a giant library of Steam games.

Heh same for me too

I mean this is probably why they’ve given up on making good games if they can make money anyway

This is also mentioned in the article

Literally what regulation is for though it has become a dirty word ever since businesses have essentially started running the world in place of monarchs

Yeah pretty much what I would expect from a business oriented website to offer counterpoints as ‘beliefs’ so that they are dismissed as ramblings from crazy people

Most sources suggest 1100s

For the hardware encoding side it used to be true before OBS introduced better AMD encoder support. I have a 6800XT and it works just fine for streaming casually, though I agree that if you stream professionally then Nvidia is the better option.

Hanging on the wall of my local guitar store about 15 years ago.

I’m not familiar with advanced access but I suppose the worry would be whether the game could be changed between then and the final release. If it can, then your play time might not represent the final product.

There are plenty of mechanisms that can be employed (as there already are in many countries) to ensure profit is not made from essential living. You either own or have strict rent control which tends to mean many properties are publicly owned. Recreational stay is different, it is part of a hospitality industry which provides an additional service on top of what fundamental housing provides.

I mean it’s still one of the most convenient ways of doing it and cameras are good enough these days that it doesn’t matter much if you don’t send the original file

Agree. It’s yet another case of underpaid and understaffed industries. If nobody wants to do a job because it’s too long and hard, it’s because 1 person is being expected to do the work of multiple people.

I’m kind of surprised at the reactions honestly. He’s even said this in interviews before, it’s a fun bit he does to comedically over-analyse any time a new sci-fi film comes out. I think he stopped or considered stopping for a while precisely because people took out the pitchforks and he didn’t want to ruin people’s fun, but I think the fact that many people enjoyed it swayed him to keep going.
