Fears of running unsupported Windows are extremely overblown. When I was a teen I cracked my windows even though I owned it just to stop the constant annoying updates restarting my PC when I didn't want it to, I ran it for over 5 years, no VPN etc at the time either. Nothing happened. Also as an...

They weren't, I played on release in triple monitor surround mode, 7680x1440 resolution, ultra settings. Borderlands has always been easy to run, which as mentioned is mostly due to the art style. The PhysX effects in 2/PS btw were amazing, do miss those. Nope, Denuvo. Also gross. Completely...

Yes you are, very easily in fact. 20x my income means I could live for 20 years on it, that's just basic math. Sounds like a great deal, work for 2 years, retire and live in luxury the rest of your life on interest/dividends/etc and possible hustle/personal hobbies just doing what you enjoy. In...

I'll point it out as often as it needs to be. There is no real world impact on gaming from your CPU if it's from any time in the last 10 years. This has been proven with recent benchmarks going back to 10 year old i5's losing less than 10 FPS compared to the current gen CPU's both matched with a...

Yeah right lol. I can't recall a single search I've done where the AI answer at the top of the page wasn't wrong. Literally wrong, or useless. Also Google actually does produce the most consistently useful (non-AI) results for me so I don't agree with people saying it's just users moving to a...

They took so long Ducky which usually use Cherry made their own inductive switches for their keyboards. I would be interested but not many of the fancy custom keyboard brands make actually useful models with a numpad. Plus I'm still extremely happy with my Ducky Shine 7, the volume keys I use...

As someone using a large e-reader with Kaleido 3 panel for books/comics/manga it's easy to see how such a monitor would be incredible for a very very very particular set of use cases, writers are the obvious one but I can think of plenty more. Useless for anything else sure, but it's not the...

I have Gamepass (because it's incredible value which continues to surprise me for years and saves me enough money to purchase more games/support devs on Steam), I still get these notifications even when I literally have the app open! Now that's crazy. Clicking 'dismiss' once a week wasn't enough...

"improvements over the X1C" I mean I know it has to compare to something I guess, so why not old flagship with new flagship, but completely different model at a different price point doing a different thing and which will co-exist with not replace the X1C. It just seems a bit apples and...

I'm a little surprised so many here are the kind of people who use their PC just for internet browsing/casually (ok not that surprised given the clueless comments I often see), or the other extreme someone whose work etc is very specialized or technical in a way suited to Linux specifically in...

I can't wait to replay this one day with ray tracing enabled, my old 1080TI could hardly run it on high back on release before RT, but even then it was still incredibly beautiful

I was recently playing the ancient Ninja Gaiden 1 Sigma on Xbox, extremely dated in many ways, fighting the camera and controls is half the difficulty, but there's no denying why it's been an enduring classic series, when I was a young kid it was too hard for me lol so I never got into the...

I already have infinite battery, it's called a cable lol. Never understood the appeal of a wireless mouse, there are zero benefits only compromises, unless you really hate cables in which case as a fan of late 90's early 00's cyberpunk aesthetic we can't be friends

Reminds me of my old gen 1 Logitech G15

Anyone making their choice based on exclusives is foolish, most from both PS/XB end up on PC anyway, and actually take a look at how many true exclusives there are, not many. The vast vast majority of gaming is multi-platform titles which makes it a pointless distinction for most. Xbox has the...
