Back in the day I was quite outspoken about how much of a national security issue PiS politicians are because plenty of things they did were in Russia’s best interest. Turns out they are just as incompetent as the rest of the political class because there’s just no way of reconciling this and the fact that PiS gave away loads of our soviet-era weapons to Ukraine without any strings attached when second invasion began. I’m so bored of PO doing everything in their power to distract their voters from the fact that their government is catastrophically inept too.
I did feel they went too easy on some corpos, especially nvidia with series 50, but also amd and iirc they barely said anything about the Intel gen13/14 issues.
As someone who’s been following them for ages now, my understanding is that they say what needs to be said and move on when it comes to things that are beyond their control - personal opinions are for their weekly podcast. They could criticise pricing and customer hostile behaviour more but they seem to be very cautious about not contributing to unproductive negativity that’s so prevalent in video game commentary. Ultimately it’s up to consumers to vote with their wallets because talking about things doesn’t fix them. Blaming journalists for not speaking against things enough is not going to fix them either.
Current gen is a big improvement as to what’s expected and what’s delivered on 60FPS front. I really doubt 60FPS can be squeezed in GTA6 even from PS5 Pro given how it looks in trailers. I do hope that 40FPS performance modes become more common though, it’s way more achievable and still quite responsive.
Curious that Democrats don’t really distrust anything other than the most recognisable conservative outlets. Neither side seems to have a healthy view of media bias, especially with where WSJ is on the chart. I haven’t seen any major reporting of value coming from WSJ for ages now but they were genuinely fine before despite being ran by neoliberal vampires because it’s a bias that’s easy to correct for.
The only negative response they care about is the one they will feel financially.
I don’t get how EPP got idealised by the media so much. I mean, I get it, media serve big business, and so does EPP. Orban/Fidesz was in EPP for years and they were fine with that. Polish PSL (which would would be rightly called fascists by anyone who took a moment to look at what they represent) are still in EPP. EPP were always neoliberal brand of conservatives and have been behaving exactly as expected. I hate EPP with passion if it wasn’t apparent by now.
I must be living in some parallel dimension where unstable 30 FPS was the standard through nearly the entire previous console generation, even in non-open world games, which was still an upgrade from PS360 days. I wished I lived in your time continuum though.
You do realise Nintendo manufactures their stuff in Vietnam? Is it some rogue operation by Mecha Pol Pot or are you going to come up with some different head lore? xdddddd
I'm not sure about Windows specifically
That’s quite an important omission because we’re talking about Windows. Windows won’t run kernel or driver that’s not using expected certificates, what would be the point otherwise?
How did you come up with the idea that domestically produced hardware would have to be produced independently from Nintendo and not just Nintendo of America? xdddddd
I haven’t heard of this before and now I wish I didn’t because I can’t wait. I was burnt out on reboots but have recently seen a few that made me less bitter about them (Naked Gun, Rescue Rangers). Turns out you just need competent people who have genuinely good grasp on source material and Cavill looks like one.
Maybe they’ll do sequels this time? ;)
