Can't imagine a world where anything they come up with has any bite or actually correct any of the ongoing problems. The number of cases where justices should've recused themselves for conflicts of interests seems to just keep growing.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor director Stig Asmussen is leaving EA

to be fair, it only performs better in pure raster performance which most benchmarks focus on because AMD doesn't really have solid DLSS and framegen solutions. Plus Nvidia's ray-tracing perf is still generally better in most games. Sure FSR3 is coming, but even then FSR upscaling will never truly compete with DLSS. Ray-tracing though is still lagging (though they are making progress!)
Whether folks care about those or want to use them can vary a lot. Regardless, any competition to bring down the ridiculous prices of this gen is good.
I starting to believe the subscription groupthink may be what leads to our next economic depression. It's not sustainable for the majority of people, and as more things switch to subscriptions fewer people will be able to maintain theirs.
WHen it comes to accessibility, there's a ton of variability in what different people need. Controls are so important that Microsoft has many features to help gamers, including their adaptive controller and co-pilot features. Any UI feature that's awful will get magnified for a different group of people. Requiring a ton of button presses to navigate menus and get information that should be readily available can be significantly more time-consuming for people with some needs.
You're comparing the game to the status quo in an attempt to argue, when the complaints also apply to the other games. This makes the status quo comparison pretty useless as a point of basing agreements. The article's title clearly states that it's relative to Microsoft's standards -- not other similar games. Microsoft has invested millions of dollars to develop accesssibility features and improve the lives of many gamers. They have a number of options and features that may be improving some of these games in ways that you haven't used if you never make use of the features. Now that Bethesda is under Microsoft, one might expect them to utilize and improve some of these issues. As with many accessibility issues, many of the complaints they raise affect not just people who rely on accessibility, but they affect us all. I think just bringing attention to them is a good way to finally get them fixed.
Bethesda's menu system has been so awful for decades now, and they still repeatedly fail to fix it. It's so bad, it's usually one of the first mod fixes. They build their games around inventory management, and make it as tedious as is humanly possible, which because even more tedious if you have some challenges related to input.
There's some pink/purple swirls on there too! Definitely worth paying the paint tax!!!
Oh wow, yeah. that's too step. The gap here had narrowed during a recent sale to like 60-70$ and you probably could've used it longer than 3 years.
If you don't have a DR4 already, you might want to consider the thermalright peerless assassin, which is like half the price of the DR4 -- and performs better/around the same. If you've got some spare 120mm fans lying around, you can get it at the same noise level too.
German and English are the two I can fumble my way around. Having lived and traveled some, I could fumble some basics in a few others like Dutch. I know a bit of a few others. I can read enough to figure out what's going on in some contexts, and maybe speak enough to get around, but definitely can't carry on a conversation in them.
It's tough. There's only so many hours in the day, and while I do get to watch some videos on occasion, I sometimes have too many things going on. I used to watch movies I knew well in other languages, so I already knew the context and could piece together words and phrases. I don't have time for that anymore though.
I'd have to look back at benchmarks, but I think there's a few factors here - price and next upgrade. From what I remember those two were fairly similar in performance and just traded blows between games.
AM5 is still a bit more expensive as a platform, but you can probably get a decent board and possibly upgrade the cpu&gpu in a few years to save longer term if you do a partial upgrade.
The 13600kf build would likely be cheaper, but the 13th gen i think is the last before intel changes the socket. Your next build after this may be more expensive by needing more parts (depending on when you upgrade).
Depending on when you build, you might wanna check for deals on the 7800x3d as it's dropped to like 385$ recently. the uplift in some games is pretty substantial and it's a beast for gaming. If it drops below that, it may be worth using that over the 7700. If price is an absolute limit, you'll definitely save with the 13th gen intel.
Depends on how you use the computer. Is it just games?
Yeah some of this is just a marketing fail. They could’ve named them to sound like an upgrade and everything would’ve sounded like an upgrade.
Ive used pihole and also just removed the network’s settings.
If you want to stream, i don’t know how useful any of these mitigations are. You’re giving them some data to subscribe and use. Even if you share accounts, who knows what the apps collect.
holy shit. Somehow I didn't know about that. Thank you!
