Drawn by a man. It's Japan, though, Hentai Weirdness powers activate! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai Also, same guy did a slightly more famous print you may have seen.

Marvel Heroes. <pours one out>

This movie weighed heavily on me. Growing up in the 80s, I wasn't scared of slashers or Freddy (I grew up in a community of hunters and a house with so.many.guns.) but what did scare me what the slow-moving apocalypse of the original "Dawn of the Dead". Zombies were an inexorable, inescapable...

I received mine on Monday so I may see if I can get a price adjust as well. That's a fair amount of money when I can just buy another one and return this one for another month.

I was tweaking all of my stuff when I first got it because I spent a fair amount on it, then I realized that the card never got hot and the CPU temp never got above 34-35C. It wasn't that long ago that you could get serious extra performance out of every single part if you worked at it but now...

Can you undervolt/fan profile it down to be more quiet? I hate that, I love Gigabyte as a brand and would have bought one if I could. XFX Mercury OC looks amazing, though. My Power Color Red Devil is thankful quiet.

Looking at $1100 Costco PC from 2019, best guess as to specs I could find were PCIE 3x, which may limit top end frame rate somewhat. PCIE 4x was common a the time but the machines listed seem to be more budget AM4 vs AM5 in current parlance, happy and hope to be in error in this regard. Some...

I readily admit its probably an oversized fear on my behalf; again, I had "image persistence", which is what they called burn in on early LCD monitors, when 15-17-19 inch LCD monitors were still state of the art. Really my manager has had his for 3 years now, not 2 and with active use, still no...

So the LG C4 is going to be the best latency you are going to get, period. I WFH and sit all day on screens with static elements and so have resisted moving to an LG or other OLED monitors for my main desk; I bought an ASUS 48 OLED but ended up putting it on my daughter's desk. When we were...

July 14th or 16th for that one.

Nintendo is the last console maker with a real exclusive ecosystem. Sony seemed to have real exclusives but now is just PC's cousin. MS/XBOX is just Trans PC but everywhere: ANYTHING IS AN XBOX, they say in a wrong pitched voice.

They were asking me what other games I wanted to buy, and the only thing that I could think of, "The Duskbloods?" which isn't a launch title. There isn't much that I recognized as non-specialized Nintendo stuff, everything else is pre-order. Even something I would have thought would have been a...

My daughter and I went to a smaller Game Stop here in town and got preorders for two Switch 2s w/ Mario Cart World today. Traded in my Xbox One and PS4 Pro and got 150 bucks for them, which was awesome and got them off my workbench. Will go back tonight at 11PM to get them. Was a super easy...

All of this. Asmon made a great point talking about today; games take too long to make and these companies are too big and too insulated from gamers and the audience to be successful. Sure, there is all the DEI/ESG/internal activist influence that drives these projects into the weeds, i.e...

I just downloaded and started this tonight, played through the prologue and got to the meadow. I need way more practice at parry and dodge at least on exhibiteer or whatever the mid diff is. I also wasn't warned that the main protag was fake modeled on Robert P but voiced by Charlie C. Now I...
