    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Also remember that there's a lot of rumors Jensen knowingly sold chips to middle men that would give them to China in violation of export laws, or at least looked the other way on the matter. If Jensen's dick is going to get them arrested for Treason, then the board should be kicking him out...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Yeah, all the chief engineers apparently reported directly to Jensen and he signed off on all the major decisions. Which makes sense why people like Johny Srouji (Apple's processor head) are rumored as who's being targetted. But to be clear, Nvidia's mid-term future was murky anyway. All the...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    For clarity, according to https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50459330/broncos-say-trade-chargers-lb-henley-not-finalized, the two teams were trying to renegotiate the picks involved _after_ the physical and the trade deadline, once the state of the knee was known. That's the part that really...

    Can you cancel trades after the deadline? Hell, can they even be non-finalized at the deadline?

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Again, they 'couldn't' make a DCU Batman since they already had the Matt Reeves Batman. And those constant resets are why Gunn went with Superman in the first place - if you look at the classical Justice League lineups, they already had very recent Flash, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman movies (hell...

    "Resigned" And yes, the timing seems odd. Is it the security apparatus trying to remind the Democrats coming into power that China is our only real adversary? That apparatus telling China that not all the US government will roll over if Taiwan gets invaded once a Dem president is in in 2029...

    VisionQuest

    Weird of Marvel to admit that more of the Doomsday leaks are true, otherwise there's about 90 total minutes of decent show in this series, depending on if you like the meta-TV stuff in the finale.

    World of Warcraft: Forever

    I've bounced off of Forever pretty hard. My opinion hasn't changed in decades: travel time isn't content. It's just downtime that (nowadays) virtually everyone spends out of game, whether alt-tabed, on a second screen, or on their phone. Whether that's manually traveling to dungeons every time...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    To be fair, everyone knew Mendoza was starting one of these months, Kirk was the least critical starting QB of the bunch. Yeah, having him as backup later in the season would 'help', but its not like the Raiders are going anywhere this year.

    Untitled James Bond Film

    Pattinson's already years older than Craig was and they haven't even started filming, when they want a new guy that the new ownership can stick with for years, and Craig had no other commitments, vs Pattinson w/ Batman. Don't get me wrong, Pattinson was charming as a defacto spy in Tenet, and...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I believe the original plan was a Starlord solo movie after GotG 3 - if I recall correctly, the GotG 3 credits say 'Starlord will return', not the Guardians as a whole - but that fell apart with the DCU hiring. Edit: Pulled it up on D+, the blurb was 'The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return'. Now...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    To be clear: Gunn is still directing Superman 2. Gunn and Safran's producing deal is still active - they still are involved with anything like Gorilla Grodd that they were signed to. Gunn and Safran can still pitch new shows / movies to DC's new leadership, whether to produce or direct, and...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    The NFC North getting this year's NFC South and AFC East in the rotation is pretty handy. The Packers are about to be 6-3... and the fourth place team in the division. I still think at least one NFC North team gets knocked out of a wildcard slot in favor of the NFC West, but those wildcards...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    It was a completely noob QB, on a short week, against a rough defense, in a storm. Oh yeah, and they don't have the offensive line to go run heavy (if not all run). But the larger issue is the Ravens are much closer to a rebuild than a championship. I still think the actual reason Harbaugh was...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    SF does not want Aiyuk, but just because his 2026 salary was voided doesn't mean he doesn't carry a dead cap value - if Spotrac is to be believed with his weird situation, it's still nearly $32M on the cap. So yes, I would expect SF keeps him to the trade deadline hoping to get _something_ for...

    Untitled James Bond Film

    Do people really think Pierce Brosnan was physically imposing? Or Roger Moore? Yeah, he's too soy for the violent brute category, but it just makes the babyfaced killer role more believable. At some point you have to start admitting that for pop culture, The Age of Gen X is Over. The Time of...

    They're about to be .500 and playing up to rivals. That's not how you describe a contender, that's how you describe a feisty rebuilding team that's a year or two away.

    Man, the Seahawks aren't any good right now. I'm not sure it matters. Between the 49ers / Rams / Seahawks / Vikings / Bears / Lions / Packers, only two of those teams aren't going to the playoffs. If you assume the Packers are out of it, the Seahawks just need to beat out one team between the...

    Nice of the Rams to let the Chargers have a lead for a little bit. Edit: I'm not sure anyone on earth had Week 16's Chargers / Dolphins game as the 2026 tank bowl. The disturbing thing is I am not sure it even will be a tank bowl, or if the Chargers will have the #1 pick locked up by then.

    Yeah, Dragon Age Veilguard 'came out' almost exactly two years ago. What the hell were they doing for that long, and why did EA's executive suite give them that much rope? The least ridiculous thing I can come up with is the buyout talk had started much earlier than publicly admitted, and EA...

    That does seem expensive for the Bears, but the Titans are eating $14M in 2026 and $21M in 2027 in cap as part of this. Then again, the Titans had the most 2026 cap space, and the 10th most 2027 cap space, so they can eat it without too much problem. It does present a PR problem in that the...

    Rumors of the Packers' offensive line survival have been greatly exaggerated. And now they have the Panthers / Patriots / Vikings before a 'short' bye (they play the Wed before Thanksgiving) against the Rams. I really don't consider them a real wildcard contender, especially now.
