    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    I feel like most models of 4090s haven't even restocked since launch day at many vendors.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    Yeah, the reviews are a cacophony of disappointment to me. I'd rather pay more for RT and DLSS than deal w/ limitations and omissions at these price points and drivers that 'aren't ready' from a company notorious for shitty drivers.

    The language used makes it sound like every exclusive deal should result in an FTC review. That's absolutely part of it, they're open to concessions where it makes sense to alleviate 'consumer harm'. MS Response: Activision Response: A common sentiment:

    Everquest - Live Servers

    So is there any sign at all of a modern EQ game in any form coming? Every so often I login and just run around w/ Selos, on my 72 bard in mostly Planes of Power gear. I miss EQ, but I can't play this. Occasionally give the alternate ruleset servers a go, but nothing sticks.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's just fun to dragonride. Hard to really explain outside of that. It's fast and you have control. I'm really enjoying things, makes me not want to touch classic until Ulduar, thankfully Naxx/OS3D/EoE is a 1-night affair leaving the balance for tinkering with this.

    The new sub is a beast, and looks like my new towers will likely be the JBL 590. Monsters. Should be fun.

    4 hours in I'm enjoying it, but there's a lot of run around filler (much of it optional) some won't like between missions.

    Ah, so cool. After missions you can design a cover about it. Starts w/ a stock one for you to alter, Mills on Twitch just made this one.

    Yeah that's pretty incredible. Most aurora videos are just of the sky and don't have that added context of someone in the foreground, just makes it all that more incredible knowing it's not a time lapse or something. Unrelated, here's JWST looking at Titan. Related thread here -

    It's already a 9.2 ch AVR, I'd only really need to upgrade if I wanted to go 7.2 4, right? As it is I'm about to go 5.2.4, or am I about to hit a wall I didn't realize... Otherwise, what would be a good sign I need to upgrade, figured if anything this would be the piece I didn't need to bother...

    Pulled the trigger on the very well regarded Monoprice Monolith 10" sub. So with that, I'm down to replacing my towers, and then later probably adding rear surrounds. I'm tempted to try and go with bookshelf speakers instead of the towers (especially w/ a competent sub in the mix, and would...

    Yeah I poked around a bit briefly, usually when you have that kind of thing setup you can easily view the claim and the settlement terms - this is being done pre-emptively and the name of the case doesn't match how it was being represented on the site. I wouldn't give them any of my information.

    A bit of projection here from the company leading the charge in next-gen upgrade fees, the $70 game SKU and just increase prices in a number of regions.

    I thought the first was a solid movie, and made me interested in, if not a fan, of the character. Something other films have done as well as I was always an X-Men fan and not into the Avengers, Ant-Man, etc all that much. Good movies, stories and casting have left me hooked on all things MCU...

    So with PS+ subs down almost 2 million rather than growing w/ the debut of the tiered service, I wonder if that approach is putting their subscribers in a position to regularly reconsider it's value and leading to this churn.
