    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    We'd talked a little bit earlier in the thread about how bad Frys has gotten in some places. Sad is an understatement. This is where I bought my 1080ti, and now you can't even buy a TV there. None of the signage has been changed either, school supplies where networking and hard drives used to...

    Playstation 5

    Agree, though I think it should have been tied to PS Now and they rebrand that around the collection with streaming secondary. Either way glad to see Sony finally responding in some form to Game Pass, I'm sure that will all continue to evolve. Spider-Man remains my only reason to buy the...

    Stopped at a Best Buy tonight and they said they aren't expecting any inventory in their store for a month.

    Playstation 5

    I think in the context of these discussions it's more of a willingness to just not want to understand, or what my autistic niece's teacher calls 'learned helplessness'.

    Twitch.tv

    Facebook Gaming has music guys. https://www.facebook.com/fbgaminghome/blog/making-music-and-streaming-easier A big deal actually, since streaming on Twitch seems to be a game of paranoia and trip-mines these days for big streamers.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    This is pretty neat for some games. Minecraft Dungeons getting on-screen controls.

    It's cute, my wife thinks she spends as much on yarn as I do on my computer and gaming habit. Then again, I could be the naive one, we've got a lot of fucking yarn.

    Probably get a few more weeks of it, and then next quarter the copycat games of it and Fall Guys hit and we see if any of those stick, lol.

    Phosphine discovered in the atmosphere of Venus. "As far as scientists know, there are only two ways to produce it [phosphine], either artificially in a lab, or by certain kinds of microbes that live in oxygen-free environments. Since it is rather unlikely there any alien labs on Venus, that...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    My presumptions from that news until we get more specifics: - PS5 won't feature one of the two, but I expect they'll have one (MS is stating it's the only console with both) - They specified 'for games' since it was supported in some form on prior consoles only for video playback

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I mean, that makes sense, doesn't it? One X titles typically target a higher resolution than the entire concept the Series S is built around. Will make for some interesting analysis/comparisons closer to release.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Sony's made that mistake before, iirc at one point PS3 had lost them so much money early on that it consumed practically all the profits from the PS2 era. Attributed in part to it being the cheapest Blu-ray player so the game attach rate was ass.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I see it as they've established their store, and returning to Steam expands it's reach further, because you still need Origin to play those games on Steam. They posted record annual profits in March, live services (in-game purchases, subscriptions, advertising) generate the majority of their...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    How would it be getting its butt kicked? If it weren't for Game Pass it would be one of the best deals in gaming on its own and there's no overlap. I get the hate on EA but their games are extremely popular.

    NFL Streaming Thread - 2017/18

    I'm not sure because I largely don't watch it. There's also no offered packages really anywhere for College Football stuff outside of RSNs I think? Anyways, they carry a bunch of RSNs (this is my browser stretched through to another monitor and im too lazy to edit). Not pictured below: Bein...

    Marvel's Avengers

    Needs a lot of QOL. Big Marvel fan but can only really play it a mission or two at a time. Just not having to press the tactical view button over and over to track down my objective and other players would go a long way for me.

    You already have Game Pass, Microsoft doesn't care if you find the newer hardware compelling or not, they just want you in their ecosystem in whichever form you're most comfortable participating in it. There is value to just seeing people on your friends list playing a game, is a point the...

    Best Sports Game of All Time

    NCAA 14 for me. Play it occasionally still via a PS3 emulator. The coaching carousel and the replay-ability that provides is my favorite feature ever introduced in a sports title

    NFL Streaming Thread - 2017/18

    I find it's typically better than using official ESPN or other Network streams, likely because it's the raw feed from a similar service without the ads and other things going on using the official sites. I think most of the time it's the exact same stream, presumably from another region or...
