I got the Amazon email as well but I don't have any other options. I have a daughter who is full-on fucking beaming about getting the console day one, though, so I will keep looking and buying them until we get a solid deal. I would bet Amazon comes, though, for most people. Our Prime is...

I haven't played it for a while but found I sucked at it. Maybe I suck less now? Supergiant is amazing, though. Music, art, and story for all their games are through the roof; they are one of the few developers that really make the games-as-art-not-commerce arguments come to life.

I've decided that unless I win one, I all going all in on AMD this time, unless they just flat out flop. Then I will buy whatever is best after Oct 28th that fits in a NZXT H1. Or whatever, I have PCs with a 2080TI and 1080TIs respectively. I will survive until Q1 when this shakes out.

Sincerest thanks. I don't know what to say.

That's what I get for fucking working another stupid 14 hour day. My boss (who is on vaca this week and is a super cool dude) texted me and said: Presale started!!! we chatted as my BB cart refused to load and I was thinking, I guess they jumped the gun. Then I flip to twitter where EVERYONE...

Look I love it when Mist isn't saying things that make say WTF or GDMT but 2 pages of this in the NEW VIDEO CARD THREAD is killing my joy over new pixel things. I am thrilled you have a 900 sq ft house you don't like on a 2 acre plot near the beach with your computer in the hottest room in...

Its also slowed down to almost nothing. 7mph when I last looked. Supposedly may shift further east. NO not even in the cone any longer, taking direct aim at Mobile, though, and will be a huge rainmaker, particularly if it slows down any more. Edit: All of this is taken into account by the...

I have explained this a number of times but for those in my circle who are less technically proficient, who balk at spenting $500+ on video cards, who don't keep up with their drives but who still want to play games, its just so much easier to when they ask me what to buy: An Xbox. Everything...

25 bucks a month for 24 months for a (mostly) next gen console that includes Game Pass, EA Play, and X Cloud that lets you play all of those games on iDevices; 35 bucks a month for the top of the line 4K version of that. Sony is fighting the last war and doing a great job; all the exclusives...

This is why the long stare down. If they were all $499, nobody would have needed to blink. Amazing how quickly the tables have turned and the pressure is on Sony, again.

So my wife said "Are we going to do anything about this Cuties thing?" All I knew was the promotional photo kerfuffle and told her "no, Its just stills from the movie, what are you doing to do, you can't fight every battle, blah blah". Since I have introduced her to the KulturKampf she has...

I would say on both fronts, let's wait and see. I think they might beat Intel in gaming or at least get super close. My last machine I am (re)building is a 9900KF with a 2080TI; this time I expect to build a smaller (NZXT H1 with whatever fits graphics card and Zen3). I started to disagree...

I have never adjusted to the smaller 1/4" needles. Of injectables I take 4-6 shots of Humalog and 1x shot of Lantis and its 50 bucks for each for 3 months worth. The more expensive thing is the Dexcom G6 CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) sensors, those things are more like 100 bucks a month...

I mean controllers for people with meathooks and controllers for people with dainty butterfly grips?

You aren't wrong; there are a LOT of elements from his other movies, more of which I think I touched on in my initial post. This is the most Nolan of all Nolan movies for better AND worse. It's so self-referential as to almost be Tarantino-esque. I still love it, though; I mean, after the...

I haven't played since we won Delve and moved all my stuff. it was indeed the Horn of Goondor. A full decade since I signed in; I remember almost nothing about the game, I am going to have to recompile the kernel. Game looks great, in 4k, though. I have reading to do.

Anyone here have the inside scoop on the big war going on? I got an email asking me to rejoin for what was described as the largest war in Eve's history.

It's pretty clear to me he has this idea about objects moving backward in time that serve as the basis of a Bond film, and then from there he crafts/utilizes/bolts on (pick your verb depending on your affection for Nolan) other parts of his oeuvre (Memento-Keeping the audience in the dark...

I have a mini-ITX to go in a NZXT H1 waiting on a Zen3 to populate it. The only thing I don't like about the Mini-ITX is the lack of options. Want more M.2/NVME drives? Nope. Want to add another card of any variety? Nope. Multi-Fan coolers/Swap power supplies, etc? I mean the list goes...

I am hoping the X670 has more of a presence in the Micro-ATX space. There are a number of cases I wanted to build in but AMD stranglely only has B550 chipset boards or below in mATX; I am hoping X670 changes that. Also; I think that the Oct. 28th isn't a "submission to nVidia" but just a...

I also need to check the yacht dates in my answer earlier, because despite my memory of them they don't make sense in the context of the movie. Formatted for readability and I like intrinsic's use of Bold better than my highlighting inline answers.

I thought I had a line on what you were trying to say but the more I read it, the less I grasp the point you are trying to make. The movie is much more about specific entropy for an object's particles and it's position in the flow of time, "pissing in the wind" as The Protagonist" calls it, or...

From what I am reading, this mostly due to how the Dolby theaters perform. Give it a shot in a non-Dolby theater next time but I admit given how much theaters are piling on to get people out of their houses these days, you would think they would take the time to either optimize their sound...

Sadly, nowhere.

I was really thinking of physics of various sorts but I guess you could probably have PhD's in Horology? Hyperbole? Mostly likely, if not those, then this: or

I completely disagree and challenge anyone to find any paradoxes in the movie that have to be "hand-waved" away. That just isn't how Nolan does things. I guarantee there is a movie "bible" and this plot has been storyboarded and mapped out to death. There is an explanation: It may not be the...

I see most of my movies at IPIC, which is a smaller theater that serves food. I guess if someone is seeing this in a theater with a different sound set, oriented to a different mix/has to be much louder for a larger space, it could change that. That must suck but I nearly went mad when I took...

It's not that it's hard to follow, they deliberately hide stuff from the audience and some of the characters right up to the end. It unfolds slowly, taking its time and reveals what it is (we know more about what it is, thanks trailers) to its participants. It's Memento-level audience...

Why the hell would they sell a 10Gb card early other than the fact they are scared? As much as I am dying to buy new stuff, I am going to hold off until I see AMD Big Navi/RDNA 2.0 in action.

Australians have mouths that are too laterally big for their faces. This girl has one that is too vertically big for her face. In some pics its good, and in some, like the one above, its all teeth and gums. It makes her look neeiigghhborly. Must have to do with facial muscles and tendon...

Windows 8 an hour after upgrading: This sh*t sucks. What the hell? Windows 8 in 2020:

That was also in the time of the Cryptoboom and no competition, which has passed. You started being able to get 2080Ti's again for $999 Sept last year. As I understand it, most of these cards are on 8nm, which means that the 50% we thought we were getting became the 35% we are seeing and...

I thought this thread was going places.

Won't go anywhere past the Blue Light of Death, no signal of any sort. Trying to get into safe mode it just powers back off. Called Sony, they will do a repair for $100 and are sending me all the stuff to cross-ship it. If nothing else, hopefully it gets my kids save games back. If not, its...
