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

    W-2235 Launch Date Q4'19, there's definitely much better out there these days. I'm not really sure I've ever understood the Xeon laptop SKUs though.

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

    I feel the exact opposite. 4 year old laptops are slow as shit. Your company must be buying the wrong laptops. You want workstations with H or HK series CPUs, not U or G series CPUs. The 12XXXH and 13XXXH series laptop CPUs are so unbelievably fast and efficient compared to any previous...

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

    You realize that all mobile devices have GPU cores in them too, right? And that Intel has been pushing laptop CPU power efficiency very hard the past decade. Your stuff about battery life is basically magic, short of some entirely new materials science, you only get there based on continual...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Alien is way better than Aliens. Empire Strikes Back is so good because the heroes lose at the end, something almost nobody in storytelling has the balls to do.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    It's mostly just typical middle-trilogy problems. I think people are mostly overstating the problems with the story. But it's also really obvious that they blew their load with the story in the first one and had nowhere to go after that. The first one had a pretty unique story arc that's hard...

    2-3 major disappointment. Lost to misplays more than bad deck construction. This is very close to the dream 60-card Yorion companion draft deck and didn't get there.

    7-2 Made the best possible City on Fire deck and still didn't bother casting City on Fire any time I drew it even when I had plenty of creatures to convoke it. Lesson: Don't bother with City on Fire.

    Inflation only matters to rich people when working people demand more money. Rich people don't care about 10 dollar bananas. That's the whole joke. The only way to make working people better off is if there's a huge surplus of stuff being produced, so stuff gets cheap. We had that for a long...

    My META position was only like 800 dollars but this still is fucked, also considering how much I could have bought when I was told by people I trust that it was drastically oversold.

    Someone let me play with their TRS-80 when I was 4 and gave it to me when I was 6 or 7. Didn't really teach myself BASIC until I was 8 but I could load the stuff from tapes myself before then. I didn't get a real computer until my 486 50mhz SX2 which was a complete and total useless piece of...

    The last format was stupid. I looked at it and didn't play it once. This format is very skill-testing. The drafting portion is difficult and actually playing the games has a ton of decisions as far as sequencing, mana usage, and making the correct attacks. I have made a few very dumb...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    That would be a huge departure from the final mission we got in the base game. I'm not surprised though, the big missions at the end of the Frozen Wilds DLC were much better than the final arc of the main game as well. This company needs to prune the shitty side quests and devote more effort...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Anyone should be able to post a review, but for your score to get aggregated into the total you should have to link an account to the review site with a trophy or whatever for getting out of the tutorial area. This would stop a lot of shitty takes on a lot of games. Not just this, but the...

    The code-writing ability of AI has been vastly overstated, mostly by people who have not written code, or by people who code a lot but are shilling for people to buy GPT 40 subs. What it can do is impressive for what is effectively interactive autocomplete, but the idea of fully automated...

    That commentary is intentionally dishonest. A 'review' of a game you don't own and didn't play is not a review, it's just a lie.

    That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about at the renderer, not the at the scene modeling. As in, the next frame is based on deviation from the previous frame, using an AI model, rather than tessellation and rasterization.

    I'm just talking about the DisplayPort connectors still being 1.4. Not very future-proof, and not even using that ironically.
