    Bioshock Infinite

    I mean, the original story is already pretty 'woke.' It basically equates Randian-style Libertarians to being effectively worse than Nazis. Lets not forget Bioshock Infinite which throws all of "born-again" Christian philosophy under the bus, and has a bunch of actual Marxist revolutionaries...

    Bioshock Infinite

    Bioshock Infinite was dramatically scaled back from it's original design. Probably a lot like Halo Infinite was... Maybe there's a connection.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    To be fair, most normal monitors are blindingly bright at anything above 40% brightness, so it might actually be fine. Basically, from what I'm gathering, the regular pixels can only get to 250 nits, but the local dimming QLED pixel layer can boost that brightness up to 1000.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    There's a lot of things on the spec sheet for that monitor that give me some pause. The contrast is great because it can do near true black, but it does not get very bright, which is probably how they avoid the burn-in.

    Yeah, it was incredibly fraudulent. Just like when we bailed out Wall Street to the tune of 1.5 trillion, then printed 4 trillion more via QE. Or when we sent C130s filled with palettes of $100 bills to Iraq and Afghanistan and at least 80 billion dollars worth went completely unaccounted for...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Starting to really hate PC Game Pass for what it does to my hard drives. Having invisible partitions and protected folders and secret mounted VHDs is not something I am ever going to be fucking cool with.

    So far the new computer has: Wouldn't POST at all without a BIOS flash. Bricked one SSD (or the SSD was shit and bricked itself the second day, not sure how though.) Doesn't like to boot from cold, has to loop 2-4 times depending how cold before it will start. Gets some sick benchies though...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    IDK Jurassic World having the old cast might be able to get so many memberberries going that it takes the crown. This movie looks fucking great from the trailers, but it might be too confusing and scary for broad appeal. There's some major cosmic horror vibes in this trailer, and while we...

    It wasn't an isolated incident, half the world disappeared and came back. I would think there would be a lot of paperwork and new laws to account for it.

    I love how the picture in the article is literally a first-gen Pentium. And now I'm pissed that I misplaced mine. I've got 2 486s, 2 early 2000s Xeons, an extremely sweet looking LGA-style UltraSparc IV+, and a Pentium II cartridge all within reach of me, but I can't find the Pentium 166 mhz...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Agreed on most points, but there's a good argument (but an untestable hypothesis) that someone else could have done a lot better with the same assets (specifically the Blizzard IPs) by investing in them very differently. There's no way to know, because you obviously can't re-run the experiment...

    Windows 11

    I've got Win 10 and Win 11 running on two different drives. So far the big draw of Windows 11 is that Windows doesn't look like dogshit with HDR turned on. It's also pretty fast.
