    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I mean, it's the same thing as a gas guzzling car. A computer that draws more electricity also produces more waste heat, which then has to be cooled by something, so it doubly contributes to your electric bill and energy footprint.

    I just don't need or want anything that draws that much power.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    At 4k, It's ~13.5% more performance for 10% more watts, so it actually goes up in price per performance. I'm really interested in seeing the 3070 launch. Hopefully I can actually buy one before December.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Most 2080tis were around 1400, 1700 dollars for a card isn't *that* insane if it's the best of the best. Not saying it's a great idea but I also think the 3080 FE is a little underpriced which makes the 3090 look more overpriced than it really is.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    It uses 10% more watts and gets 10% more frames, weird how thermodynamics works. Why is anyone surprised? If anything, I'd say that's quite the accomplishment to scale linearly like that.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Reducing loot is fucking stupid. That's not what makes Classic fun. In fact, it is the worst part of Classic by far. Every time I think about going back to Classic I remember in Vanilla when it took us like 16 weeks to see our first Drake Fang Talisman, and then remember it would go to Fury...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Those are some horrible numbers, there's gotta be some quality settings you can turn down. I'm not even attempting to get this game until I have a better card than my GTX 1080.

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    Well, they didn't just buy the brands and IPs, they bought entire functioning companies.

    Nintendo is in a totally different situation. They don't put cutting edge tech in their devices, so it's not a manufacturing yield issue. But for CPUs, GPUs and new consoles, the chip yields are so low at the beginning, like 90% of the chips are basically scrap, and they're selling new product...

    Anyone else really like this movie? Not a lot really happens in the movie, it's just really well written and has a great cast.

    Felidar Retreat is the most broken rare in the sealed/draft format if anyone is keeping track.

    I don't even know if I'd pick that card in draft. That's a tough build-around.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Even back when overtime was a complete free-for-all, no one from first shift ever wants to cover for second shift, because all the business processes change for second and third shift. Instead of 1 job you do 6 jobs, cover multiple products instead of just 1, dispatch field resources, emergency...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah it's 15% for second shift, 25% for third shift, and automatic time and a half on Sunday due to RI law, which makes my 12+ hour Sundays pretty fucking nice. The shift differential also applies to any managers on shift nights and weekends. Those shift differentials are the only reason...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We're so lean right now that no more than 1 person can take a day off on second shift, across all product teams. Yet 29 people can all take the day off on first shift the Friday before Labor Day, because they're all redundant and fucking useless anyway.

    Do you even play this game? That sounds fucking awful. I mean maybe as a meme variant format but not a real format.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I bought it for 11 dollars. This game is above-average and entertaining. I wonder if EA is going to ever make a real ME game again.
