That was apparently a JSON handling bug.

And everyone knows that can’t be amended.

His goal is but another amendment away.

At that price there would have to be some pretty compelling arguments to upgrade.

Half a generation for up to 40% more raytracing power isn’t worth it.

A full generation for 2-3 times what a PS5 can do? Maybe.

Even then, there would have to be some damn good exclusives on PS6 to be worth your while. PS4 to PS5 was an easy argument, games ran at 30 pretty much all generation, mostly due to a comically underpowered CPU, and now they run at 60.

I’m struggling to even conceive of a worthwhile game that would bring a PS5 to its knees. I haven’t really seen a good argument for raytracing yet. Sure, nicer reflections, more accurate lighting, but we were pretty good at faking those anyway. Cyberpunk and Metro look really nice with the RT only editions, but they were perfectly playable without it.

We should really draw a big line under RT once it reaches a certain level of power, and go back to affordability. Game devs can’t put food on the table just catering to insanely high end hardware. My PC is still rocking a 1060. On the Steam hardware survey, there’s only one GPU higher than the X060 series inside the top ten. Budget hardware has got to be the focus.

You lose weight in the kitchen.

You gain muscle in the gym.

The first of those is honestly harder, which is why I’m still overweight.

Next you’ll be telling me the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is truthful in only one of those words.

It’s quite common for political parties to include things in their name that they’re not the slightest bit interested in.

The Libertarian Party is, as far as I can tell, a bunch of conservatives who want to pay even less tax.

Aaaand they’re gone.

I wish they’d price the higher capacity ones more appropriately. SSDs are cheap.

All they had to do was keep adding the games as DLC.

I’m going to assume whatever they’re talking about either involves a tatty plastic peripheral, or some predatory mobile bollocks.

The price gives it away

RSS is what we had before algorithms that just pick adverts and far right fuckery.

I assumed this was a chat between two men tbh

Takes me about 10 days to get through a loaf, depending on what we’re eating.

I don’t know any type of better bread that would last that long outside of a freezer.

TVs have been available in 120Hz and VRR for a while now. Even my 2017 OLED supports 120Hz, albeit only at 1080p.

That said, I don’t see the need to chase that with more expensive hardware. Any game with a choice of performance vs resolution, I find myself swapping to performance mode. I can see extra frames, I struggle to see extra pixels.

I’m not sure the disc drive can be saved at this point. There’s big games that didn’t even come out on disc, like BG3.

Just put it in the freezer in the bag it comes in.

Most of this shit has been frozen before it reaches the supermarket anyway.

Not even Branston beans. What a disgrace.

Sure, but there’s a world of difference between a steak and a slice of Billy Bear mystery meat.

Nobody shits themselves with a solid.

But there’s a small chance of it making a printout on your underpants.

So The Handmaid’s Tale then?
