Looking for an IPT (or others) invite as well. Previously have only used public trackers but have recently been joining private trackers and indexers in search of better options and/or specific torrents not available elsewhere. Have 600GB+ upload in past month on TL.

I can tell you with 100% absolute certainty: 1. I will never buy any multiplayer game, not even on sale for a single penny, that allows player run servers but then includes this DRM to prevent mods made for those servers. 2. I will never buy any singleplayer game, not even on sale for a single...

That's a myth that they are available to OEMs - not sure where it originated but i've seen it repeated on the internet several times. There isn't a single OEM offering any of the three to consumers (EDIT: or businesses) anywhere in the world at any time since either the Aug 2022 or June 2023...

Who cares. Where the hell are the A40, A50, and A60? The A40 and A50 were announced a freaking year ago! Then they announced the A60 a couple months ago. Why do they even bother saying anything when all three are still vaporware?

I stopped watching when he got to the topic of the Madison accusations and took the position that in any case where someone is accusing another of harassment, people should assume the accused is guilty until proven innocent. Talk about a bad take - can only imagine how bad the rest of his takes...

Agreed if it is a game I think I might eventually play. But there are games I know are definitely in a genre I have no interest in playing myself, but simultaneously have an interesting story that makes it entertaining to watch a *good* "Let's Player" play. If the game doesn't have an...

Hope it's good. But I get to play after the fixes / mods. My RPG backlog is kind of big. I just started playing Morrowind for first time (and modded too of course - I don't believe in playing moddable games vanilla). Modded Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 4 Next-Gen, BG1, BG2, BG3 are all on the...

What's more crazy about the Labs thing is that they are not even focusing on one area first - which is part of the whole theme of GN's criticism - massive continous expansion with disregard to quality. They are trying to setup automated testing for a whole bunch of different kinds of...

Several different but all related YouTube channels, Floatplane (a "backup" streaming service in case something happened to YouTube) which was not as successful as they hoped but still has thousands of subscribers, and their official "merch store". I believe sometime within the last year they...

I could care less about this manufactured drama about the "jokes" in the video. But it shows they are dumb and/or not thinking clearly in their panic. The responses are once again supposedly Linus himself posting. In their own self-interest, Yvonne and Terren need to officially put the Chief...

I'm not saying she is definitely not telling the truth. What I'm saying is that there is a clear red flag that her story might have significant inaccuracies and bias and that people should not be judging LTT on the basis of what she says - only actual related evidence provided by her or others...

I'm skeptical on the whole thing. She made a LONG list of very different kinds of workplace issues, including some "go to" stories for people trying to get attention for ulterior motives. Would be hard to believe that ALL of that hasn't come out before. But maybe LTT was just lucky. However her...

I completely agree, but the only way for written content to exist is for enough people to pay enough for it so that it has the same or greater return on investment as free ad-based videos. But consumers aren't willing to do that.

There have been some claims that this was a one-off comment from one over-enthusiastic employee (that was left in the publicized video nonetheless). I don't think the comment, whether it was scripted or not, really matters much. Let's not give LTT/LMG room to scapegoat that employee. What...

I have defended LTT's intentions in the past, but if this video is even significantly accurate (does not even have to be 100%), this makes LTT / LMG / Linus look REALLY bad. Not just their words, not just their actions...worse...it makes their intentions look bad. Linus and that new CEO need to...

He doesn't appear to be arguing there is a problem with diversity. He is arguing that there is no world-building integrated with it, which further degrades the show on top of the far bigger problem you already mentioned: bad core storytelling.

I am a bit different, but the same end result with Apple. Sometimes I actually am willing to pay the very high "luxury brand" tax because the competition have flaws that annoy me too much. The "top of the line" of the competition are not high quality products - they are just "medium quality"...

Yeah a few months back I bought Dell's 1080p 240hz IPS, which is one of the best 240hz 1080p monitors available. Direct from Dell for only $20 more than this one.

That seems to be the consensus I read, but the problem is I keep reading that their line-interactive UPS models are loud due to cheap cooling design, whereas APC/CyberPower line-interactive models I don't read that complaint often. Of course, I see the complaint for all online /...

I disagree even with indie studios getting a pass, much less the AAA studios. The indie studios have to offer something innovative/unique, even if by budget necessity their games fall short in other areas. If all they are doing is offering the same type of game, with nothing innovative, just...

You know that list of favorite discontinued foods at the grocery store over the years? Yep, that was me :( I had started regularly buying those.

The graphics are jarring, but not enough to stop me from playing. The problem is: it's boring as hell so far. Same ole Battlefield (and undercooked at the moment in early access) we've seen from many years ago. Just spawn, randomly shoot / get shot, spawn again, randomly shoot / get shot, spawn...

What annoys me is that there are no professional/expert comparisons or reviews of UPS options. Any comparisons you find online, even the ones not written by a bot, are clearly non-expert and are comparing purely based on the marketing of each product, which obviously isn't useful at all.

Good. Less holding back modern games due to old hardware. But studios still need to optimize without using it as an excuse to release un-optimized games, so that there is actual advancement and not just one step forward, one step backwards.

Noticed all of a sudden just about every day a UFO post is on the front page of Reddit. Those guys are hilarious. I mean if someone is interested in learning about that topic, go for it. But don't suspend all rational thought and scientific evidence, believing all the conspiracy theories...

I'm not saying the protests are bad nor that Reddit is acting in good faith. Reddit and their ownership/leadership is garbage. I'm just saying that the vast majority of consumers, including Reddit users, will not pay for an ad-free, data-collection-free service, which is what is required for...

Yep, exactly. But to my knowledge there is no good competing platform. Reddit is in effect shutting down all APIs and third-party support to try to force people into more advertising intrusions and privacy-invasive data collection. Yet the people protesting, along with all the people not...

Couldn't care less about graphics as long as a minimum level is met. Gameplay, UI, and writing is all that matters. Even audio is often more important to immersion than better graphics.

That pretty much applies to 4x games too doesn't it? The games are even much shorter because you run out of new things to do so quickly. However, I do agree that Paradox games have much less depth than they potentially could. How popular a more in-depth game will be? Not sure. There are...

I was watching a Let's Play of Control due to the huge praise surrounding it. I do that sometimes for singleplayer games of genres I know I don't like to actually play myself. People said its story was interesting too. Yet watching it...seemed to be one of the most boring/repetitive games...

Hope it is actually a grand strategy game and not just a 4x Star Trek game marketed as also a grand strategy. 4X games are fun to play once in a while, but they are just completely outclassed by modern grand strategy games.

The GPU? Simply because these Intel Arc Pro A-Series GPUs are the only one with Dolby Vision lol. But even though this thread is talking about the top-end of the three, even the lowest A40 is supposed to have DV. So that one will probably be fine for an HTPC, unless you end up also running...

Not joking - this is potentially the most exciting GPU release since at least 2016. If they ever actually get these things on the shelves (it was supposed to be last year), these will be the first GPUs to have Dolby Vision support. So assuming applications provide proper support, home theater...

Not if you look at their flagship X3D part, which uses slightly faster X3D cores than the 7800X3D, but then simultaneously dumps a bunch of non-X3D trash on the other side, that their firmware/drivers cannot even properly assign to different tasks. Even worse than the e-cores.

Agreed. And I wasn't a fan of Outer Worlds either. Out of all the various games mentioned, I thought that one was the weakest of all. I don't know if it would have been better had I picked a lower difficulty level, but when playing on highest difficulty, I just got bored of it and quit at or...

Seems this thread is talking about all kinds of opinions on several related games and genres that has stirred up my opinions, so will give them real quick :) Witcher 1? One of my all-time favorite games. Fantastic atmosphere, great moral themes, great role-play, excellent characters, excellent...

To even consier it I will wait for it to be: 1) on OLED monitors 2) compatible with G-Sync enabled simultaneously 3) either not exclusive to Nvidia or when Nvidia isn't making all their sub-90 class cards either insanely overpriced or crippled with low VRAM Think I will be waiting a long time.

Knock on wood...might have figured out the latest issue with my build. Earlier in week I tried both replacing the power cord and plugging into different outlet. PC was still hard crashing and/or rebooting after a while of playing a game. I already had the latest BIOS so this morning I updated...

I had not played a Total War game in many years until trying WH3 (the immortal empires mode) when it was on sale. Campaign mode, although it can be fun, is just blown away by Paradox grand strategy games. Almost all 4X style games are now. But what really surprised me was how dull the actual...
