Memory prices have been practically in free fall recently. That's very fortunate for everyone (except the memory manufacturers). SSDs reflect that trend, and I hope that only continues to improve.
Yeah, all I have is a SATA system SSD, and it doesn't take more than a couple of seconds to launch something like Excel or Word from it. I think he was wearing his salesman hat when he mentioned 15 seconds in that context.
By the time the system comes out, the tech under discussion will be available for PCs, no doubt. I'm mostly interested in the promised ultra-fast SSD storage. If it leaves NVMe in the dust, then I want it.
It makes it enormously interesting for me too, since I skipped the PS4 entirely. (My last Sony console is a PS2.) There are quite a few PS4 games I'd like to play in addition to the next-gen goodies the system will get.
8-core Ryzen 2, and Navi. Best news AMD can deliver right now, and no surprise to me. SSD storage, probably with a hugely faster interface with the system than SATA (NVMe?). Great time for this, as memory prices have gotten so much better. I can't imagine the suits liked the idea early in the system's development. SSDs were a lot more expensive then. Optical disc still present. Back-compat with PS4. So far, they're hitting all the right notes. A mention of memory quantity...
The driver is already out. On Pascal cards, it's only useful to see what you're missing--which I think is exactly why Nvidia did this. Looks pretty; performs like crap. Better go spend big bucks on RTX.
Yeah, that's the part of the story that isn't getting needed coverage. That was an allusion to of an existing piece of art. It wasn't some new message meant to offend anyone.
As usual in a controversial topic, over half of the comments flagged as inappropriate are not inappropriate at all. I encourage showing them, and checking them out.
Yeah, they do represent letters. Come on. Artists have a tradition of hiding messages that would never pass muster if they were obvious. The problem here is that the message hits a very sore nerve in current times. "Sticks and stones . . ." was the wisdom of my youth. That obviously has changed now, for the worse.
The players have changed, but the game remains the same. Companies hate unions, and only accept them when they become as powerful as the companies. That's very difficult to achieve. Last century, it took organized-crime money to make it possible in some cases. That tainted the image of unions a great deal.
The idea is terrific: give labor real bargaining power with management. One lowly employee, or worse, prospective employee, has no bargaining power at all with a...
Yeah, I can't deny that. When you get a PC game, you get a second game thrown in for free: get the best look, performance and behavior you can out of it. Usually doesn't take long; but there are those times you can spend days poring over config files and profiles to get rid of excessive bloom, or whatever. Many more choices bring many more compulsions to change something.
Consoles are meant to be easy to pick up and play. The games I've disliked because of t...
It's absolutely brilliant, from a business perspective. Get thousands of people to bolster your QA department, and have THEM pay YOU for it.
Talk about speaking truth here. Thanks for that. I still struggle to understand the use of the word "entitled" as an insult. We are all entitled to get what we pay for, and we don't intentionally pay for crap or broken games.
That's what censorship does. It muzzles voices outside of what the corporate media have decided can be said to the public.
The plaintiffs did withdraw their lawsuit, against Pinkerton. Read the story. Apparently, Pinkerton had issued a C&D order against Take Two and/or Rockstar, demanding removal of references to Pinkerton in the game. So Pinkerton got sued in return, and I guess they cried uncle.
A leeching attempt was the first thing I thought of. Somebody thought they found a way to extract money from someone else. Yeah, there may be more to it. Let's see where it goes from here.
You strike when the iron's hot. You don't let it cool for a year.
This article just rehashes the same 3 basic complaints I keep seeing: Epic has "exclusives" (a silly term, since no game PCs get excluded from running games bought at the Epic store). Epic's features are very limited compared to Steam (which is true, for now). Epic is a Red Chinese agent (yeah . . . and I'm the queen of England).
Ultimately, it's just a store. You can choose to buy from it, or not. This whole thing has been talked to death. Let&#...
In order to understand the risk you're taking, you need to know what is happening. A perfect system would have had your PSN name be a variable in your PSN account, under your fixed account ID number. But that's not what happened. The system was designed for a fixed PSN name. As a result, some developers and at times Sony itself used your PSN name as your unique identifier, rather than your account number. If you change the name, anything relying on it will stop working. If saves...
Isn't there an icon filter? I can't remember. Been a while. I do remember enjoying the romp through virtual Paris, and climbing the cathedral, inside and out. Such a shame about the fire.
