Just another example of companies using software or "A.I" to compensate for the fact they won't improve the physical hardware, because it's cheaper to implement software than just put a larger battery in the phone.

This is such a strange argument. You’re basically saying why make something so convenient it essentially eliminates the main barrier to adoption, when I personally do not mind the huge inconvenience and will go out of my way to accommodate massive drawback of the current technology.

Great article, well done lads. Having recently gone back through my Steam catalogue and replayed a few older games (Deus Ex latter entries) it struck me just how crisp everything was. Sharp edges, clear scenery. Having just finished Back Ops 6 single player as an example it just seems like...

At least they've got rid of the grappling hook that turned Eternal into Doom-themed platformer with guns.

MS has always been about whatever bandwagon they could hitch their business to, which includes gaming itself with the launch of the first Xbox. As soon as subscriptions came around, it's hell for leather on this model. Same for A.I, just look how they've recently announced they'll ditch decades...

I was referring specifically to payments (the article mentions signing receipts) but yes signatures are still required in certain situations, that's universal.

What a ridiculous statement. A portion of those 8 billion people can barely afford to feed themselves, another portion are too young or old, another portion do not consume digital media as they have no access to internet or physical distribution, the ones that are left either can't afford $500...

Letting the market decide will ultimately result in whatever is the cheapest solution, which is why we're in this mess and why the EU has felt the need to step in. At the end of the day the decision was based around safety, not the EU wanting to dictate product features. Touch screens are way...

Red Alert was always my favourite, followed by the original C&C then RA2 with it's incredible intro and hammy FMV sequences. Generals was also pretty decent, though pretty on-the-nose with it's factions given the era it was released, not that my 13 year old self realised at the time. Tiberium...

I’ve just had a quick look and here in London a family of 4 for 3 games is £85. Bowling isn’t anywhere near as big here than in the US, where I’d imagine there’s more lanes so more competition. $200+ is insane, let alone the surge priced quote!

One thing I'd like to hear about that's not often mentioned is how noisy these things are. I can deal with it being a bit bulky, or heavier, or having stupid gAmErZ lighting but if it sounds like a jet engine then it's a hard pass. I have a desktop 4090 FE which most reviews indicated is...

Understood, thank you for the explanation.

How exactly does the propulsion system work then? I can understand the reactor generates power but how is thrust then produced? I'm (roughly) familiar with ionic propulsion where an electric field is used to shoot out heavy ions which act as the mass to generate momentum in the opposite...

HOD is ok, bordering on decent. Far below the quality of early GoT but good enough to waste an hour watching. RoP on the other hand is just awful. I don't care about the colour of any of the character's skin, nor any of the other woke-bashing nonsense. The show is simply terribly written...
