    Effort in Colorado to keep Trump off ballot fails

    Correct decision, but one that makes the dubious exception for Trump stick out even more like a sore thumb.

    What do yall think of AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)

    Nah, someone with a working class background will at least vote in favor of working class interests. You don't need to know about all the bureaucratic procedural nonsense up front. It's much worse when we elect rich dipshits who neither understand the first thing about governance nor have any...

    What do yall think of AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)

    To add to this, and to her credit, she's one of the few Congresspeople who came from a working class background. That's what the corporate Dems and Republicans dislike her for.

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    Sony's kind of shot themselves in the foot in that regard though, given how new releases have slowed to a trickle. The only current "exclusives" are Demon's Souls, Spider-Man 2 and two Final Fantasy games, three of which we know will be getting a PC release date within the next year. If...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    Well, a typical PC gamer has already invested hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in to their Steam library. The value proposition gets iffy when you account for needing to re-buy all of those games to get the performance benefits for them. It's a no-brainer if you've got more invested in...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    "Mid-range" is fairly subjective given how few people in Steam's hardware survey are using a 3090 or better. Also pretty funny that a 4070 only beats out a 3090 by 1TFLOP, Nvidia has gotten overzealous with their pricing. Regardless, Sony definitely needed to go aggressive with the mid-gen...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    That's a bit melodramatic. It's always been a select few AAA developers capable of pushing the limits of both graphical fidelity AND enjoyable/engaging gameplay, but they are still out there. Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Monster Hunter World, and Like a Dragon are all good examples. Also...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    Let's hope. If it's not at least 3/4ths as powerful as a Steam Deck, it's not worth releasing at all in the current saturated market. Switch had no portable competition whatsoever when it debuted in 2017, so it'll be interesting to see how adaptable Nintendo's strategy is moving forward.

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    True, but clearly even Nintendo is struggling with the limitations of their own hardware when you look at an example like TotK. Very noticeable frame rate and resolution drops even while in docked mode, and there's not a lot of wiggle room underneath when its baseline performance is already...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    Starting from zero I'd say the PS5 Pro would be a really good value, but most people aren't starting from zero in console generation 9.5. Without an existing Playstation library there's very little incentive to drop the better part of a thousand dollars on a mid-gen refresh, and without an...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    In terms of price-to-performance ratio, $600/$700 for 33TFLOPS is a lot better than $300 for less than 1TFLOP. There's also a big difference between streamlined and under-featured, the difference between 3DS and Switch basically. I don't believe for a second that Playstation's UI is "too...

    What do yall think of RFK Jr ?

    I think he went off the deep end quite a while ago. Conspiracy theories are what the lazy man substitutes for intellectualism to make themselves feel special/unique. As if RFK Jr himself wasn't example enough of that, he's reportedly looking at Aaron Rodgers to be his running mate. On the...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    I wouldn't exactly say that an RTX 3090 or better is "mid-range." 33TFLOPS will get you a locked 60 FPS at 4K, at least, which is probably the baseline Sony was looking to reach. Won't surprise me if MSRP is even higher than base PS5, though.

    Nintendo sends DMCA notices for "syspatch-updater" homebrew app by iTotalJustice

    The way they've been acting lately though, even that fact may not be enough to stop Nintendo from trying to intimidate or bully SciresM.

    Nintendo sends DMCA notices for "syspatch-updater" homebrew app by iTotalJustice

    One new/remastered game every six months at this point, but one new DMCA every three days. Clearly Nintendo's true calling isn't in video game development any more.

    Steam Deck Windows drivers now available

    For specific multiplayer games with incompatible anti-cheat systems, I guess. I use my Steam Deck almost exclusively for single-player games, though.

    What reasons are there to buy a PS5?

    PS4 at least has Bloodborne, one of the GOATs. Presumably it'll get an improved performance remaster or sequel at some point, but it's been a LONG time.

    What reasons are there to buy a PS5?

    It's a better console than Switch or Xbox Series, but that really isn't saying much. Build a gaming PC and you have access to all console games now, except the Demon's Souls remake. If you already have a gaming PC, just spend the money on an upgrade or two.
