Too late!

Street Brawl is really fun, reminds me of 5 capture point maps in TF2.

"Gamers are used to owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen"

"So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game"

Uhum. Tell me how that worked out for you.

restructuring at Abu Dhabi, RedLynx and Massive

Massive Entertainment are your only fully functional studio at this point, so sure. ⏰

Quoting: PaldinoXAh yes, the perfect business strategy, keep doing the same exact thing we've been doing for the past 15 years and hope it digs us out of the hole we've gotten ourselves into!

I think there was a game that made this point a while ago. Can't quite remember what it... Vaas.

Gaming as a service and AI. Definitely a company not much interested in "What do people want to buy?" and much more interested in "What do we want to sell people?"

The trend to "reboot" franchises needs to die already. At this point, it's just a lazy attempt to capitalise on nostalgia for a past success.

That aside, the Fable reboot is developed by the same guys as Forza (at least those that weren't fired) and will use the same engine. Sounds odd to me but we'll see.

The 5000 series are AM4 based like your 3700x. A 5700x or 5800x would be a nice upgrade for you, in the ballpark of a 20-30% improvement depending on the task. The non-x3d AM4 5000 series CPUs can still be gotten new cheaply, and really cheap if you buy used. If you don't need 8 cores, a 5600x would also be a nice upgrade.

I'm still using my 3700X from 2019, outside of compiling it never really goes above 50% usage under heavy load. I'm also way too lazy to upgrade my motherboard (not to mention how expensive they are these days, I got mine for £120 back then!) since I'd need a newer motherboard for the newer sockets (I think the 3700X is AM4+, and the 5000 series onwards uses AM5 I believe?).

I'll have to upgrade one day, but I think I've got 2-3 years left with my current CPU. Then I'll look at switching, most likely sticking with AMD. 😃

Fun fact: My dad's PC is still rocking an i7-4770k on Ubuntu and it's barely showing its age for his usage (Wreckfest, Dungeon Defenders, listening to music and watching videos, granted he has an Nvidia 970Ti).

Most of my computer parts are from when I built it in 2014*, and this year I might finally, possibly, be in a financial position to consider upgrading building something new. I went with Intel/nVidia for the CPU/GPU, but I'm thinking of switching over to all AMD for the next build. Though I'm also kind of twiddling my thumbs waiting for the AI bubble to burst and RAM prices to return to sane values; I guess we'll see how the year goes.

*Minus one RAM DIMM that failed in 2018, the power supply that failed in 2023 (or '24?), and the GPU my brother gifted me in 2018.

I already thought about replacing my aging but still rocking Ryzen 9, but Ram prices are striking hard. Still, the idea is in my head, that almost certainly means throwing money out, soon.

Massive upgrade? So... finally a native Linux version? ;-)

There's no GPU in existence that can utilize this monster, so... shrug.

Quoting: LoftyInteresting they work with Xreal glasses ? I thought they were just two screens made to look like one big one. How is it working as VR ?

Can't compare that to VR but I use my XR glasses a lot: https://makertube.net/w/tq6uNTgnFM2aEYXZjM5Wx1 (Demo: Breezy Desktop now with virtual desktops 😎)

This also allows me to experience Stereoscopic 3D with almost any game thanks to ReShade. Add OpenTrack to the mix and I get a very VR-like experience without the motion sickness on top. Works best with native support, of course. Demo footage with Elite Dangerous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfR6vpO7UFs (and unlike VR this even works "on foot" in ED)

YMMV.

Cool. Wake me when DDR5 prices come back down out of the stratosphere. Until then this is just performance art.

The legacy games industry is just wretched...
But hey, the layoffs will continue until productivity improves!
Maybe they'll eventually drive themselves into bankruptcy or irrelevance with all their "streamlining". I can dream.

I swear I thought I had a fever dream the other night! Right you guys? YES! It's official!

Gesh, Ubisoft, go bankrupt already and sell the IPs to someone who doesn't produce uninspired corporate slop every single time.

They say this new model for how Ubisoft works will be centred on "Open World Adventures and *GaaS-native experiences

Ah yes the new model, totally not the one that they followed since 2014.

My really cheap 9600x bought on sale is doing fine. I'll wait for the next iteration, or the one after that if it still supports am5 to get a x3d chip.

Quoting: mr-victoryMaybe they contacted the recently expelled team member? They worked on hardware & handheld support.

Going by further comments, nope, they used a shared mailbox.

Proton will also do however the default wine is ancient and does not work. I had to give this info in universal blue discord so many times I started to meme about "days since last Battle.net install failure on Lutris: 0". It is a pet peeve of mine😅

Sounds like: "Let's flood Bazzite with issues about GPD Win5 so they solve them for us"
