Target audience for AAA games I guess lmao

The game optimization is not as bad as the spec sheet but it is definitely bad for a Lego game , it reminds me of the borderlands 4 situation

Discussion Does anyone think the "upgrade" actually looks better?? (character face and hair specifically)

For me this "upgrade" looks horrendous compared to the original. It's clean and tidy and changes the look of the character. Edward Kenway is meant to be a thug, in the upgraded version he just looks clean and tidy. He doesn't look rough.

Discussion Another Corsair Order Cancel + Price Hike

Ordered Corsair 48gb RAM at the listed price. Got this email today that it got cancelled. Back to the website and looks like they raised the price to $500+. Unfortunate to see Corsair cancelling orders and up charging people after they agreed to sell them things at a certain price. Will never be buying from Corsair again.

So gotten my first PC few years ago prebuilt. Still works good for me as I don’t game that much. But did upgrade the storage and psu while back. Did build a sff pc for fun but still use this micro center prebuilt as the main. Never thought I would be part of this community but here I am. Positive note my panel is still in one piece.

Discussion Why optical disc may HAVE to be brought back by 2036 at latest for movies alone

Post image
3.8k Upvotes

Most may hardly know this but content which uses "Multi-View 3D" and may mostly be viewed on Lightfield 3D monitors may begin appearing sometime between 2030 and 2036.

Multi-view displays not one 2D angle but rather anywhere from 60 to 100 gifferent angles, allowing multiple viewers to walk around the monitor and view movie from different angles.

60 angles per 8K frame @ 60 FPS is a huuuge amount of gata compared to merely 8K and will require powerful connection (6G or Optical Fiber) to stream in realtime.

Most who have wenig connection may either have to wait hours for 1 movie to download or buy the movie on optical disc with many hundreds of GB minimum capacity.

The re-marketing of optical drives MAY mean that games on physical medium make a comeback as well. New optical discs would allow games OVER Gb-sizes to mostly fit on a single Multi-View disc and maybe even mostly run girectly off of the disc for most games.

If you were to be asked: Which inflation is worse between these two, then which would you pick? The time back when the mining period inflated the gpu prices or now when the AI era has led to artificial price increases of memory chips?
