Amazon Scam PC: Everything is Wrong in the iBUYPOWER Element Mini

This one gave me a brain aneurysm. Fermi in 2021? Come on people...

F*ck Ethereum and all the cryptos. It feels like a nightmare that never ends.

Also, that build is a crime. It's not that you should get a refund for it after finding out what it has, it's that you should deserve an extra more for the damages you suffered by using it.

 Microsoft's head of gaming has hope for future of emulation
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/microsofts-head-of-gaming-has-hope-for-future-of-emulation/
It's been a big news week for Phil Spencer, Microsoft's head of gaming. Spencer has taken a hard stance on Activision's roiling controversy and also chimed in on the debate about NFTs in gaming. In a conversation with Axios, he expressed a desire to see industry-wide support for console emulation like Xbox's backwards compatibility program.
>> It remains to be seen if he also supports that console emulation on PC.

Star Citizen has now raised over $400M

Less than 18 months after clearing the $300 million mark, Star Citizen has now raised over $400 million in crowdfunding. At the time of writing, 3,364,629 players have contributed a total of $402,657,305 according to its funding goals page.
>> Insane.

Would be amazing though I doubt other companies will follow suit. When they can make bank reselling their games generation one after another on rereleases and 'remasters'. There's very little incentive for them to put effort into supporting legacy games *CoughNintendoCoughSony* Though tbf Sony has been getting better with emulation with PS5.

@ Star Citizen, I'm amazed that people are still pumping money onto this vaporware. >400M for a game nowhere near completion is insane lol.

But that's the sad thing, they can't even resell all the games because they don't work. Only a handful gets the remaster/remake treatment and get a second chance. With proper emulators, all the games would work and keep selling.

But well, this would be great for consoles but, what about PC? Would they still be against them? (my opinion is that yes, they would).

Regarding Star Citizen... wel, at least there's a Beta and the backers can play it. It's not like they got nothing from their money like some vaporware. But I agree that it's been on Beta long enough to reach the 1.0 status and launch, and then keep adding extra stuff like the rest of MMOs do.
