12VHPWR Power Connector Melts Again, This Time From The PSU End!

Well can't blame the GPU on this one but it does feel like that if a connector is this prone to user error assuming that is still the cause, they should better design the connector.

Intel Desktop CPU Rumors: Raptor Lake-S Refresh In October, Arrow Lake-S In Late 2024, Xeon W-2500 & W-3500 HEDT Refresh In 1H 2024

There's certainly a lot of conflicting rumours even as far as to say they will be using TSMC instead of Intel. If Intels node is delayed again, I don't know if they have much of a choice since Zen 5 would slaughter any more refreshes.

Now that would been hype

Damn, that is a huge difference for GTA San Andreas lol

Well, Rockstar and 2K made themselves look like a fool with those sh*tty ports, and they knew how bad they were going to be given how they went after all the remaster or remake projects that there going on in the modding community.

And despite the promises, I haven't heard about them patching all the bugs the games had at launch.

Regarding the Intel CPUs, Raptor Lake refresh should by a skip by everyone if the rumors about only bringing higher clocks and higher power consumption are true. The bit about the next one, Arrow Lake, using TSMC makes sense in a way, because that's supposed to be a tile based CPU, and Intel will likely use a TSMC made graphics part for the processor. The rest of the different modules can be made by Intel themselves.

Afaik, R* patched them to a certain point and then just abandoned it, much like how they abandoned RDR 2 online.

Also feels weird seeing EA abandon fully fixing some of the issues for Dead Space Remake, considering the praise that game got, but I guess we're fully in the age of AAA patching their games to a halfway point, then finding out it doesn't bring them more money, so they drop their toys and run off. 

Yeah, that's what I meant. They fixed the biggest bugs, but then they simply moved on.

It's a similar case as the Dead Space Remake were, while the whole issue is on, with articles and major discussions around the web, publishers work (or pretend) in patches and fixes. But once the dust has settled down, and the noise has mostly stopped, they stop doing anything.

Nowadays it's quite rare to find publishers that really want to fix the games and gives developers time and money to fix the mess.

My god Blizzard wtf. They went from Overwatch 2 will have a story mode to sorry it's cancelled to wait we are going to have story missions during the xbox press conference and now this.

Like this is insane levels of miss management

It's a similar thing with games that introduce loads of MT's either at launch or later on. Publishers know we get super mad about them diming us, but ultimately, they know we'll simmer down in half a yr, accept the MT's and give them even more money.

Same goes for the games being bust, and if they don't sell more copies later on due to word of mouth about them not fixing everything, they will simply shrug, they got their super "important" 2 weeks to 1 month sales projections.

That doesn't work on me, I let them simmer until they come with a complete edition on GOG or in a Humble Bundle with all the DLC included. And if they don't, well, no buy for you guys!
