That's good

AMD is dropping ROCm support for gfx906 GPUs, including Radeon VII (Pro) and Instinct MI50, after less than 5 years since their launch. Nvidia supports theirs for at least 8.

Likely Ai but 4090 Ti/4080 Ti be cooking

As usual for the server industry, Nvidia GPUs paired with AMD or ARM CPUs are generally the way to go.

AMD avoids answering question and provides no comment answer to Steve from Gamers Nexus if Starfield will block competing Upscaling Technologies

Personally I would rather not have AMD and Nvidia go into a bribing war. Gimpworks and PhysX days were pretty horrid and realistically, if Radeon sponsored titles say no DLSS allowed, then Nvidia users can still use FSR. But if Nvidia sponsored games say no FSR allowed, then Radeon users can't use DLSS.

Like the GPU is already a turd but only Gigabyte can make it a Gigaturd

Might not be quite AAA and I should have screenshotted it, but I got Galactic Ruler for a mere 2.12€ (39.99€ launch price). In fact, for less than 5€ you can get the entire series right now.

I'm at the point in my life where even during Steam Summer/Winter sales, I'll thoroughly look over as much of the catalogue as possible, and ask myself "am I REALLY going to play this?" because my gaming time is nowhere near as much as it used to be, so I'll only buy games I know I'm going to play.

I did finally pick up Tyranny for only $7.50 from Obsidian. Seeing how soon Baldur's Gate 3 is releasing, I'm getting back into my CRPGs. Those 2 games will be what keeps me busy until Starfield.

I really hope Obsidian makes another CRPG down the road. 

Absolutely this! Like, why the hell is CoD: Black Ops 2 from 2012 still a full priced $60?!?

Congratulations.

Yeah, me too. But who's to blame for that? We are.

Now don't get me wrong, publihsers weren't happy about pricing their games so low, but it was the users that abused the system that pushed Valve to end the flash deals, changing the sales forever.

Wow. You'll be busy for dozens of hours. Congratulations.

And you're lucky that it's that "low". Most CoD games never have discounts above 50%.

The same goes true for the Square Enix developed games, that almost never get beyond 50% discounts and, the few times they do, they only go up to 60%.

I bought The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe and the Yakuza Collection so far.

You bought more games?! Will you ever have enough?

*Edit* I did the joke but I forgot the most important part: congratulations for your purchases.

Had a hard time at first telling if this was stop motion doing a great job of looking digital or vice versa. Turns out it's (you guessed it) UE5:

I'm interested.

^Impressive.

But unless the game is somehow related to the movie of the same name, I doubt they'll be able to use the name Small Soldiers... tho a quick search finds that the studio, Comadran, already had a similar problem with their game Medabots.

And for those too young to know/remember the movie I'm talking about: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122718/

It may not be plagiarism, but the inspiration is very obvious.

I feel like it's time we got a new Small soldiers movie, especially seeing as how companies like Disney are putting to much focus on live action this or Pixar emotion films that flop out the gate.
