With H200s releasing next year, Intel feels like they are continuing the trend of being behind Nvidia/AMD

Large European retailer mistakenly lists 24 GeForce RTX 4090 SUPER cards

https://videocardz.com/newz/large-european-retailer-mistakenly-lists-24-geforce-rtx-4090-super-cards

Those prices though... look like 3090Ti pricing, 5-10% more performance for 500+€ more

That 2500W PSU is insane and only build for crypto or AI mining systems.

So, Steam has launched its year in review stats. I'm having troubles sharing it, but here's a try:

If that doesn't work, here's this:

That AoE II stat is all because of my brother. I haven't touched that game.

My longest strike has been 174 days... yeah, that was in the first half of the year and I don't recommend you playing that much, even if you do it with several games.

Also, for some reason Steam thinks that 41% of the games I played are from 2023, when I haven't bought a single game launched this year. Something's not right.

Too arcadey naval battles in ACIV is the reason I dropped it halfway through. I like my Age of Sail battles to be way more dependant on the wind than what Ubisoft made in Black Flag.

Here is my Steam year in review https://s.team/y23/ddvhqbp?l=english

My longest streak was 348 days.

Majority of the playtime is between Cookie Clicker, Cell to Singularity, and Clicker Heroes. These three usually are running in the background.

ANOTHER EDEN is the one most actively played. Though I alt-tab frequently from it.

Galactic Civilizations IV is the last among the top played.

I've finished quite a few games, such as Submerged, OK K.O.! Let’s Play Heroes, Machinarium, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius, LOST EMBER, Sable, The Smurfs - Mission Vileaf, Ben 10, Dodgeball Academia, Lucifer Within Us, Planet Stronghold, Star Control: Origins, Broken Age, Pumpkin Jack, Primordia, Unpacking, 

There is a bundle on Steam available for a limited time, the Story-Rich Megabundle - presented by LudoNarraCon.

It has 10 games, some which are rather nice. Only available until available until 21st December.

I think at least a third of my 29 hours so far is just naval battles lol.

I was worried that the 2022 data gets lost.

But in the Steam Profile, you can switcch to the former years:

Note to myself: I have to focus on playing more of my VR games:

But there's no denying that I love my Steam Decks:

I played a lot of games that depict Age of Sail period - whether it's Caribbeans, trading along coast of Europe, endless wars of that period...and what I always liked about that period is how much wind plays into your decisions in naval combat. Black Flag is terrible in giving you that feel - I had a feeling I'm "driving" motorboats, so I was utterly disappointed, to the point where I just ended up quitting game (though I liked most of the stuff on the land). I mean, FFS, there are mobile games that do that period better (from the standpoint of ships) than AC IV.
