I'm not against the change name, but I don't think community is the right term for this thread. It should be asylum because: a) This is a heaven for some of us to avoid the ongoing console wars and the tedious discussions it brings; and b) Because we're all a bit insane.

I hope you all had a great start of the year.

The year starts with a good surprise from Club386!

Happy new years guys, looking back at a pretty bleh 2021, fingers crossed this year will be a good one.

New GPU architectures, consumer grade OLED monitors and some big game releases and even Intel joining in the GPU race.. its going to be some interesting year for tech for sure!

The Disappointment PC 2021: Worst Parts of the Year

Last year were certainly interesting for quite a lot of bad components. It's not just that there were component shortages but rather, a surprisingly large amount of components that would start fires! From cases to power supplies. And then you had rocket lake which apart from the insanely good 11400 series, the rest were pretty terrible compared to Zen 3. 2021 was probably one of the worst years in PC hardware history but 2022 should be alot better!

I also liked their new shirt design enough to preorder one.

I'm glad Steve didn't pursue a career as an actor, because his acting skills suck more than the products featured in the video.

personally I don't see a reason for a title change, works perfectly as it is.

Also I have the tomb raider games on steam won't claim them on epic, why claim something you already have? it only makes my library more unviewable and convoluted

Virtua Fighter 5 PC port is “possible” if they can sort out crossplay
https://www.pcgamesn.com/virtua-fighter-5-pc-port
A Virtua Fighter 5 PC port of the latest game in SEGA’s long-running fighting game series is “possible” according to the series’ producer – which has the potential to be one of the best fighting games on PC – although it may be “difficult to achieve this”.

Nah! We all have the same right to say anything here. Like kirby, I don't think the thread needs a new title but, if there is one, I already gave my oponion on it.

The only ones "playing" games to make money are those who use bots to farm good in MMOs. If that's their target demographic, they can go and try to implement it in FF XIV. We'll see how it goes.

Also, the Sega statement makes it clear that it will depend on Sony, and we know that they're against crossplay. Or, at least, they were before. We'll see if that's changed now that they have started launching games on PC as well.

By the way, I checked and already have the Definitive Editions of both Rise and Shadow of the Tomb Raider on Steam, but only have the vanilla version of Tomb Raider. Therefore, I'll only get Tomb Raider GOTY from Epic.

Maybe that will make someone at Epic scratch their heads as to why they haven't given the same copies of the three games .

"In the same way as the Odyssey Neo G9, this product uses ‘Quantum Mini LED’, which has been slimmed down to 1/40 compared to existing LEDs, as a light source, and supports Samsung’s proprietary image quality control technology ‘Quantum Matrix’ and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. It is equipped with ‘Quantum HDR 2000’.

In addition, the screen brightness is controlled in 4,096 steps (12 bits) to achieve the industry’s highest 1,000,000:1 fixed contrast ratio and more detailed and perfect black detail."

Probably going to be my next monitor.
