Measles is “growing global threat,” CDC tells doctors in alert message

  • Well done Andrew Wakefield, you colossal fucking twat.

    • PC is the most 'dominant' it's been this decade as two-thirds of devs say they're targeting the platform

    Jump

  • And yet still the third most popular card according to the Steam hardware survey.

    Only the 1650 (similar spec to 1060) and 3060 above it.

    I was hoping the 4060 would be the new mid tier go to card, giving good results at a good price, but Nvidia want the new normal to be a 4070 or higher.

    By this point 4K screens are not some extravagance. They're standard. You can't even buy a modern TV less than that. PC gamers should not be accepting the price they have to pay to get what "lol potato console hurdur" gamers get out of the box.

  • There's definitely games where my 1060 really struggles even at minimal graphics. I even had to play Talos Principle 2 on PS5.

    It's rather telling that the most prominent PC exclusives (MMOs, etc) can run on a potato.

    The Intel Arc GPUs looked interesting, but the lack of compatibility on older titles is off-putting. AMD lack the raytracing oomph and support isn't as good as it is for DLSS. PC gaming has thrown all it's chips in with Nvidia, and now it's at the mercy of their pricing.

    • Fuck Ubisoft.

    Jump

  • I'm sure the last few Ubisoft games I got from Steam all installed UPlay before letting me run them anyway...

    I'm not buying it because £45 is not a budget price for what feels like an indie game experience. I can wait for a sale on that, or more likely for it to go to PSN Extra. Still got plenty on my backlog.

    • What are your favorite game consoles?

    Jump

  • PS2 achieved a level of dominance we're unlikely to see again. An enormous leap over the previous generation, and had practically no competition for years. Seeing something like GTA3 for the first time was mind-blowing.

  • Well thanks PC Gamer, for that unbiased news.

    Until GPUs get a sane price again, I'll stick to my PS5 for anything that I want to look good.

  • The only one I can think of was the Spyro trilogy remaster, which had games 2 and 3 as downloads.

    In any case I think there's more chance of Valve going bust than Sony or Microsoft...

    • Movie

    Jump

  • You are gonna be disappointed. I stole it and still wanted a refund.

    I'm not out of space yet, but I still deleted it from my Jellyfin server out of principle.

    I think it's the writing above all else that's a complete embarrassment.

    • Movie

    Jump

  • Your own opinion is the only one that matters.

    Unless you like Expendables 4. If you liked that you deserve prison.

    • What are some food items that cost less than what they "should"?

    Jump

  • Just about all of it.

    Most farming gets subsidised. This is a good thing. You want excess in the system. You've seen what the free markets did to housing. You don't want that happening to food.

    The slavery-in-all-but-name isn't such a good thing, but hey-ho.

    • New UEFI vulnerabilities send firmware devs industry wide scrambling

    Jump

  • It's that necessarily a good thing?

    I remember suddenly needing a firewall on my PC back in the days of the Blaster worm.

    Do we really want all those crappy IoT devices open on all ports to the general internet?

    The rest, not so much.

    • I wish sleep wasn't so appealing now.

    Jump

  • I think that's the fault of games rather than me.

    A lot of games are the same generic open world bollocks and it's honestly just exhausting.

    • Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions

    Jump

  • If only they'd carried on with that idea.

  • I had that with "I don't care about cookies" add-on.

    I disabled it and then it blocked me for being from Europe. 🤷‍♂️

    • Just sayin

  • That's all well and good but I don't want you living in my garden.

    • 100% fruit juice associated with weight gain in children and adults, study finds

  • I just check the orange juice I buy. Just generic supermarket branded. 45 calories per 100ml. Coca Cola is 42.

    There are people are drinking several litres a day of this shit, on top of all the normal stuff they eat.

  • The problem is you need to be a couple to have a house.

    In the 80s and even 90s the mother of the house probably didn't work. I know mine didn't. Now they have to. The prices have gone up to match this "new normal" because there simply aren't enough houses. Or at least not enough houses in the places people want to live.

    The free markets have settled on the idea that a house should cost two incomes. The government needs to step in to build affordable homes and get them into the right hands. No landlords scoffing them all up.
