If it were me I'd just tell them they have the choice between refunding me or me issuing a charge back since they didn't deliver the product, I know which is preferable to them...
It's really none of the customers problem why you can't deliver, unless they are somehow being difficult, you are obligated to make the customer whole on the transaction which is a contract.
If they took care of me I'd happily email Sony and tell them they are being dicks (in a brutal but classy way), but these guys are probably cut off for a reason.
No? There's more color, but it's reasonable CSGO always had a kind of dull color grading/textures, though updates changed that A bit later on. A lot of players turn up saturation themselves for the (at least perceived) benefit of visibility so that might be what you saw, you also see CS players playing in 1024x768 stretched still because that's how they always played before.
They definitely gave it that trendy sunny slightly hazy day look. I'm not complaining it's a much nicer aesthetic than the original release of CSGO which felt like a Seattle afternoon in the middle of the desert.
The passive agressive one liners with unnecessary clarifications that sound like they were written by a alien or schizophrenic plastered all over are 100% his schtick.
You really think M$ is better about this? You still can't play any Forza Motorsport games on back compat, there may be some technical reason for this, but I doubt it. They delist games before the next one in the series comes out too, which is the wildest shit. you can't buy FM7 anymore and haven't been able to for a while. The new one isn't even out yet.
This practice boggles the mind because I can go on Steam and most publishers are still selling their decade + old games.
I also wonder if Xbox will use the reaction to the leaks to determine potential changes going forward (ie: reactions to the console being all digital, reactions to the next gen console processor, etc).
Almost certainly, make lemonade and all that, it can be very valuable feedback it just wouldn't have been worth telegraphing your 5 year plan.
They are just a super poster, they post just tons of gaming articles that strike their fancy, which is cool it keeps this community fresh, but it's not always good, just is what it is, I won't complain really because it's not like I'm much of a poster.
Description:
A crudely photoshopped image of a go gurt box with the branding changed to say "lauren Go-Gurt" and the image of a Go-Gurt Tube replaced with one of congresswoman Lauren Boebert with her mouth wide open. Flavors edited to read "Cum Bounty" and "Cherry Jenkum" a note in the bottom left corner of the box reads "Freshly Squeezed"
the connector types used are also a part of the spec for example CAT7 standard cannot be achieved with an RJ45 (at least by the book) Though you might still use CAT7 rated cable for the additional interference resistance at longer distances with RJ45 connectors.
I was definitely a junk wizard back in the day, as I've grown older and have less time and more money I just want stuff that works. I used to build entire (pretty acceptably decent) home theater systems out of $150 worth of stuff off craigslist and yard sales. When you know how it all works you can cobble together some real goofy shit that works.
It's about the exact amount of cringe I expect from a non mainstream linux distro. but aye who doesn't like dragons and eagles? I'll have to try it out on this old zenbook.
Graphical fidelity has not materially improved since the days of Crysis 1
I think you may have rose tinted glasses on this point, the level of detail in environments and accuracy of shading, especially of dynamic objects, has increased greatly. Material shading has also gotten insanely good compared to what we had then. Just peep the PBR materials on guns in modern FPS games, it's incredible, Crysis just had normals and specular maps all black or grey guns that are kinda shiny and normal mapped. If you went inside of a small building or whatever there was hardly any shading or shadows to make it look right either.
Crysis is a very clever use of what was available to make it look good, but we can do a hell of a lot better now (without raytracing) At the time shaders were getting really computationally cheap to implement so those still look relatively good, but geometry and framebuffer size just did not keep pace at all, tesselation was the next hotness after that because it was supposed to help fix the limited geometry horsepower contemporary cards had by utilizing their extremely powerful shader cores to do some of the heavy lifting. Just look at the rocks in Crysis compared to the foliage and it's really obvious this was the case. Bad Company 2 is another good example of good shaders with really crushingly limited geometry though there are clever workarounds there to make it look pretty good still.
I could see the argument that the juice isn't worth the squeeze to you, but graphics have very noticeably advanced in that time.
I recall exactly once back in the day that Ubuntu actually just played audio through a laptop I installed it on and I damn near lost my mind.
like 30 minutes ago I installed Mint on a laptop and literally everything just worked as if I installed windows from the backup image. (I'm not sure power states are working 100% but it's close enough and probably would with 3rd party driver)
I love my 6900XTH, killer chip. if you don't expect ray tracing it's an absolute monster. I bought it because it was what was available on the shelf but ultimately I feel like it was the best choice for me. I don't think I'd buy another nvidia card for a while with the shit they've pulled, and I'd previously bought dozens of EVGA nvidia cards.
I just wish FSR2 could be improved to reduce ghosting. it's already OK so any improvement would make it very good.

I hope someone at the FCC pissed in his giant mug before he left.
