All I want to do is parkour a giant mech in VR and knife-hack combat bots to do my bidding while I rodeo an enemy Titan and throw a grenade in its cockpit.. Is that too much to ask for?

Really want to love Linux, but getting any mod to work in any game is 100x harder to get working than windows. It's a frustrating slog of trial and error full of pretentious pricks too eager to respond to questions with "oh it's so easy." This is why people don't want to jump to Linux.

The EU Kids Act will destroy online gaming. It requires ID to play online. It requires ANY online server to require an ID system to intake and securely verify them. It will make PRIVATE SERVERS ILLEGAL! It will require devs to cough up, up to 500K dollars to publish an online game. Fuck. That.

Hardline drawn: If you pay for AI subscriptions you are disqualified from calling yourself a PC enthusiast, hobbyist, etc. You are the walrus feigning sympathy and empathy after eating more clams than the carpenter. You don't get to complain of increasing costs stop shooting yourself in the face.

People should view this as an insult. Instead of providing graphics cards, they are milking your nostalgia with trading cards of what they USED to provide you, in hopes you forget it's their fault you can't afford any new PC hardware. Don't fall for it. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

Special note for that single person who might also need it: If your Thrustmaster RaceLine Pedals III dont work, work erratically, disconnect, etc and you have a metal racing rig. It's either a ground-loop (fix now) or EMI leakage: rubber washers, neoprene bolts to attach them, re-route cord. 🤘

Everyone dunking on XBOX off effectively falling apart are missing important key differences: They aren't just closing studios, they are allowing them to go indie and keep their games. Did EA, Activision, or Erasure Group give any dev that option after closing any of their studios?...

Stop supporting "Triple A" publishers. They are destroying the game industry you claim to love so much. Hoping for a quick rebound, sir. I loved Hitman 2. Absolutely favorite.

Tim Sweeney of Epic Games says Valve informing paying customers of AI presence is "irresponsible" In other news: Tim Sweeney might be a pedophile/sympathizer since he didn't think Grok spamming child porn on X was a bad thing.... Praise be to Gabe, shield us from the evils of Tim and his slop.

If Next Gen gaming doesn't make me regret murdering pedestrians with a car, by making the entire city start a man hunt, arrest, stand trial and rot in prison for vehicular manslaughter than it's not simulating shit. Except maybe what it's like being in the Epstein Class...clearly.

PC building flex: I once dremeled new mounting holes into a motherboard to haphazardly attach a 775 socket cooler to a 1155 board. It was fine. The time I froze off a cooler from an original Geforce DDR and ripped off a tiny resistor wasn't fine though.

The use of AI is not to expand artist ventures, it's to justify artificial inflation of the product's "value" while removing the artistic expression and the human behind it and charge you more and more and only the CEOs get the profit. The soul will be lost. While inflating the cost.

A game called Roadside Research which allows customizable faces, which the player has drawn a ghoulish face, stretched over the Alien characters face, like loose skin stapled over something, with poorly applied makeup, in a way to mock Kristi Noems excessive plastic-surgery which makes her appear unhuman.

The SUPER series of NVIDIA cards were supposed to be announced in Dec 2025 and launched in Feb. Due to the hoarding of RAM due to AI Datacenters the SUPER was cancelled and the 60xxx series meant for 2027 will be delayed at least to 2028. Are we having fun yet???

About 70% of memory silicon is going directly to AI Datacenters in 2026. All of 2026. Tired of this yet? Because component prices won't be dropping, not even well into 2028 is the prediction. Hope your AI slop music/art/brain rot is worth it assholes.
