Two weeks ago my step mother asked me “Can you help my friend connect her PC to the wifi, it runs Windows XP” users are fucking weird.

The actual answer, there is no reason to switch. The vast majority of users do not care about Linux or why they would want to. For us there are lots of benefits and things we enjoy about getting away from Windows but for them “why?”

I wonder if we will ever see a proper return to form for GPU pricing. As you mentioned, most if not all other PC hardware has come down to pre-pandemic pricing but without GPUs joining them it makes budget builds impossible*

Seeing the RX 7600 leap so far ahead in higher resolutions in CS is interesting. Ultimately both seem… ugh.

Yes there was and I agreed with the court of public opinion at first and still disagree with some of the initial terminology it does seem as if Twitch is just attempting to align with YouTube on how it handles ads and sponsors.

YouTube and Twitch both want to make sure the viewer can tell the difference between and AD run by the site and a sponsored segment controlled by the creator. To help with this all YouTube sponsored segments must be the creators own words and not a standard commercial. Its why when its a “word from our sponsor” its an ad read by the creator instead of a commercial for a VPN product.

100% have to agree. The cost of operating these massive online platforms vastly exceeds any profit options they have available to them. Without some form of aggressive data mining, advertising, subscription services or combination of all 3 they will continue to lose money.

Essentially, the big issue is that Twitch went from a 70/30 sub split to 50/50 for a lot of its larger creators. Most smaller creators started at 50/50 and once they grew they were able to negotiate better contracts for the 70/30 but it was since then removed.

The biggest issue imo is that streamers don’t fully comprehend the costs of Twitch and say things like “Amazon can afford it” (Quote from a major streamer on the platform). What they fail to realize is that Amazon isn’t running Twitch as a charity and if it continues to not be profitable it could be shut down just like Mixer was.

I am not bootlicking Twitch either, streamers need to eat and taking 50% of a major revenue stream is a difficult pill to swallow.

Yayyyyyyyyyyy!

But its not… GoT did not invent betrayal in this regard.

That may have been my problem, playing solo that is.

Combat was a little dull and I think that any media these days that follows a medieval and political themes will be related to GoT but really I don’t see much resemblance.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it though. Might actually pick it up!

Destiny 2! The game is total trash. The combat is so fucking boring, its just nothing but bullet sponge bosses with simple ass mechanics.

I know that lots of people love it but man I do not understand lol

Fair enough I guess. Still just… Frustrated.

Ahh okay that makes sense, was worried that my response was misunderstood as defending it.

Looks like I had misunderstood your response as you misunderstanding mine lol!

Honestly it wasn’t entirely unexpected coming from the CoD community… Tim the tat mans response on the other hand really disappointed me, I thought better of him.

I am not defending it if that is what you are asking.

Thats is pretty gross. Why is that the greater community continues to pre-order everything!

A popular CoD Streamer had his in game content removed due to some inappropriate comments on Twitter. Then the CoD community responded how you would expect them to by doubling down…

That is understandable. Thanks for the info.

This is awesome! Why is Elden Ring the target?

I feel that, this is my first real fighting game and I SUCK! Thank fuck for modern controls.
