A funny thing happened at CES this year...
NVIDIA didn't announce a new GPU... Because there aren't any. There are rumors that the 3060, from 4years ago, is being rereleased though.

Don't try to fight them!
Look what you've got here, be fucking grateful!!

I used to just think a little less of COD and Ball players

Now I will mock them furiously for spending even MORE on games that use AI to the extent that CODBLOPS7 did.

You are stupid and shouldn't be allowed to budget your own finances if you now spend $70 on worse quality games.

Combined console sales for the month of November:

2023: 2.3 million consoles
2024: 2.2 million.
2025: 1.6 Million.

That's a drop of 600K. That's a full console release window.
Specifically the Switch 2.

We're having the worst console year, and the Switch 2 launched this year.

🚨‼️ Bad signs, man!

Thoughts go out to the family of Vince Zampella and his close colleagues and friends.

A true legend of the industry has left us.

Powerwash Simulator 2 is probably, dare I say, one of the best sequels this year .

Wow...
Micron can go fuck themselves.

Abandoning the consumer market while stealing hundreds of millions from US tax payers to boot.

Can't even stop buying in protest

🤡 people really be spending $70 for #BLOPS7 When it's got AI art, and a final boss like that?

Jesus man, society is cooked, yeah? 🤣

Dear @valvesoftware.com

I'd love the ability to remove AI content, the same way you allow adult content, to be completely filtered out of my store feed.

Being able to pick AI imagery, voice work, code, etc as means to remove this trash from view.
I don't hate AI code, but I won't buy AI art.

CachyOS has been a learning experience, getting VR to work, especially with VR mods for non-vr games, has been a lot of trial and error.

REPOXR requires some fiddling with WiVRn and R2MODMAN launch codes, but it's working!

Never be complacent, keep that head meat malleable. 🤯

So far CachyOS has been a lovely departure from Windows.

Still feel a bit "lost" having lost my primary, and then going into a new OS, but learning new things would be boring if they weren't scary.

Windows 11 update KB5029263 borked my Corsair MP600 1TB, the first Gen4 NVMe to market...ded Thanks, Microsoft.

It had to be replaced with a Samsung 990Pro...and Linux.

I feel much safer now.
Thanks, Linux

TIL:
Not only can you swap DLSS versions around for better compatibility and performance from game-to-game, and not only can you also swap some DLSS games to FSR..

You can force games that only have FSR1 or 2 to use FSR3 or 4 by swapping it to DLSS first and then injecting an FSR mod.

Notice how often mobile games change their icons?
It's because all of our collective attention spans have been destroyed by a bombardment of stimuli, so much so that our dopamine receptors --and you've already scrolled away. 🤡

Tip for niche players:

If you #REPO with #RepoXR and wonder why you can't move after the 1st level, remove MenuLib and any mods that use MenuLib (More heads, Etc.)

First of all:
If you aren't playing modded REPO, then what ARE you doing with your life.

but also, REPOXR. Play it in VR now, with full 6-dof and controller support. Well done!

Who else is ready for the downfall of Windows as the primary gaming platform for PC?

Time to take back control of your game collection. Demand better for yourselves!

I think I figured it out:

DOOM 2016 was... Almost perfection.
It was lean, no frilly "story" and Doom Slayer was the punctuation of the entire experience:
Lore? Fuck your lore, no time!
Don't break the wut? *SMASH* fuck your toys!
Get me to the POINT and let me KILL!!

NEARLY PERFECT.

I'm paraphrasing, but that's close enough for the greasy fuck that leaks his own game by leaving a thumb drive somewhere ..that also contained questionable porn..
