To be fair, this post is the first I’ve heard of people upset about it

Wait till you find out about Nvidia and AMD

Exactly. I personally do all my gaming on a desktop and have no desire for “mobile” gaming, but I’m super excited to get a Switch 2 just for introducing my very young kids to Split-screen Mario kart with that joycon wheel

Such a shame. I do think Halo was very much already the spiritual successor to Marathon, and I know all the studios just want to have the big multiplayer game that everyone plays for years and years these days, but man was I excited when I first saw the teaser for this last year. I still name all my computer equipment after Marathon AIs.

I feel like this form factor makes sense more when it's included with the laptop, like the Lenovo Yoga Book. If I was working from a normal laptop I don't know where I'd put this in relation to it.

Agree 100%. From the trailer, at least, it looks like there's a separate "Free Roam" mode, and it will otherwise be normal Mario Kart. Also looks like they'll maybe have races that will span multiple tracks, which I can see being cool.

Also, even disregarding the inflation argument, video gaming is still one of the cheapest per hour hobbies.

I've got an honestly perfectly fine 1440p 75hz IPS display, but I've been eyeing up the newish IPS Black displays from Dell. Particularly the U2724D since it can hit 120hz. Anyone have any experience with them? Is the difference noticable?

My first "real" phone was the HTC Hero. Slow as heck and had a random trackball that I never used. Loved it though.

I don't think there was a single party I attended in high school where Rock Band or Guitar Hero wasn't present. Such a great party game for players and spectators alike. The younger generations are really missing out.

Shadow of the Colossus was barely even a game, it was art. I don't think I even played it for more than 20 hours total but just a simple masterpiece.

Doesn't Radeon Super Resolution work at the driver level and work with anything? I normally play games on a few year delay so that might be a dealbreaker if not the case

Yeah, I play at native 1440p. I only have a 75hz monitor so I'm not getting crazy fps anyway.

 

Currently using a 1440p 27", looking at upgrading to a 4K model mostly for dev work. I do occasionally game though but only have an rx6600 which obviously can't handle native 4K gaming. I'm wondering though if I just make use of FSR/Radeon Super Resolution I should be able to at a minimum get the same picture quality I'm getting right now with no loss in performance. Is that right?

 

Currently rocking two 1440p 27" monitors. My job is offering me $500 for home office improvements, so I'm looking at swapping one for a 34" 21:9 ultrawide. My brother got a LG 34GP83A-B two years ago and loves it. Is that still the best option? It'd be used mostly for programming, but I like to play a variety of games here and there. Looked at a few newer Dell Ultrasharps but they're more expensive and reviews say their bad for gaming due to motion blur.
