Vague, mixed messaging is the standard for SW. Every other planet looks the same in these D+ shows. There were many sparsely-grassed, low-rolling hills in Mando. I've just had to accept that you really can't analyze the logistics of the show. Filoni, as the sole credited writer, definitely seems to focus on reverence for the past and doing cool stuff, and plays loosely with how he gets there.

These rich dudes have been manipulating us for years. Musk molded his image through media appearances, making cameos in movies, getting name drops in TV shows, news articles and interviews, all in an effort to get us to view him as a real-life Tony Stark. Likewise Trump's PR team revamped his image through The Apprentice, priming half the population to believe he's competent and authoritative. I don't think we had a chance at manipulating these narcissists.

Image quality comparisons to DLSS3 seem like a bigger issue than input lag. Waiting for some comparisons.

What about Asylum and City?

Leaked Microsoft Documents Show the Xbox Series S Might Be More Popular Than You Think - IGN WWW.IGN.COM A court document from the big Xbox leak reveals that 75 percent of Xbox Series owners own the cheaper, less powerful Series S console. If Xbox can only compete on sales at a lower cost, the ARM efficiency would make sense as a possible path for them.

Holy cow. Explains why the couple of times I did try XCloud via Game Pass I was thoroughly disappointed. I was also jabbing about how they promised the Xbone would offload computational tasks to the cloud. And it's possible they might actually do "Hybrid Cloud" by offloading AI and have ChatGPT derived NPCs.

Oh wow, they sound sooooo committed to Cloud Hybrid Games they've been promising since the Xbone.

Switch is like a portable Wii U* *portable outside of 5 meters.

If you're saying it spikes into the 70s while mostly idling or light use, then yes that is a problem. If it's going into the 70s while gaming or under full load, that is totally normal for a 7800x3D. But judging from the looks of that cooler, it's definitely not suitable for long term high CPU loads. There's just not enough thermal mass and dissipation for a high end 8 core CPU. Might want to also try resetting the CPU into the socket. If the CPU isn't making good contact with the motherboard, that can also cause RAM related issues. Check for bent pins or debris. And definitely, definitely update the BIOS if you haven't yet. There's a button by the USB ports on the back to do it, and you don't even need a CPU installed. Not only is there better RAM support, but some early BIOS on some motherboards were causing 7800X3Ds to blow up because they were sending too high of a voltage to it.

The stiffness is definitely intentional, and I think this characteristic is supposed to "rhyme" with how all of the council members in the prequels had the same demeanor and not necessarily just be a result of Ahsoka getting older. I'm just not in love with execution. Even an older and considered Obi-Wan, Luke, and Yoda had distinct personalities. The episode was a nostalgia trip. Ahsoka was visited by the Force Ghost of Order 66 Past. If we don't finally get to see a happier Scrooge my disappointment in the series will continue. I can't see any reason for the show's pace to not pick up as we're going to an entirely new galaxy and will presumably get to see the first live action Ezra and/or Thrawn.

It was slow in both regards. And honestly, repeating "rhyming" plot points is what most of the sequel Star Wars does - even moreso than what Lucas did with the prequels. I'm still waiting for the explanation as to how we got to this version of Ahsoka (bland, boring, emotionless "Jedi Master") from the Ahsoka in Rebels who proclaimed "I am no Jedi."

I think it's safe to say "slow" is Filoni's directorial style for live action. It's been his go-to so far (classic Western/Samurai inspired), and I hope he's got something more in the bag because I don't think this style will translate to the movie he's supposed to be making.

Most likely an out-of-date BIOS with bad RAM support. Some CPUs and Mobo, especially on older BIOS, have trouble running RAM faster than 5600.

SSD is part of the minimum specs.

An Nvidia driver update will most likely boost performance, as right now you have to manually enforce ReBar which helps framerates. Don't use Ultra shadows on Nvidia cards. And look into the DLSS mod. I can't imagine you're using a bad CPU if you have a 3080, which is good enough to play the game (just not at Ultra settings).

Sounds like your AI has aged too much.

From what I've seen, the 4770k will probably average like 30 fps and probably stutter. Six cores is the minimum recommended, and the game also loves memory speeds.

AMD Ryzen 7800X3D CPU is pretty good bang for the buck. A decent motherboard will be around $200 (or more), and you will need new DDR5 RAM which you can get under $100. AMD could bring out more processors for this platform in the future, but it's not guaranteed for how long. Starfield in particular does perform better with Intel CPUs. If you go with an Intel, they will only release one more set of future CPU upgrades. The 13600K or 13700K would be good values, and again you'll also need DDR5 RAM. Would also be recommended to have a good cooler. If you currently have one, you'll probably need to find an adapter to fit the new sockets.

Why do we need to know things when my droid Siri/Alexa/Google can do it for me?

Weekend at Bernie's.

Ok, it's not quite as bad as Anakin telling Padme he murdered women and children and then Padme telling Anakin she deeply loves him, but the rest of TPM and AOTC is comparable. Lots of standing or sitting exposition dumps, and too much

Changing my TV's color temperature from neutral, where every other show looks fine, to cool drastically enhances color saturation, bringing it into alignment with most other TV shows [although IIRC Obi-Wan was also very drab]. It looks so much better now. It's too bad the writing is... peak prequel-trilogy-dialogue bad.

81 Didn't want to be in Stepee's since he gave me a video card in the past, but I'd definitely love a portable PC.

HWMonitor will tell you how much life your SSD has.

Not sure how I missed this thread last week as I'd love for a chance to get Jedi: Survivor.
