Why would I expect prices to go down? Prices are not driven by cost.

ChatGPT regurgitates answers that are not logically consistent (particularly if you ask anything that deals with morals). I had it "break" mid-answer when I was trying to get it to reconcile two different answers it gave me. The "hedges" it gives when it tries to respond to anything slightly controversial are a sight to behold.

Physical media isn't a thing anymore. Movies are mostly streamed. Music is mostly streamed. Phone/Tablet content is exclusively download/streamed. PC games are exclusively downloaded. Solid state memory is now really cheap to include in a console. There is no reason to have cartridges in 2023 -- let alone 2024/2025. Particularly ones you need to manufacture, package, distribute and pay a margin on.

It's 2023 -- there is no reason for physical media.

As someone who just built -- my last build was incredibly easy compared to everything I've done before. The only thing that I found "fiddly" was screwing in the mother board. I found using an AIO vs. an air cooler to simply things a lot. Because this was the first time I installed my own case fans -- I can say the cable routing for 6 RGB case fans is time consuming. There is no one local that can help you with the build?

@Slug Thanks for doing this. It's always a lot of fun. If you do this format again, there needs to be a way for you to submit picks that you aren't at a disadvantage -- you always picking first is not fair for you.

Actually, I just learned that it does. Apparently the law changed when I was out of the country.

I stopped drinking Mountain Dew because it doesn't have caffeine in Canada (by law, the only pop that can have caffeine is Cola.)

Their support of the Isla Bryson case was the nail in the coffin. Estranged wife of trans double rapist Isla Bryson says she is 'delighted' Nicola Sturgeon has quit | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK EXCLUSIVE: The estranged wife of transgender rapist Isla Bryson, Shonna Graham, has today expressed her 'delight' at the news that Nicola Sturgeon has quit.

Even if they are made illegal, it won't stop them.

Clearly all games should have their female NPCs look like 20-something porn stars, and give you the ability to have sex with them every 20-30 minutes. And the best way to manage that sex is by requiring you to choose 2-3 prompts in a dialog tree (or by selecting an item in your inventory). And by sex, I actually mean displaying a poorly drawn card of the NPC half nude on the screen. The only thing better would if it also sometimes gave you the option to have sex with 5 vampires at the same time! That would be story telling at its best.

I believe I called The Witcher a "fucking tour of Eastern Europe" and got lots of negative reactions here. That part of the game was truly gross.

Hogwarts Legacy's first patch hasn't fixed performance issues for everyone | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Players report that the stuttering continues.

This patch isn't a huge DL -- however it patches 35GB of files. Under a minute to install the patch on my PC, but about 10 minutes on the Steam Deck. Edit: It's been updating for almost 15 minutes now.... Still not done.

Source - Raiders release QB Derek Carr before contract deadline WWW.ESPN.COM The Raiders cut quarterback Derek Carr on Tuesday after the veteran quarterback declined to waive his no-trade clause and just before more than $40 million of his contract would have become guaranteed. The only QB on the Raiders roster is Chase Garbers -- an UDFA who has never thrown a pass in the NFL.

Terry Bradshaw making stupid insensitive jokes? So unlike him.

That's what I have! (My mouse is Swiftpoint, but I've never even bothered to adjust the RGB on it.)

The only one I have used is iCue.

OK. You guys have convinced me. I've got to finish up Control as quick as possible, and start this. I bought it for the wife, but....

What are the odds of a Windows RGB controller being good on launch?

If he signs with the Jets, I 100% agree. If he signs with the Texans -- nope.

If the pilots are skilled, they could just use a gatling gun. Or, that's what Ace Combat taught me.
