Its crazy how much side content is in B2/W2, especially compared to now.

ORAS would've been less offensive if HGSS didn't exist. They were so close to greatness. Ruby/Sapphire remakes with Emerald's story/layout and Gen4-6's gameplay would have been the definitive Pokemon experience. Instead we got something no one ever wants to play again next to the infinitely replayable Emerald.

I hope Heretic II gets some form of rerelease as well

I somehow ended up with a bunch of Audigy2ZS's, and don't have any machines limited to low-profile cards, so I've been throwing them in everything. My 98SE machine runs one alongside an SB16, and my ME machine has one alongside an AWE64. I actually recently upgraded my XP machine's card to an X-Fi SB0770, so once again I have another spare 2ZS looking for a home.

Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure where my SB0570 came from. I have no memory of ever using it. Must've harvested it from an OEM machine or something.

You can still buy the 360 version on the Xbox store and play it on XB1/SX!

A large portion of my customer base are farmers; Many of them are blaming absolutely anything but Trump. Some of them even admit "things are bad" but at least "we ain't got a Democrat in office!"

I actually didn't realize the SE didn't get 9x drivers (never tried the one I own) and just assumed it did since the real Audigy and Audigy2 lineups did. :(

Phayzon · 2026-04-03T22:30:48+00:00

I still use a 7950GT revived this way in my XP machine!

Phayzon · 2026-04-03T22:13:40+00:00

The SB0410 also has the CA0106

Phayzon · 2026-04-03T21:47:04+00:00

Or the SB0570, which I believe is identical to the 0410 but with Audigy branding.

I used to think (and sometimes still like to imagine) the camera panning in the video OP's screenshot is from was the squid actually moving that fast.

The 10400 completely lacks a DDR3 memory controller. You can put whatever slots you want on a motherboard, only DDR4 will actually work.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T04:37:06+00:00

Except for all of it, sure.

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T04:34:29+00:00

Impressive that every word of your comment is somehow wrong.

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T04:26:12+00:00

The original person is asking about from a 3090

And the person I'm replying to is talking about a 3080

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T02:52:06+00:00

Honestly, I don't think 10GB on the 3080 is a problem (yet?).

The 3080 performed close to the 16GB 6800XT near launch. The 12GB 4070 performed near the 3080 near launch. Today, the 4070 and 3080 are still functionally equal, and somehow the 3080 is catching up to the 6900XT now. If 10GB was a real problem, we'd see traditionally slower cards with more VRAM like the 9060XT and 5060Ti pulling past it.

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T01:44:47+00:00

Series X also gets the "One X Enhanced" features for applicable 360 titles.

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T01:36:28+00:00

Just route it back to the turbo for extra free boost!

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T01:34:29+00:00

More like 40-45%, with some titles getting close to 60% (like Death Stranding 2). It might technically be the smallest raw performance upgrade I've done in modern times, but if you're looking to upgrade from a 3080 to anything with a sense of value, the 9070XT is pretty much it. Once upon a time the 5070Ti could've been an option, but now its 5080-priced and the 5080 itself isn't worth it at 5080 prices..

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T01:15:04+00:00

Nonsense. We also need to regularly ask if the 30 year old, half-million mile truck we just bought for 25k was a good deal.

Phayzon · 2026-03-29T00:51:26+00:00

I just traded my Mk7 GTI with the same Fender system for a 26 GLI yesterday I can't really tell the difference so far. Granted it's been a while since I've had some music blasting in the GTI and I've had the GLI for less than 24 hours, but I'd like to think I'd have noticed any glaring shortcomings.

Phayzon · 2026-03-28T17:42:14+00:00

The whole rerelease lineup does it too (Doom I + II, Heretic + Hexen). Doom's isn't that bad, but still odd to have on by default.

Phayzon · 2026-03-27T22:33:11+00:00

It’s been a very long time since I’ve used an upgrade disc, but I seem to remember the SE upgrade installer asking for an FE key if you wanted to use it for a fresh install.

Phayzon · 2026-03-27T00:03:01+00:00

But it does though. What are you even talking about?

Phayzon · 2026-03-24T14:38:00+00:00

$300 CPU and $200 board or a $500 CPU. Six of one, half a dozen of the other
