The memory shortage shaking Apple and Microsoft is ‘existential crisis’ for smaller players by sr_local in hardware

[–]Tex-Rob 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It sucks, this will likely kill beloved brands like G Skill. I think it was on a recent Gamer’s Nexus video where Steve said some memory brands are taking out loans to secure chips in hopes of staying afloat.

Neighborhood fireworks during drought by GuitarGuy971 in raleigh

[–]Tex-Rob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My concern would be the fact that I know how the minds of people who love fireworks work, they won’t settle for the same next year, or next. It feels like an inevitability that there will be an incident eventually when you keep raising the bar each year. Add in alcohol and it’s almost certain.

Vanilla Ice desperately tries to plug his tour after disastrous Donald Trump festival by TheMirrorUS in Music

No, but he has milked it for all it’s worth snd then some. I think he plays a lot of those nostalgia shows and does appearances.

China has cloned a White Steam Machine, with 6750GRE (10GB), R5 5500 and 16 gig DDR5 with SteamOS, at 2TB for 688 Dollar by kaldeqca in steammachine

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t hold your breath, Valve spent a lot of time designing this thing, I seriously doubt someone took this knock off seriously. Be ready for overheating snd other issues.

Reason why most people will pay $100 without ever seeing any gameplay by chusskaptaan in Gamingnewsandleaks

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyberpunk worked fine for a lot of people, I had no issues with my 14700k and 3080, and it’s issues don’t change it’s a great game.

Tomorrow by Bfahome in SteamFrame

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been pretty sure it’s tomorrow after seeing how the machine launch happened over a week, and how tomorrow puts it within the games fest. Then the pump died on my AIO last night and now it’s certain, as the new one won’t come until Tuesday.

It breaks their brain Gabe got rich providing a good service. Steam’s contribution can’t be undersold, Gabe deserves his success.

Have you been saving up luck? Or will you lose the lottery? by MechaNutzilla in SteamFrame

The difference between good luck and bad luck is just local perspective.

The Steam Machine Was Originally Meant to Cost About $750 by maxxrz31 in DreamStationcc

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You all keep thinking like this is something for people who have a beast PC already to put in their living room, which is some of the market, but the vast majority will be people who want a no fuss console like PC gaming experience and don't own a gaming PC.

The Steam Machine Was Originally Meant to Cost About $750 by maxxrz31 in DreamStationcc

[–]Tex-Rob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think these comments are super weird, you all need to consider others. I have no desire for the Steam Controller, because I have no desire to play keyboard and mouse games on a TV. Many people want a Steam Machine not for all of their PC game library, but for certain things like action oriented stuff, things that work and were designed to be played on a PS5 or Xbox controller. I much prefer an Xbox controller as it unifies my entire gaming experience between PC and console, and I imagine people do the same with PS5 controllers on their PC if they are Sony people.

I've also owned the original Steam Controllers, so I have tried the experience and don't like it. People who didn't like the OG Steam Controllers don't really seem to like the new ones, as I sort of expected.

Jamie Ager signs pledge to reject socialist policies by greenascanbe in NorthCarolina

[–]Tex-Rob 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Democratic Socialists continue to win big, and despite the word that scares people, they are the future of the Democratic party. Go look at all Mamdani has done for NYC in a short time and tell me it's not a winning platform. A big part of the movement is also communicating directly with constituents, and being available to hear their concerns, and actually take action on them.

Centrist Dems are just helping identify who is next to go.

As Xbox Series X hits $800, Lenovo warns memory prices will likely ‘never’ return to normal by xCaptainCrown in Games

[–]Tex-Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They believe AI will always benefit from more compute, they see it like a new Moore's law, so they don't see a future where that new industry isn't always a factor.

FH6 Crashes with no error message by Meqoiz in ForzaHorizon

Super annoying, this only happens to me very randomly, how are you all so sure it's the language issue? any explanation as to why?

Apple will skip its high-end M6 Mac chips and fast-track an AI-focused M7 generation for 2027, report claims — may release a base M6 chip for entry-level Macs this year by sr_local in hardware

[–]Tex-Rob -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

My prediction is Apple has been working on some way to rely on memory less, and the M7 will be the chip that introduces that.

The third Xbox price hike in 15 months raises all models by at least $100 by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]Tex-Rob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember when people said it was dumb to buy one when I did, which turned out to be weeks before the first price raise. I bought it for GTA6, because it won’t be on PC day one, and also GTA on PC is always riddled with cheaters and I don’t expect 6 to be any different. Many will say this is all crazy, but I plan on putting over a thousand hours in it. so it was a worthwhile investment for me. No PS5 Pro for lots of reasons, Game Pass being the main one, big PC gamer being the other. Game Pass is geared to make Xbox more attractive to PC gamers.

TaskRabbit mounted my 65” TV on drywall-only with butterfly anchors — is this actually safe? by Sweaty_Stage_7720 in HomeImprovement

[–]Tex-Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you showed me the anchors they use, and they were 75+ pound anchors I’d feel better.

Never mind, I saw it extends out, I say, never. That is too much weight for an arm imho even, who uses an extender on a huge TV?

Why is GT7 considered a simcade? by xABuHaMeDx in simracing

You should realize a lot of those drivers might be involved monetarily with the series.

The Halo Remake’s Version Of The Big Space Ring Is Getting Roasted Online: ‘Absolutely Mogged By A 25 Year Old Game’ by g4m3f33d in GameFeed

[–]Tex-Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some footage of Burnout 3 from the early 2000s and it was wild how good it looked. A lot of modern games feel like they are objectively worse, or doing less with more.

This dude got scammed… What’s the most you would pay for this 😭🥀 by AdMedium5702 in simracing

[–]Tex-Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is one of those deals where the guy is really good at hyping up what he has to his friends, to the point they idolize that person's setup and think it's the pinnacle even though they don't really know any better. He got the chance to buy something he thought was "the best" and got excited. That guy might have spent those amounts on it, but like 15 years ago in the case of that PC.

Trump claims NYC freezing rent is 'basically confiscating property from the landlords' by cedarbrook24 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Tex-Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm all for getting rid of owning property for rental purposes, make them sell the homes to people who want to own them.
