Long time supporter, and will continue to be as long as I can imagine!

AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT arrive March 6th, AMD dive deeper into RDNA 4 and FSR 4

I find it interesting there's just a $50 gap between the two. Which means .... why does the regular 9070 even exist? If you're spending that kind of money, the difference is negligible and you get a much better card.

edit: actually comparatively the prices seem quite good, lol.

Steam Deck Folio is a slim protective travel cover that doubles up as a stand

This seems interesting to me! I'll follow it for sure. I hope it exists kickstarter and then I'll get it on the regular store.

Framework announce the Framework Desktop, Framework Laptop 12 and upgraded Framework Laptop 13

I'm kind of at a loss to how awful this product launch is. This seems like a MASSIVE swing and a miss from framework, and I adore them for their laptops. This is extremely disappointing to me. They made a really expensive NUC, but even shittier than an actual nuc.

- no gpu
- soldered on cpu (wtf!)
- soldered on ram (wtf!)
- REALLY expensive

This isn't even a desktop computer. If the major components are soldered on, and it's missing a gpu, this is just a shittier version of their laptops, but in bigger form.

HUGE wasted opportunity from them to create a maker kit level plug and play desktop computer than even children could play around with and swap parts in and out of willy nilly. Instead we get this ............... whatever this is.

The Talos Principle: Reawakened launches in April with a demo live

I too am confused as to why this exists.

The original game still to this day looks gorgeous, so a visual "upgrade" is really a downgrade since it uses ue5. I absolutely loved the original game, and consider myself a huge fan, so theoretically I'm their direct target audience, and I don't even understand why this exists and have no interest in it. I can't possibly imagine they're going to make a large amount of income from this compared to just selling the original. Baffling.

The second game didn't have the magic the first one did, my friend and I gave up about halfway through. Maybe someday we'll get back to it.

Playtron GameOS Alpha 3 brings the 'GameLAB' tool for game configuration and remote management

@dpanter

GameOS... definitely one of the names of all time.
The more I hear about this totally-not-a-scam project, the less I wish I heard about it.
BUT ... BUT ... IT HAS CRYPTO BRO. Listen, this device is going to train state-of-the-art algorithms, build cognitive frameworks, predict algorithmic tensor transformations, and absolutely dominate the market with blockchain integration at the NFT level with gen ai frameworks.

If you'll excuse me, I have to return to my sewer, so I'll just leave you with our investment opportunities form and bertcoin payment link. See ya bro!

Phil Spencer of Microsoft Gaming thinks generative AI will help game preservation
20 Feb 2025 at 4:13 pm UTC Likes: 4

At some point, this whole "AI everything" thing will come crashing down. But until then, we will see more and more executives dreaming up things that won't happen. Game preservation is absolutely vital, and there's so many ways to do it correctly, but getting an AI to dream one up that it thinks is accurate is definitely not it.
You put it perfectly.

Also. Can the crash please happen, like, tomorrow? The whole deepseek thing is helping, but I'd love to just turbocharge the collapse so we can be through and done with all the absurdity.

Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam

don't forget cloud saves. I can't remember when that launched but that was titanic for us pc gamers. No longer having to dig through archaic folders and burn the saves to a dvd, or seperate hard drive, etc... Or worry that your backups might get lost or whatever. Cloud saves were HUGE, and as far as I can remember, steam was the only place doing that.
