Quoting: mircallaLooks interesting, but...

> conquering ancient Gaul with your Roman legions
> reasonably historically accurate
> craters from cannon fire

I think that's from the developer's website where they're comparing persistent effects to North & South not about Roma Invicta itself :whistle:
But but but the gauls had astrix and obelix, and obelix would trash those Romans around leaving craters and such every ;)

buy games individually OR pay monthly
I don't think you really buy games on stadia, closest to really buying a game these days is GOG with their offline installer

Quoting: BumadarThe i5 12400 is cheap compared to the amd 5600x and they are really close performance wise, but looking a bit further, the motherboard prices are higher, so seems a total package will be around the same price. But since amd did not really have competition in this segment there was no need for them to drop prices till now.
Read till the end, they've also announced low-end chipsets. Although you should avoid the H610, since that only has one memory channel.
Ty, I did, but I still think in the end it will be around the same cost/performance
Well, a leaked price list from Asus shows them going down to $120, so I don't see how?
as I said, amd did not have to drop prices till now, as there was no competition in this segment, so they will and we going to end up pretty similar. But time will tell.

Anyone know a good readup about this oneAPI? The programmer in me keeps thinking why the heck would you want one huuuuuuge api that does everything instead of an api for a specific task... but maybe I am getting old
