The problem is that everybody sitting around that table thinks they're skilled enough.

Trump is a problem for the GOP. He has them over a barrel.

They can't get rid of him because they'll lose the crazy vote, and for sure, the crazy vote is about the only thing keeping them in the game right now.

And he gets to order them all about. And the GOP are a bunch of rich white me, and rich white men do not like that kind of thing. They like being the ones ordering people about. It's the natural order of things god damn it.

Their only real way of getting rid is either an assassination, or at least looking the other way when somebody else tries it. That way they get to keep the crazy vote. "Do it for Him" they'll cry. And they will. Either that or wait for the inevitable cardiac arrest to take him. But a man who dies on the toilet is going to get a lot less sympathy than if he's shot by an Obama loving abortionist.

It might do now. They've done a lot of improvements.

Even on PS5 it was an absolute mess in co-op. 30fps (if you were lucky) all round, constant freezes (several seconds) when swapping characters, many many crashes. Whenever we told it to save, we'd have to both touch nothing to make sure it didn't crash while saving. Oh, and there was a bug meaning only the player who chose to sleep for the day would get any companion progression.

I really like my PS5, but I see no value in a model costing 80% more and being only current for half a generation.

All that for an "up to" 40% performance increase.

I don't care how much of a graphics nerd someone is, that just isn't worth it.

Rookie mistake. You VNC to the office in one window and porn locally.

COVID also inflated a lot of tech stock massively, as everybody suddenly had to rely a lot more on it to get anything done, and the only thing you could do for entertainment was gaming, streaming movies, or industrial quantities of drugs.

Then that ended, and they all wanted to hold onto that "value".

It is a bubble, but whether it pops massively like in 2000, or just evens off to the point where everything else catches up, remains to be seen.

"The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" are wise words for anyone thinking of shorting this kind of thing.

Load times have always been bottlenecked by the CPU, so it's not a massive surprise that the SSD is about on par with a decent SD card.

On the PS4 an SSD was faster than a HDD, but not by a massive amount. At least it was quieter though.

It was MS that started that back on the OG Xbox.

I think all the F2P ones (and a handful of others like FFXIV) are exempt from it. At least on Playstation.

Oh it's made plenty for Nvidia.

I think the best thing about this gen is running those slightly too ambitious PS4 games at 60fps.

It's so nice to get a rerun of the Nazis for those that missed it the first time round.

I find it hilarious that anybody would go on stage and endorse political candidate who has never met them.

Might as well have just said "I'm hoping to sell my music to racists and establish myself as 'one of the good ones'".
