LOL
Everyone before this talk at GDC
"Don't get too excited there is nothing for consumers here"
What has been confirmed
- Over 10x RT perf over RDNA2!!!
- Plays Xbox Console games
- Xbox Helix are PC Games
More info coming
- Official 360 emu coming to PC
- Xbox Mode for PC
Xbox Helix doubles down on Steam Machine needing to be $500-600
If it's any higher, it will have a short shelf life.
For Marathon, currently I'm off by a factor of 2.
Which means sales wise, it's clearly way over 100k
Will have to see where this is next week.
Wow!
I liked Slay the Spire alright enough. But Slay the Spire 2 hitting 150k CCU right now is amazing me!
Congrats to the team!
If I were going to buy a MacBook, this is the only MacBook I'd buy today.
MacBook Pro 16
M5 Max
128GB ram
$5400 is pretty high though.
Going over the numbers for Marathon:
> Wishlist data
> preorder charts
> Server slam CCU data
I'm currently thinking Steam will have ~40k CCU on launch week (100k sold)
6y prod burn at $200-300m
They need to sell ~7-11m copies to break even
It looks bleak for Bungie
Was a bit under the weather last night and just vegged out playing Starfield.
The DLC was really good. It was a very "complete" location and filled in some pretty cool story for a faction of the lore.
Back to 100% complete on cheevos but I still want to do space battles.
Marathon server slam started 15 minutes ago
Solid numbers!
Some people would look at this and go, "Wow that's awesome! 10,000 games"
And I look at it and go, "when will I have the time to play these?"
I couldn't be sure but looks like there is a backend API that isn't secured and someone is sending something to initialize these.
As a cautionary PSA,
If you get any notifications from Xbox saying to take a screenshot and it should take you to a gallery.
I'd advise not interacting with it and potentially silencing them
Started playing Starfield again.
I was hoping to wait for the "2.0" update but then started the new DLC and now I'm hooked again.
Went on a mission, got some sweet loot and then upgraded it on my amazing ship.
Starfield is awesome actually.
No more snow please
A gaming CEO doesn’t need raid clears to allocate capital. But the choreographed “see my cheevos” pageantry feels like gaming theater
Lacquered authenticity
I empathize w/ those who sense this as insulting but are unable to articulate:
The subtext is condescension, not respect
I am captivated by the art direction of Replaced. Love the use of pixel fonts to keep that feeling consistent.
The demo is now available on Steam
My Steam Machine now has Mesa 26
Time to see if those ray tracing improvements are pulling water
There appears to be an issue
God of War Sons of Sparta is not on Steam.
Haha <3
😂
37.7778 in Celsius is very bad for humans.
Or
100 in Fahrenheit is very bad for humans.
It's easy to see which one is better because one is Base10 for humans and the other is not.
Hope that helps.
(Fahrenheit should replace Celsius in the metric system)
I've now seen a number of posts talking about Emulation as "something you need to learn"
The idea of "you need to learn how to use an emulator" is an alien idea
Genuinely puzzled as to how this is considered technical wizardry of any kind.
Haven't checked the video directly, here are a number of reasons
- heterogenous scheduler is superior on Linux still
- not sure what powercfg Windows is using in the example (EPP, c-states)
AYANEO's crowdfunding for their Strix Halo handheld is going now.
The 395 with 64GB of ram is 2300 and the 385 with 32GB of ram is 1800
A bit on the pricier side of Strix Halo handhelds, but always nice to see more options
Vita mean life!
The Anbernic RG Vita has arrived and I can't believe they went with a different DPAD
That's practically sacrilege!
HOPIUM or COPIUM
You know how we've heard about the Playstation PC Launcher. What if...
What if the Playstation PC Launcher is integrated directly into the next Xbox on Day 1?

The Switch 2 is 100% better than the Steam Deck when docked.
But when the Switch 2 is in handheld mode.. it's not really the case.
NEW VIDEO
The Steam Machine is actually NOT Delayed... Just the price and launch date news is delayed.
BUT! There's actually GOOD NEWS about the Steam Machine that's actually very important. You can find out about that in the...
Video Below:

"Investigating improved upscaling" and "optimizing ray tracing performance"
These are going to be two critical components that will determine if the current Steam Machine will have legs into the future.
FSR4 already looks like a clean path but RT needs significant boosts.
Regardless of where you stand, certainly there is an aspect of respecting the "Go Big or Go Home" energy required to tag at the apex of something under-construction.
