The NMS death threats are all procedurally generated and there are billions of them.

Bahaha those portable PCs, looking forward to use them, FOR ALL OF THE 10 FUCKING MINUTES A BATTERY WOULD LAST. Unless...they also want people to drag along a huge ass fucking power cord.

I just finished Hearts of Stone in time for Blood and Wine. Absolutely great fucking expansion filled with great fucking characters. Olgierd von Eveerec might as well just become my favorite character from the whole game.

Fuck I really want to play this shit....TOO MUCH TO PLAY!

Everyone that liked TW3 and that held the Bloody Baron questline as the high point of the game, writing-wise, owes it to themselves to try Hearts of Stone out.

You said the only thing that would get me to play that.

Started Monster Hunter 4 yesterday.  Haven't even yet started my first quest, but hey, I've created my character, Laethe, and his trusty palico companion Juno.  I'll be wielding a charge blade, or whatever they're called.  I'm a hammer man, but I figured that perhaps it's be nice to try out some of the new weapons.  I'll be sure to keep a decent hammer in backup though, for when the going gets rough.  I have an original 3DS, but I found the game so far to run perfectly.  Loading times are acceptable and the graphics look great on the small screen.  I'm not missing a second analogue stick either, as the D-pad on the touch screen works perfectly, as does the monstercam.  Looking forward to getting into this, although lack of time will probably keep me from really getting invested.

So everybody's laughing with the concept of backpack PC's, but I wouldn't write them off.  It looks like a very daft, very niche concept for VR at the moment, but something like this could improve the uptake of AR in the market.  How much better could something like the Hololens be today, if you could store the actual computer part in a backpack?  I'll refer to an example I made earlier on, where AR could really benefit couriers on bike, providing a 1:1 GPS and alerting them from possible dangerous situations.  These people are on bikes, often already carrying a backpack.

I'm not saying this is the future of AR, but it's a stopgap solution before technology becomes small enough to provide the same power built in to a head mounted display, which could give AR a 10 year headstart.

FMA:B update?

Isn't AMDs Sulon already covering that? Or mobile VR?

Yes, and if I recall correctly you mocked the graphical fidelity and framerate.

AMD reveals $199 GPU claiming $500 performance Radeon RX 480

(5.5TFlops) (VR-Ready)- Launching June 29th For $199

So a GPU more powerful than the upcoming XB1 Scorpio for $199.

Boo I say!!

I wonder if it'll be enough to entice PC gamers to switch camp.  Nvidea targeted the high-end market with the 1070 and 1080, leaving AMD with the advantage in the mid-range.  But will gamers jump ship, or stick with Nvidea regardless of actual performance?
