My godamn cat got caught up in some wires near the tv and brought down my switch and dock, crashing 2ft down onto a hard floor, face down on the screen.
I was ready to disown her but the Switch didn't get a godamned, scratch or crack and works fine. Phew.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood??
I decided to get a new graphics card for my PC.
I'm thinking of building a whole new PC around the time the new consoles come out, which is still likely about two years away. My current PC I built in the summer of 2012, just before the current gen kicked in...and I gotta say; the fucker is still pretty damn great as long as it's 1080p. I got the best gaming parts I could at the time, without going totally oveboard on unnecessary fluff because honestly, there's a lot of hype around the uber best of the best with PC tech that most of the time is overkill. As long as you build a PC that is beyond the current console tech, you really don't need to get too much crazier than that, and certainly don't need to upgrade beyond that until a substantial tech increase comes along.
It seems like we're getting to that time now. You have the new CPU lines out now, and they're going to be used in the new consoles which means the tech will actually be put to use. If the consoles can't keep up with a certain area, it's just not going to be fully utilized in the PC space either...that's just the way it is. So that's great news. Also, the new GTX 2080 line just came out which is honestly overkill at this point and will go down as an in between card; great now, obsolete two years from now when new consoles and new PC cards release.
So I've had the same GPU since 2012...the mighty GTX 680 4gb. The card is still to this day able to run every game around high settings at 1080p. Definitely can't push resolutions beyond that though, and from this point until the new consoles release in a few years, it's going to really begin showing it's age. So I decided to trade it in and pick up a nice cheap stop gap card, the EVGA GTX 1060 6gb. It's not a 1080 ti or anything, but at 1080p, it's more than good enough for a few years of gaming.
That brings me to another point. The whole resolution fad is so overblown. While 4K is nice, it doesn't come close to the jump from SD to 1080p. I have a PS4 Pro and a 4K TV, and I still think 1080p is more than fine. Especially when 4K comes at the cost of frame rates and actual graphical upgrades. I just don't think the need is really there yet for 4K. Just trying to run at that resolution takes up so many resources it's insane. Maybe when the new consoles come out, by that time it will be the best of both worlds.
So that should be cool having a new beefier GPU to mess with...kind of like going from an Xbone to an Xbone X. It should be great for new games like Resident Evil 2 or Cyberpunk. In terms of building a whole new rig...to me now is a bad time. Maybe others feel different, but I've always felt a great time to build a PC is when new consoles get announced. You know the specs to shoot for, and high end parts are cheaper. You build one now, in the middle of a generation, and it's behind the curve in a few years.
So here's to my EVGA GTX 680. You served me well from the time Witcher 2 came out until now. R.I.P.
You hold your ground for a while but then fall in the water and have to respawn?

Nah, I bubble shield and wreck em. Or I used too.

Interesting
Sadly that game will probably bomb. I've always thought it looked pretty neat though.

Cool footage of the N64 versions of RE0.
Happy Weed Wednesday everybody!
Recreational marijuana is now legal here in Canada.
Nice! My 970 is great for 1080p and that's what I run mostly everything at. Perfect 60fps and high quality. Will wait for a year or two into next gen to get a new PC. Mainly for VR gen 2.
What the F is this Huawei thing?
It only had one side of a controller? What the heck?
How the hell did this story go without comment?
Sega cancelled a full-fledged Shenmue HD remake
It was a remake, not a remaster and there is footage there.
I’m not really that big of a Shenmue fan myself so it just kind of got a “Meh” from me. Now a tale of swords and boobies, that’s more my style.
If I zoom in close enough I can almost see you waving in the window.
Yeah I think anything from the 900 series cards and up will be great for the next few years. Then at some point we'll be able to get insane deals on Ryzen cpu's and whatever the top tier gpu cards are in a few years. I'm assuming DDR4 memory will still be standard and whatever else is easy stuff next to the cpu and gpu. As long as I can play everything at max settings for the following 7 years I'm happy.
I saw the Shenmue thing. I had already watched the digital foundry video about it so I didn't feel like commenting.
Honestly, It's probably best they just did the slight HD upgrade and kept it as it was. If they had really upped the visuals without also improving the gameplay after 18 years, this particular series would feel pretty odd I think. I think doing proper remakes of both Shenmue games wasn't really in SEGA's budget. I'd like to see the Yakuza team do a reimagining of the old games though.
Congrats to Canada! Hopefully the US government will do the same soon. Arresting people for weed is insane.
