Wait till you find out about Nvidia and AMD

Exactly. I personally do all my gaming on a desktop and have no desire for “mobile” gaming, but I’m super excited to get a Switch 2 just for introducing my very young kids to Split-screen Mario kart with that joycon wheel

Such a shame. I do think Halo was very much already the spiritual successor to Marathon, and I know all the studios just want to have the big multiplayer game that everyone plays for years and years these days, but man was I excited when I first saw the teaser for this last year. I still name all my computer equipment after Marathon AIs.

I feel like this form factor makes sense more when it’s included with the laptop, like the Lenovo Yoga Book. If I was working from a normal laptop I don’t know where I’d put this in relation to it.

Agree 100%. From the trailer, at least, it looks like there’s a separate “Free Roam” mode, and it will otherwise be normal Mario Kart. Also looks like they’ll maybe have races that will span multiple tracks, which I can see being cool.

Also, even disregarding the inflation argument, video gaming is still one of the cheapest per hour hobbies.

My first “real” phone was the HTC Hero. Slow as heck and had a random trackball that I never used. Loved it though.

I don’t think there was a single party I attended in high school where Rock Band or Guitar Hero wasn’t present. Such a great party game for players and spectators alike. The younger generations are really missing out.

Shadow of the Colossus was barely even a game, it was art. I don’t think I even played it for more than 20 hours total but just a simple masterpiece.

Doesn’t Radeon Super Resolution work at the driver level and work with anything? I normally play games on a few year delay so that might be a dealbreaker if not the case

Yeah, I play at native 1440p. I only have a 75hz monitor so I’m not getting crazy fps anyway.

How do these exist but I’m still not able to find a 2560x1600 resolution monitor

As far as charging goes there are only 3 USB-C cables.

• 60W - All USB-C to USB-C cables can do at least 60W in the form of 20V 3A
• 100W (Deprecated) - USB PD 3.0 introduced up to 100W charging using 20V 5A. Cables need an EPR (Extended power range) marker in order to allow this
• 240W - USB PD 3.1 extended the limit to 240W via 48V 5A. These cables have a 240W EPR marker.

All USB-C devices are supposed to support one of these three modes. HOWEVER, some cheaper devices don’t actually support the USB PD protocol, and only support legacy USB charging. For these you need a USB-A to USB-C cable or adapter. USB-C ports won’t provide power unless both devices are able to negotiate

I’ve never even heard of Crodino until this post. Might need to see if I can find some, sounds interesting

Interesting twist! I have to say though the best Whiskey Sour I’ve ever had comes from Suderman

• 1.5oz Bourbon
• .5oz Apple Brandy like Laird’s BiB
• 1oz Lemon Juice
• .5oz 2:1 Simple
• .5oz Velvet Falernum
• 1 Egg White or other foaming agent

Reverse dry shaken, and then a bunch of Angostura drops on top of the foam of the finished drink.

Yeah, mostly just want the ultrawide for work. Don’t game super frequently, but don’t want it to be a blurry mess when I do

I hate the “5K2K” nomenclature. Why not just ultrawide 2160p.

Does look like a nice monitor though.

Anyone have any experience with the ExpertBook line? I’ve only ever heard recs for Lenovo’s and HP’s business lines.

So Intel is following AMD now with a super confusing naming scheme?

I’m surprised Microsoft ranked so low. They’ve really been pushing repairability in their recent models
