Some thoughts on High On Life. It's a first person shooter. The gimmick is talking weapons, primarily your gun, but you get a talking knife too. Once the talking weapon gimmick is no longer novel, you're left with a fairly plain shooter. It's not bad, by any means, and it's very colorful and kinda goofy, but, well, it's a shooter. You can lasso things to swing across gaps and also to hang from rails, sort of like in BInfinite, but beyond that it's a regular ol' shooter.

I wish I still had my Voodoo 3 3000, my first ever GPU.

I guess I'll root for Argentina, lesser of 2 evils and all that. *sigh*

This seems like the type of movie that needs to be full-on schlock, but I don't get that vibe from the trailer. My interpretation is that this IS Earth, prehistoric Earth, to be exact. Meaning that the "humans" here are from another planet.

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be a day 1 GamePass release.

@ComradeYellowhas a rather different definition of "a few hundred" than I do, it seems. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the eventual Zen4/RDNA3 APUs. There's been a whole bunch of handhelds recently released utilizing the 6800U APU with 8 Zen3+ cores and 12 CUs of RDNA2. They're actually quite capable by all accounts. In theory, an eventual 7800U, or whatever they wind up calling it, should be a 1080p champion.

Everyone send your energy to Morocco tomorrow.

Delivery guys and gals generally just put the package in front of my door. Luckily, none of my neighbors are thieves so it's never been an issue. Back when I drove over the road I had packages sit in front of my door for several days and no one stole them.

The 7900 XT should have been $799.

^ Fireball Island was awesome. I had everybody coming over when I got that game.

Nomenclature issues aside, the RX 7900 XT is a terribly priced GPU, much like the RTX 4080, maybe even more so. I mean, the prices on all of these cards are horrific, but the 7900 XT is particularly egregiously priced when compared to the XTX. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a price cut on it fairly quickly, much like what happened with the Ryzen 7xxx CPUs. The RX 7900 XTX, on the other hand, will probably stay at the current price for quite a while, as it's a "good value" (I'm speaking in relative terms here), will likely remain in short supply for at least a couple months, and is already being scalped by scumbags.

High On Life The character appearance selector is a cocaine mirror. I don't even need to see any more. Game of the Year 2022.

I agree on V-Cache, but I wouldn't do it on RDNA3, that's asking for trouble. They just introduced chiplets to GPUs with RDNA3 and there will surely be kinks to work out. I think it's a bad idea to add more than 1 new technology in a given generation. I know both of these have been done before on CPUs, but GPUs bring different challenges. In my opinion the smarter move would be to save V-Cache for RDNA4.

What could they do with a 7950 XTX besides raise the clocks? AIB cards are already going to bring higher clocks. This is already the full 96 CUs of Navi31, they can't add any more CUs. I suppose HBM instead of GDDR, but that would involve a significant price hike. Still, the 7900 XTX, and for the most part the 7900 XT can already handle 4K comfortably. Changing the second number from the right isn't going to get it anywhere near playable 8K, not to mention that 8K is currently a pipe dream anyway. So what's even the point? Games aren't going to push far beyond where we are currently for several years because the lowest common denominator are the MSony consoles. We're looking at at least 4 more years before a PS6 or xXxBxOxXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXx. Edit: I'll answer my own question. The point is that some dumbasses will buy a 7950 XTX that's 4% faster for $200 more.

Since you really like Elf you should definitely watch Elves.

@BartimaeusIt's mathematically possible, but y'all need to pass an awful lot of teams to get to the 7 seed. Stranger things have happened, though.

I can't possibly consider a $1000 GPU as a good value, but at least it's a slightly less terrible value than the RTX 4080. As far as upgrading goes, it comes down to what is your goal and does what you currently have achieve that goal satisfactorily.

tl;dw Can't hang with the 4090 but it beats the more expensive 4080 more often than not in rasterization. Somewhat competitive with mild ray tracing but falls behind with heavy ray tracing.

Even the Eagles had a 3 or 4 week stretch where they looked very beatable and did lose once, but have been the most consistently great team. Muh Boys are extremely frustrating because all the pieces are there. When we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot we're dominant on both sides of the ball. We got away with the turnovers against the Colts and Texans because those teams are terrible, but if we do that in the playoffs... Well, it will be the standard one and done for muh Boys.

The legend of Big Brock is growing in San Francisco. Also, are the Lions good? It feels weird to even pose that question.

I'm assuming that you're saving the best Christmas movie ever made, Die Hard, for Christmas Day.

Muh Boys continuing their recent trend of playing like dog$#!+ and shooting themselves in the foot, repeatedly, in the first half. 2 turnovers, a fumble on a punt and a pick thrown by Dak. This is the 3rd straight game with multiple turnovers in the first half. We're lucky to only be down by 3. Edit: Trevon Diggs is an alien Edit 2: I said we'd have a stupid loss somewhere in this stretch of easy games and it doesn't get more stupid than losing to the Texans. Edit 3: We won! HOLY **** WE WON! HOW!? Muh Boys had no business winning that game. By all rights we should be 9-4. Then that EPIC goal line stand and the beautiful 98 yard game winning drive. Dak was really shaky all game until that last drive, then he suddenly turned into the greatest QB on planet Earth. Laser precision on that last drive. We have 10 wins and I'm operating on the assumption that 10 wins gets you in to the playoffs in the NFC. It's all gravy from here until the playoffs. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go have a heart attack.

I would imagine 6000 MHz would be the sweet spot for Zen4 so that you could have a 3:1 ratio with Infinity Fabric clock at 2000 MHz. If they ever manage to hit 8000 MHz with a sane voltage that would be the hookup, but who knows how feasible that is with DDR5?

I don't generally like Hollywood musicals, but I'm totally fine with musical numbers in Bollywood movies.
