I have no idea what is in my ps4 or wii u. That is the luxury of them. Unlike my pc, which I research meticulouslyand troubleshoot regularly.

But you're not a journalist blogger whose job is to write about the subject. Is it too much to ask that those who write about such things "professionally" know what they are talking about?

Doovie critics need to be experts on technical aspects of filmaking? I think it helps to be knowledgeable, for sure, but the main requirement would seem to revolve around writing, not technical expertise.

 

Now this guy might be a rubbish writer, I have no idea. :p

Hahaha:

    But that analogy doesn't work because Steam, ports, framerate, and arguably GPU are part of game playing as well as game making. It would be like a TV and Film writer not knowing about Netflix, adaptations from film to TV presentation(they often have to edit for time and content), picture quality, and viewing devices. I suppose one can still write about such things without said knowledge, but I don't see how anyone with a modicum of knowledge would take their opinions seriously.

    She knows 9 transgender people who have committed suicide? Holy crap. I live in a city of 2 million people and have yet to meet one, let alone one that committed suicide.

    The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

    Maybe it's her who makes them suicide.
