The only tragedy I see here is that the shooter killed himself. RIP

Well, they would certainly know one when they see it.

I haven’t been a huge fan of Intel for their cpus for some time now, but I agree, there needs to be more gpu competition out there. I’ve been wanting to try out an Arc for a while, I’m just hoping the dgpu drivers are better than what they run for their integrated chips.

Well, the important thing is that the cables aren’t impeding the flow of air around the parts that get hot. It doesn’t look like they are, so I don’t see a problem.

I’m right there with you. I’m happy if a game can maintain a solid 60hz.

Not that I know of. I do a lot of native development mostly on Mint and Endeavor. I use pretty much the same tools on both and get a nearly identical experience. I’d say just go with what feels good to you.

The PS5 is already a very powerful piece of hardware that most devs aren’t making full use of. I honestly can’t see any justification in a hardware upgrade other than some Sony execs thinking it’ll be the end of the world if they don’t put out something new to make some profit line continue to go up.
