Love my SteamDeck Oled and steam os on it, so many things works great for a gaming focused OS, once you figure out couple of tools in desktop mode you can pretty much exclusively use it for 99% gaming including not steam games, just like windows but better. Now that is stark difference to ROG Ally I had with W11 on it, now returned.
Limited hardware (handheld is just that, my desktop pc is so overpowered that its just brute force over most of the issues) just highlight how bad W11 is for power user and gaming, compatibility was the only saving grace.
But now I would 100% dual boot my main pc if I could use steam os on it.

Shit, I'm still waiting for them to make violence work like it should in most AAA RPGs... No more hundreds or thousands of 'essential' NPCs that aren't allowed to die because the devs don't want to have to account for those extra variables in their quest/world design. I can't be the only one that was really slapped in the face by this about a year ago while playing Starfield immediately after Baldur's Gate 3, two opposite extremes on that spectrum of reactivity.

Well in OG Fallout, you can absolutely kill most if not all of the NPCs , not only that but prior to later, after release patch you could off children npcs as well. Different times but the freedom of your actions were there.

Thief and DE are absolute all time favored for me and seeing the talent involved in this new game I was super exited, then I've read its multiplayer.
Having rondos in game actively working against me is polar opposite from IMMERSIVE and major turn off for me. What I'm going to get is gankers and teabagging instead of immersion. You can not overestimate peoples trolling potential.
Such a shame, with advances in processing power, and AI I would love to see that being used to create immersive sim, that is crafted, atmospheric (like T and DE), single player but tricks you into thinking you are dealing with intelligent opponents. I hope they succeed but I doubt it, its going to be another redfall or deathloop.

Looks fantastic, I'm in, finally some asymmetrical multi
Edit: need to temper expectation- devs track record

Like others said, awesome piece of kit and I'd love to get one but no show in Australia

Unity engine is a big red flag for me, most unity games in the past had massive problems with multithreading (I've read in the past Unity at its core is single threaded but that might have changed recently), games like Subnautica, NMS and Satisfactory had been crippled by using that engine especially on high framerates. Basically even on overkill rig game would struggle with high framerates and purely CPU single core bound.
Like others I will be waiting for proper performance review and possibly few patches before buying.

This type of game needs multithreading from the ground up badly, not tried new one but first one was crippled in later stages by single core use. Hope this has been addressed from the beginning.

Can this POS client remember my password for crying out loud, I swear every time I launch this I need to remind/generate new password. Or maybe because there is so few reasons to fire it up regularly

Can't wait to play this, big fan of original, Citadel I'm coming back, this time with hdr, ultrawide, high fps goodness
Will see how that'll stack to rose tinted nostalgia in my mind

100 bucks its going to be axed into oblivion as soon at firsts ep of S4 of this trainwreck hit streaming.

Love his channel, fascinating insights into one of my childhood fav game developer

I find his experience disturbing, great work as always but timing and findings sucks for me big time. Sitting next to unopened boxes with 7800x3d +asus x670e-f + gskill 32G ddr5 6000 Expo kit that came literally same day when shit hit the reddit fan. I know I'm covered with warranty and there is a slim chance asus with sort itself out but I'm getting bad feeling about it. Considering returning those parts and keeping my 9900ks for one more round but its starts to bog down my gfx card a bit now.

Pretty much confirms my personal experience, with high enough res (4k, or 3KUW) and Quality setting ONLY, games looks much better to my eyes - mainly due to far far superior AA, texture filtering and lack of transparency shimmering of native resolution. Most of criticism comes from folks trying to DLSS from 1080p - that is just sub par blurry mess, in short : you can't polish a turd.

Nah, this last gen game, comes to conslow PS4 as well so it will be ok as long as not using "ultra" textures.
I'm all for pushing boundaries when its justified, for far too long multiplatform games looked shit on 4k screens. Its time to upgrade from 8GB Vram.

i am wondering will RTX3070 will run out of VRAM in 1440p.

1600$ gpu runs at 47fps in native 4k with full raytracing in low poly, low detail, limited light sources, room/corridor scale fps. I know its just RTX remix project but those graphs are indicative and is all you need to know about state of raytracing with todays hardware. As a former owner of 3080ti (now buying rx7900xtx) I'm utterly disillusioned with RT implementation and its impact on games vs performance hit. I'll jump back on hype wagon again in 3-4 generations.
Cake is a lie, Rtx just works is a lie...

It takes 15 seconds to create a desktop cmd shortcut with either proper sleep mode or shutdown.
But hey its LTT - Kardashians of YT pc tech.

Nice, this might be my first Radeon since x1900xtx and break from being xx80Ti class user ever since. I find RTX4090 price in Ozz outrageous (3300+ AUD) and on principle won't be buying it. If reviews are good and there is no hidden cons to chiplet design (latency, micro stutter/ timeframes) I'm upgrading my 3080ti to 7900xtx from good AIB, then ZEN 4 3D cache (my last AMD was Opteron 144) when that comes for full AMD system. Good job AMD

I'm so happy they bringing some of those lite sim/strategy games back.
Can't wait for a good lite flight sim in vein of F-15SE2 , F-19, F-117 or Gunship-2000 all of them I loved back in the day.

I remember original - it was bland, shitty, quake knockoff back in the day, I'm baffled why they even bothered resurrecting it.

Would never put ASRock in my personal build, I've read countless problems with their gear over the years. Personally I've got burned by MSI, Gibagyte and EVGA couple of times so they on my shit list as well, so far only ASUS had rock solid products over 25y of building PCs.
