When you play Forza Horizon 6 and cars from the 2000s are considered “retro” 😭

An that’s by design

As I said it strongly depends on what you do with it. One of my main hobbies is aim training and there the difference is clearly noticeable. And there are many trustworthy voices in the aim training community that back this up. It’s also noteworthy that other factors of the monitor impact motion clarity more than just the refresh rate. For example an OLED panel has way better motion clarity than IPS panels.

But in the end stuff like this obviously won’t give you superpowers. You have to train to actually get gud.

At least for competitive games the better motion clarity of 240+ FPS is clearly noticeable.

But then again its questionable whether generating those frames with DLSS has any kind of competitive advantage.

Torre del Oro

Yes, additionally utilitarian architecture like this can easily painted in lively colors to make it look nicer. Imo this also would make a big difference with minimal costs

The other 50℅, so about 43k…

For fatal gun injuries you’re right, but about 50% of all non fatal gun injuries are caused unintentionally. There seems to be about 43k unintentional gun injuries per year(source). In comparison in total there are 47k gun deaths per year.

So yeah not negligible in the slightest, especially in a country without healthcare.

And it isn’t like the other genres are neglected by indie des. For me there is a constant stream of new and amazing indie games I can’t keep up with.

I recommend steam250.com, if someone is struggling to find them.

I get your point and one could argue this is a harmless way for people who suffer from this to get their fix.

On the other hand one could argue that this stuff normalizes this type of attraction in our society.

Man just for sim racing VR is worth it for me. And my headset cost me less than my regular gaming monitor.

Dopamine release

Idk about the prices in canada but 3000 CAD shouldn’t give you a “decent current gen gaming pc”. This is already high end territory where you’re already burning money unnecessarly just to have the latest an greatest. For 2500 CAD you can get a prebuild 9070 XT + 7800X3D system (here). This system destroys the PS5 performance wise. I can get 240-300 FPS in the Finals while the PS5 can get a max of 120 FPS in performance mode with hits to the visual fidelity.

And yes a PS5 is 579 CAD as far as I can see, so a lot cheaper.

However as I stated a PC can run way more different games even without taking emulation into account. Furthermore on PS5 you have to pay 110 CAD/year to play online and PC games generally are cheaper than console games. So there is a significant amount of money you’ll save on the software.

Additionally you kinda are forced to buy a new console when the new generation arrives while I can use my PC for the newest games as long as I want to or the hardware just can’t handle it anymore.

And lastly a PC can also be used for non gaming stuff. You can even get use of the performance for 3D modeling, Video editing, running LLMs or whatever.

So as I stated before both have their use cases, a PC is definetly more expensive up front buy it also just offers more value. At the end it doesn’t matter and everyone can play games on the hardware they want to.

Why do people keep reposting this shit?

Which console costs 400$?

Which reasonably price optimized PC costs 15k$?

Yes PCs are more expensive than consoles, but they also hold more value, are more versatile and have lower costs for the Games themselves.

To each their own, we’re alle gamers.

Every accusation is a confession

An YES Albert Hoffmann actually was high when he discovered it

If you’re using AI because it’s smart, you’re dump. However AI holds imo way more value in knowledge and speed for simple tasks.

It doesn’t matter how smart you are, AI has more knowledge than you. Maybe not in a specific field but its a valuable tool in getting knowledge for a lot of different topics.

It doesn’t matter how smart you are, AI is faster in simple tasks like creating a python script to parse hex data and visualize it.

So even though I hate AI like the next person I think this IQ measuring you proposed is bullshit.
