Those would only be preinstalled if your motherboard has the requisite hardware and you download the drivers and the utilities it wants you to download. They arent preinstalled in any windows ive used, pc or even laptops. Theres a lot of shitty bloatware out there, but intel is hardly worth mentioning in that arena. And theres such better things to make fun of them for too, lol.

Sure, the big trucks can tow. But that falls apart when you look at any various study about truck owners. Only a small fraction use the bed, towing, etc.

Chess has been played for ages with no dlc. Competition against another person is engaging on its own. And chess is a good deep game on its own.

Combine competition with a good game and you get a successful infinite live service game in theory.

Only one or the other and you get a flash in the pan.

What you describe as the word’s flaws make it perfect though. The word itself is an icon for the actions it describes

You dont need a 3k gaming pc to get started. PC has lots of options, thats part of the appeal.

Steam alone has as many monthly active users as the switch has lifetime sales. Its not a tiny niche market.

Its also not unpleasable. There are certain technical standards, sure. But that is true for all consoles as well.

Its not juat about looking nice. Sub-30 fps is genuinely uncomfortable to many people. You aren’t sensitive to it, good for you.

can doesn’t mean should.

720p to 4k using dlss is okay, but you start to see visual tradeoffs strictly for the extra performance

to me it really shines at 1080p to 4k where it is basically indistinguishable from native for a still large performance increase.

or even 1440p to 4k where it actually looks better than native with just a moderate performance increase.

For 8k that same setup holds true. go for better than native or match native visuals. There is no real need to go below native just to get more performance. At that point the hardware is mismatched

2x on a 970? I struggled with my 970 at 1440p low-medium settings until i got the 3080. Often had to put scaling to 1080p. And that was on “last gen” titles, cant imagine still trying to limp that thing along nowadays, despite as much as i loved it.

You must not notice aliasing and shimmering then? Most find it very distracting to see everything flickering and shimmering and stair step with the slightest motion.

And ray tracing really depends on the game, implementation, and hardware. Ray traced global illumination alone fixes the classic video game look that stems from rasterized lighting errors (light leaking, default ambient light, etc). It is the future for high quality games even not photo-realistic ones. Its expense is offset by both reconstruction and improved hardware. You wont be able to avoid it forever even if you want to.

Free mods arent gonna disappear no matter what bethesda does on their end. Just ignore the paid shit just like we always have

Being a pedo may not be a choice, but acting on it definitely is. And any pedo who has to go searching for pedo friendly communities is not looking for help, theyre looking to get off.

Its not a big secret to them that they have something wrong to live with. They dont need a support community to tell them how not to fuck kids. It shouldnt take that much self control for them to not fuck kids…

I’d even bet the vast majority of them already do just fine living normal lives. Just like the vast majority of “normal” adults dont go around raping each other just because they feel sexually aroused by someone.

This should include a user count in each so we can see just how many pedos and nazis are being punted to their own little disgusting bubbles

Do you consider your online data to be worthless? Because google doesn’t. You pay the moment you click on a video, and even more by making an account and generating watch history.

Why does that data collection not go away if i decide to pay with cash?

Why did they remove the cheaper ad-free only subscription tier?

Why do they still serve various ads when you are a premium subscriber?

The answer to all of this is that they are a greedy corporation, they must do those things. You may call it soothsaying or whatever to those of us wondering “what comes next” after this battle. But it is shown many times by all large corporations that they will keep fighting to make line go up for eternity. Regardless of if that is in your best interest. It is silly to see users defend them despite that.

Are you actually crying about someone having a cool image on their debit card for something they are a fan of?

Its not relevant to this particular commenter, but ive made downvote edits when i get to -5 or -10 but have no replies. Especially when i felt like i had a reasonable take. My edit is usually asking for responses from those who disagree, rather than just a “edit: fuck you haters”.
