@Mano369 @TalkativeTri D3 had a pause feature in solo instances (which is the vast majority of solo play in D4). It's a pretty valid concern imo

About 3 hours into Diablo 4’s endgame now and I am happy to report it’s pretty fun AND I somewhat fixed my combat jank issue. - War Plans are literally the ultimate “alch n’ go” playstyle, tab, teleport, go! - My resource generation was all messed up, constantly leading to my character stalling and doing nothing, thank you for the advice - The difficulty, at least for this newb, ramps way faster than Path of Exile 2 in maps when swapping between tiers, could also be a D4 skill issue on my part - Please add a pause feature Blizzard PLEASE - I enjoy the way less but more valuable loot that drops…and I am not even using a filter! Will throw out another update at some point I am sure, but loving the constant action + gear upgrades right now!

@Rrrrrrrockstar @HardwareUnboxed With no sensible benefit*

@Rrrrrrrockstar @HardwareUnboxed I just think it's an attempt at replacing an already niche CPU with one that does the same thing but at an even higher cost

I’ve seen the quoted comment below a few times so I’ll quickly address it here. I suspect someone has taken what was said out of context, trying to make a big deal out of it for attention. The 9800X3D and all 3D V-Cache parts really are far less sensitive to memory performance and in the vast majority of games will deliver similar performance without even having to load memory profiles. Does that apply to every single game? Probably not! Does it apply to the vast majority of games? Yes! ALSO I never said the exact same performance, “You don’t go into your BIOS and load your memory profiles and you’ll get performance that is very close to what is seen in reviews, which is pretty wild because never before have we really seen a CPU where that is the case” For the most part that is correct. Non 3D V-Cache parts like the 9700X for example are much more memory sensitive and will see a much more significant performance decrease when not loading memory profiles.

@DeLawrencee @HardwareUnboxed I think it'll ultimately result in a price increase over the current one CCD stack. It'll probably phase out the xx50x3d product even though the benefits are in extremely niche workloads.

@_IceBlade @HardwareUnboxed It's probably twofold. To demonstrate the tech works and to have it widespread in order to gather data. The benefits of extra cache might appear in some niche workloads. And it will ultimately lead to X3D type cache stacking being the norm, because why wouldn't it?

@Squerk_ skytech gaming

okay so initially the plan was to hopefully be moved in enough by Monday to stream tomorrow, but my desk got delayed AND THIS IS HOW MY STREAM ROOM LOOKS ATM LMAO so i’m gonna have my sights set on going live on Tuesday literally so excited tho i can’t wait to be live every day again

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@Squerk_ I'm so so sorry :( RIP beautiful baby girl

Rest in Peace Kiwi my beautiful baby girl. I already miss you so much. I love you so devastated and heartbroken

@Squerk_ I ain't reading all that tbh loooool!

I click the Stop Streaming button, and glance at my bank account. "Guess it's time to do another Squerkathon" I mumble, my tiredness already seeping in, as if to taunt me with the fatigue that would be felt over the coming months. This is the life of a streamer, one that I thought I wanted, but now that I have it all I can see is the mankey's paw. "You've tried that already" a deep powerful voice says from the corner of my room. He arises, his 7'6" demeanor towering over me. "Your debts are calling, and bossman isn't happy". @moxittv steps in front of my lighting setup, the bright glow illuminating his chiseled face. The henchman to the one that I am indebted to... "What do you mean?" I squeak "This is all I know, this is the deal." "We HAD a deal... but boss says his pockets still feel light. I expected more... May I remind you I wasn't the one to put 500k CuckBux on Wipe... and then you had the audacity to ask for more, I quote, 'the suicune will clutch up this time'" "I'm SORRY... he didn't plan it risklessly. I promise I won't make the mistake again, I swear!" "I've heard it already boy, now come on." He hoists me up, my 4'10" body flinging over his shoulder with little effort. He swipes his hand in front of him, the world's fabric tearing apart, sharding off into my room into particulates of dark matter. He smiles wide, as his eyes turn red and his skin begins to purple. He steps into the otherwordly tear, whisking us instantly into its hellish grasp. Every particle of my human self immediately seethes in pain, forcefully being lashed out from my body. My true form fully overtaking me, I sink farther and farther into the husk of what I once was. My body collapses into an orange blob, my clothes harden forming into a shell. Violently, our winnow completes. No longer human, but as a Gengar and Dottler. I glance around, knowing my dual screens won't help me here. Zangoose sits at the desk before us... but not just any Zangoose... TBC...

@GamersNexus @TheEggman64 Can't wait for you to have a field day over the inevitable ghosting this tech will provide

@TheEggman64 > rather than more powerful hardware > look inside > 2x 5090s to run

Those freaking out about AI face filters are obscuring the bigger picture. DLSS5 offers a generational leap in graphics, made possible with software breakthroughs rather than more powerful hardware. Devs will finesse the application for new releases and they’ll look incredible.

@hollyh898 @TheFizzyMind @AidenMux @NikTek Wait till he learns about video compression and crushed blacks. But nah objects not casting a shadow off a light source is totally better!

@TheFizzyMind @AidenMux @NikTek Do you just hate how real world lighting works? 🤣

Crimson Desert looks like a whole different game on PC Standard denoiser is what is being used for consoles, Ray Regeneration or Ray Reconstruction however makes a massive visual difference in contrast, indirect lighting and shadows. Source: Digital Foundry

@yiuonmw @Klosserman @itsmekatsa Could you explain more why you feel this way? What about the toolkits are inherently bad for m+?

@Klosserman @itsmekatsa Of course, but you're going to be playing the class design as it is now, and as the tool kits are not designed to handle infinitely scaling content then it is not looking as if high tier content will be fun.

Be honest. How good is Midnight? And is it worth playing?

@balrogsbarber @LordMojo0618 @ShitpostRock She never filed a case. There is an account pretending to be her that said that but it's false.

@LordMojo0618 @ShitpostRock That’s actually horrible, i had no idea

@THe0GAmer @pcgamer I mean... Not really? VRAM isn't customisable for the broad majority of gamers out there, it's on the SKU. Also VRAM is only a part of the overall problem of optimization targets nowadays

@pcgamer good on them for transparency but the damage is already done some game optimizations might have been based on bad info hope they double check everything now

Valve owns up to inaccurate Steam hardware survey findings, saying 'VRAM on some graphics cards was not reported correctly' pcgamer.com/hardware/valve…

@Emerldd #ShowerForEmerldd

I MADE TOP 100 IN THE SUPER MONKEY BALL FESTIVAL 🥳🍌 I cant lie I had to play way more than I expected but im happy to get the title for at least one of these events 🐒

I disagree Video games helped me connect with people I'd otherwise never meet, some of which are lifelong friends. I've always felt like I have no real impetus to socialize with people but games have helped bridge that gap and I'm very thankful for it

@JordansMeta @TheRooster only so much they can do in an ecosystem that heavily depends on 3rd party cooperation through driver support etc

@TheRooster No idea why IBM or Steam haven’t capitalized on Windows decline and put out a consumer grade copy of Linux. They could easily invest in making all main software products compatible with Linux.

Windows is the worst digital product in today’s world. Bloated, inconsistent, unreliable. It’s crazy how we gamers have no other choice because there isn’t any viable alternative.

@Squerk_ Still waiting for your Guzzlord impression

life update:

@bylerapologist @destroyedcloset lol

@destroyedcloset it’s the bare minimum thought to have imo. this isn’t our fucking land, it’s yours

If ur australian & u celebrate today… fuck right off

@TheNewRhyme @crawfishcadet You've highlighted the weakness of most workflows with this... It's quite different to the usual artifacts that AI gen shows. Just to be clear I'm not defending AI generated content as final works at all!

@_IceBlade @crawfishcadet oh they are unfortunately what i said tho only applies to certain moments, most others really good , i don't mind 2D rigging

i hate how this is animated so much and i'm pretty sure you can tell why
