those are some good reasons

despite increasing development costs for AAA titles it's cool that the barrier to entry has lowered so we end up with some independent gems now & again

There'a also the point that nearly every game has between 20-100's of dollars worth of dlc these days which wasn't the case in earlier eras.

Course ya do!

provided the initial offering was worth the price of entry i have no problem with the proliferation of dlc as a means to make a game more profitable

Eh both make good stuff now a days. But NVidia sells much better even when they are behind. People just buy NVidia.

I've vacillated between nvidia and ATI AMD since my radeon 32DDR and there has always been some stupid driver problem or weird edge case I happen to fall into that never gets fixed and drives me back to nvidia. there was a stupid cursor corruption bug only for multimonitor setups in the ATI drivers for like 5 years in and around the 5850 that they refused to acknowledge and would lock reports about without reply. the solution was to leave the windows magnifier app open but minimized and it'd stop :downs:

that said I got a good deal on a r9 390 when doom forced me to upgrade so I'm back to ATI AMD and I've yet to have any issues so maybe they have put that poo poo behind them

I like that AMD drivers let me manually limit tessellation at least. High levels of tessellation beyond much if any visual difference is found in a lot of gameworks options. It tanks frames but does so a lot harder on AMD than NVidia. But in my experience NVidia gets you faster driver updates for new triple A games while AMD gives you better long term support. Current AMD stuff is better in DX12 but there are not many DX12 games out yet. But really both have good products now just have to compare cards case by case based on your price range. In the end though NVidia sells much better regardless of quality and AMD does not make much money even when ahead.

I had a pirate game for the TI that had a cassette tape you would play for sound effects, but the TI had color because instead of a monitor you plugged it into a small tv.

Also I remember beating the first Might and Magic and getting to the Inner Sanctum and all I got was a message of congratulations and an address I could mail a letter to saying I'd beat it. I was so disappointed I never mailed the letter.

So Eve has a free to play mode now which means that I could obsess over planing a skill tree except that my man I have not touched in 3 years is pretty much out of free to play trainable skills. I guess I could do a free to play character and actually learn how to play. Though all my better judgment is telling me that this would be a terrible idea.

My rl friend told me to play with him in the wormhole places so I decided to join him even though I did not do much. I was in the wormhole space group for over a year and made sure that I never ever learned how to scan. I never once scanned an exit. It was a matter of pride to reveal when I stopped playing that I never contributed. I did shoot some sleepers though and some mans a few times. I was never online when people fought other people. Shooting people is fun and now you do not lose skill points for dieing and forgetting to pay the tax. I need to find an overview that lets me acquire targets less slowly than a glacier moves. Making safe spots was a hassle though.

So it turns out that my dude has over 36 million skill points and my other man has 29 million but 25 mil of it are in space ship command and gunnery. And Another 2 mil in engineering. The other man is comically lacking necessary skills. I assume I was going to make a dread pilot at some point but gave up. I guess I spent most of my time not having time to play in school but training things. This is a bad idea and I should uninstall right now then set my computer on fire. I already don't have time for so many games I want to play.
