This all sounds extremely familiar. Owning the libs as a show for their base of support back home.

Apparently it was a story told by an Air Force colonel at an aeronautics conference, who later retracted it.
It’s probably not 100% necessary; even Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (which was designed to use the PS5’s fast loading speeds to switch between worlds on the fly, and supports the latest DirectStorage implementation on PC) can be played off a hard drive, tests have shown. But any PC recent enough to play Starfield on really should have an SSD.
It isn’t strange to use your non-dominant hand for things, no. Maybe most people do lean toward using their dominant hand for everyday tasks, but I think it’s a matter of habit for most things. “Non-dominant” doesn’t mean “nearly useless”.
I would say it is a bit strange for your friends to pay a lot of attention to which hand you use to unlock doors.
A problem with finding a counterexample might be that any widespread desire for something that doesn’t exist could make people think it exists, so any possible example seems likely to be disputed. There’s a reason people are far more likely to believe in heaven than hell. People believe in what they want to believe in, and that desire isn’t proof of anything but a construct in their brain that they think represents something real.
That said, I hope someone comes up with an example, because I’ve seen this type of rhetoric before (C.S. Lewis had a version of it), and while the logical problems with it are obvious, picking it apart would take a verbose argument that the kinds of people who like these kinds of fortune-cookie apologetics would have no problem tuning out. A quick example would be very convenient.
Well, Nvidia isn’t directly involved here at all, they’ve only commented on the issue once (to say that they don’t block other companies’ upscaling). The objections tend to come from users, the majority of whom have Nvidia cards and want to use what is widely considered the superior upscaling technology.
Replays later showed Ricciardo’s hands being thrown around in the cockpit due to him still holding the steering wheel when he impacted the wall, with the Australian visibly in discomfort when he stepped out of the car.
Didn’t Alonso break his hand last season in a similar way? I wonder if it’s possible to have some kind of safety training or procedure to prevent this kind of injury.
Here’s the most important part IMO:
He admits that — in general — when AMD pays publishers to bundle their games with a new graphics card, AMD does expect them to prioritize AMD features in return. “Money absolutely exchanges hands,” he says. “When we do bundles, we ask them: ‘Are you willing to prioritize FSR?’”
But Azor says that — in general — it’s a request rather than a demand. “If they ask us for DLSS support, we always tell them yes.”
SO developers aren’t forced contractually to exclude DLSS, but outside the contract language, they are pressured to ignore it in favor of FSR. That explains why these deals tend to result in DLSS being left out, and also why there are some exceptions (e.g. Sony games–I imagine Sony knows what features it wants its PC releases to have and has decided to push back on DLSS inclusion). I think AMD is being honest this time, and I’m surprised it admitted publicly that it’s doing this. Hopefully the word about this will get out and more developers will insist on including DLSS.
The specs are exactly the same as the ones that have been up on the Steam page for weeks/months, in case someone was wondering if they’d changed.
I’ve had the 154CM version of this for years, love it.
