Re: This RAM Crisis Is Looking Like a Nightmare for the PS6

AI is it a pointing in the venture capital cycle where investors threw money at it to expand quickly without worrying about cost too much. Mid 2027 they’ll be expecting it to start to be profitable. Assuming it isn’t generating like $10 billion dollars every three months investment will dry up.

Probably be sensible for PS6 to manufacturing to wait till bubble pops more likely to leave it supply constrained at the end of 2027 rather than missing it entirely.

I’m sure AI infrastructure will be useful. But investors in large infrastructure projects almost always lose most of their money.

@TimeDelayedGamer The 3ed Trails in the Sky is similar to the corridor in Trails into Reverie. It has canon story content but doesn’t have an impact on the wider world.

I only played it for around 10 hours, but my problems may be due to burn out as I played the four trails of cold steel and then the two trails of the sky games immediately before it.

Re: Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered (PS5) - Definitive Package Closes Out the First Chapter of Lara Croft Adventures

@NowWithVitaminR
Core Design’s made the first six Tomb Raider games this is what’s being referred to us the first chapter. The first five games are also similar to each other and different from what comes after. Angel of darkness is included for completeness but is a dead end stylistically.

After this development move to Crystal Dynamics. Their first game was Tomb Raider Legend. The first 3 made by crystal dynamics under Eidos are considered the second chapter.

Tomb Raider was rebooted into a more uncharted like style after a purchased by Square Enid. This will be the 3ed chapter.

Tomb raider is currently getting rebooted again post Square.

There are also many spinoffs that don’t fit in the idea of chapters.

Re: A Video Game Actors Strike Could Happen Following Union Vote for Action

English voices certainly add to the experience of games that they’re in. But I would hope that games would ship without rather than delaying.

People deserve to be paid fairly, but fair for a video game that is a game. It’s different from a live action film where essentially the product is the work of the actors.

I hope it can be resolved quickly, but compromise is certainly required on both sides.

If you end up getting sectioned under the mental health act in the UK. You’re in a far worse position than if you’re convicted of a crime.

If you’re convicted of a crime, you get a fixed sentence. If you’re sectioned under the mental health act, the doctors can do whatever they want to you until they decide you’re better.

Historically our doctors have been reluctant to decide anyone is better ever.

@Grimwood We had a pandemic (new disease, burning through the population) that’s over, the coronavirus is now endemic (still around and killing people, but not disruptive anymore).

The situation has changed there now 4 endemic coronaviruses in the world rather than 3. Ultimately it doesn’t have any significant impact on our lives anymore. Even if the virus itself hasn’t changed.
