All of Twitch has just leaked, including its source code and user payouts WWW.TECHSPOT.COM A 4Chan user posted the 125GB torrent link on the forum earlier today, saying it was to "foster more... I don't use twitch so I don't have much to say about this. I hope all those hot tub fem-boy streamers are ok.

So this was just an error, not a hack or anything, it they right?

Oh yea I'll definitely be playing the bf beta. Looking forward to that for sure!

I wouldn't be upset if facebook somehow got totally wiped out personally. Here is an article about it as well: Facebook and Some of Its Apps Go Down Simultaneously

I wonder if there have been any patches since microsoft bought bethesda. My gf started playing it on game pass but it was crashing a lot so she ended up buying it. I noticed that on both the game pass and steam version the games doesn't let you switch between controller and mouse anymore which I'm fairly sure it used to allow. Side note, I find myself playing this game in fist person a lot more now than I used to. I pretty much stay in first person all the time where as back in the day I mostly played it third person. Feel a little silly that I'm actually excited about the anniversary edition coming out soon.

Not exactly the kind of thing there are a lot of articles about, but they probably wouldn't be as good as this guys coverage anyway. The TLDR of it is that OG xbox emulation is just about at the level of being good enough to actually be usable. One thing I found especially interesting in the video is when he showed so footage of Halo 1 running at a higher res via an xbox emulator and it was pretty surprising how much detail was hidden by the lower res. Seems like the texture res could have been half of what it really was on xbox and no one would have been able to tell the difference at 480p. Makes me wonder what other games might end up looking a lot better on xbox emulators.

Damn and I thought my 20-30 mods was starting to feel like a lot. I haven't gotten into any gameplay mods yet. I haven't run out of things to do in the base game enough just yet, but probably soon I will try one of those dlc sized mods.

Are you using just visual mods or anything else noteworthy? I just have a couple visual mods myself.

When was the last time you played? I remember it crashing a lot but I haven't had any issues lately. My gf got hooked on some other game and when I saw how sucked into it she was I got her to start Skyrim to see how sucked into that she would get and she's definitely hooked. Then after watching her I wanted to play again too so I rehooked myself. I've only ever done one character in Skyrim and I've been playing it the whole time, so my save goes back almost ten years now haha.

Capcom says it wants to make the PC its main platform for games WWW.TECHSPOT.COM Speaking to Japanese publication Nikkei and translated by Bloomberg reporter Takashi Mochizuki... something something turn tables.

I actually started playing Skyrim again. Finally got enchanting maxed out and now I can double enchant stuff.

I guess that kinda makes sense. Sounds like it's just the newest/latest and greatest MMO and all the people who really like MMOs are excited. I've never really been into MMOs either so this was not at all on my radar. The only MMO I ever got far in was firefall and that game doesn't even exist anymore.

Last I heard it was the cards that were defective. 3090's with poorly soldered ram. Presumably all of those 3090's didn't stop having bad soldering before the game launched. First I've heard of 3080ti being on the list but it would make sense that such a similar card might have the same defect. Why is this game so popular? Or is it's just a lot of marketing? I haven't been paying attention to it, it looks like just another standard MMO.

It makes sense. Overclocking doesn't make nearly as big of a difference as it used to with CPUs being designed to run closer to their actual limits. The difference between a great chip and an average one is pretty small now.

I mean it serve no purpose for society on a large scale in contrast to something like folding which you choose as a point of comparison, not that the reward/value is completely imaginary.

Thats a false equivalence because folding at home is literally scientific research, and conversely in a literal sense mining is burning electricity to turn it into money without any other purpose. It doesn't generate a product or anything, is just how much energy and GPUs does it take to get X amount of money. I agree that it would be difficult to have such a ban in most democratic places. On a personal level I think that bitcoin mining is definitely not something any government/economy system was ever designed to deal with, and an argument can be made that it's a modern problem that governments are generally too outdated to deal with; and with that in mind the only reason I would even mention it is because of the climate issues the world is facing. Seems like a bad time to be burning more and more energy just because a weird process now exists that will turn energy into a virtual token that can be sold. Abundant clean energy would be great, and it would definitely solve this problem but that's still a long way out. That's actually one of the interesting things about this particular situation though. I don't know enough about it, but from what I understand this mining setup will burn waste coal (I think it's also called coke) and in doing so it will clean up some area contaminated by waste coal. How environmentally beneficial that really is in the end is well beyond my understanding which is why I didn't comment more about this particular situation, but it raises the point of the increasing power demand from mining. China is literally shutting down factories due to power shortages and slowing down the world's supply of the same chips people want to use to mine with. Seems like a recipe for disaster and at least in China's case it's understandable why they are starting to crack down.

I was thinking about this yesterday and I think I came up with a good metaphor for Bitcoin mining. Imagine if someone was paying people to drive on the freeway. Doesn't matter where they went, they just had to get on the freeway and drive for a while and they would be paid. It wouldn't really make sense why driving around was suddenly profitable, and it would cause more traffic, more pollution from cars. People would start to wonder if there should be a law against driving around for no reason other than getting paid for it.

Lots of things in our society are regulated or outlawed. Adding one more thing to the list wouldn't be the end of a "free" society. With that said I don't think it would ever be regulated here for any reason other than it uses a lot of power and creates a lot of e-waste during a time when those things are becoming larger issues but I don't think it's likely to happen anyway.

China's growing power crunch threatens more global supply chain chaos WWW.CNN.COM A growing power supply crunch in China is triggering blackouts for households and forcing factories to... pretty bad day for the stock market with this being a big part of the cause, though political tension in the US is also a major factor.

Sony has been more open about their games coming to PC. Maybe it will happen.

I heard them talking about it in a digital foundry podcast video. They said the one of the devs was interviewed about it in a Japanese magazine and that's where this info is coming from. It seemed credible. Apparently GT games typically have enhanced graphics in the replay mode but given how front and center the ray tracing has been in some of the trailers thus far, it definitely seems odd that they would highlight it so much if it's not in the gameplay. It's also kind of strange because the RT looked pretty low res, like it was heavily optimized for performance more so than really crisp reflections so it seems strange that the RT is so cut down if it's not in the gameplay. Timestamped:

Apparently this game won't actually feature ray tracing outside of photo mode and replays. Seems odd given how they've presented the game so far.

Do we have a thread like this for movies/shows? Has anyone seen the show nine perfect strangers? I just finished it last night and damn, such a great show. I almost teared up twice in the last episode. I don't know if I've ever seen so much amazing acting in one show.

I suspect anything this administration would do would be seen negativity by anyone who gets sucked into conspiratorial thinking. However this isn't really about politics, it's about AMD having a great CEO that has turned the company around and this appointment just solidifies that.
