RD: That’s pretty amazing that so much is done remotely Your bond clearly pays off Like me, you’re huge fans of Halloween, and play gigs every year where you cover big tunes associated with the season – and dress up You’ve got a string of dates coming up which we’ll put at the end of the interview
Where has that love come from, and how much do you think synthwave is associated with that “horror” nostalgia (I’m thinking everything from John Carpenter’s use of synths, right up to Damien Leone’s heavy leaning in on synthwave in his ‘Terrifier’ movie series)?One of my biggest problems with Skyrim was how repetitive the gameplay was It never felt like you had to try in combat as every encounter could be solved by mind-lessly swinging your weapon around like a lunatic until everything in the room is dead Even the archery builds are renowned for making the game too easy, and I don’t remember a time where I was genuinely excited to fight something aside from Miraak, but only because of how much the DLC built him upComputing Why I’m feeling hopeful about Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs I won't lie -- I was pretty scared of Nvidia's RTX 50-series, and I stand by the opinion that those fears were valid
They didn't come out of thin air; they were fueled by Nvidia's approach to GPU pricing and value for the money However, the RTX 40 Super refresh is a step in the right direction, and it's one I never expected to happen Nvidia's most recent choices show that it may have learned an important lesson, and that's good news for future generations of graphics cards The price of performance Nvidia really didn't hold back in the RTX 40 series
It introduced some of the best graphics cards we've seen in a while, but raw performance isn't the only thing to consider when estimating the value of a GPU The price is the second major factor and weighing it against performance can often tip the scales from great to disappointing That was the case with several GPUs in the Ada generation Read more“The decision to delay GTA IV was made 4 months or so before the original release date
Any further and it’s hard to make the call R* is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish,” Vermeij tweeted This indicates that while concerns about a 2025 release might exist, Rockstar is likely still aiming for that target and would make any delay decisions closer to the projected launchThe trailer unveils a visually stunning Vice City, combining the charm of the old and the chaos of the new
With glimpses of Starfish Island and a reimagined rural Florida The updated setting promises a familiar yet entirely fresh experience Fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation on revisiting iconic spots like the Malibu Club, Ocean View Hotel, and Little HaitiThe characters take centre stage, promising a thrilling gaming experience
Lucia, the first female lead, brings complexity with her mysterious past An unnamed male character (Jason) hints at a pivotal role This dynamic duo fuels anticipation Their crime exploration adds layers to the narrative for an exciting gameplay journey
For those eagerly awaiting more news, keep in mind that GTA 6‘s development cycle mirrors past Rockstar releases, where delays were only confirmed closer to launch Stay tuned as we monitor updates and provide the latest on the GTA 6 release dateMSI just revealed what might just be the most ridiculous graphics card we've seen to date, and it snagged the Best Choice Award at Computex 2024 MSI's GeForce RTX 4090 24G Suprim Fuzion is an enormous GPU, and although it's equipped with just two fans -- a rarity for an RTX 4090 -- it may have the best cooling solution in MSI's arsenal, all thanks to the built-in all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler
Don't see any external radiator? That's because there isn't one All the tubing and the radiator are tucked away inside the shroud of this massive beast But how much will that really help? It's safe to say that MSI went a little extra when it designed this GPU With an integrated radiator inside the shroud, it looks quite unassuming at a glance, but don't be fooled -- this is a 4
5-slot behemoth that probably weighs a ton MSI got rid of every single external tube and concealed the entire AIO cooler within the shroud, making the pipes 90% shorter than in traditional designsTo prepare for this, I’ve dived back into GTA Online I’m also doing this for the Halloween events, which sound like fun
So, I’m coasting around the city, trying to get the lay of the land, working on figuring out where everything is, and reminding myself just how it plays I got stuck in the casino for a while, did some stunt racing, and then pulled off a smallish heist I hung out with some cool dudes on a yacht, after riding the rollercoaster with one of them I think we’re in love now
