I remember Arkham Asylum was 8 hours long. I still own it on 360.

I bought City 3 times and twice my copy was literally broken as soon as I beat the Penguin.

I own Origins but got it late and my Wii U fell into disuse by then. What I played felt good, though having the same Gotham map as City felt odd, a bit cheap maybe?

Christopher Dring: Terrible launch for Black Ops 7 in Europe. Sold 63% fewer copies at launch VS BF6. More than 50% down VS BO6. (digital/physical)

Is COD on Gamepass? Is this why?

Elden Ring/Duskbloods leaker

"From what I know, The Duskbloods was greenlit even earlier than the marketing period for Sekiro's release. It is the FromSoftware title that has spent the longest time purely on gameplay prototyping and validation among all of their games so far. Although it's PVE and PVP, it reportedly contains many innovative elements the team themselves are very proud of."

Epic Games CEO warns of consequences of rising RAM prices for high-end gaming

11/25/25 - Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney warns on X of the long-term consequences of rising RAM prices for the high-end gaming market. He points out that the cost of memory in retail has increased significantly and manufacturers are increasingly shifting their capacities towards AI data centers.

This development makes the consumer hardware business less attractive, which is why modern DRAM components are preferably supplied to artificial intelligence operators. Sweeney expects future graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD to receive smaller memory increases; this could lead developers to use memory resources more cautiously in order to meet performance limits of future systems

Michael Crider's headline at PCWorld today perfectly captures how ridiculous the PC memory shortage has become: stores like the San Francisco Bay Area's Central Computers are beginning to sell RAM at market prices, like you'd pay for the catch-of-the-day at a seafood restaurant.

"Costs are fluctuating daily as manufacturers and distributors adjust to limited supply and high demand," reads a message posted in the store's display case, as spotted by Steve Lin. "Because of this, we can't display fixed prices at this time."

Three months ago yesterday, I bought 32GB of memory for my gaming PC and the price of that exact kit has more than tripled since then. It now costs $300 more. ($440 vs. $130, in case you're curious; a more common version of the same kit went from $105 to $400.) Some prices have doubled since October, and while you can still find some 32GB kits for as low as $230, a 64GB DDR5 kit can easily run you $700, $800, even $900.

Leaker Moore's Law Is Dead claims that Microsoft may have to raise Xbox prices yet again to compensate, but that Sony has stockpiled enough RAM for the PS5 to last some number of months.

This AI demand for RAM is going to ruin the games market.

Hardware is going to get more and more expensive and future hardware may be significantly RAM constrained compared to what it would be.

There's already a rumor that Nvidia is going to pull one of its cards off the market because of prices.

Scary stuff there in terms of the future of videogames. Movie theaters have seen a decline and now it looks possible that the games industry will as well.

I was thinking of making a thread about all the job losses AI could cause.

In general, not just gaming. When I was rattling off examples in my head the list never ran out.

I'm 22 years away from pension and I don't want to have to retrain in my 60s cause of some tech company.

I read RAM prices had spiked by 400%

How are console makers going to play this? Huge price rises for existing consoles?

This hobby is quickly becoming unaffordable. It'll be interesting to see where it'll be in 5 years. I've been having a lot more fun playing vintage games lately. I can see a lot of people going back to their older consoles and games if these price spikes continue.

I probably will or at least hold on to my Switch 2 for years for the NSO games.

Storage formats could be increasing in price as well. If you want some extra storage then it is probably a good time to get that sooner rather then later.

Today's topic on the radio is 'the free birth society', a near cult that propagates giving birth without any medical assistence, born out of greed by a lady who saw an opening for a market and has made millions on it, only to lose her third child while practicizing her own insane beliefs.

Even ignoring my own history with the subject, what is it with Americans that makes them so susceptible to morons who'll denounce any form of scientific knowledge and the likes?

I'm not too certain, myself. A lot of these people believe in so many different conspiracies, thinking they know something , that they are a part of the in group. American media is littered with these conspiracy theory types who just profit off of the ridiculous and our "real" journalists do very little or nothing to push back.It doesn't help that we jave government officials who seem to be anti science and peddle their own conspiracies.

The bottom line is America has a media literacy problem and it has really gotten out of hand the last decade.

I came back to edit and soften my post, as perhaps it's our own media that focuses solely on the extremes.  Which undoubtedly is the case.  But the fact that you replied and kind of agree shows that it's probably more than that.

It's also strange when you compare the media landscape in say Russia, where everything is state controlled and people are fed the 'truth' that the government wants them to see, and that in America, where media is so free that it has given space to 'conspiracy types', that authocrats manage to thrive on both.  In the first there is no room for facts and in the second there is so much paranoia and doubt created about everything that the truth just gets swamped.

Our mainstream news media has largely replaced facts with their "opinions" which they tell us are "facts" so many don't trust them anymore,

Those people try to find the real facts online, but nobody knows who is telling the truth and that leads to even more crazy talk and conspiracies.
