I'm probably one of only a handful of people who actually bought this.

Ghost in the Shell SAC 2045 collectors edition bluray set season 2

Something came early and it's more anime. I've not bought that in a while.

The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

when it comes to porn panics, we're repeating the mistakes of the past every damn day www.404media.co/steam-itchio...

I see this being reposted from time to time and every time I wanna cry. Why do we still not have a physical release of series in the US?

Good article, by the way. Nice read.

Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand Steam and Itch.io are worried about trouble with their payment processors, and Mastercard is not a payment processor.

The miniPC has 16 core/32 threads CPU (desktop is 8 core/16threads). 64GB 8000Mhz LDDR5 RAM. 32GB of it is for the iGPU.

My MiniPC comes at a gaming PC price ($1500. So it's not your typical miniPC and not cheap.

I play my games at 1080p with 165Hz refresh rate. So I'm not exactly pushing the hardware on this small PC. But it's more than enough for me.

My desktop is just about 3 yrs old. I'm still on a Ryzen 7 5800X CPU with a RTX 3070 Ti. 16GB 3600Mhz DDR4 RAM. It's no slouch but it's also few gens back.

I'm going to say it again. My miniPC is awesome. I don't think I've turned on my desktop PC in like 2 weeks. It's just it does everything I want to do on a computer, even gaming.

Having more RAM and faster RAM helps. Also, even though it has a iGPU, I have access to more vRAM than my desktop GPU.

Good luck

I gotta say I'll pretty much buy any Ghost in the Shell anime. (I did buy those Ghost in the Shell SAC bluray after all)

I'll be getting the 2nd half of Ghost in the Shell 2045 series - the one Netflix streamed that wasn't very good. I looked bad. I think I like the promo art of the Major the most.

I see some of Star Trek Strange New Worlds episodes and it seems to me that the ship feels very empty. It looks roomy but not many people there.

Discord’s UK age-verification thwarted by 'Death Stranding' photo mode A lot of people in the UK suddenly look like this 'Death Stranding' series character.

I have never called a game controller, a gamepad. Gamepad sounds like a term from 30 years ago.

When it glows with glorious RGB fury?

So makes a mouse mat, a gaming mouse mat?

My minipc seems to handle Horizon Forbidden West just as well as Horizon Zero Dawn.

Using FSR and frame gen. helps to get it to run. I mean, it runs well without them but using them helps smooth out the edges a bit. It's like 60-70 FPS (@1080p) without them and 90-100+ FPS with them on.

I thought so. Thanks.

Would a PC mouse or keyboard need anything more than USB 2.0?

I hate PC peripherals that don't tell me how much charge is left. A little red, blue or white LED doesn't tell me much.
