Are cards used in mining really as worthless as ppl say? I've heard mixed things regarding this, that they could still be fairly good even after heavy use
There's going to be so many people that go into Darkest Dungeon 2 expecting it to be... Darkest Dungeon 2
Really depends on how well they were maintained. There have been a few looks into this and results have tended to settle on the ol' proceed with caution, especially if it sounds too good to be true, but most importantly, do not overpay.
And really, overpaying has been the tricky part since both new and used GPUs have been absurdly priced for years. Like a used 3060TI going for 300-350USD still seems really high for a card originally released in 2020ish that had an original MSRP of 400USD (granted, 3rd parties were probably closer to 400USD-500USD). Historically, with a new generation just around the corner, we would be seeing used cards going for more reasonable % off MSRP, and experiencing a greater % deprecation. Crypto and GPU shortages have just messed that all up.
This one is timed stamped for Crypto mining comments:

Just for fun,
Here is an example from 2017 with folks estimating deprecation of cards available at that time, it is almost cute to look at these days haha:
Using my own 1070TI, that was about ~450USD when I bought it, released in 2017-2018 depending on your view and just doing some silly hand waving math, I probably should be seeing ~60-80% depreciation or a resale of 180USD - 90USD, likely depending on condition yet folks are still selling these for around $250 (and it was even higher last year), which is just wow.
Out now! With good region pricing and launch discount too!
Here you guys go
The subwoofer by the way is a Sony CS9
Wow these things have gone up in price as has pretty much everything. I remember when I purchased mine for $100 in 2020.

I think my take is that they've made a completely different game here and used the DD name. Totally within their right, but its not going to feel the same as DD1 without the LONG missions and grindy hamlet. Also it seems like they chose to sort of get rid of the pokemon-like collect-the-classes and use em thing like XCOM and other games have. Again, also fine, but it doesn't feel very DD to me.
Eh. It's not for me, but that's totally fine. I'm sure it will be well liked. It looks amazing still.
I am really in the mood for game like Ghost of Tsushima but Sony is taking their sweet time with that one...
That's significantly cheaper than I expected. Do I need to have played the first one?
I just found out that Tiny Tina's Wonderland is releasing on Steam today and the exclusive period was only 90 days.
What's with the barrage of bad regional pricings?

Regional pricing is getting worse for more than a 2 years.
Last night I finished episode 1 of Life is Strange 2, which has been in my backlog for a while. But then I got a message that I have to purchase the other 4 episodes. There was no indication at all that I didn't own them already.
Oh well, I bought them for €6.50 on Kinguin (+€0.70 fees + €0.85 other fees, what a shit site!), trying to give Square Enix as little money as possible

for what it's worth, I think Life is Strange 2 is worth every penny. Hope you have a good time with it,Last night I finished episode 1 of Life is Strange 2, which has been in my backlog for a while.

FTFY
(Disappointment of the year for me)
If someone has some hidden gems in their backpocket ready for the Summer Sale, create a thread for it! I would, but I don't have any fresh gems in my mind at the moment.
LiS 2 is okay, it just didn't hit the same way that LiS 1 and Before the Storm did.

Yea honestly i dont know what they were even thnking with this.
Not only turning the game into a roguelike, but an uninspired, boring, bogstandard roguelike to boot.
Having an unskippable 30 second forced riding sequence between every encounter was such a garbage idea too.
I'm not sure how it is now, but then it launched, all the fans were upset.
The gpu itself is run heavily undervolted so the main chip and the power system should still be good, afaik the main concern (if the whole system is run in a properly cooled/maintained room of course) would be accelerated aging of the memory chips since those are pushed as memory speed is very important for the hash rate of ethereum. Unfortunately some cards have really toasty memory out of the box while others have overkill cooling running memory well within spec even overclocked so you'd have to look at the individual models.
Would love for someone with more knowledge to add to this though, i'm not an expert by any means.
they are chasing the "quick runs" over srpawling experience
What's with the barrage of bad regional pricings?
publishers (and now some devs as well) just stopped giving a fuck
enjoy! easily the best LiS game, hands down!
Wait Darkest Dungeon 2 is a roguelike????
I knew it was supposed to be bad but holy shit why would you do this

Sonic Origins performance under Proton is really bad for me. I get a lot of screen tearing in menu and the opening movie is really stuttering. Why on earth does it have Denuvo? Seriously what the hell is Sega doing when decompilations and fanports like Sonic 1 Forever. Sonic 2 Absolute and Sonic 3 AIR are working fine.
It has some rogue elements but it was still mostly focused on progression than runs. Looking at Darkest 2 gameplay, this shit is trying to be Slay the Spire minus the deck building and it looks awful.
Saw a post in the community hub mentioning that the game starts in a weirdly high resolution (2715x1527) and that the settings menu is hidden in the museum.
They still don't understand that NFT isn't the future in gaming?

Think I'll get Death Stranding if it goes on sale today
Our local all year round seal. Neslon died in 2003 and their was a fundraising to get him a statue.
It wouldn't surprise me if MS made a new controller with gyro and a more advanced haptics sometime this generation.
Here's hoping.
That’d be perfect, iirc the elite one has gyro but i cba to pay that much for something Sony offers with its normal controller
No Xbox controller has a gyro, unfortunately, even the Elite ones.
Didn't expect otherwise.Except for JP folks, unfortunately.
