What is there to recognize? This is a survey conducted on 2,000 Americans. 2,000 is just 0.00057% of the whole US population which is estimated at 345,426,571.

The average user absolutely do not use block ads unless it is enabled by default in the browser. Chrome with the largest market share does not block ads by default and if you are going out of your way to block ads or use a browser like brave that do that by default you my friend are already not an average user.

Yes I agree. If you are using adblocker you are already not an average user. Using A adblocker with custom filters put you on the extreme end and most of those users are either already on FF or have migrated to FF since the MV3 announcement.

And let’s not forget adblock made for MV3 will work well enough for those users who aren’t using adblocker with custom filters.

Even if Google kill off adblock completely with its browser, chrome will still be dominating the market by a huge margin.

Cod is like fifa. If you play one title you pretty much played all of them.

I say everything released after COD Modern Warfare 2019 can pretty much fall under “expansion”.

It is not for me but there are people who only play COD and spending $70 annually to get the newest content of the favourite game is really not that big of a deal.

I am not defending Activision. The title made it sound like the whole audio system is locked behind paywall but it is actually just the personalized profile that is.

Less shitty but still shit nonetheless. I can’t imagine it being worth paying and any improvement should be minimal. But hey I am sure there will be fanboys who swear the difference with and without is night and day.

Yes it is dumb. We are now one step closer to pay to reload and I am glad I don’t play modern COD.

Denuvo profits off game developers fears of their game not being well received by gamers for reasons such as performance issues, bugs, or at its foundation is just a mediocre game.

I like to believe that the narrative that piracy hurt sales is only true for medicore/bad games because the average pirate is broke and they are not going to buy your game just because of denuvo and those who can afford to buy will choose not to after getting to try it.

On the other hand good games will always be commerical successful with or without denuvo.

Enhanced Headphone Mode will be available to all players for free.

$20 is for 5 years subscription of Personalized profile for EHM.

If the personalized profile actually provide higher precision audio then yeah it is probably ‘worth it’ if Cod is the only game you play/or play competitively.

After all a good pair of stereo headphone is more ‘pay to win’ and also cost way more.

Yea. Those cheap jump scare got me every single time. Lol

I watch all kind of films and I have no issues with the latter. It is a good thing we are getting less of those unnecessary sex scene that add nothing to the story, plot or character development.

When it comes to surprise sex scene yes. The whole thing is just awkward. But when i am watching a film and i am expecting it to happen then no.

Uncomfortable with sex? No. My point was I don’t want to be watching an action movie and get a surprise sex scene that last too long and add nothing to the story. Maybe i am weird but clearly i am not the only one that appreciate a good film without those unnecessary sex scene. Otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing a steep decline of sex in films.

Yes i am glad i am seeing less of those useless sex scenes. In my opinion implied sex is better than graphical sex scene most of the time. You don’t need to see them have sex to know that they did and it will get the point across just the same to the audience without all the awkward and cringey aspect that comes with two actors playing pretend.

I get art. But there are alot of nudity in the mainstream films that are not that. If i want to watch sex there is porn. If i want nudity in art those exist too.

Don’t you feel awkward watching two actors play pretend? Or having your 5.1 audio system start moaning in a film when you are not expecting those type of content. Random naked body parts i don’t mind those but often time you can remove those and nothing of value will be lost. So my question is why?

My brain just go … when random awkward 30 second sex scene happens out of nowhere or they just start making out, kissing and moaning loudly then suddenly we are in the next scene and everything is back to normal. Why?

Unless the film is sexual in nature random full frontal nudity, stray tits, stray ass, visible privates always makes me so confused.

Yes it can. But we are still ways to go before it become a reality. The current AI is still missing the ‘intelligence’ and is no better than a a well designed predetermined script.

For every game that try to make good use of AI to improve on the player experience and immersion there will be hundreds, thousands more that do the exact opposite. Because that is capitalism for you. Just look at Upscaling/Frame generation.

Aren’t most games these days released in beta state? I can’t remember the last time I played a game that didn’t takes weeks and even months of updates for the game to be free from technical issues, bugs or missing content.

All because the average gamer is willing to pay full price for ‘early access’ and will probably never revisit the game 6 months or 1 year after launched to play the finished product.

i don’t get this ‘generation gap’ thing. There are also Milennials who are just as clueless.

You can always dive into the whole private tracker, sonarr/radarr + media server setup if you want superior quality or just to host your own files. But if you are happy with what streaming sites/apps provide that is fine too.

I for one am glad that piracy is easily accessible by anyone who has access to the internet.

I used to root my android phone to limit battery charge + adaway. But recently I finally gave up with rooting due to all the restrictions that comes along with it.

All I know is piracy definitely has an impact on bad games/products and if you give the consumer something worth buying, they will most definitely buy it if or when they can afford to.

They might also recommend it to their friends or talk about it online which lead to additional sales that would not happen if they didn’t sail the high sea.

It really is. It does everything just as well as an 6900xt at a lower price point.

Yes it is worth it if you want to upgrade now.

Even if you somehow find an used 6900xt that is cheaper you are giving up better rt performance, new features, longer driver support, warranty so imo i don’t think that is worth over getting a brand new 7800xt at its current price point.

Waiting is also an option. But it is hard to tell with AMD not competing for the high-end market with their 8000 series. Owners of 7900xtx may just opt to wait till 9000 series to upgrade.

Morepowertool version 1.3.9 is what you are looking for. Unfortunately it won’t work with 7000 series and future AMD cards due to AMD decision to lock down bios.
