  • I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing.

    Nobody ever said the second part.

    Don’t pre order, wait for reviews a couple weeks after release, buy if reviews are good and no major bullshit is discovered.

    What do you think you’re winning?

    Avoiding the major bullshit.

    Also, even if you did just buy day one: If developers have a lot of pre orders they know they’ll sell anyway they have less of an incentive to deliver the highest possible quality day one. That’s why people are telling you to not pre order. I could not care less if a stranger struggles with day one bugs, but they are helping to lower the bar for everyone else.



  • I hear it every time: But Muh Windows is better, because you dont have to install Drivers!!!11!11elf

    I come from a time when you (in Windows) had to hand pick the correct driver for the individual device from a very long list of options to make anything work, not just graphics. Not just “the nvidia driver”. Think “driver for the Sapphire RTX 12345.6.7-8 pro super max whatchamacallit RGB edition with anime waifu on the backplate, manufactured between May 21st and august 15th, quality controlled by Jeff and packaged by Tony”. If your card was packaged by Bertha instead it wouldn’t work. (Mine was always packaged by Bertha. Fuck Bertha.)

    I feel so fucking old when I read complaints like this (yeah, I know, it’s because I am). Is clicking the highest version number behind the word “nvidia” considered complicated nowadays?
