competition only lowers prices if supply isn't limited sadly. And due to how the housing system works, that would virtually never happen.

Aoe2 since the release of definitive edition in 2019 has consistently been releasing new expansions. Because it has dedicated and fairly sizable fan base.

It also got its xbox console release earlier this year.

After i read that, I was like this man is a red flag

Not necessarily. An independent just doesnt side with a party (not to be confused with the independant party). An independant can have some slight preference to a side but it doesnt necessarily guarantee said side would get a vote.

one of the largest yes, but the latter part of your statement is completely off.

just talking about nvidia AIBS alone off the top of my head, theres: MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, Zotac, Galax, Colorful, Inno3d, PNY, Gainward, Palit.

and this is just nvidias optioins. There's a lot of competition. EVGA was a favorite to those living in the U.S due to having reletively better customer service, but it was far from not having competition.

it has some of the speed, but it's not quite the same. direct storage is something the Xbox would have access to, but xbox is not directly hardware accelerated in the same way the PS5 is. Think similar to FSR VS DLSS. one utilizes special hardware in order to achieve its result.

Evga is an AIB(and a single one in a goant pool), not a GPU designer like Nvidia/Intel/AMD are. The equivalent in console terms would be like madcatz dropping out of the accesory creation game. The only difference is that the accessory makers also have a hand in the hardwares design, but not the actual compute core itself.

But its 2023, pc gamers get free games every week on epic without having to pay for an online subscription, and thats solely just epic.

Theres actually a single one on the PS5, it essentially has a chip to hardware accelerate storage to ram loading speeds that PC speeds cant fully tap into yet.

Playstation devs are just badly leveraging the sole advantage it has.

The Xbox is virtualy a pc.

The lower point of Fahrenheight is near the freezing point of brine (salt water) which freezes at -6 F (-21 C).

It was designed around what the coldest day at the time of its invention could get and the 100F was marked around how hot the hottest day of the year at the timr would get. Hence its choice to scale 0-100 to local weather vs celcius' choice to use kelvin and offset it to standardize it to pure water.

computer has never broken using a 3rd party start bar, and ive been using it since the start of windows 10. historically, the only time something actually breaks in updates is if it requires the user to overwrite something in the windows folder (e.g complete theming changes). the start bar is not one of them.

I personally use openshell because its free, some people may prefer start10 or startisback. or go to more non vanilla options like Pokki
