  Prince of Persia is such a IP almost no one cares about and most people know that it has something to do with AC in some way.

  no stock Android on Tablets is really bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think part of the reason was to look good in stores. If you have a non curved and curved phone next to each other playing the demo video, the curved looks waaay more futurostic.

  yeah but a expensive mainboard does next to nothing to improve the performance. If you already got the besr SKU on offer and want to overclock then yes but otherwise its nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus Z890 motherboards emerge at a U.S. retailer — pricing starts at $280 and goes over $1,000⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get why people who aren’t already running Ryzen 9s, i9s or 4090s are buying anything besides the cheapest option. On my last 3 builds I always sorted by price and picket the cheapest option for the CPU Socket, payed at most 70$ and never had any issues. If you need to get the last 5% of performance by overclocking I get it, but for anyone else this is a giant waste of money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the 2013+ design was fine at time but 10+ years of doing the same flat minimalist design over and over makes me hate it now!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is UI design backsliding?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  no, I’m willing to die on the hill that the ribbon UI is one of the greatest UIs period - especially how it was done in office 07 and 10. As a computer noob at the time, it was a huge improvement over the previous office 2003 UI.

  The icons always gave you a good idea what something was doing, important functions were bigger and when you for example selected a table the table tab was visible and with a different color so you knew that you could do things with that table.

  I think however many 3rd party programms did the ribbon UI poorly or had not enough features for it to make sense.

  I hope it sells it well. Maybe its just me but I don’t see a big overlap between Platformer Fans and PS5 owners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there are two core issues. Their creation engine has struggled to keep pace since the PS4 era and Todd’s ego.

  The engine part can be fixed by either licensing something else or investing big time to bring that fossil up to speed.

  With Todd’s ego, I hope Starfield thought him a lesson or they make someone else top dog.
